Of the funds collected, over $600 has been earmarked for relief in the southern tornado area. Favors at the Kiwanis ladies' night dinner Tuesday were Irish linen guest towels.

Don E. Kyger, Johnson-Shelby district Scout executive, was in town this week assisting with plans for the Boy Scout fund drive. The Freedom Flame is supposed to burn until eternity, but we hear that it has gone out once already. We are hearing many favorable comments about the high school band and the instrumental groups which are being directed by Carroll Copeland. Work is progressing rapidly on the new service station at the intersection of North Main and highway 31.

The Dixie division band has been booked for a performance at Seymour. We wish we had a movie of the drivers who have tried to put money into a parking meter in front of the office during the past week. The thing is jammed, and you should see some oi the gyrations people go through in attempting to put pennies into it! ft ft ft ft Just Notes: It was too bad that there was a traffic accident to mar the movement of the 31st division here. Because the huge airlift was completed without mishap, there might be some truth in the idea that the airways are safer than the highways. We see that the state is going to do a repair job on the road between Morgantown and Nashville.

Next Saturday, May 3, the Girl Scouts are going to stage their annual "Tag They're doing a worthwhile job, and need your support. ft ft ft ft Purely Political: Eisenhower headquarters is putting out this safety slogan written by Sarah Barker, 11, of Gas City: "Use both your hands to guide your bike, Or you'll never live to vote for Ike." ft ft ft ft Postscript: Don't forget to push your clock ahead an hour tonight.

Drops Woodmen Seventh Inninq Rally Stopped By Hawks GREENWOOD, April 26 A last inning rally fell short by two runs as the Greenwood Woodmen dropped a 7-5 decision Friday afternoon to the Decatur Central Hawks on the Marion County schools" home diamond. Greenwood loaded the sacks in the last of the seventh and "Sonny" Whitaker blasted a pitch into center field to score a run but Davis, trying to score all the way from first, was cut down at home on a fine throw to kill the Woodmen's hopes. Walks 11 Men FRANCES A.ttRT mp-ii M'lMfi FXFJlPT Z. liy.NAR3 1AM ZIVBAUi! M' one of the bright spots in Southern Italy was a developing market for cheese exports to America.

After the amendment was passed last year, when the bottom dropped out of the italian cheese market, agents from the Communist countries appeared, offering to buy agricultural products of the area, with obvious propaganda intent. News Rugs "1 1 Carrot Rabbit" Don Chailis and as the ball trickled into left field, both Theil and Lee scored, giving I. C. eight runs. Hurrle popped to the catcher and Boll was out of the woods momentarily, and he pitched good ball in the third and fourth.

Franklin did some leveling of the lopsided score by counting three times in the third. Scott and Boll walked and Murphy singled to load the bases with no one out. Ray Swayne, Greyhound pitcher, forced Hocker to ground to him. Swayne flipped the ball to the catcher Colcscott. and Colescott threw to Hurrle on first for the double play.

Sterling tripled, scoring Boll and Murphy, and he crossed the plate as Oldham's throw from let field went wild. Allows Three More As the fourth stanza began, it became apparent that Boll could not last for the entire nine innings. He weakened and allowed three runs to cross the plate, making the score 11-3. With one out in the fourth. Bob Tranter took over mound chores for the the Grizzlies.

He quickly put out the proverbial fire and only two hits were registered off him during the remainder of the game. Franklin came back in the seventh to add a couple of more runs. Chailis reached first as Hurrle pulled his foot off of the bag. Barron doubled him home and scored himself as the left fielder erred. The Grizzlies will continue their quest for a victory at Ball State Monday.

But for one bad inning they might have taken Indiana Central's measure. Indiana Central YOUR are building a city, a neighborhood, a way of life. You are putting a powerful, perhaps permanent imprint upon the land. You are creating an environment, a scene, a background that will have to be looked at for countless years. No one may logically contend, therefore, that what any man or group of men does with a particular piece of land is not the of the wider community.

It is. No matter what the rights of private there should be no right to deface a city. It is not too harsh to say that here and there we are building planned slums. A house ouuht to be a man's crowning pride, not his particular slot in an expanding cell block. What is the use of knowing belter if we do not act upon what we know? TODAY Sunday, Mondav By G.

This is the story of a wonderful family, short on cash but rich in everything else.

All of us love music in some form and a number of us have an appreciation for it.

But few of us actually do anything about it this takes honest effort and preseverance. Naturally everyone does not wish to make music a career, but here is- a book that presents it in such a unique way -that it sounds more like fun than toil.
