HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
HOME, SWEET HOME.

The home, be it ever so humble, is
the one sweet spot to which all eyes
are longingly turned, and from which
all happiness radates.
The proud boast OF the old English
common law is that ga mans home is
his CASTLE" The four winds of heaven
might blow through its chinks and
crannies, but the king himself might
not cross its Threshold unbidden.
Only the laws stern necessity in pur-
suit of crime 'could authorize an un.
welcome ipstrusion.
The sanctity of former times still
scrupulously surrounds it, and the
sacredness of its portal has been but
enhanced by the advancement OF civ
ilization. The modern home needs
neither towers, battlements, nor bas-
tions to protect it from the assaults
of the powerful The humblest citizen
to defend his lowly shack can invoke
the protecting arm of the whole ma
ton.
The governments Of all the world
foster the love of home. Liberal laws
are enacted with this end in view.
The public domain is generously be-
slowed upon bonaide settlers. The
various states, without, we believe, a
single, exception, have exempted the
homes from seizure for even a just
debt In short. the protection and
sacredness of the home goes side by
side with that of the person. 1t is
the commendable desire of every
worthy citizen to be the owner of his
own home in fee simple, and to en-
courage this desire have all these
beneficent laws been enacted.

TRUSTEE ORDERS
SCHOOL PLANS
OF TWO KINDS
vZEEnGvOWi9E

Two sets of tentative plans for the
proposed new school building to be
erected in Fairview were ordered pre-
pared by the advisory board Of Wayne
township in session last night.
The architect was not selected.
One plan will be for new grade
school with four rooms and commun.
ity center hall The other plan will be
for combinational grade and voca-
tional high school building. The pc
titions and remonstrances concerning
lhs liapesed vocational high school
will be considered after the difference
in cost between a grade and combina-
tional school building has been care
fully noted. A grade school building
alone would probably cost $4,000 or
more. A second floor for a vocational
high school would raise the cost $4,000.
Trustee Edgerton said today that
the advisory board did not seem to
accept the proposition OF. the immed-
late erection of vocational high
school in Wayne township with much
favor.
'It is my opinion that the board
would never approve the plan suggest
ed by some of erecting a separate
building for vocational high school,
said the trustee.

CLUB ISSUES
APPEAL FOR
RELIEF FUND

The Commercial club has issued the
following call of voluntary subscrip-
tions to aid Newcastle:
As representatives of the CONNER
cial Club, Mr.. L. S. Bowman and Mr..
c. w. Jordan visited New Castle to
offer the assistance of the Club in any
way that they could to relieve the
distress visited upon them so sud
denly.
In conference with citizens and the
local committees, it was learned that
no supplies were needed as the local
community was able to care for those
requiring food and shelter, but be-
cause of the many homes destroyed,
some losing all of their possessions,
contributions of money would be ac-
ceptable to aid the stricken families
to get started again. A telegram re-
ceived this morning from Mr. Millikan
states that New Castle will appreci-
ate any cash that you can send"
The Committee urges upon the
members and citizens that this appeal
be promptly met with voluntary sub
scriptions of cash and that the same
be given through the Red Cross So
ciety as they are already receiving
contributions for this purpose and
thus avoid duplication. The Society
has its headquarters in the store room
at the corner of Ninth and North A
streets. You can send check by mail
to American Red Cross, Richmond,
Ind. Subscriptions should be made
promptly as the need is immediate
We trust our citizens will respond
freely.

Mayor Robbins today, following his
return from Newcastle where he in
spected the havoc wrought by the cy-
clone Sunday, expressed the belief
that the Rose City was in dire need
of assistance and urged that Rich
mond citizens raise a large relief
fund for the stricken neighboring city.
Reports of conditions in Newcastle
have not been exaggerated. On the
contrary the situation there has not
been fully described said Mayor Rob
bins. The little city has been dealt
a staggering blow and every Indiana
municipality should financially assist
in relieving the distress of Newcas-
ties storm victims.
"The Richmond Red Cross chapter
is in charge of the relief fund being
raised in Richmond and that organi-
zation is perfectly competent to con-
duct this work I hope every citizen
who can contribute to the relief fund
will get in touch with the Red Cross
officials"

those whose all have been swept away,
we, the committee appointed by Mayor

to you for funds. We ask all mayors
and commercial clubs to assist in rails
ing money. We ask that this money
be remitted as soon as possible to John
w. Rogers of Newcastle.

been generous, you will be generous
