N08HES Editor and Manager ; A VOTE AGAINST DECENCY ^ --The defeat of the Hatch amendment to the "lending-spending bill is onej of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of congressional action in thiaj cbuntry. # . • The amendment provided that belief , officials who attempted to use relief j •funds to sway the votes of relief beneficaries should be discharged. It marked a praiseworthy effort to do awayi •with one of the most notorious abuses , of relief administratipn. On the; grounds of good government, fairness and honesty, it should have been pass-1 fed by a unanimous vote. ' • Instead, it was beaten, m spite Of the fact that some senators who have , been strongest for greater relief spending, such as Senators Norris arid LaFoUette, supported it. And, incredible as it seems, one senator, in speaking against the amendment, said frankly that if it were approved4 it would endanger the chances of certain senators being re-elected-this November. In other words, these senators apparently felt that only the cor- . . rupt use of public money could save1 Miss Florence Huff and Mr. Herbert their jobs. •jFreui«"'tWW,~!ll«!Wed Wednesday The Hatch amendment, to sum" ufp,'morning, June 22, at 9 o'clock in St would have put some measure of lost John's church, JpJ^sburg, Fr.

John Bunyan was born in November, 1628, at Elstow, Bedfordshire England, the son of a tinker. According to his own account, his early youth, was notoriously ungodly, judged by his contemporary Puritan standards. He was guilty ot such crimes as "dancing, ringing the belts of the .parish church, playing at tipcat and reading the history of Sir Bevis of, Southampton." However, states a writer in the Indianapolis News, although he fought for a few months as a soldier U?Jhe parliamentary army, his marriage to a young woman of religious character when he was nineteen, his subsequent baptism and admission to "church privileges," and the fact that his "Sighs From Hell' (a record of spirttrial struggle) appeared when he was twenty-two, all point to his having abandoned his so-called evil Ways. He began to preach in 1^55. In 1656 he wrote his "Gospels of Truth Opened," and "A Vindication" of it in 1657, both directed against Quakers. He was indicted for preaching and. although he escaped punishment for some time, he was convicted in November, 1660, as a "common upholder of several unlawful meetings and conventicles," and was committed to Bedford jail, where he remained until 1672. It has been said that he Wrote the first part of his "Pilgrim's Progress" during that imprisonment, although some have it that the work was done, during a second period of incarceration, which . lasted six months. ' \In 1671, the year before his release, he was elected pastor of the Baptist church at Bedford. He died in 1688 at Snow Hill, Holborn, and was buried at Bunhill Fields, London. So great had his fame become, principally through "Pilgrim's Prog-" ress," that many deeply religious folk sought to be buried near him.

Probably America's most popular deepwater duck; the bluebill is any gunner's game because of its abundance and wide distribution. An old wildfowler can distinguish bluebill in .flight as far as he can see them. They wheel and bank on the turns, side slip to a landing and rise on the take-off with precision.

Take the camera alongl The ' The Danube Rive#5" Danube river was, in the hey-day "of steamboating before the coming of the railroads, the only connecting link between the Balkan states of Turkey, Rumania, Bulgaria/ and Serbia and the Austrian empire. The Danube's first traffic boorar was /difring the Crusades when v2^©enladen craft bound for the Holy Land proceeded down it at one time. The early Greek merchants knew it and Herodstois called it the "greatest of rivers." For 500 years the Romans ruled it and it is interesting that no single people has controlled it since. A dozen towns along it are mentioned in the Niebelunglied which reflect the early barbarian raids and migrations. During the long Turkish occupation of the lower river traffic was at a standstill, but with their overthrow in the Seventeenth century trade began to revive. In 1817 steam was introduced and soon the Danube over its 1,600 miles from Regensburg in Bavaria to the Black sea resembled the steamboat days on the MississippL How Frogs, Toads Produce Sound Dickerson's "The Frog Book" mentions that all members of the North American Saiientia (frogs and toads) can produce sound, caused by air passing over vocal cords in the larynx of the throat. The loud croaking given during the breeding season is produced usually by the males only given species. The air enters at the nostrils (the mouth is kept closed) and passes back and forth from mouth to lungs over the vocal cords. The sounds can be produced under water, • and often are in the case of our common bullfrogs. yon go to the circus or carnival, by all means go early and take your camera along.
