Outstanding in the program of
Mayor-elect John w. Kern should
be some action toward abatement
of the indianapolis smoke nuisance.
Admitting that it is not advisable,
in the circumstances, to prevent
the use of bituminous coal, it is
possible to diminish the nuisance
through proper boiler firing.
Competent heating engineers and
fremen will admit that excessive
black smoke is an indication of but
one thing-ineff1cient combustion.
Waste would be prevented and
health conditions improved by a

BROUN CRITICISED FOR
SANTA CLAUS COLUMN
By Execution.

By Exception.
AS one reader who has never run
a noticeable temperature over the
writing of Mr.. Haywood Broun, may
I take exception to the column he
had the other day on the fact
that ne thinks there is no Santa
Claus.
OF course, he is allowed to take
a courageous stand in the matter
and to have his own idea about it..
A man of Mr.. Broun's intellect
should, by now. have some opinion
about it.
If he chooses to believe there is
no Santa Claus, a man who once
ran for Congress certainly might
very well allowed his belief.
Personally, I don't believe in Santa
Claus, either.
But I see in that column more
evidence that Mr.. Broun is prepared
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-26

to climb on the band wagon and
make it his, SO long as he can bring
to himself some publicity. He has
done it time after time, and some
times a good deal more adroitly.
Mr.. Broun must find copy comes
hard to have to resort to a column
about the fact there is no Santa
Claus, appropriately enough writ

Day After Day

Between high ard incessant rows
Of buildings, that shut out the

Where never a fresh wind blows
The squalor and soil from the city.

long for the cool green hills,
And an air that will cleanse me and
heal.
But today +. tomorrow :. and

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABEL

Ills RICHNESS, Prince de Ligne, Counselor
l. i of the Belgian Embassy is turning out
to be the premier sportsman of the diplomatic
corps.
In fact, His Highness has been decorated for
his proWess with a solid and very shiny brass
button. The way and the reason the button was
awarded is as follows:
Prince de Ligne is an extremely modest man
and seldom goes anywhere. So the other day
his friends combined and took him to shoot clay
pigeons. They thought the fresh air and the
excitement would do him good
But the Prince surprised them. He raised
his gun like an experienced marksman.
'Whir-r-rr!" went the first pigeon
Crack" went the Princes gun.
The pigeon was shattered in a hundred
pieces.
To make a long story short, His Highness
popped 20 clay pigeons in succession. That's
almost record here. His friends thereupon
tore button off the dress coat of a naval at
tache and presented it to him.
You are prince of a sportsman" they
declared Anyhow, they have made sports
man of prince.

CAROLINA MAN
FATALLY HURT
IN COLLISION
H. L. BOlger Dies In Hospital
After Crashing Into Auto
Near Here
DIED ON OPERATING
TABLE IN HOSPITAL

That danger still turks on the high
way, was proven by fatal accident
which occurred about 3:15 p. M, Tues
day on the curve in Somerset Coun-
ty at the negro school house, near
Clayton Davis filling station, and just
where dirt road leads into Puncheon
Landing.
Details were hard to learn but the
man killed was H. L. Bolger, about
35 from Charleston, South Carolina,
altho' his car, Ford Coupe, bore
Florida license tags. From papers on
his body-he died on the operating
table in Salisbury hospital-his post
office was obtained and his family
communicated with.
From a rather disconnected story,
it seems truck loaded with long
piling was proceeding north and as
is swept around the curve above men
toned, another south bound Slacum
truck, connected with the building of
the Princess Anne-Westover road,
was forced off the track on the right
side of the highway. AS it struggled
to right itself and get back on the
concrete, the Ford coupe carrying Mr..
Bolger alone, and proceeding south,
crashed into it with results above re-
lated.
A "Nucoa" truck coming along, took
the injured man to Salisbury, where,
as stated, he soon succumbed. The
truck loaded with piling failed to stop
and it is possible the driver was total
~ unaware Of the accident. It would
seem that truck, carrying load Of
that's sort, should be aware chat, in
making turn, it is likely to sweep
any vehicle it meets off the road and
should proceed with extra care.

