Teacher Killed 


Voice of the People: 
Several weeks ago the city 


editor made an appeal in hi; 
column for public interest in 
Community Chest for Dixon 


May I outline some of the rea 


sons why the American Cancer So 
ciety, among other national organi 
zations which necessarily raisi 
funds, does not subscribe to this 
federated fund raising idea? 


First: Informed opinion holds 


that one big combined campaign 
will not raise the total amount of 
money that four or five separate 
drives will yield. The average 
giver will contribute only a cer- 
tain maximum amount at one 
given time no matter how many 
agencies are to benefit. Then, 
too, the workers are apt to lack 
the enthusiasm for a united ap- 
peal which they would normally 
(eel for their one favorite organ- 
ization. 
* * * 


Second: Group fund raising de 


nies the potential contributor any 
choice in giving. Most people are 
naturally more interested in the 
work of one organization than an 
other, often for personal reasons 
If the giver is forced to support all 
or none, a feeling of dissatisfaction 
might result. 


Third: Each organisation's 


campaign for funds- In accompa- 
nied by its own form of public 
education, a distinct IOM to each 
in the event of one,..coiiUtraiUty 
drive. 


» • * 


For these reasons the Illinois Di 


vision. Inc., American Cancer So- 
ciety, does not agree to accept 
money from a Community Chest 
aince it feels that by so doing the 
number of cancer'deaths would un- 
questionably increase. 


During April, designated by con- 


gress as Cancer Control Month, 
volunteer workers for the Ameri- 
can Cancer Society call upon peo- 
''ple to secure their contributions 


and to inform them about recog- 
nizing cancer's seven danger sig- 
nals. At this time national and lo- 
cal publicity through press, radio 
and television is a tremendous fac- 
tor in informing thousands of peo- 
ple otherwise unreached. 


Calling the attention of the in- 


dividual to signs of cancer in its 
early stages and the Importance 
of the time element in consulting 
one'* physician is undoubtedly 
the most effective weapon in 
•aving lives now. Fund raising 
and education go hand in hand. 
When one gives his money to 
help fight cancer, he feels he has 
a stake in the whole program of 
cancer control. 
In 1953, the American people con- 


tributed $18,000,000 as a nation, 
11,099,900, as residents of Illinois 
and $7,402.70 as Lee county resi- 
dents to the American Cancer So- 
ciety. These figures must prove 
that the society has many friends 
who believe in supporting through 
independent fund raising the three- 
fold program of research, educa- 
tion and service to cancer patients.

City Editor's Note: Community 


Chest dos not imply IOM of reve- 
nue for any fund-raising organ- 
ization or the desertion thereof. 
OrfMtestions set budgets Mid 
they are incorporated hi the sin- 
gle budget. Enthusiasm for one 
organization or another would 
surely balance itself and act for 
the'general benefit. The Cancer 
Society's education program cer- 
tainly could jo on unimpeded. 
This writer, and others, foresee 
a frowing dissatisfaction over 
the continuous clamor for fund* 
by more and more organization*.

be the final judge.

Sen. Ferguson Calls 
For Legislative Action 


DIfi TRENCHES—An airport once covered this area where soldiers

Doctor Accused of Attempt 
To Kill Wife With Cyanide 


Feeds Her Capsules for Digestion; 
Analysis Reveals the Deadly Poison 


KANSAS CITY—(to—A prominent Kansas City obstetrician is charg- 


ed with trying to kill his wife by tricking her into taking deadly cyanide 
in a digestive capsule. 


A warrant charging Dr. Hugh 


G. Hamilton with attempted mur- 
der was served on him Friday in 
a hospital where he is recuperating 
from a leg fracture. Today is Ham- 
ilton's 49th birthday. 


No motive was disclosed. Prose- 


cutor Richard Phelps said the 
charge was based on information 
provided by Mrs. Martha Hamil- 
ton. He said cyanide was found in 
a capsule given her by her hus- 
band. 


A small bottle of cyanide cap- 


sules was found in a pair of Ham- 
ilton's trousers at the hospital. 


Phelps said that Mrs. Hamilton 


lad been taking digestive capsules 
for a number of years and had 
planned to purchase a new supply 
t>ef*,-e going to California earlier 
this year to visit relatives. He 
quoted her as saying her husband 
insisted on obtaining the capsules 
lor her and she decided, on reach- 
ing the West Coast, to have the 
medicine analyzed. 


Phelps said the analysis showed 


raqes of cyanide in the medicine. 


Hamilton is being kept under 24- 


hour guard in his hospital room. 


Dr. Hamilton d e n o u n c e d the 


charge as "fantastic and absurd," 
but declined to elaborate.

cil toy Frank Hughes, Dixon con- 
tractor, on his bid of $11,088.90 for

The award was made during a 


special meeting of the council yes- 
terday in order to enable work on 
the culvert to begin as soon as 
possible. 


Peoria avenue has been blocked

Controversial Pvt Schine 
Ends MP Basic Training 


AUGUSTA, Ga.—<*)—With controversy still raging about him, Pvt. 


G. David Schine was to be graduated from a military police basic train- 
ing school at Camp Gordon today.

The former committee investi- 


gator for Sen. Joseph McCarthy 
R-Wis) now may get 
another 


crack at entering the criminal in- 
'estigators school at Gordon, ac- 
aiding to Army Officials in Wash- 
ngton. He wa* refused admit- 
ance to the school while in train- 
ng, 


McCarthy has said that John G. 


Adams, assistant Army counsel,

he denied Schine's application for 
a criminal investigators' course 
beginning May IT. But the general 
said Schine applied for a later 
course and action on this applica- 
tion is pending. 
. 


Maglin's statement came after 


the Washington Post and Times- 
Herald reported that the Army 
waived a length of service rule to 
accept Schine'* application 
for 


CID training. However, the paper

sion to that effect was reversed

President's 
Plan Lags 
In Congress 


Democrats Jeer 
At Inactivity; 
April 'Crucial' 


WASHINGTON — <£>> 


Se'n. Ferguson (R-Mich) call 
ed today for a speedup in ac 
tion on President Eisenhow 
er's legislative program in 
what he said will be the make 
or-break month of April. 


Democrats, meanwhile, gibed "a 


the Republican leadership forwha' 
they called failure to push through 
the President's proposals. 
- Ferguson said in an interview 
he will ask the Senate Republican 
Policy Committee, which he heads 
to consider next Tuesday a sched 
ule aimed at bringing to the Sen 
ate calendar in the next five weeks 
all of the bills covering the Presi 
dent's major recommendations. 


Must Move Faster 


"Unless we get these measures 


out of committee by May 1 anc 
on the calendar where they are 
ready for Senate action, I am 
afraid some of them just aren't 
going to get passed before our 
scheduled July 31 adjournment," 
he said. 


The Michigan senator said he 


thinks the present uproar over the 
controversy between Sen. McCar- 
thy (R-Wis) and Army officials is 
obscuring 
the Eisenhower pro- 


gram. 


In Omaha, Republican National 


Chairman Leonard W. Hall said 
Friday night the McCarthy-Army 
dispute "has done more harm than 
good." 


But he asserted the Eisenhower 


program is "now moving through 
Congress," and said it "is designed 
to keep us sound economically by 
building more industry, more jobs 
and a healthy agriculture." 


Program Is Issue 


Eisenhower has predicted that 


what- he calls his "dynamic, pro< 
gressive" program will be the 
principle issue in the November 
elections. 
. . 


Thus far the Senate has passed 


only the St. Lawrenoe Seaway bill 
and an excise tax measure not 
wholly pleasing to administration 
leaders, who had to accept more 
reductions in such levies than they 
would have liked. 
-The House has set a much fast- 
er pace but has not yet taken up 
measures involving the reciprocal 
trade program, social security ex- 
pansion, farm price supports and 
revision of the Taft-Hartley act. 


Democratic National Chairman 


Stephen A. Mitchell said in Gary, 
Ind., Friday night that because of 
the row between McCarthy and 
Army officials he doubts "if the 
average citizen even recalls that 
the President has a program." 


No Action 


"It is now 78 days since that 


so-called 'dynamic1 program was 
unveiled—and so far we see not a 
single piece of it enacted," Mitch- 
ell said in a speech. "We await 
action on agriculture, on for e i g n 
trade, on the St. Lawrence Sea- 
way, on Taft-Hartley, minimum 
wages, housing, social security, 
medical research, hospitals, high- 
ways, conservation, and all the 
rest," 
Hold Dixon Youth 
For Aggravated 
Assault, Battery 


T»i 
~ 


Charles Delph, 17, Dixon, was 


charged with aggravated assault 
and battery following his arrest to- 
day by Lee County Sheriff John 
Stouffer. 


Delph was picked up on a com- 


plaint signed by Lyle Taylor, Dix- 
on, who charged the teenager with 
striking him Friday night. 


According to authorities, Delph 


allegedly attacked Taylor for no 
apparent reason. 


Reports indicated the two men 


were out together Friday night 
when Delph suddenly turned on 
Taylor and struck him. 


Delph was released early this 


month from Vandalia, atau work 
farm.

