EAST. CHICAGO TWIN CITY NEWS INDIANA HARBOR Friday, September 10, 1937. THE HAMMOND TIMES Page Seventeen Rain Fails To Dampen Charity Grid Game Spirit KICK-OFF AT STAGE SET FOB TILT Bishop Noll Will Be Among Thousands to See Bears, AH Stars Play Twin City Social News Personals Clubs Notices Items Accepted Until 10 M. Phones: East Chicago 2444 and 2445 BULLJETIN Coach Fred Gillies announced at noon today that the charity pame would be played tonight, regardless weather. He made the announcement after Coach George Halas of the Chicago Bears said his team would appear as scheduled.

A California dew fell in East Chicago today but is not expected to dampen the spirits of grid fans who tonight will pack the Roosevelt High stadium for the city's annual charity show, the football game between the professional Chicago Bears and the Calumet Gunners-All Stars. The kick-off: 8:30 o'clock. Seats: Enough for 17,000. Admission: a box seats, 52. To St.

Catherine's hospital. More optimistic than usual this year, Publicity Chairman Alfred Jones predicted at noon that skies would clear and fans would be treated to ideal football weather. Mr. Jones made his prediction after scanning the skies and testing the wind for direction and velocity. He would not, however, offer odds.

One dyed-in-wool follower of the pigskin game who won't miss his third consecutive charity game tonight is Bishop John F. Noll of Fort Wayne. Arriving in East Chicago at 6 p. Bishop Noll will attend the game as the guest of Col. Walter J.

Riley, chairman of the board of directors of St. Catherine's hospital. Occupying his usual box, one of two complete boxes he purchased to support the charity venture, will be Mayor Andrew Rooney, his family and guests. As ticket sales chairman for the third year, Mayor today praised the work of his committee members who yesterday assured him of a record advance sale of general admission tickets. Box seat ducats were at a premium since early this week.

Superintendent of Schools Roy W. Feik and his grounds and arrangements committee will be active before and during the game to see that tha show runs smoothly. Programs to be sold by sorority girls are the results of committee efforts In charge of Attorney Lester Ottenheimer. General Chairman Fred Gillies will forget the business end of the show tonight to devote his time to beating the Bears. As coach of the All Stars, Gillies this year added the Chicago Gunners to his squad to bolster the attack and defense and make possible needed substitutions.

Calumet region society turns out for the game but the elite is far outnumbered by just plain football fans, many of whom are afforded their only opportunity of seeing a National Professional league team in action. The Bears, popular with local fans, furnish real grid entertainment and the increase in 1936 attendance over that of 1935 was evidence of the popularity.

THE OLD FUR GAME; WOMAN PAYS $120 CHICAGO, Sept. the confidence game boys are rushing the season, or winter really is just around the corner.

Hornstrom hadn't neard of him, and the men began an argument about the furs the trader was carrying. He had planned to give them to the brother, claiming they were seal skins. The trader said each was worth $200, and he wouldn't sell. The men left, but soon the second man called Mrs. Hornstrom and said the trader was coming back, and if she'd buy six of the pelts from him for $120 he'd buy them from her for $400.

The trader came back. Mrs. Hornstrom bought. But the second man never appeared and Mrs. Hornstrom learned the furs were valueless.

Events moved dramatically as the league council and Mediterranean conferences got under way.

Britain in a surprise gesture toward Italy modified her drastic anti-submarine campaign in hope of enlisting the cooperation of Italy and Germany, who boycotted the Mediterranean conference. Not only did Britain seek to diminish the urgent dangers of the Mediterranean conference, but to try once more to gain the friendship of Italy, lost in the Ethiopian war crisis. Attack Flagless Such drastic features of the antisubmarine plan as a shoot-to-sink convoy program were held in abeyance, though both Britain and France proceeded vigorously with their protective a a i by strengthening their battle fleets in the Mediterranean, French delegates tc the Mediterranean conference were reported to have ready a plan by which all nations would be asked to keep any submarines in the Mediterranean on the surface and to fly their flags at all times. Under the French plan submerged submarines or flag- less submarines would be considered "Pirates," liable to merciless attack. The day's events started with an implied affront to the totalitarian powers of Italy and Germany and to the nationalist Junta of Spain.

Juan Negrin, premier of loyalist Spain, was in the presiding chair when the council meeting opened. He took his place automatically as council members assume the chairmanship in alphabetical order. But Negrin's chairmanship emphasized to Italy, to Germany and to the nationalists represented here by a strong undercover delegation--that to the league the loyalist government is the properly constituted, legal government of the republic. Meet in Geneva The league council, after agreeing to consider the Spanish appeal against Italian warship attacks, adjourned until Tuesday. The adjournment was voted so that delegates could attend the opening meeting of the Mediterranean conference late today.

