one of the valleys through which immigration
travelled north from the Ohio river to conquer
the wilderness and to plant cities where once
stood an unbroken forest. From his valley have
come some of Indiana's great men-warriors,
statesmen, artists, scientists and educators.
Many of our own community have overlooked
the possibilities of this valley. We travel far
afield to ommune with nature, neglecting one
of the most beautiful stretches in Indiana.
Ki-Ro camp is located in a picturesque region.
But it is only one of the countless stretches in
which nature has made lavish use of her re-
sources to entice us from the noise and hustle
of the city to the quiet and serene scenes where
stream, hill and valley satisfy a love for beauty.
One need go only a few miles from Richmond
south along the Whitewater river or Clear Greek
to find ones self quickly transferred into the
open spaces where wild flowers bloom, hills are
covered with trees and underbrush, and an en-
vironment of tranquility supplants the noise and
hurry of the city's streets.
We need to acquaint ourselves more with the
beauties of our own county and of those adjoin-
ing us. Here we have a natural asset which many
of us ignore to our own loss-something for
which other communities would be willing to
spend many dollars.

Famous Hair Dresser to be Feted
Paris to Celebrate Nine Days in Honor of Inventor of
Marcel Wave.

sale trade of making men appear
civilized.
This was really a remarkable con-
clusion for Marcel to reach because
the women's hairdressing business
was slumping. There was nothing
startling, nothing very monumental
about couture styles and women stayed
at home and arranged their own flow
ing locks.
Yet the young French apprentice
who was to rescue the trade from its
precarious situation gazed into the
future and had visions of success as
a ladies' coiffeur, as he dreamily ran
the razor over a customers chin.
Eventually fate and his i~ron-jawed de-
termination led the young apprentice
into a Partisan hairdressing estab-
lishment.
Here, again, he followed out the
rules for greatness faithfully. His
first attempt at arranging a woman's
hair. when he was 10 years old, was 4
total failure. The effect was so crude
that the customer angrily took down
her hair and r~earranged it herself
Marcel was dismissed from the shop
forthwith. Yet, from this inausptcious
debut, or rather because of il, the
young apprentice rose to the heights
of his art.
1t would take too long to point out
how Marcel developed almost all the
points of the great American business
hero. 1t is sufficient to say thai he
is a noble example of the power o.
observation, perseverance, patience
initiative, diplomacy and modesty.

or rolled in papers and then squeezed
into kinks between the prongs of

Marcel tried to copy the rolling

iron. He had little success at first
but as he practised he worked out

using the irons came to him.

The enthusiasm which the boys of Richmond
are showing for the Ki-Ro camp, and the encour-
agement which their parents are giving them,
are Indicative of a widening desire on the part
of all of us to enjoy the open places and to
learn to know the beauties in this section of In
diana.
Many of the beauty spots of Indiana are
widely known through the publicity which they
have received in the last few years, but eastern
Indiana-the valleys, hills and streams south of
the National road to the Ohio river, have es-
capped the notice of the automobile tourist and
city dweller who is seeking natures handiwork
in his own state.

scenic attractions, but also in historic lore. 1t is

The invention of Marcel is a simple

his wave is supposed to resemble the
natural ripple in curly hair. It might
seem odd that with curling irons OF
various sorts in use no one had imi-

In reality the wave is more subtle
than il appears. Marcel spent sew

ing before he was able to produce a
wave that was thoroughly satisfactory

~hairdresser probably would have

waves looked worse than no waves

gifted with a sense of loyalty, more true to his trusts, o more en-
thusiastic in his work.
AS a boy, Bruno sold papers on the streets of Chicago and then
took his earnings home to his mother.
The distinguishing trait about the rise of this boy has been his de-
sire to rise-to be someone in the world Of affairs through conscien-
tous work.
Bruno thinks as he works. He is always looking ahead. He has
gotten all the ideas he could from those about him, and then he has
plussed these. As a consequence, he has a fund of ideas that have
been born of his own efforts and initiative.
Another thing about this Bruno whose honest tireless efforts have
not placed him among the comprehensive has a smile almost a mile
wide! Sometimes it makes you think Of an exceedingly rich sun,
just born. And he carries this sEnle home with him at night He puts
it into his work and hands it over to those about him.
When Bruno first applied for a job with me I was not very much
impressed with him. So he Immediately began to impress himself
upon m by applying for the same job three times, with increasing
earnestness and determination, until I had to hire him. That's also a
part of his caIber-going after the thing he wants and sticking to it
until he gets il.
And he's faithfuI-so very faithful. The days are all too short,
the vacations too numerous, to suit his appetite for work and service.
So this is just a simple tribute to Bruno-because I love him and
admire him and because he is an inspiration to me.
And by way of example, l am hoping that this brief Talk will help
