M. -- Portales* "spit and whittle club" of "gentlemen over 50," whose meeting place on the north side of the square is protected by a sign reading, "If You Are Under 80 Years of Age, Don't Sit Here,"* has moved inside for the winter. But for awhile it looked as if cold winds, unwelcome to aging joints and bald heads, might break up the gathering which spent many summer hours "jawing" under the shade trees where a sign proclaims, "No Preaching Allowed." The old-timers couldn't move around to the sunny south side of the square because of a new lawn planted there, so they appointed a committee to ask the city council to provide them with a building for winter meetings. The council foresaw budget difficulties and balked, but the committee argued that the city provided playgrounds for children, parks for youth and roads for the city's drivers, and therefore ought to provide a place for the "spit and whittle" club to meet during the winter. Thoe committee won. , Now the "gentlemen over 50"-r retired cattlemen, pnerchants and pioneers of the district--rent a city building and hold their "cfonfabs" in the same untroubled comfort thc$r. enjoyed in the summer. Weather Data Punched on Cards Aid in Forecasting WASHINGTON.--More than 10,- 000,000 observations on the weather made at 200 airports throughout the country during the past five years are being punched on cards, passed through sorting machines, and filed for reference at the, United States weather bureau. The cards record all the details of temperature, wind direction, barometric pressure, wind velocity, visibility and such factors as fog, smoke, rain, snow and dust. A > By putting a batch of them from Dallas, Des Moines, New York, San Francisc<* or any other point in the sorting machine, a weather scientist will be able to find within a short time the range of temperature or any' other element of the weather for the past five years at any point. WPA "whitecollar" workers at New Orleans, where the project is being carried on, are turning out these cards at the rate of 30,000 per day. They are using 10 tabulating machines to Sort them and work out the curves of weather variations on master charts. With these, weather men will be able to make their forecasts more accurately than ever before, knowing that a combination of certain conditions probably will produce rain, snow, sleet or fog tomorrow. . Drill Touches Roman Fossils of 18,000 B. C. ROME. -- Italian self-sufficiency experts were surprised when the drill of an oil well erected on the site of the Circus Maximus, after reaching the 1,000-foot level suddenly plunged into a muddy river bed along which the Tiber river flowed more than 20,000 years ago. « The American oil drilling equip* ment, a feature of the Italian selfsufficiency exposition, had inadvertently made this year's most important archeological discovery. Samples of the river clay reveal fossils that were deposited by the Tiber 18 centuries before it shifted to its present course and, according to legend, bore Romulus and Remus, the mythical founders of Rome, to safety on its muddy waters. The discovery makes the ruins of Augustus Caesar's ancient sports stadium, which stands in venerable contrast to the modern steel framework of the oil derrick, actually young by comparison. The oil derrick was erected on the grounds of a national self-sufficiency fair as an attraction to show visitors how oil is discovered. Early Indian Burial Is Revealed in California PORTERVILLE, CALIF. -- The crumbling skeleton of a long dead Indian was found by workmen laying a pipe line for the Terra Bella irrigation district.

LOCAL CHURCHES ANNOUNCE THEIR LENTEN SCHEDULES , Next Wednesday, February 7, marks tlie berginning of Lent, the beginning of six weeks repentance and preparation for the death of our Savior and His glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Faithful souls deprive their bodies of many temporal pleasures as a sacrifice for wrongs committed and plunge themselves into a spiritual renovation. To remihd man that his mortal body will not always remain with him and that he must do all in his power to keep his immortal soul pure in the Eyes of God, the priest blesses the ashes of the palms from the previous Palm Sunday and annoints the heads of the parishioners, reminding man that he is dust and to dust he shall return. Special services will be held in Catholic churches throughout the world during this holy season of Lent. At St. Mary's church, in observance of the feast of St. Blase on Saturday, throat blessings will be administered after mass on Saturday, before confessions at 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m., and after both masses on Sunday.

Four witnesses were due to have been summoned to appear before the grand jury Monday to testify in the probe of the fire which caused some |20,000 damage at the Louis Cer<- nocky dance pavilion on November 24, 1939. The witnesses were to have Included Paul Bertram, former assistant state fire marsRal of Crystal Lake; W. C. Dvorak, Fox River Grove fire marsal; Erwin LeGros, Fox River Grove, justice of the peace, and Richard Novak, Fox River Grove insurance agent. State's Attorney William M. Carroll was to have charge of the probe assisted by Donald A. Wicks. Frank R. Doherty, assistant fire marshal, was to have been called before the jury also. Two watchmen. Fire Marshal Dvorak and Rex Wright, were kidnaped the night of the fire and taken as far as Palatine where they were released unharmed. At an investigation made by Assistant State Fire Marshal Doherty, Dvorak said that six men who appeared at the dance hall and at the point of guns made them enter two cars. A bomb was placed in the dance hall, according to Dvorak, by the men before they left the building. The fire was the second in a week. On the Sunday previous to November 24, a fire broke out when Louis Cernocky turned on a light switch in the dance hall. This happened about 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon and quick-response from the Fox River Grove fire department prevented a serious damage. The second fire took place about 1:30 a. m., Just as the Cernockys were closing their tavern and cafe which is connected with the dance hall. An explosion, it is said, attracted tLtention of the Cernockys to the dance hall where immediately following the explosion the building burst into flames. Although it was first thought the explosion was caused from a leaky gas connection in the attic, Marshal Doherty reported later a pan smelling strongly of gasoline and approximately 100 pounds of scattered papers were found in the charred attii* DISORDERLY CONDUCT r Edmund Austin, 28, Richmond, was confined in the county jail on a charge of disorderly conduct.