Lack Counsel for 
McCarthy -Army 


Sen. Mundt May Be Forced 
To Delay Start of Probe 


WASHINGTON—Iffl—Finding a special counsel to handle senate in- 


vestigation of charges Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis) and high army officials 
have aimed at each other is proving to be a tougher job than some 
senators apparently had expected. 


Even Sen. Mundt (R-SD), who 


will preside at the televised public 
airing of the charges before the 
Senate investigations subcommit- 
tee, 
acknowledged that it now 


seems "less possible" that the 
hearings can get under way next 
week as he had hoped. 


McCarthy, the subcommittee's 


chairman, has agreefl to let Mundt 
run the hearings. 


Mundt and Sens. McClellan (D- 


Ark) and Jackson (D-Wash), plan- 
ned another round of effort today 
to line up for the job a lawyer who 
would qualify as neutral and cap- 
able, would command public con- 
fidence by his record — and would 
be willing to take on the job. 


The- three senators, serving as 


a 
s p e c i a l 
subcommittee to 


nominate the counsel, kept secret 
the names under consideration. 


There were indications they got 


a turn down Friday from another 
prospect. They previously had an- 
nounced that William J. Jameson, 
president of the' American Bar 
Assn. on the advice of its board 
of directors, had declined an in 
vitation to serve. 


Mundt had spoken during the day 


of having three candidates under 
serious consideration. 
He 
later 


mentioned only two, and declined 
to elaborate. Other sources, how- 
ever, said .the third man had said 
"no."

WASHINGTON (ff> — The Bureau 


of Employment Security reports a

Bank Depositors Asked to 
Accept Embezzlement Loss 


CLIO, Ala.—(fl—A creditors' committee sought unanimous agree- 


ment from depositors today to take a 10 to 15 per cent loss so a $75,000 
deficit in the Clio Merchants Exchange can be liquidated without a 
court fight. 


Eighty-six of an estimated 200 


customers of the unchartered, un- 
insured money exchange agreed on 
the settlement at a mass meeting 
Friday night, but another 40 or so 
took the prepared agreement con- 
tracts home. 


Mayor Empowered 


The creditors' committee, head- 


ed by 29-year-old 
Mayor Dan 


Easterling, was empowered to act 
on behalf of the townspeople and 
the defunct exchange provided all 
depositors are willing. 


One dissenting vote, however, 


would automatically void the pro- 
poced settlement because any dis- 
gruntled depositor could force the 
troubled affairs of the privately 
operated 
check-cashing 
agency 


into bankruptcy. 


AbMnt from the meeting in the 


high school auditorium was Royall 
Reynold*, 40-year-old president of 
the exchange whose 12-day dis- 
appearance earlier 
this 
month 


brought on an investigation which 
•Rowed the $75,000 shortage in hie 


He was in jail in Clayt&n, Ala., 


the county seat, on embezzlement 
charges. 


Explains Plan 


Mayor Easterling explained to 


the approximately 125 depositors 
who showed up last night that a 
court fight over the money would 
cause long delay in getting the 
money back to depositors and 
probably will result in a much 
smaller rebate. 


The mayor said the exchange 


president and his wife have al- 
ready deeded 
their 
fashionable 


brick home over to the depositors 
and cashed in $5,000 in bonds Fri- 
day. 


The ultimate repayment of IS or 


90 cents on the dollar is based on 
the agreement of other member* 
of the Reynold* family to give up 
some $33,000 in claims to their 
share of exchange deposits, plus 
the 72-year-old nearly blind fath- 
er s promise to put up 114,00* out 
of hi* pocket.

Esther Chits* 
Franklin. Is 
Crash Victim 


Auto Sideswiped 
By Passing Car 
On Alt. Rt. 30 


A 49-year-old proprietor of 


a Dixon music studio was 
killed at 8:45 a. m., today in 
an auto mishap on Alt. Rt. 30 
about three miles west of 
Franklin Grove. 


Mrs. 
Esther 
Gluts, 
Franklin 


Grove, operator of Cluts Music stu- 
dio, on Second street, just west of 
Galena avenue, was fatally in- 
jured on her way to work this 
morning. 


The accident occurred on Alt. Rt. 


30, near the farm of George Eh- 
men, St. 1, Franklin Grove. 


Forced Off Road 


According to Robert Burrs, Lee 


county chief deputy, the car driven 
by Mrs. Cluts apparently 
was 


forced off the road by another ve- 
hicle driven by Glenn F. Huff, 16, 
Rochelle. 


Burrs said both cars were head- 


ing west toward Dixon when the 
Huff car attempted to pass. As he 
drove alongside, the right front 
tire apparently blew. 


As a result, the Huff car swerved 


into the side of the car of Mrs. 
Cluts, shoving her vehicle off the 
right side of the road and into a 
culvert. 


The Cluts car bounded off the 


culvert and leaped about five feet 
into the air before it landed on its 
roof. Mrs. Cluts -landed beside the 
car which had bumped the Ehmen 
garage, about 50 yards from the 
Ehmen farm home. 


KSB hospital reported Mrs. Clut* 


dead on arrival. 


The Huff car was turned com- 


pletely around and came to a halt 
on the right road bank, approxi- 
mately 75 feet from the Cluts ma- 
chine. 


Huff was taken to the hospital 


for examination. 


The deceased Is the wife of 


Maurice Cluts, Franklin Grove, an 
employe of the Dierdorff Plumbing 
firm. Franklin Grove. 


Mr. Cluts was working when in- 


formed of tha accident. 


Burrs said he did not know yet 


whether any charges will be filed 
against Huff. 


The chief deputy said rcp'orts 


indicated the speeds of both cara 
weren't in excess of what could 
be considered reasonable and sale- 


Mrs. Cluts had lived in Franklin 


Grove more than 20 years. Sh« 
taught music in the Franklin Grove 
school before and after her mar- 
riage. She had operated her Dixon 
studio about one year. 


In addition to her husband, she 


is survived by three step-children, 
Mrs. 
Bernice 
Ventler. Ashton; 


Burnell Cluts, Kansas City, Kan., 
and Glenn Cluts, Elgin.

IQ, who can finish a year's work in 
one-fourth or one-half year Some 
schools, she reported, recognize the 
gifted child and allow skipping 
grades because the gifted child can 
accomplish the woik more quickly 
than the aveiage pupil. 


She pointed out that some school! 


allow a teacher to teach a foreign

a gifted child can be recognized by 
individual intelligence tests, or by 
patents and teacheis' iccognition 
ot the child s ability The gifted- 
child is usually above average phy-

cording to his ability so that intel-

she said,

Di Volbeidmg said the teacher 


foi the gifted child must be a good

well-adjusted and lealize that in 
some fields her pupil will excel

She warned there is a clanger of

Home Improvement, 
Plywood's Specialty 


Horn* woodwokera have 
long: 


been fond of plywood for its man; 
favorable 
characteristics. 
Chie: 


among them is its tendency to re 
gist warping and twisting. 


That fact, plus tfie added ad 


vantage that it is readily obtain 
able In much wider panels than 
natural lumber, and that it can be 
purchased with hardwood veneers 
that duplicate the finest grain 
patterns of natural Iumber,makes 
plywood a workshop "natural.1 
Its uses have lin.its, however, and 
natural Irmber is still essential to 
almost every kind of woodcraf 
project. 


The two general types of ply 


wood are Exterior and Interior 
Waterproof Douglas fir plywood is 
used for all exterior applications 
because its plies are bonded with 
synthetic resin, which stands up 
under extremes of weather. 


Interior plywoods range from 


Douglas fir, a softwood, for wal 
and ceiling panels, subfloors, stor 
age units and many types of fur 
niture, to hardwood-veneer types 
mentioned before. 


Highest grades of Exterior and 


Interior plywoods are made in 
widths of 2'2, 3, 3'i and 4 feel 
and lengths of from 5 to 12 feet 
Lower grades come in a shorter 
range of sizes. 


There are several grades and 


classifications of plywood adoptee 
by the Douglas Fir Plywood Asso 
ciation as standards for the in 
dustry. 


For instance, the highest grade 


of either Exterior or Interior fir 
plywood is called A-A, or "good 
two-sides." That means both sides 
•re sanded smooth and have high 
quality appearance. Plywood des 
ignated A-B is a common work 
shop^grade. It has one sound side 
suitable for fine finish, while the 
other side has small, tight knots 
or other slight imperfections. 


The lowest grade the handyman 


Is likely to use is the A-D grade 
for wall and ceiling paneling, anc 
other uses where only one face 
will show. Of course this grade 
costs less than either of the others 
mentioned. 


Thicknesses of plywood range 


from >•£ Inch for hardwood veneer 
construction to 1'* inches for 
Douglas fir Exterior grades. 


Hardwood 
plywood is 
graded 


differently from the Douglas fir 


Asphalt Roofing 
Versatile, Suits 
All Structures 


Buildings of all sizes, shapes, and 


purposes can be suitably roofed 
with at least one of the many dif- 
ferent types of asphalt roofing ma- 
terial. The asphalt roofing industry 
supplies 80 to 85 percent of all the 
roofing now required in the United 
Slates, according to the U. S. De- 
partment of Commerce. 


