game protector.
This is a quite lake." Huges
said in his best chamber of COM
merce manner. over there's
Luy's pond. That's my favorite
bass water. You gotta fish for
'em but they'll hit in that water" "
Huges then started selling In
dian lake TO the tourists. It's
like Tony Pfarr says. he said as
we passed Blackberry island and
watched a flight of black and
gray mallard ducks take to wing
at the sound of the motor. Eel
lows today want to get into the
game. They're tired watching
some other fellow play. They
want to play themselves. So they
come here to relax and play. Why
on a good Sunday-not a holli-
day Sunday even-well get as
many as 10000 people around the
lake here. And right now you
couldn't get a cottage for this
week"
Earlier, while Lake Supt. Winn
Kinnan, Game Protectors Dee
Roberts of Piqua and Cleo Sar-
geant of Sidney were getting
ready to do some motorboat lane
posting out on the lake, Pfarr
counted off some of the vital sta
tistics of Indian lake.
Among other things he enumer-
ated; This is the highest point
of ground in Ohio and we have
4,600 rowboatS on the lake. Yes
l said 4,600. Why there's 217 big
inboard motor boats to boot. Sail
boats? Have 'em too. Last count
showed 81 of 'em, some small,
some not so small, But the vital
statistics of the boats gives you
an idea of the people here and
those who vacation here, he
said.
So there's a quick trip to In
dian lake in the heart of old Wyan-
dot-Miami Indian country.

it's over. During the last two noon
hours Ernst Richter and 1 have
had most enjoyable interlude
with mob of small kids, nine to
sixteen years-who persist in
hanging around and all over the
ieep. We don't feel like dashing
off to work again so, in the midst
of shooing them away, we've carr
led on little counter-propaganda.
Rather Richter carries on, while /

gest occasionally. These kids seems
amazingly bright. They've had no
school at all since 1943 because the
buildings are occupied by bombed
out city offices They're eager as
hell for information. They're well
behaved, and / think they repre-
sent the answer, as Richter put it,
to the question raised by ''Tomor-
row the World, Since they've had
for two years, they're still fairly
free of the taint. They're little
young to lie wilfully, and eager
as they are, they seem to provide
fertile soil for new education
which hope won't be long in COM
ing. Whether it will be possible to
drive from their minds the Ger
manic teachings which make their
older brothers and their parents
stand high among the worst citi-
zens the world has known since
the serpent in the garden, it's
hard to say. | think, though, that

save them. They don't all seem tC

but they are fasinated by America
and by certain ideas we try to gel
to them. l rath hope this ISM
fraternizing from the point of view
of others like us. because though
language is bit of a stick, l think
that just the permission to associ'
ate with some of the GIS might
help them. l certainly hope this
isn't fraterniZing, because any sol
ution found at San FransiSco must
depend to a great extent on these
children for its success.

years since an American held the

obScurity after the late Charley
Paddock's era.
Glenn Cunningham probably
did more than any one else to

the last american 10 hold the

Three years later Sydney Wood

4:064 Then Hagg. five years
later, topped that with his 1852.
Then he made II in 4:046 and
caused a terrific stir and talk
about the four-minute mile.
For the bugs who know their