CLINIC DEMANDS
LARGER ROOMS
Will Be Moved To The Court
House In Snow Hill For
Future Examinations
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
ENCOURAGES ATTENDANCE

The increased use Of the County
tuberculosis Clinic by citizens desir-
ing chest examination, has necessitat-
ed the removal of this clinic to larger
quarters. In the future, the clinic
will be held in the Court room, Coun-
ty Court House, Snow Hill.
The next clinic will be held the
morning of Monday, October LIST. Flu
ture clinics will be held as in the past,
on the second Monday in each month,
however, in the Court House.
tuberculosis is a disease in which
early recognition is of great impor-
tance, as much can be done at this
stage to help the victims of this di-
sease which is so prevalent in our
midst.
The County Health Department en-
deavors to encourage the attendance
of all children who have been, dur
ing their early childhood, exposed to
a known case of tuberculosis. This
endeavor is based on the knowledge
that exists that the tubercular infect
ion is most commonly contracted in
early childhood by continuous contact
with an open case Of the disease, most
commonly a parent. Such childhood
contact or those who have been con-
facts should be examined twice year
or more often if indicated.
The operation of the clinic makes
these frequent examinations of child
contacts possible and the public en-
couraged to make further use of the
facilities provided. All citizens are
examined without charge by simply
attending the clinic. Reports on clinic
findings are referred to the citizens
physicians.
The Health Officer predicts that
the day will come when the local COM
munity, aroused to the tuberculosis
disaster which is occurring will pro-
vide the funds to properly house this
tuberculosis clinic and further increase
the value of the clinic by providing
and maintaining an X-ray machine to
further increase the diagnostic value
of the clinic. These funds will prob
ably come from public sources but
most likely as the result of private
contribution.

SCHEDULES FOR

ARE ARRANGED
Much Greater Service To Be Rem
dered In The Matter Of
Giving Work
COMPLETE SCHEDULE FOR
WORCESTER FOUNTAINS

About a year ago there was Re-
employment Office opened in each
of the four counties of Dorchester, Wi
comico, Somerset and Worcester as in
each other county in the State, with
a Local committee to assist the Man
ayers and Staff in rendering val
liable service to the workers, both men
and women, who were unemployed and
were anxious to secure employment
that they might better their living con-
ditions.
Last winter and early spring there
were around four thousand given work
from the list on CWA projects. Then
the PWA work started in all the coun-
ties and there have been an addi-
tional thousand referred for work,
either skilled or unskilled. In addi-
ton to the above work there has been
rendered valuable service in making
placements on private jobs.
With the cooperation of the local
committee and the Newspapers, a
much greater service can be rendered
than has been done thus far. Let it
be thoroughly understood that this
service is free to both employers and
employees.
On June LIST, the four above named
Counties merged into District Office
which is located in the basement of
the Post Office Building at Salisbury
and in order to accommodate those who
desire to register and who live in To-
calities throughout the counties a

REV. MIR. CROSBY
ADDRESSES THE
LOCAL LIONS
Club Seeks To Influence MOder.
ate Driving On Widened
Market Street

The Lions Club, at it's meeting on
Tuesday night, was fortunate in hav-
ing Rev. Mr.. Crosby, pastor of Beth
any M. P. Church, as it's speaker.
His subject was Gam I My Brothers
Keeper" which he applied to the
existing conditions of the times and
pointed out very wildly why we should
all stand together and each lend a
helping hand to his neighbor. He
was the master of his subject and
what he said was timely.
The Clubs attention was called to
the fact Market Street had been con-
verified into a speedway and that
something should be done looking to-
ward the elimination of the terrific
speed with which motor vehicles are
permitted to pass through the town.
1t was pointed out that nothwithstand-
ing the numerous fatal accidents
caused by motor traffic many motor
lists do not heed the warning. The
club went on record by unanimous
vote, that something should be done
to protect the lives and property along
this as well as other streets and a
special committee was appointed by
the President to wait on the proper
authorities with the object of i'm
proving conditions.