Asphalt shingles are the most 


widely used roofing material for 
homes. Their combination of wea- 
ther-resistance, 
color, 
economy, 


long life, and fire-resistance has 
led to their selection for about four- 
fifths of all new homes as well as 
for new roofs on older dwellings. 


Asphalt roll roofings are often 


selected for farm buildings and 
other service structures. Roll roof- 
Ing, like asphalt shingles, is pro- 
duced in numerous solid and blend 
«d colons. 


"Build-up" roofs are used for 


flat-roofed structures. A roof cf 
this kind is "manufactured" on 
the roof deck by applying several 
layers of felt, which are saturated 
and bonded together with liquid 
asphalt.

Never stack your good china cups 


if you want to keep them intact. 
Set them in neat rows.

The many varieties, sizes and textures of plywood make it ideally

variety. Grade 1 is the highest and 
calls for close matching of grain 
and color of both sides. 
Very 


slight imperfections are allowed. 
Grade 4 Rejects is the lowest des- 
ignation and this type should be 
used only where it is entirely con- 
cealed. 


The most common and most 


readily available 
hardwood ply- 


woods 
are 
walnut, 
mahogany, 


oak, gum and birch. There are 
many others not quite so easy to 
obtain, and all have a wide variety 
of grain patterns. 


To the home woodcrafter or 


everyday handyman, hardwood-ve- 
neer plywoods have great appeal 
for making fine furniture, includ- 
ing cabinets and desks, television 
and radio cabinets, table tops, wall 
coverings and others. 
i 


There are other types of special 


plywoods, such as striated or tex- 
tured wall tiles, hardwood plywood 
planks, also for wall paneling, and 
plastic-faced plywoods for kitchen 
tables.' sink 
tops and 
similar

Changes in Home Building 
Pattern Trend, Reviewed 


Color Makes House Taller 


To make this ranch-style home look larger than it really is, the 


color designer relied on pastel roofing and siding in a blending color. 
Exterior colors, as indicated by numbers, are: The roof (1) is pastel 
nuset asphalt shingles. Sidewalls <2) are coral. Trim (3) is light 


and the accent color on the door (4) is peacock. 


For this small contemporary dwelling, the illusion-creating colors 


are: The roof (1) is brown asphalt roofing. Siding (2) is a blending 
ligbt brown. Trim (3> is off-white. The accent color (4) is willow. 


Your house will appear taller 


and wider than it actually is if 
you take advantage of the extra 
dimension of color. 


Light-color asphalt shingles are 


well suited to modem one-story 
houses because they draw the eye 
upward, emphasizing height and 
creating an impression of impor- 
tance. Because the roof usually is 
the largest unbroken area of a 
house, it is the key to the whole 
color plan. The roof color should 
be chosen first. 


The next step is to choose har- 


monizing siding, also in a light 
color. To emphasize the bright 
roofing and siding, doors should be 
in dark, contrasting hues. This 
gives much the same effect as 
wearing a dark tie with a light 
Colored suit. The illusion of great- 
er size will be increased if trim 
paint matches siding.

Significant changes in the home 


building pattern of America were 
forecast Thuisday as a segment of 
the booming prefabricated house 
manufacturing industiy held its 
national sales meeting in Dixon's 
Loveland Community house. 


The prefabricated home saleb- 


men are dealers for GBH-Way 
Homes, Inc.. of Walnut, 111. 


Keynote of the convention, the 


14th annual session of the Walnut 
firm's salesmen, was announced 
by Everett Mitchell, whose "It's a 
beautiful day in Chicago" has be- 
come a byword through 30 years of 
radio. But yesterday, E v e r e t t 
changed his familiar greeting to: 


"It's a beautiful day in Dixon!" 


Better Methods 


He complimented the piefabri- 


cated home building industry for 
working out better methods of 
making better homes available in 
America. 


"Today's piefabricated 
house. 


p r o d u c e d by organizations as 
yours, matches the best m conven- 
tional builcling," Mitchell said. 


"Most important, such building 


methods put high quality homes 
within reach of families who could 
not afford such houses. 


"In effect, you are selling much 


more than houses. You are doing 
a community service—because a 
good 
home means high living 


standards and fine family rela- 
tions." 


Preceding his t a l k , Mitchell 


showed colored slides which he 
and his wife took in their travels 
to foreign countries. He used them 
to show advantages America holds 
in things as housing and living 
standaicls. 


Keen Competition 


Master of ceremonies for the 


meeting, held in Dixon for the 
third successive year, was-rChfford 
M. Hill, president of the Walnut 
organization. 


Hill told house salesmen every 


one of them knows the era of k_een 
competition Is here. 


"Our 
shipments for January, 


February and March are practical- 


ly doubled over last year. Weather 
and quality and new features in 
our type of building have helped. 
Most of all. our inciease is a dem- 
onstration that a hard-hitting sales 
organization can get business when 
the chips are down." 


He said FHA and the VA *are 


helping to make building credit 
easier Another significant trend, 
he said, is toward larger houses. 
The three-bedroom house is much 
more popular now than formerly, 
and many families are asking for 
four bedrooms. 


Do It Yourself 


"And let's not overlook the very 


real and important appeal of 'Do it 
yourself.' because many families 
are pitching in and actually doing 
much of their own woik, in order 
to get a really nice house," Hill 
said. 


Other speakers from the Home- 


Way staff at Walnut included Wal- 
lace W Bass, vice president and 
purchasing agent; E:;L T. Jauch, 
engineer in planning and lesearch; 
George E. Gonigam, assistant en- 
gineer; Robert L. Myers, designer 
and advertising manager; Emmett 
R. Myers and Gene Johnson, sales 
supervisors, and Charles D. Hill, 
manager of the lumber and build- 
ing depaitment of Gonigan-Bass- 
Hill Co.. of Walnut. 


John W. Loots, treasurer and 


chief of the loan division of the 
Fidelity Life Insurance Co., was 
complimentary to the expansible 
house idea. 


Bob Pei ry of Dixon was a mem- 


ber of the panel of (talesmen who 
presented an entertaining series of 
right and wrong ways to handle 
prospects. 


Among the new features which 


were "unveiled" and discussed for 
the sales organization, a new and 
modem low-pitch roof line of 
houses was given top interest. Thi 
latest development of the Walnut 
research and 
planning division 


uses newly developed roof trusses 
for a house that is 24 feet wide, 
with 3-foot extended cornices. Indi- 
cations are that a large percentage 
of pi-oduction this season will be of 
this new line.

PLUMBING and HEATING 


Mount Trophies 
On Quickly Made 
Plyivood Plaque 


A plaque or rack of hardwood 


plywood will provide an ideal 
background for setting off a trophy 
on the den or game room wall. 


Plywood is well suited for this 


purpose because it is easily ob- 
tained, will not split, and is work- 
ed easily with ordinary tools by 
the home craftsman. The beautv 
of the genuine hardwood grain will 
make the prized object look all 
the more impressive. 


To mount a cup or a model, at- 


tach to the plaque a semi-circular 
stand made of the same type of 
plywood as the plaque. It can be 
supported by wood brackets. 


Many prized 
objects 
can be 


mounted on small dowels stained 
to match the plywood plaque. A 
Unique treatment is to inset small 
powerful permanent magnets into 
the hardwood plaque if the object 
to be mounted is of metal with a 
steel or iron base. The advantage 
of using magnets or dowels is 
that the mounted object can be 
plucked off its resting place for 
Quick use or to allow admiring 
friends to examine it rnore close- 
iy. 


Magnets can often be used with 


materails other than metal by in- 
setting in them a small 
steel 


spline, as might be done with the 
wood handle of an antique pistol. 
The pistol would be supported by 
two magnets, one at the barrel 
and one at the handle, opposite the 
spline, with a dowel through the 
trigger guard for added support. 


The plaque should be made of 


hardwood plywood which is at 
least -Vinch thick. If magnets are 
to be used, they should be lecess- 
ed -"-I inch. In that case, a piece of 
plywood si inch thick should be 
glued to tne plaque to provide 
backing. The edges of the plywood 
plaque should be beveled. Because 
the amount of wood involved will 
be small, the craftsman may wish 
to invest in one of the more un- 
usual hardwoods. In any case, an 
important pait of the job will be 
to give the hardwood a natural fin- 
ish so that the beauty of the gram 
may contrast with and enhance the 
prized object to be mounted.

Mildew Stains 


Mildew stains are difficult to re- 


move, but the best way to treat 
them Is to use hot suds, then mois- 
ten them with lemon juice and salt. 
Dry In the sun. if possible, and 
bleach with hydrogen peroxide if 
the stain is old. Be sure to rinse 
thoroughly. 


Save Wear, Tear 


To save wear and tear on your 


tablecloths, change 
the way in 


which you fold them each time. 
This prevents continued creasing

Biggest Garden Thrill Is 
Raising Plants From Seed 


A true dirt gardener, who grous her own flowers, shares a 


royal hobby centuries old. 


Amateur gardeners assert that 


their do-it-yourself hobby is not 
only the most widely practiced to- 
day, but the most ancient of all the 
avocations now followed in leisure 
hours by millions of Americans. 