It was proposed to hold the meeting at Little Nyon, on the kke shore 12 miles from Geneva. But with Italy and Germany absent there was no reason to hold the meetings away from Geneva, and it was understood that tomonHow's meeting, at any rate, would be held here, and delegates were uncertain to the last moment whether to go to Non today or meet here. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of Great Britain was expected to see Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign commissar, just before the meeting. Litvinov was the key man of the Mediterranean conference at the moment. Eden sought to dissuade him from denouncing Italy at the opening of the meeting as the "pirate" 'mbmarine power.

Britain and France alike felt that no matter whose submarines they were going to hunt, to name Italy the suspect power could only bring added danger of a European explosion. Include Jap Problem China's plan to appeal to the league was an added complication for the harried statesmen assembled on the beautiful lake. The Chinese delegates--Wellington Koo, ambassador to France, and Quo Tai-Chi, ambassador to Great Britain--hoped that by reviving their old appeal, the advisory committee would be reconvened and that the United States would send an observing member automatically. Wellington Koo planned to attend the opening meeting of the assembly's agenda committee and see that the Japanese problem was put on the agenda. It was indicated China would fight to force the league to vote penalties against Japan on the ground that it invaded the territory of a league member.

Britain and France, who jointly convoked the Mediterranean conference, sought formation of an anti-pirate fleet to sink any warship that attacked ships of participating nations. Britain and France were understood to have agreed tentatively on a system of "patrolled zones" in the Mediterranean through which safe passage would be assured merchantmen by warships. The zone would be shared as follows: Six Patrol Zones 1. British zone, Gibraltar to Marseilles. 2.

French zone, Marseilles to Sicily and along the French African coast. 3. Italian zone, Sicily to Marseilles on the northward and Sicily to Italian Africa. 4. Anglo-Egyptian zone, covering Egypt, Suez and Palestine.

5. Greek zone, Greek waters. 6. Turkish zone, Dardanelles and Turkish coast. This plan hinged on Italy's acceptance of it.

Britain and France, however, would take over the Italian zone if Italy declined to participate. Germany also would be asked to agree. Navy patrols would counter attack any that molested legitimate shipping on the sea lanes. which had been set up in the vertised budget, was disallowed. An appropriation of $44,280 foe 36 new voting machines was given the stamp of approval, but an additional $21,450 to remodel 143 old machines was disapproved.

The council approved $100,000 ap-. propriation for materials and road rights-of-way to built by WPA, labor; $14,000 and $10,000 for new equipment for the Hammond and Gary superior court houses, respect tively; $15,000 for the Kennedy avenue bridge repairs; $120,000 foK election expenses; approved )75 appropriation for the highway, department and raised all chief dep. uties to the maximum.

He gave no explanation for his sence, which delayed the council all day on budget action.

He said: "Despite i a a i of such plants, the biggest problem (that of elimination of displeasing taste and odor of drinking water) would still exist. Whiting is in a position to proceed on the project. tax load has been borne primarily by industries and they are not eluded in the mandate." Martin's Statement The only solution to the problem forwarded to Mayor Martin is to finance construction of an adequate plant by issuance of revenue bonds charging cost and upkeep to ali users of toilet and other health facilities.

Under a similar plan Hammond financed its filtration plant by increasing water rentals 25 per cent. "While I have received no proper order, we'll proceed if we have to after a conference with heads of surrounding cities," Martin said. Mayor Clayton explained: "I realize steps to stop pollution should have been taken years ago, "Last year we applied for a 45 per cent maximum PWA grant to defray costs of building a sewage disposal plant in Gary, but the project was rejected because we were unable to inform the agency of the extent to which the industries are polluting the Grand Calumet river. Gary's Problem "The industries wanted the cost reduced to dollars and cents, so they could decide whether to come in on the proposed city plant or build their own. We couldn't furnish accurate figures because they failed to inform us of the volume of their waste water." Calumet region taxpayers repeatedly have opposed creation of sanitary districts, fearing high property taxes and possible injection of political spoil systems.

Under the law sanitary districts cannot be created except by popular referendum. MEAT SHOPS PHONE I. H. 2771 SATURDAY SPECIALS AT Main Ind. Harbor SNOWWHITE L-A-R-D With Meat Purchase 2 LBS.
