INDIANAPOLIS ~ Thousands of
buttons most of them more highly

be displayed in indianapolis, Oct. q

The layout will be the ninth an
naaI show .;of the National Button
Society. Organization for devoteeS
who claim to be the third largest
group Of collectors.
DR. George E, Gould, Purdue Uni
versity entomologist who is nation
al t,tfeasurer of the society. said the
display including more than 1000
competitive exhibits, will be valued at.
$4,000
DIR. Gould, incidentally, said it
isn't such a far cry from the study
Of insects to button collecting. In
troduced to the hobby by his wife,
he has assembled one of the worlds
finest collections of buttons with
insect designs.
Auction sales of household goods
can be among the best prospecting
grounds for button collectors,
Gould said, particularly if a
echhrin string can be found These
strings were all the rage among the
girls rs years ago. The nineteenth
century maid was decked in high
fashion If she could only. collect one
button from each of her friends.

GUARD AGAINST FIRE
ADVICE TO FARMERS !

Every day, one hundred farm
fires take the lives of ten farmers.
One farm fire in ten results iii
death" SAYS the National Fire Pro-
lection Association:
Sponsor of Fire Prevention Week,
October 5 to IL; the National Fire
Protection Association in coopera-
tion wiki the U. s.: Department of
Agriculture and the Delaware Agri-
cultural Extension Service urges
farm people to take part actively in
guarding themselves and their
farmsteads against fire.
According to the NFPA "at least
ninety per cent of all farm fires are
.preventable Unlike fire fighting.
fire prevention is not hard. There
are few farm fires which cannot be
prevented by carefulness.''
Confirming the fact that most
farm fires can be prevented. there
is noticeable decrease in the num-
Der and severity Of farm fires dur
ing and for few weeks following
Fire Prevention Week. Then, the
curve of fire losses. once more re-
ssumes its upward trend. The reason
Is obvious. For a few short weeks
farm people remember what they
have heard about the destructive
ness of fire and are alert to its
causes. Then they forget that FIRE
and carelessness don't mix. perhapS
in the mistaken belief that ''it cam
happen to me-" Many will get hs
despite their careiessness.. but toe
many lose to make the risk worth

Forty years after he had left ire

more to offer his family than his
dilapidated house and passion for
horses. And ali but Kelvin, Scans
12-year-old grandson, accepted their
bad luck in resignation, working the
farm and caring for two work horses
and a blind Arabian mare--.all that
was left of dream of a profitable
breeding business.
Thus Dana Faralla opens her
novel and starts building around
Celtic folk lore, an understanding
of horses and the tradition of Irish
horse traders, a simple story of
how a decrepit Barb changed the
fortunes of the impoverished family.

achieves an old ambition of his

KNOCK ON ANY DOOR

KNOCK ON ANY DOOR
BY Willard Motley. ID. Appleton
Century; $3.j
A new writer tells in a novel of
power, understanding and compass
sion the story Of boy who, like
so many others, started life in a
good home and turned into GRIM
inal before he was 81.
When he was IL, Nick Romano
was an altar boy in Denver. His
family, respected Italians, hoped he
would be a priest. But the depres-
sion fell, and his father lost his
prosperous grocery. They had to
move to the wrong side of town.
There was little work for the father
or mother or older brother. Nick
got in with a bad crowd Of boys.
He drifted away from the church
He got into scrapes, stole trifling
things. Finally he was sent to a
reform school.
At the reform school Nick saw his
little pals beaten. All the boys
were treated cruelty. He came out
bitter, determined to get even with
the law, hating every policeman.
The family moved to Chicago, and
Nick hung around Halstead street
and West Madison, cultivating the
tough boys. His father beat him,
knowing no other way. Nick had
his chances to straighten up, but
the bitterness had gone too deep,
and he had seen too much excite
ment of sort, and what looked
like easy money. The family was
on relief. Even when a girl of
character married him, the good
looking lad couldn't stick to the
factory jobs he got.
The ending was inevitable. Petit
larceny, then holdups, year in
Jail, and after that more crime.
Finally Nick killed a policeman. He
was just 81, and he couldn't ex-
pect another chance.
Mr.. Motley has written the trag-
edy of Nick effectively, which makes
the grim chronicle more effective.
There is always the effort to search
out the factors that contributed to
the boys moral collapse, though
his refusal to see which way he
was headed and turn back never
is slurred over or condoned.
This is mature, vivid book.
There is nothing to mark it as a
first novel unless it's a tendency to
describe in too lavish detail. Some
times this prolixity weakens the
dramatic force OF episodes, though
not always. Mr.. Motley has made
an outstanding contribution to the
growing literature of that most baf :
fling problem, juvenile crime.