They can cite history to prove 


that the fascination of growing 
your own plants has appealed to 
men since history began. Ancient 
rulers with armies of servants 
found pleasure in planning gardens 
and personally planting them. 


The Persian emperor Cyrus laid 


out a park in front of his palace at 
Sardis and proudly told Lysander, 
the Spartan, that his own hands 
had planted many of the trees. 


Not every garden owner today 


can make the same boast as Cy- 
rus. But garden club members will 
agree that the keenest thrill to be 
won from this hobby is experienced 
when a flower blooms on a plant 
which grew from a seed or bulb 
which you planted, like Cyrus, with 
your own hands. 


The difference between growing 


a garden and admiring t h o s e 
grown by others finds a parallel 
in athletic sports. No spectator can 
ever share completely the physical 
benefits and sense of achievement 
which the player enjoys. 


While its greatest rewards are 


in mental and physical health, 
gardening with your own hands m 
these times pays substantial mate- 
rial profits which the whole family 
can share. 


On a small plot most of the 


vegetables needed by the average 
family can be grown in fewer 
hours work than it would take to 


shop for them in the market. 


Decorative gardening not only 


rewards the gardener but adds 
substantially to the value of the 
home where it is piatticed. 


The social contacts which devel- 


op from activity in gatdenmg are 
not the least of its rewaids. The . 
rapid expansion of the gaiden club 
movement among both men and 
women is based upon the spread- 
ing interest m this hobbj. 


Many clubs requne that their 


members be "dirt gardeners" who 
plant things with tneir own hands. 
To qualify for membership m this 
fraternity, winter is an excellent 
time to begin. A seed box in a 
sunny window gives the best of 
all initiations to the practice of 
plant growing. Every tiny seedling 
can be seen as an individual, de- 
pendent on your care, and by 
watching its progress or decline, 
as you succeed or fail, lessons can 
be learned far more quickly than 
in the garden.

Authoritarian Efficiency Lies Only 


In Hiding Inefficiency 


Bv their nature, democracies muddle through. At times, 


their warmest advocates grow exasperated with the delays, 
the confusion, the inefficiencies and the backing and filling 
which mark the process of popular decision. 
In these moments, some people cast longing glances 


toward the authoritarian governments, where common re- 
port has it that dictation from the top produces a high de- 
gree of efficiency, of centralized action, without inordinate 


6 The phrase, "he made the trains run on time," heard 
so much in Mussolini's day, expressed quite well this some- 
what envious thought. Now, in Communist China, it is the 
Reds, who are making; the trains run on time. 


But in truth, this whole notion is an illusion which 


does not stand up under close inspection. A few examples 
from Nazi Germany, billed as the great colossus which did 
everything right, will reveal the fallacy in this outlook. 


After the war. when we could interrogate thousands of 


men who were involved in the German war effort, we learned 
•just how "efficient" Nazi rule really was. The fact was that 
k was a horribly bungling regime which kicked away an 
amazing number of opportunities to advance its cause of 
conquest.

Two years after the great war began. Hitler still did not 


have arms production organized on a sensible basis. In 1942, 
with German legions expending 400 million rounds of bullets 
a month in Russia, the Nazis were producing just 115 million 
a month. 
As Theodore White reports, Hitler "flicked his war pro- 


duction about as the whim took him, ordering, canceling, 
guessing, exhorting, without reference to fact, figure or sta- 
tistic." The armed services ordered irrelevantly; priorities 
were a jumble. 


Another instance: Germanv lost a great battleship, the 


Scharnhorst, largely because German naval air reconnais- 
sance was so indifferent the ship's commander began duelling 
British ships without knowing a British battleship of supe- 
rior fire power was among them. 


One man, Herman Goering. was responsible for this loss. 


As boss of the air force, he was contemptuous of the navy 
and its need for air guidance. The German navy never got 
the air protection most navies have.

These errors grew out of government by dictate, by in- 


dividual whim. The democracies made mistakes in the war, 
too. 
And big ones. But the democracies had one saving 


grace. Their errors were subject to the corrective of criti- 
cism. 
«

In lands where freedom rules, most decisions are put 


under public scrutiny, questioned, debated, hammered at, 
even reversed if need be. Thus, all the inefficiencies are ex- 
posed, and performance often seems worse than it is. 


In totalitarian countries, errors are suppressed and thus 


are compounded and magnified. To the world they offer a 
facade of perfection. But it is jerry-built, and conceals a 
host of weaknesses. 


No. we need not envy the authoritarian way. And though 


we dare not grow complacent about our defense, we ijeed not 
fear the authoritarians, either.

The Mature Parent 


Youth's Long Dependence 
On Us Is Hard on Them, Too 


By MRS. MURIEL LAWRENCE 


Last Christmas vacation 
Beth 


came home from college in an odd 
mood. In her recent holiday be- 
tween semesters, her mood was 
even odder. 


She took down an illuminated text 


of The Lord's Prayer that had been 
a childhood gift—and hung a Picas- 
so print in its plar-c "It's too holy j 
for me. mummy," she said. "SU< k 
it in the guest room, will you0" 


She criticized her mother's table 


cloths as "cultural relics." She 
attacked her fathers politics until 
he exploded, roaring. "If I have to 
pay $2000 a year to have you 
taught to call me reactionary, I'll 
find another way to invest my 
money!" 


As the final shock, she announced 


that she had reversed her decision 
to become a kindergarten teacher 
and would become an archeologist. 
. 
Her parents felt suddenly old and 


tired. For a moment her mother 
contemplated the vision of Beth in 
a tropical topee pulling statues out 
of ruins, then rose from her chair. 
"I'm going to bed," she said weak- 
ly. "I can't cope any more." 


Dr. George E. Gardner of Bos- 


ton's Judge Baker Guidance Cen- 
ter has spoken helpful words for 
these occasions. 


"My best advice in the face of 


this behavior," he says, "is the 
tried and true phrase of the men 
«C UM ancient cburcb. When bead 


by the unpredictable and seeming 
ly uncontrollable, they comfortec 
themselves and each other with th 
words, "It^will pass, It will pass.' ' 


My personal feeling is that i 


will pass when Beth has begun tc 
earn her own living. 


In the meantime, it's hard on 


her paients. To maintain a mutual 
ly self-respecting relationship with 
the grown child whom they finan 
dally support is not easy. As thei 
situation is duplicated for thou 
sands of other American parents 
perhaps it's time that its prob 
lems were brought out into the 
open. 


What's happening is that indus 


try and the professions are de 
mandmg more and more prolongec 
and specialized study from our 
young people. 


At ages when their grandparents 


were self-supporting parents and 
masters of their own homes, our 
young people are still in university 
classrooms. It's emotionally trying 
for them and for us. So long as 
their bills are paid by our energy 
their rejection of our values is no' 
easy to accept. 


The prolonged dependence con 


tains hurt for them, to. Much o:

Surgery Is Making Strides 
In Treating Varicose Veins 


Bv EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. 


It's Handy 


NORFOLK. Va. W— The Jack of 


All Trades of the navy is the Con- 
ecuh, once a combination raider 
and replenishment ship of Nazi 
Germany. 


Under United States jurisdiction 


it has been converted to do the 
combined work of a fleet oiler, 
ammunition ship, provision ship 
and stores-issue ship—all while 
under way. It is classed as the 
fastest ship (20 knots) among serv- 
ice fleet auxiliaries. 


By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. 
Mrs. S. and several others of 


the hundreds of thousands or per- 
haps millions of sufferers from 
varicose veins have written me 
asking for a discussion of this sub- 
ject or of the ulcers resulting from 
them. It is an important problem 
indeed since so many suffer either 
from serious difficulties or at least 
in their appearance. 


Although varicose veins and 


varicose ulcers are primarily dis- 
eases of the middle and later 
years of life, • younger people are 
also sometimes troubled with these 
conditions. Occasionally they even 
seem to be a family ailment. 


r

Standing too much, overweight, 


childbirth, 
chronic 
constipation, 


the wearing of tight bands around 
the legs or hips, all apparently 
contribute to the development of 
varicose veins. Hence, as in so 
many disorders of mankind, an 
ounce of prevention is worth a 
pound of cure. 


The veins near the surface of 


the body all have folds or valves 
which prevent the blood from flow- 
ing the wrong way. The pressure 
on the valves in the veins of the 
legs Is especially great and they 
are often broken. When this hap- 
pens the necessary support is less- 
ened and the vein becomes swol- 
len. It is these swollen blood ves- 
sels which are called varicose 
! veins. Swollen veins are unsightly, 
and women especially dread them 
for ifcis reason almost as much as 
because of the complications which 
they may produce. 
* • * 


People who have varicose veins 


are more likely to have swollen 
feet or ankles than those with 
normal veins. Also the poor cir- 
culation brought about by varicose 
vein*? can produce uclers. 
Such 


ulcers sometimes become enorm- 
ous and cause open sores. 


Several ways of treating van* 


cose veins and ulcers have had 
much success. The use of elastic 
bandages which support the widen- 
ed and enlarged varicose veins is. 
of course, an old remedy and 
helpful in many cases.

