The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-04-22

Several years ago, about Christ
mas time, an interesting little SER
vice was held outside the Morris
son-Reeves library, dedicating the
little bronze fountain that now
stands to the north of the library
building, facing North A street, to
the children and the dogs and cats
and birds of Richmond. The statue
was made in Chicago and given by
Mrs. William Dudley Foulke as a
memorial to pretty little curly
dog named Bembo, which had been
the pet of little Janet Uric. Mrs.
Fouike's granddaughter, but which
had been killed by an automobile.
The figure of Bembo in basrelief,
which stands out so clearly from
the base of the fountain, is seen on
the side of the fountain which
faces the north.
Older children may easily drink
from the fountain, but it is too high
for the littlest ones, and so, in
planning the fountain, it was de-
cided to add the little step on the
south side OF 1t so that the smallest
children when thirsty, may get a
nice, cool drink. A circular basin
at the base Of the fountain proves a
happy place for thirsty dogs and
cats, and was made especially for
them. Little birds also stop con-
tinually during the hot summer
days for cool sip of water.
Janet Uric Unveils New
Bronze Fountain
At the time of the dedication,
which was in the Christmas sea-
son, the fountain was decorated
with bright red and green holly
wreaths.
Janet Uric, then a very little
girl, unveiled the statue.
Miss Margaret Mooney, who has
taught many years in Richmond's
schools, and who is now teaching
first grade boys and girls in Vale
school, made lovely little speech,
accepting the fountain in behalf of
the children of Richmond.
Afterwards it was said that it
ought to be accepted for the dogs
of the city Babbie, a beautiful
collie dog, belonging to Mrs. Ada L.
Bernhard, must have heard the
suggestion, and have understood
the seriousness of his opportunity,
for he walked sedately up to the
fountain, took a long drink from
the basin at its foot, wagged his
tail by way of showing his appre-
citation, and then walked with

Work Progressing On Colby

Especial to Kennebec JournaD
Waterville. Nov. 1.-THE work on
the new hockey rink in the rear of
the Colby college gymna sium is
progressing rapidly and it will only
be a matter of a short time before
the task will be completed and ready

A large amount of earth will have to

for the rink. The spectators will
have a natural stadium from which to
watch the games as the slope of the
banking affords an excellent place to
sit, if the snow is not too cold or the
ice too slippery. The rink will be

warrants it and it is assured that

Single Grid Contest
For Harvard is Being
Argued by Debaters

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 14-Thcy
are talking of limiting intercollegiate
football games at Harvard to a sim

talk is serious and has found sup
port, yet there is no likelihood that
the arguments will change the Grim

It's all a matter of debate. In two
separate inter class debates, fresh
men against sophomores, and juniors
against seniors, the affirmative pre-
vailed on the proposition: "Resolved.
that Harvard should limit intercol-
legiate football games to one annual
contest with Yale. experimenting
this with the Oxford system Of in
ira mural contests" The former de-
bate was decided by vote of nearly
leo undergraduates
The issue has not been finally de-
cided even on the forensic rostrums.

meet again next week to argue the
subject once more, this time with the
freshmen reversing themselves in
opposition.

After Blake was injured his place
was taken by Dow, a substitute who
