avoiding Brother-Sister Squobbles
BY Kite TurmeII

You and your big brother or
small sister are the best of
friends. Suddenly something
starts a squall and the whole
house is in an uproar. Your par
ents try to find out what it is all
about. If you are blamed for what
you, definitely. do not consider
your fault, you are angrier than
ever.
That goes on in the finest Of
families. It is part Of growing UP.
It clears up many tensions and
Misunderstanding. 1t gives you
chance to release the emotional
steam which can build up to
real trouble If it is allowed to boil
on, inside. Also, it teaches you
to get along with all kinds Of
people everywhere.
Some brother-sister squabbling
is part of daily living and should
not be taken too seriously. How
ever, it is wise. in self-defense
and in Difference to peace-loving
parents, to try for family har-
mony. It takes two to make a
quarrel, true, but you can help
by trying not to be the one most
likely to spoil family fun. Often.
you can be more influential than
your parents in guiding and en-
couraging those, less grown up.
who do look up to you.
It is natural for the younger
one to respect your leadership
and yearn for your approval.
often this "hero worship" is
secret. It can cause hurt feelings
and the childish urge to strike
back with annoying tricks to
cover up the hurt. If you. the
older. do try for patience, pesky
as small fry might seem, this
might inspire your imitator to try
to catch up with you, in courtesy.
Often the older one Is annoyed
by tag-along or cry-baby or
tattle-tale traits. The younger one
may resent or envy superior skills
or extra privileges or "bossiness. >"
If each acts his age content
to let the other do likewise :.
and all avoid unfavorable COM
parsons, there will be less rivalry.
Competition, especially for the af-
fection of parents, can cause con-
tinual trouble. There will be less
cause for jealousy. If every mem
ber of the family is given enough

Rights of property are impor-
tant. If you use or wear what does

| A .'iilaiiT-oiiii" bandit, who robbed
the Mt. Blanchard bank of 1896 in
an early morning holdup last Friday
| morning, was captured by state
,, highway patrolmen south of Mt.
Vernon early the same night.
Apprehended as the lone bandit
who threatened to blow up the bank
with a bottle of nitroglycerine, was
Kenneth Darrell Carpenter, of Ken
ton.
He and his wife are also facing
federal charges of transportation of
stolen auto, the FBI announced.
Carpenter, who confessed the rob-
berry, was captured near Mt. Ver-
non at $50 p. m, after staging the
holdup at 9:45 a. m. His wife, who
was said to have been in nearby
tourist court when the robbery was
perpetrated, was with him when
the arrest was made.
At 9:45 am :, the robber, holding
small bottle of colorless liquid, en-
tered the Mt. Blanchard bank, 10
miles southeast of Findlay, and
handed a note to cashier Walter Fell
ler: "This is a stickup. This bottle
contains glycerine. want all of
your money or | will blow the place
up" The bottle was the one which
state patrolmen later identified as
containing hair oil.
He settled for 1896 from the cash
drawer by the window, but failed to
get $4,000 that was in drawer at
the next window, or $4,000 that was
in a vault with 15minute safety
lock on it, and the money that was
in the large vault that had already
been opened and closed for the day.
The robber then told Mr.. Feller
and Mrs. Blanche Alge, assistant
cashier, who was the only other
person in the bank at the time, to
go to the back of the room and not
to move for three minutes.
Immediately after he went out

day night, the Bluffton teams win,
less jinx again reared its head and
the Beavers went down to defeat
by a score of rs to 70.
The Polar Bears broke 52-52 tie
with seven minutes to play and went
on to register 1870 victory over
Bluffton's scrappy Beavers in a free
scoring basketball game.
Coach Marvin English's cagers
from Ada wiped out an early-game
Bluffton lead to pull up at the first
quarter in front 22-15. They were
still in command 1921 at halftime,
but in the third period Coach Walter
Zimmerman's Beavers forged ahead
to the front at 49-46 and continued
to set the pace until the Bears
caught them at 81.
i Bluffton's control of the boards
during the third round caused the
Beaver partisans to envision their
first victory of the season.
In most of their shooting, the
Bears were forced to fire from out
! beyond the foul circle, but in the
closing stages of the battle they
worked the ball in for several lay
ups. The Beavers did good job
of moving the leather in for closeup
connections. And they surprised by
repeatedly breaking up Northern's
fast break.
Russell Gratz of Bluffton was the
games high individual pointmaker
with nine felders and three free
throws for 81, most of his buckets
coming on short shots. On the other
hand, the speedy Bill Arthur of
Northern looped eight felders, the
majority of them from far out, and
added three gift hoists for a total of
19 points.
Richard Gratz and Fred Leichty
each looped II and Jim Howe 10
for Bluffton.
In the previous meeting between
the two teams Jan. 5 at Ada, the
Rears rolled to a $3.50 victory.

Troubles Pile Up For Hair Oil'' Mt.
Blanchard Bank RObber And Spouse

/ the door both Mrs, Alge and Mr.
Feller rushed to the front window
and saw him slide into his car and
drive south. They each caught the
license number of the car which
though it was a plate that belonged
to a Springfield man and had been
reported lost a month ago--led to the
capture of the robber.
The getaway car, 1886 model
was parked on the right side of the
street facing south. The robber got
in from the sidewalk side. Neither
Mrs. Alge nor Mr.. Feller saw any
one else in the car, but when Car
penter was captured he was accom-
panied by his wife, Vivian, 33.
At the time of the arrest neither
Carpenter nor his wife was armed
except for the hair oil. Carpenter
had $50 in his possession when ar
rested.
Carpenter was trapped by sys-
tenn of roadblocks thrown up thru
out the area. State Trooper E. M.
Valentine stopped the car. Car
penter said he was "headed for the
South" when arrested.
Patrol Lieutenant F. c. Moon said
Carpenter confessed the robbery and
also admitted stealing the car in
Amarillo, Texas, and two sets of
license plates.