Varicose veins are often tied or 


I removed by surgery. Injections for 


j varicose veins have been used for 
| many years. Injections act by clos- 
ing the opening of the^ varicose 
vein entirely so that the blood 
must now through some other 
vein which is normal or lies deep- 
er in the tissue. At present, sur- 
gery seems to be becoming more 
popular as a treatment and in- 
jections less so. 


The treatment of ulcers is still 


difficult, though several methods 
are fairly successful. It in best to 
try to prevent serious swellings 
or ulcers by taking proper care of 
the varicose veins when they first 
appear.

A Saturday Night Historical Notebook 


Happy Birthday to Amboy... A Boom Town... Church Builders... A Town Named Bath 


By ROGER THOMPSON 
Telegraph Staff Writer 


In lieu of a large cake with 100 candles, we hereby 


extend our congratulations to Amboy and its residents 
on that community's 100th anniversary. 


It was 100 years ago today, March 27, 1854, that 


the town was surveyed, laid out and recognized as a com- 
munity. As Amboy, making plans for 
a centennial observance later this year, 
begins its second century, we'll go back 
to look into some df the town's "firsts." 


* 
* 
* 
* 


After the town was laid out, the first 


homes built were those of L. W. Bor- 
den, 
E. S. Reynolds and Dr. David 


Bainter. 


Amboy quickly became a boom town 


due to the Illinois Central railroad. In 
1855 large company shops were built, 
Ronr 


and by the spring of 1856 the population of Amboy was an 
estimated 1,000 persons. 
On July 31 the same year the 


Lee County Times reported (perhaps cver-enthusiastical- 
ly) "We have now between 2,000 and 3,000 inhabitants." 


The papers also said the town boasted two churches, 


about thirty stores, a steam planing mill, three hotels, 
twb livery stables and a host of other establishments. 


The first merchant was R. D. Peironett, and the sec- 


ond was Samuel Goldman. Josiah Little was third in 
1854 with a drug, hardware and grocery business. Wilcox 
& Wooster built a store the same year. The lumber was 
hauled from Mendota and the stone from Lee Center. 
G. H. Ambrose and Francis Little started the first bank 
in 1855. The railroad shops in their busiest time provided 
employment for 400 men. 


The first Amboy school was a two-story brick 


building erected in 1857, the name year the com* 
munity dropped the title of village and incor- 
porated fc» a city. 
The earliest religious group, designating itself "Church 


of Jesus Christ" was organized in Amboy, June 27, 185*. 
Catholics held their first meetings in the home of Michael 
Egan in 1854. A church was begun in 1857, but destroyed 
by fire before its completion. It was rebuilt and finished 
in 1859. 


Baptists held an organizational meeting March 24, 


1855. 
Their church was dedicated Sept. 13, 1857. The 


Methodists also built their first church in 1857, and had 
a Rev. Thayer for the first pastor. 


A Congregational church was organized June 17, ISM. 


The first regular minister was David We'rt. 
Its first 


church building was dedicated April 1, 1858. 


The Episcopal church was organized in the spring of 


1859. 
A Mr. Brodnax was the first rector. 


The Free Methodist Society was formed about 1*4, 


and its first regular pastor was a Rev. Miller. The so- 
ciety later merged with mud was replaced by the United 


The First Evangelical Lutheran church was organ- 
of the Illinois Central, was the first mayor of Amboy, 


ized by the Rev. William Angelberger of Franklin Grove 
rose to the rank of general in the Civil War and was 


on Jan. 30, 1870. 
killed in the service of his country. 


Amboy once was the home of an unusual court. 


A. C. Bardwell recounted its story in his history of Lee 
county. 


"Amboy once po<we*sed a court, the like ef 


which was nowhere else to be found in the county. 
Alonzo Kinyon, one of the ambitious men of the 
period, was a member of the Legislature in ISM, 
and procured the pawage of an act, approved, 
March llth of that year, establishing 'The Court 
of Common Pleas of the City of Amboy.' It was 
an effort to duplicate the Circuit Court. 
The 


judge and, clerk were to be elected and receive the 
game salaries as the Judge and Clerk of the Cir- 
cuit Court. 
The city marshal was given the 


power* of a sheriff, and the court wa» empowered 
to appoint a Master in Chancery. 
The act, as 


approved, gave the court chancery Jurisdiction, 
but another act was approved the same day tak- 
ing away thta power. Mr. Kinyon'* plan was car-

It is interesting to look at the list of famous names 


which in both large and small degrees were associated 
with early Amboy history. 


Abraham Lincoln—On his way to Freeport to debate 


with Stephen Douglas during the 1158 campaign for the 
Senate. Lincoln spoke in Amboy the previous day. 


U. 8. Grant—Who was to become the great com* 


mander for the Union 'in the Civil War and later Presi- 
dent. He visited Amboy frequently to buy hides for his 
Galena tannery. 


George B. Mcdellan—The man who later was to com* 


mand the Army of the Potomac in the Civil War. He was 
a civil engineer for the Illinois Central, and had head* 
quarters in Amboy during the building of the railroad. 


Carson, Plrie and Seen—The pioneer merchants who 


formed their first partnership in Amboy, and went on to 
build a great merchandising empire. 


Owen Lovejey—Brother of the abolitionist martyr. 


Elijah Lovejoy. crusading journalist of Alton. Owen wai 
a prominent abolitionist in his own right and served in 
the U. 8. House of Representatives. 


Augustus N. Dickens—Brother of famed novelist, 


Charles Dickens. Augustus was editor of the first Amboy 
newspaper, The Lee County Times. 
' 


Kebert G. lageraelV-The gnat agnostic, as a youth, 


worked In Amboy. His father was a Congregational min- 
ister serving the Lee Center area. 


M A 


We all think of the community as "Amboy," but it 


narrowly missed having a different name. 


An early report aays when the residents of the 


area got together to name the place, they chose 
"Bath." However, Lorenzo Wasson, who went to 
Dixon to report the name to the county commis- 
sioners, took It upon himself to change the name 
to "Amboy."

No footsteps break his quiet sleep- 


He rests alone— 


No parents come o'er his grave to weep 


No friend to mourn.

The violet at his feet; 


And all around the flowers shed 


Their perfume pure and sweet.

Insecticides Control

* 


Summer Insect Pests 


By JUNE PILGRIM 


So many folks have asked the question of what to do with those 


pesky boxelder bugs. H. B. Petty sent me some answers recently. He 
is assistant professor of entomology with our extension service. 


Control, he says, begins by eliminating all seed-bearing boxelder 


trees. The bugs feed on boxelder seeds. They do 
not feed on food or cloth. Insecticides are the best 
practical control, and one should thoroughly spray 
the trunks and the ground around the seed-bearing 
boxelder trees. This is best done in late summer 
and early fall. Sides of a house might also be 
sprayed where the bugs cluster. 


Lindane of a ,5% spray will give a quick kill. 


One-half pint of 20% lindane concentrate in ZYa gal- 
lons of water will make a .6% lindane spray. 


Another material, dieldrin, used at .25% will also 


give good control. Make it by mixing ȣ pint of 20% 
June Pilgrim 


concentrate of dieldrin in 2 gallons of water. These materials should 
be applied to the sides of the house and foundation and a three-foot 
strip along the house where bugs are clustering. Applications may have 
to be repeated at one to two-week intervals. 


Lenten Meals 


Why not try some rolled stuffed 


fish fillets for those Lenten meals? 
Frozen fish fillets are easily se- 
cured these days. Prepare a herb 
butter by creaming \'3 cup butter 
with 3 tablespoons minced parsley, 
2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 tea- 
spoon grated lemon rind, *fc tea- 
spoon salt and a few dashes of 
pepper. 


Separate and cut a package of 


fillets to serving size portions. 
Place a tablespoonful of herb mix- 
ture on each fillet and spread. Roll 
the meat up like a jelly roll and 
fasten with toothpick. 


Place rolls in a well-greased 


baking dish. Dot the top of each 
fillet with remaining butter mix- 
ture. Bake in a 350 degree oven 
for 25 minutes. Remove the tooth- 
picks, garnish with lemon wedges 
and serve plain or with a tomato 
sauce. 


Use of Wax 


Some places where homemakers 


might consider the use of wax— 
which will make her future jobs 
easier (use paste type wax): 


1. Waxing rods in the clothes 


closet while you have put clothes 
out to air. Hangers will move more 
easily. 


2. Wax traverse rods—makes 


draperies easier to pull back and 
forth and they are less likely to 
stick. 


3. Wax the bottoms of tables and 


chair legs; they will move more 
easily and cause less marking on 
hard floorings. 


4. Wax ash trays. Ashes don't 


stick so badly to them. 


5. Wax the wastebasket (metal) 


so dust and dirt won't stick and 
collect on it. 


6. Waxing the telephone will 


keep it from collecting 
finger- 


prints. 


7. Wax painted or oilcloth cover- 


ed shelves in your cupboards. They 
will be easier to clean and dishes 
won't stick. 


8. Wax a wire clothes line and it 


will be protected against corrosion 
and be easier to wipe clean for 
each use. 


