When members of London Bus
mess and Professional Women's
Club received notices for the Ap-
I'll meeting at Coover Club House
from the Public Affairs committee
of which Miss Dorothy Gibson is
chairman, the first line read,
Lets mix business with plea
sure" and the committee meant
just that.
Two speakers had been invited
to appear on the program and
each gave an excellent account of
his assignment, approached from
vastly divergent angles.
Forrest r. Hanson, Madison
county auditor, on the practical
side gave many Of the "BPWS"
a completely new picture of the
business of running a county. The
numerous phases of the work of
the auditors office, many of which
were entirely new to his audience,
Mr.. Hanson gave in as much de-
tail as his time would allow. In ad-
dition to these various types of
work which his duties entail, he
gave figures and taxing problems
that were a staggering revelation.
As summation of the magnitude
of the cost of county government,
Mr.. Hanson stated that the cost of
operation of the county is based
on tax duplicate valuation of $53,-
600, 1000 which covers operation of
the IA townships, four libraries, IL
schools, six corporations and the
county offices.
In direct contrast to this most
informative and interesting talk,
was the topic of the next speaker,
Norman Nadel, prominent Column
bus critic, whose subject was

was within the province of the

GPDRTING
 COMMENT

A few short months ago they were talking about a D,any Nardico Rocky Mar e;ano fight They were saying down in Tampa, that Nar- aieo- a real tough guy at so,nething over 180 pounds would give Marciano 8 good fight.
 At one stage of maneuver- ing the fight was almost ar- ranged, but nothing ever came of it. Instead Danny got a couple of shots at a fellow named Charlie Norkus a heavyweight fighting out of Jersey City.
 In the first go, in January, NOrkus slammed Nardico down to the canvas six times and finally had him in the ninth. Nardico really wantei revenge in the second fight about ten days ago. He was game all the way, kept com ing in and pressing Norkus all the way. The bigger fel- low just waited for Danny to move in and let fly with loop ing rights and left hooks. Mar dico took a pot full of those punches before the fight ended, too, and though he didn't go down, he was hurt badly in several rounds.
 All of which go to prove that giving away seventeen pounds is too much, even for agOod light-heavy like Mar dico. And watching Danny's style in these two fights, one must conclude he is not cute enough for Marciano. In fact, he's the same type of fighter.
 The only difference is he doesn't pack the punching power of Rocky and the cham piOn would probably put him Osleep although we'll ad- nit Danny can take a lot of punishment.
 Speaking of Norkus, there are several good German fighters making good records in U. s. rings today. Ger many's middleweight cham pion. Gustav SchoIz looked pretty good recently beating Al Andrews in Madison Square Garden.
 6cholz may need experience but one day he will be a real contender. The middleweight division is turning up some good fights, what with Gavi- Ian having taken g crack at thls classification and Scholz having come over from Berlin for go at it.

 Then the matter of fire police protection that be gained through annexation that at the time costs nearly quaduple what it would you in the City and the service would become mandatory.

The Juniorettes held a barn
party at Pat Cross home on
Tuckerman Lane. Members of
the Junior Women's Club were
invited as chaperons.
Everyone had a good time
dancing to the popular songs
and few square dances. Re-
freshments of cake and soft
drink were served to the party.
On Friday afternoon, men,
bers of the club worked clean
ing up the barn. They even
washed the windows so it hard
ly looked like a barn except
for the bales of hay stacked
in the corners.
The next big project of the
club will be helping a hospital
or children's home decorate at
Christmas time. They hope to
make this an annual tradition,
for the first project they took
up when organized last Novem-
Der was to decorate a hospital

This will climax one full
year for the Juniorettes, with
a lot of hard work and salts