9. Wax window sills for extra 


protection from blown in moisture, 
dirt and soot that collects, particu- 
larly in an urban area. 


Use Pastry Canvas 


Piecrust and other soft doughs 


will be easy to handle with no 
sticking if you use a pastry canvas 
and a knit cover for your rolling 
pin. The trick is to rub the canvas 
and rolling pin cover full of flour 
and keep them that way while you 
are using them. 


With care, you will be abl* to 


use your canvas several times 
without washing. Scrape bits of 
dough and as much flour from the 
canvas as you can so that they 
won't becomt rancid. Then store 
the canvas in a plastic bag or 
wrapped in a clean dish towel. 


When you wash the canvas, 


brush it first, and then soak it in 
cold water. Wash it gently with a 
small brush and lots of hot' suds. 
After washing on both tides, i rinse

Autos Collide 
Near Ashton 


ASHTON — (Special) — A two- 


car 
collision 
Friday 
afternoon 


caused an estimated $400 damages 
about 1'i miles north of Ashton. 


Drivers of the autos were Wesley 


Krug, Ashton. and Arthur Camp- 
bell, Logan, Utah. There were no 
injuries. 


State police reported damages to 


each car were about $200. 


Obituaries 


MRS. MINNIE E. MALL 


ASHTON —(Special)— Funeral 


•ervices for Mrs. Minnie E. Mall, 
79, Ashton, will be held Monday at 
2 p.m. in Evangelical church here 
with the Rev. Romaine Tenney of- 
ficiating. Burial will be in Ashton 
cemetery. , 


Mrs. Mall died unexpectedly in 


her home Friday. 


She was born in Bradford town- 


ship, Lee county, March 18, 1875, 
the daughter of Conrad and Mar- 
tha Rice Krug. She married John 
C. Mass March 8, 1895, in Brad- 
ford township. 


She is survived by two daugh- 


ters, Mrs. Irma Erbes and Mrs. 
Alice Burhenn, both of Franklin 
Grove; 
six grandchildren; 
ten 


great-grandchildren, and a sister, 
Mrs. Martha Mall, Ashton. 


Her husband and a daughter pre- 


ceded her in death. 


Mrs. Mall had lived in Ashton 14 


years. She was a member of Evan- 
gelical church.

envoy be declared persona non 
grata— not welcome in Italy. 


A group of Communist, left-wing 


Socialist and pro-Red independent 
senators made the request in a 
written interpolation for the Senate 
record 
Friday. The government 


must answer the interpolation, but 
it does not call for a vote. 


Heading the list of signers was 


Communist Sen. Ottavio Pastore, 
editor of the official Italian Com- 
munist party newspaper L'Unita, 
which has carried on a vitriolic 
editorial war against Mrs. Luce. 


The interpolation inquiries of the 


government "if they intend, as is 
necessary, to communicate to the 
government of the United States 
that Ambassador Luce no longer 
is persona grata because of her 
intervention in the internal affairs 
of our country ..." 


Declaring an envoy persona non 


grata automatically forces the gov- 
ernment of the country he repre- 
sents to recall him. 


The senators did not explain 


what they considered Mrs. Luce's 
"intervention." 
But 
Communist 


newspapers in the past few days 
have claimed it was Mrs. Luce's 
work that brought a recent an- 
nouncement by Premier 
Mario 


Scelba that his government will 
crack down on the Communists un- 
der new, tougher policies. 


Scelba can be expected to reject 


in the bluntest terms the leftist re- 
quest to get rid of Ambassador 
Luce.

GI Slayer 
Sentenced 
To Death 


TOKYO (ft— A Pennsylvania ser- 


geant who confessed he got "com- 
plete sexual satisfaction" out of 
strangling to death a pretty little 
American .girl was convicted to- 
day of premeditated murder and 
sentenced to die. 


M/Sgt. Maurice L. Schick, 29, 


World War II Purple Heart veter- 
an from Cannonsburg, Pa., stood 
stiff and erect, his face impassive, 
as he heard the verdict and sen- 
tence of a court-martial panel of 
three generals and four colonels. 


His Army-appointed defense aP 


torneys based their entire case on 
the contention Schick was insane 
when he strangled chubby, auburn 
haired Susan Rothschild, 9-year- 
old daughter of an American Army 
colonel, at the huge Army housing 
area south of here last Nov. 21. 


Supporting their contention that 


Schick was insane, the defense put 
two Japanese civilian psychiatrists 
on the 
stand. 
Both 
diagnosed 


Schick as schizophrenic. 


Schick's conviction and sentence 


is subject to three automatic re- 
views 
— by the commanding 


general here, the Military Board 
of Review in Washington, and the 
U. S. Court of Military Appeals, 
composed of three U. S. civilian 
judges. Before he can be executed, 
his case also must be reviewed by 
President Eisenhower, who can 
commute the sentence or reverse 
the court-martial.

French Plead 
For Time to 
Move Wounded 


HANOI, Indochina Cf) — The 


French today stepped up radio 
pleas for a brief cease fire to per- 
mit planes to move their wounded 
from Dien Bien Phu. 


But the Vietminh continued their 


constant bombardment of the be- 
sieged northwest Indochina for- 
tress. 


The French high command for- 


mally accused the Communist led 
rebels of flagrantly ignoring red 
crosses m a r k e d on transport 
planes flying mercy missions. 


French Commander 
in Chief 


Gen. Henri Navarre appealed per- 
sonally in a broadcast to Vietminh 
Commander Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap 
and gave assurances the red cross 
marked planes would be used only 
for carrying out wounded. 


The French kept up air attacks 


today on the Vietminh positions 
ringing Dien Bien Phu, and ground 
patrols thrust warily at the attack- 
ers. 
The Vietminh, meanwhile, 


brought in more fighting power 
and continued to dig an intricate 
trench system around Dien Bien 
Phu's barbed wire barricades. 


The French claimed to have de- 


stroyed a long string- of foxholes— 
some within 200 yards of the barb- 
ed wire barricades defending the 
fortress—arid killed 42 Vietminh 
soldiers.

Truman Snipes 
At McCarthy's 
Investigations 


KANSAS CITY IB—Former Pres- 


ident Harry S. Truman said Fri- 
day he had heard that some "fool 
Americans" had been accused of 
spying in Siberia. He suggested 
in an obvious reference to Sen. 
McCarthy 
(R-Wis), 
that 
"that 


great investigator be permitted to 
go to work for Malenkov and find 
out what they were doing there." 


"He wouldn't be bothered by the 


Russians because they wouldn't ob- 
ject to his methods," Truman told 
400 visiting chemists. 


The former President addressed 


a luncheon session of the Ameri 
can Chemical Society's division of 
chemical marketing and 
econo- 


mics. The society is holding its 
125th meeting here. 


Truman went on to say he had 


heard that Dr. Linus Pauling of 
the California Institute of Tech- 
nology had been "charged 
with 


investigating red corpuscles." 


Pauling, a former president of 


the chemical society, was named 
by the House Un-American Activi- 
ties Committee three years ago 
as being active in what it termed 
a Communist "wide-world peace 
offensive." 


Pauling denied that he had ever 


been a Communist. Truman said 
the chemist had to go before a 
committee and explain what red 
corpuscles are, adding: 


"I suggest professor Pauling con- 


fine his investigations to white cor- 
puscles."

f five witnesses? 
"Is it true that one of the in- 
estigators has been working in

ig the hard-pressed Mr. Velde in

Named Defendants 
Ill Dram Act Suit 


MORRISON — (Special) — The 


operators of three Whlteride coun- 
ty taverns were named as defend- 
ants in a $540,900 dram shop suit 
filed Friday in circuit court here. 


The suit was filed by Ruth 


Mickley, Prophetstown, for herself 
and her five children, all minors. 


The defendants are Ralph Teach 


of the Pico club, Tamplco; Arth 
and Marjorie Egert and Charles 
Schryyer of Seeley's tavern, Lyn- 
don, and Harley and Charles Ro- 
man of Roman's tavern, Prophets- 
town. 


Mrs. Mickley and her children 


each ask $13,000 from each of the 
defendants. 


The suit charges that Mickley, 


husband and father of the plain- 
tiffs, was a passenger in car driven 
by John Poulter, Prophetstown, on 
March 1, 1953. It says the Foulter 
car collided with another on Rt. 30 
near Rock Falls. 


Poulter suffered a fractured back 


and is partially paralyzed, accord- 
ing to the suit. The complaint says 
Poulter obtained liquor in the tav- 
erns operated by the defendants 
prior to the accident.

Cubs Destined for Better Things This Year 


To Gamble 
On Rookies 
This Season 


Club Stronger as 
It Starts Journey 
Home; Kiner Ready 


10 Mesa, Ariz.—UP)~The Chi- 
cago Cubs have 
departed 


from this little Arizona town 
and the general feeling is that 
they are destined for better 
things this year in the Na- 
tional league. 


Matters couldn't have been murti 


.worse, what with the Cubs engaged 
..in a duel with Pittsburgh for the 


bottom rung last year and the 
Pirates finally nosing; them out tor 


-• th> unenvied honor. 


Things didn't look much brighter 


' when Manager 
Phil Cavarretta 


' brought his athletes into camp 
"' several weeks ago. The personnel 


looked about the same, and there 
was no delirious degree of en- 
thusiasm. 


Few Lectures 


In time. Cavarretta, a patient 


soul, finally delivered a few lec- 
tures. A brand new doubleplay 
combination began 
to 
function. 


Homer un hitter Ralph Kiner began 
to pound the ball a lot earlier than 
he generally does and some of the 
oldsters realize they had to snap 
to and play ball 


The results are still U> be deter- 


mined, but at least the Cubs have 
shaken loose from proven medio- 
crity and are gambling on new. if 
untested, players. 


Defense down the middle, which 


was a major concern, may have 


• been corrected. At least that is the 
hope in elevating two comparative 
l-ookies, Ernie Banks at shortstop 
'' and Gene Baker at second, to first 


team status, and inserting another 
rookie, Bobby Talbot, into center 
field. 


' 
All Impressive 


Banks, 22, purchased from the 


"Kansas City Monarchs: Baker, 28. 
"and Talbot, 26, from 
the Los 


Angeles Angels, played 10 or fewer 
"games with the Cubs last fall. This 
•pring. all have been impressive. 


Broken up in the combination of 


Shortstop Rov Smaller and second 
baseman Eddie Miksis. Smalley 
was traded for pitcher Dave Cole, 
plus cash, to Milwaukee. Miksis 
Is still with the Cubs, and can fill 
' lii if Banks or Baker falters. 


And what becomes of Frankle

Senators Look Good Since 
Pitchers Rounded to Form 


By BEN OLAN 


Associated Press Sports Writer 


It was only a week ago that Manager Bucky Harris of the Wash- 


ington Senators said, "we won't look good until our pitchers round 
into form." 


That not-too-startling prediction 


looked mighty good today as the 
Senators 
found 
themselves the 


proud possessors of a five-game 
winning streak, due largely to the 
improved efforts of their mound 
corps. 


The Senators have come a long 


way since they opened their exhi- 
bition schedule with nine straight 
setbacks. And now that their pitch- 
ers are clicking, they look more 
and more like a club that will 
give the other American League 
teams a lot of trouble this season. 


Friday, 
righthanders F r a n k 


Shea and Sonny Dixon limited the 
Boston Red Sox to seven hits as 
Washington pounded out a convinc- 
ing 10-1 victory. 


The New York Yankees, seem- 


ingly getting ready in earnest for 
coming American League pennant 
race, defeated the Brooklyn Dodg

Season Opens 
Here May 1 


SPRINGFIELD. 111. — Illinois' 


1954 
fish spearing season opens 


April 1 in the central zone and 
May 1 in the northern zone. The 
season began March 15 in the 
southern zone. It will continue 
through September 1 in all zones. 


Spearing is legal from sunrise to 


sunset daily throughout the season. 


The 1954 season dates are an 


extension over last year's spearing 
season when the season lasted only 
15 days. Director Glen D. Palmer 
of the state department of conser- 
vation explained. The extension 
was made possible through revi- 
sion by th* 68th general assembly 
of the Illinois fish cpde, he said. 


No game fish may be taken by 


spear. Species which may be taken 
are carp, buffalo, suckers, gar and 
dogfish. 


Devices which may be legally 


used are spear, pitchfork, gig and 
bow and arrow. License required 
for fish spearing is the regular 
hook and line license.

NBA Semi-Finalists 


By The Associated Press 


The four teams participating in 


the semifinals of the NBA playoffs 
swing back into action today in 
"must" games for the Boston Cel- 
tics and Rochester Royals. 


The Celts appear to have the 


tougher assignment. They have to 
face a red hot Syracuse team, 
which has yet to lose a 1954 play- 
off game. The Nationals have won 
five straight since the regular sea- 
son ended, one of them a 109-94 
rout of Boston Thursday. 


Rochester, v i c t i m of an 89-7* 


trouncing by Minneapolis in the 
first game of the best-of-three 
semifinals, also must win today or 
face elimination. 


Both of today's games are after-

New NCAA Mark 
In Syracuse Pool 


SYRACUSE, N. Y. (£>-Odds.on 


Ohio State, despite a loss of Ford 
Konno to Michigan's record-break- 
ing Jack Wardrop. had a cozy lead 
today in the NCAA swimming 
championships. 


And the Buckeyes were loaded 


for bear in the closing event in 
the Syracuse University pool with 
three record holders and a classy 
diving team on the roster. 


Konno won the 1500-meter free- 


style in the opening competition 
Thursday, setting a new NCAA 
mark. But Wardrop edged him 
out in the 220 freestyle Friday 
night with a clocking of 2:05 to 
Konno's 2:05.3. 


New Record 


Wardrop's time set new intercoi 


legiate and NCAA records and bet- 
tered the listed world mark of 
2:05.2, but Konno clacked that one 
last month with 2:04.7. 


Ohio State collected 13 points 


Friday night in low board diving 
won by its Fletcher Gilders with 
441.10 points. Ohio State has 49 
points to Michigan's 36. Defending 
champion Yale has 19. 


Yoshi Oyakawa, who kept his 


NCAA 200-yard backstroke title by 
edging Larry Heim of Stanford m 
2:09.8, goes in the dorsal 100-yard 
today. He holds the listed world 
and NCAA records and has staked 
claim to a new world time and 
the American mark. 


Final* Tonight 


Dick Cleveland captured the 50- 


yard 
free-style 
from defending 


champion Don Hill of Michigan in 
0:22.3 and today, Cleveland goes 
in the 100-yard freestyle. 


He holds the world, American 


and Intercollegiate records in that 
event.

100-yard breastroke. 150-yard in 
dividual medley and the 300-yard 
medley relay. Time trials are

finals at night. 
Big Question: 
Was Gavilan 
Using Evil Eye 


CHICAGO W>— Boxing insiders 


were wondering today if Kid Gavi- 
lan tried to put the old evil eye 
on Bobo Olson at an official cere- 
money Friday in the Illinois Ath- 
letic Commission office. 


Gavilan, the welterweight champ 


and Olson got a physical going 
over and instructions on Illinois 
boving rules. They also posed for 
pictures together in fighting togs. 


These were part of the formali- 


ties leading to their 15-round match 
in Chicago Stadium next Friday in 
which Olson's middleweight title is 
at stake. 


Eyes Staring 


All the time they were in the 


office, the Kid kept his eyes star- 
ing into Olson's. It seemed a take- 
off on the old fisheye. Whatever it 
was it apparently embarrassed Ol- 
son, who shifted his gaze several 
times, grinned, and once tapped 
Gavilan playfully in the stomach. 


Was this some sort of Cuban 


hex the Kid was trying on Olson? 


"Maybe," he grinned afterward. 


"What you think?" 


Several hours after the incident, 


Gavilan 
assured- reporters he 


wasn't interested In working any 
sort of "Cuban voodoo" on Olson. 


Look Harder 


"He gave me a dirty look," said 


the Kid. "I give him a dirty look 
back. 


"My dirty look harder than his. 


Just like these. He raised his 
fists." 


Anyway, the dirty looks had no 


immediate effect on either fighter. 
Both were pronounced in excellent 
physical condition for the fight,

RECOGNIZE THE MAN in the high collar? Most of you probably 


won't, unless you were paying attention to the schools back around 
1899 and 1900. 


The man Is William G. TurnbuU, teacher in Latin and alge- 


bra, but more important to this column, he was the first high 
school coach at the Dixon high school. He handled football 
and track. 


HE CAME TO DIXON IX 1899 


from Monmouth and after one or 
two years, he went on to the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania at Phila- 
delphia to medical school. 
He 


later became a physician and took 
up practice in Philadelphia. 


Along with being a coach and 


teacher. 
Professor 
TurnbuU 


was a charter member of the 
first bowline alleys established 
in Dixon, the A. U. Thomas al- 
leys erected in 1900 on First 
street.

JIOJC.E 
GEORGE C. DIXON 


supplied us with the picture and 
the information on Prof. Turnbull 
and while looking through the old 
files to see if we couldn't find ad- 
ditional information, we learned 
that the judge was the cause of 
the suspension of football for one season. 


In 1903, it was decided to disband football when Judge Dixon 


was seriously Injured In a same with Rochelle. "That's some- 
thing I'd like very much to forget," the judge said. He was para- 
lyzed for many month* because of a broken back'. 


* 
* 
* 


THOSE YEARS, 1899-1902. were filled with many interesting thing* 


concerning Dixon football. In 1900, Dixon College set a world record 
which may still be standing as far as we know. 


The college team whipped DeKalb, 153-0. And that's not 


all. The game was railed in the second half before the score 
got too high. Also, touchdowns were only good for five points 
In stead of nit as today. Field goals were one point. Dlxoa 
made 27 touchdowns and 17 field goals. 
THE COLLEGE EVIDENTLY HAD A GREAT YEAR in 1900. They 


went to Chicago to play the University of Chicago and had the honor 
of scoring the first touchdown against the great team coached by the 
famed Amos Alonzo Stagg. Dixon lost, 23-5, but Stagg complimented 
the team as a great one.

Now back to 1954: 
AL MUSSELMAN AND LYLE SMITH, only senior members of the 


Rochelle basketball squad this year, were honored at a basketball ban- 
quet given for the Hubs recently. Musselman was awarded the Hall 
free throw award and Smith was presented the Hacker trophy for 
all-around excellence in athletics. Ron Hill was elected captain for the 
1954-55 season.

THE MORRIS DAILY HERALD sports writers continue to Insist 


that Ottawa Coach Gil Love will not be back with the Pirates next 
season. 
' 


They discount the fart that Love has bought a home In Ot- 


tawa by pointing out that a home ran be bonght and sold with- 
out much trouble. 
IT IS FURTHER CLAIMED that Love has received offers to move 


up to the college ranks in recent weeks. The Bullpen Gossip column 
goes on to point out that denials do not mean rejection as seen in the 
case of Forest (Forddy) Anderson leaving Bradley and going to Michi- 
gan State. Only three days before Anderson left, the column said, de- 
nials were plastered all over Peoria papers. 


As for UK. we'll just sit back and wait and see.

Depends on Rest of League 


ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (B-Do you think the New York Yankee* 


can make it six pennants in a row? Manager Casey Stengel was asked. 


"If the league is improved, we'll 


have a very hard time winning it 
again." he replied. "M it hasn't 
improved, we'll have a very hard 
time not winning it." 


Stengel conceded that he has a 


lot of problems this year, "maybe 
more than in any other year since 
I've been manager." 


"First, we have to make up 


those 13 games we lost by sale of 
Vic Raschi. Second, we've got to 
build up a strong bench. Retire- 
ment of Johnny Mice and the re- 
call of Billy Martin to the army is 
bound to hurt. 


"My third problem is Mickey 


Mantle. Re's been taking it easy 
after his knee operation. How do 
I know if he'll be ready to open 
the season?" 


Stengel tees the Cleveland In- 


dians and Chicago White Sox as 
hl« chief threat*. He likes the 
Washington Senators to head the 


dtv*sa, follow* fej Ds» 


troit, Baltimore and Philadelphia. 


Stengel said his big five on the 


mound this season will be Alii* 
Reynolds. Harry Byrd, Ed Lopat, 
Eddie Ford and Jim McDonald. 
Adding to the strength, in addition 
to Bob Kuzava and Tom Morgan, 
is Johnny Sain who said he 
going to retire but changed hia 
mind. 


With the exception of Jerry CM* 


man at second, the infield will b* 
the same: Joe Collins at first, PhU 
Rizzuto at short and Oil Me* 
Dbugald at third. Reserves Include 
Andy Carey, Willie Miranda, Cddte 
Robinson and Frank Lega, it-year* 
old bonus baby: 


Yogi Berra, the league's Mo. t 


receiver, is backed op by Chart!* 
Siivera. 


Even with Mantle hobbled. Casey 


insists he has the best 
baseball with Hank Bi 
Woodllng and Inr Nona

Army Lists No 
Moors But He's 
Drafted Anyway 


^ William Ar- 
BALTIMORE 


thur Wellington Bey, a "Moorish 
American," reluctantly submitted 
to army induction here Friday de- 
spite his listing as a Negro and 
even though the Moorish flag won't 
by flying next to the Stars and 
Stripes. 


The 21-year-old Wellington Bey 


didn't have much choice. 


He refused Induction last Mon- 


day after a sergeant listed him as 
a member of the negroid race. He 
contended he was a Moorish Amer- 
ican and would step forward only 
when listed as such. 


That threw the military for a bit 


of a loss because the induction 
form lists five races and "Moorish 
American" is not one of them. 
' Wellington Bey was arrested by 
the FBI and taken before U. S. 
Commissioner Ernest Volkart. 


Wellington Bey informed the 


commissioner he was reluctant to 
serve in the army unless the 
Moorish flag were flown next to 
the American. 


Commissioner Volkart suggested 


Wellington Bey accept induction 
despite the race classification and 
wtihout his own flag and said if 
the Defense department changed 
its'- rules and regulations to satisfy 
Moorish. Americans, Wellington 
Bey could adjust accordingly. 


GOP Chairman Hall Says 
Sen. McCarthy Does Harm 


OMAHA (ft—Chairman 
Leonard 


W. Hall of the Republican national 
committee says Sen. McCarthy (R- 
Wis) "has done more harm than 
good" in his trade of verbal blows 
with top army officials. 


As a result, said Hall, McCar- 


thy's "senate effectiveness-has di- 
minished in the past few weeks." 


Hall's statement in an interview 


Friday night came as one of the 
strongest criticisms of the Wiscon- 
sin senator yet put out by a high 
GOP official. Several weeks ago 
Hall described McCarthy as an as- 
set to the party. 


McCarthy, chairman of the sen- 


ate investigations subcommittee, 
could not be reached for immedi- 
ate comment. 


"Dispute Hurts" 


Asked about the McCarthy-army 


exchanges, Hall said "the dispute 
has hurt. Any dispute hurts." 


His comment came just before 


he talked about campaign strategy 
at a banquet gathering?1 of the Mid- 
west and Rocky Mountain Republi- 
can State Chairmen's Assn. 


"There is one person who al- 


ways speaks for our party," Hall 
said in his dinner speech, "and 
that is Dwight D. Eisenhower. 
Don't let anybody tell you that be- 
cause of quarrels in Washington 
that there is no unity and no lead- 
ership." 


The GOP national chairman told 


an enthusiastic audience that the 
big campaign issues this year 
would be the economic health of 
the nation and the "never ending'' 
battle with communism. 


On the first count, Hall declared 


"the 
Eisenhower administration 


program, now moving through con- 
gress, is designed to keep us sound 
economically by building more in- 
dustry, more jobs and a healthy 
agriculture." 


Truly American 


On the second, he said: 
"We have at long last developed 


a truly American foreign policy 
which meets the overseas Commu- 
nist threat head-on and lays' the 
responsibility where it belongs—in 
the laps of the Russians. Mean- 
while at home we have both the

willingness and the know-how for 
dealing with Communist inspired 
subversions." 


All the Republicans have to do 


to win in 1954. Hall said, is "do 
what we did in 1952—get out the 
vote." 
Radioactive 
Dust Found 
In Chicago 


CHICAGO I.?)—Radioactive dust, 


still completely harmless, drifted 
down on the Midwest after dust 
storms last week in the western 
plains, a scientist reported Fri- 
day. 


Radioactivity three times normal 


expectations was found in samples 
collected on Chicago's South Side 
by a team from the Armour Re- 
search Foundation of the Illinois 
Institute of Technology. 


Edward G. Fochtman, leader of 


the project, said the amount of 
radioactivity in a two square foot 
sample of dust at the period of 
highest 
concentration still was 


only one ten-thousandth of that 
given off from a wristwatch with 
luminous hands. 


Fochtman said scientists on the 


project, sponsored by the Midwest- 
ern Air Pollution Prevention Assn., 
"drew 
no conclusion" On the 


source of the radioactivity. He 
said radioactive particles from the 
United State's March 1 hydrogen 
explosion in the Pacific could con- 
taminate the dust. He added, how- 
ever, that this contamination would 
have been expected to reach the 
Midwest between March 8 and 11. 


Fochtman's dust project was not 


started until March 15. He said 
the high radioactivity appeared 
for a few hours on March 19 and 
then dropped off sharply in the 
dust samples that settled later.

Phone Network 
To Carry Voice 
Of Billy Graham 


LONDON — American Evange- 


list Billy Graham 
will 
begin 


preaching over a network of 20 
British telephone lines next week 
because Harringay Arena cannot 
accommodate the crowds which 
wish to hear him. 


Graham is conducting his revival 


meetings nightly at the arena, but 
only 12,600 persons can sit in the 
great hall, which usually is the site 
of sporting events. 


Many persons have been turned 


away nightly from Harringay. To 
enable them to hear him, telephon- 
ic connections with many British 
cities are being arranged so that 
local clergymen can switch on 
Graham's sermons from Harringay 
for audiences in local halls. 


At the end of his fourth weej^ of 


his "Crusade in Greater London" 
Graham has spoken to almost 400,- 
000 persons. 


If interest continues the attend- 


ance figure at the end of the three 
months campaign will exceed a 
million.

CHICAGO—<^P)—Sixteen-year-old Arlene Goerner 


was taking a driving lesson Friday. She told police she 
swerved to avoid hitting a dog and smashed her car into 
the back of a station wagon. 


The station wagon plowed into some garbage cans 


and the cans hurtled against a wooden stairway of an 
apartment house. The stairway came tumbling down. 


Arthur Mankin, 33, eating his breakfast in his 


apartment on the second floor, came out the door to in- 
vestigate. His wife saw him suddenly disappear from 
view. 


Walking to a window, she saw him lying on the 


ground 20 feet below. He was taken to a hospital with 
a dislocated shoulder and cuts. 


It was Mankin's station wagon Miss Goerner had 


smashed. Police cited her for negligent driving and 
driving without a license.
