TIIE WAYNES VILLE MOUNT AINEES Mr. and Mrs. Trantham Quick Thinking Rescues Two Trapped In Car GARY, Ind. (UP An automo bile skidded into a telephone pole in a residential area and the car burst into flames, trapping a 19-year-old boy and girl inside. About 20 horified bystanders watched as the couple tried to es cape. A second car pulled up and a man and woman stepped out. They pushed through the crowd and wrenched one door open, pulling the young passengers out. When police arrived, the res cuers had left the scene without identifying themselves. Capt.

Americans Setting Travel Record WASHINGTON (UP) The American itch to "go places and see things" is expected to set a post-war foreign travel record this year with an estimated 345,000 U. S. citizens visiting Europe and the United Kingdom. They will leave $220,000,000 abroad, spending an additional $93,000,000 for foreign transporta tion. The importance N of this inter continental travel is readily ap parent to the Marshall Plan coun tries who need dollars. To attract tourists they have promoted exten sive campaigns and made traveling easier by simplifying restrictions and custom regulations. An ECA program for the study of travel techniques has been re sponsible for much of the easing of red tape requirements, John Forney Rudy, public rela tions director of the National Fed eration of American Shipping ac knowledged the boost the program has given to American-flag ship lines. Rudy said, however, that only about one-half the passenger ac commodations will be offered as were available in 1939. Today's 11.000 accommodations compare with 23,000 then, or 41 American vessels compared to 71 in 1939. "But in proportion to space available, both American and for eign flag lines probably will carry more passengers than ever before in their history," Rudy said. The largest business firm in this country in the early 1800's was the American Fur Company, founded by John Jacob Astor. KIDS!

How "Problem" Dogs Get That Way CHICAGO (UP) Many "prob lem" dogs got that way because they were brought up as juvenile delinquents, says the American Veterinary Medical Association. A dog s adult behavior may hinge on things it should start learning when three months old. The veterinarians pointed out three examples of annoying dog habits that may be prevented by early training: 1. The book-chewing, furniture gnawing dog probably was not fur nished toys as a puppy. Given toys, he can devote his energy to playing instead of destroying. 2. Dogs that refuse to eat un familiar food are prisoners of taste habits formed during puppyhood, If given a variety of suitable foods while young, dogs usualy are not finicky eaters when they get older 3. If a dog is given its own bed at an early age it is less likeiy to seek the comfort of its owner's bed or to nap on the family sofa. Oldest Undergraduate Made Phi Beta Kappa GAMB1ER, O.

Will .Franklin, is directing money-raising to finance the drive for "yes" voles. A similar resoltuion carried 9-to-1 in Connecticut and 11-to-l in Massachusetts. Small Business Helping Handicapped Veterans CHICAGO (UP) Small bust nesses are doing the best job to rehabilitate disabled veterans, the Veterans Administration finds. The VA said "the neighborhood garage, the local haberdashery, the job printing shop and all types of small scale business enterprises" are doing the "major share" of training handicapped ex-G.I.s Some 45.000 business and indus trial . firms now are training han dicapped veterans under public law 16, the vocational rehalibita tion act, the VA said. The number of veterans being trained is less than 58.000. Business men who have trained disabled veterans have been "fa vorably impressed" in nearly all cases, the VA said.

After the snake is exhausted, the hedge hog simply bites his victim into pieces and cats; it. Too Much Baby Sitting Called Bad Influence CARTHAGE, 111. (UP) An auth ority on adolescent and adult psy chology says the baby sitter is symbolic of the "age of juvenile delinquency". Baby sitters can't replace par ents, at least not seven days a week, Dr. Frank B. Miller, person nel director of Carthage College, said. "In nine out of ten cases it is the fault of the parent when Ihe youth of America enters the court room," Miller said.

CLEVELAND, O. (UP) Miss C lara Kibler could pu( a notch in her gun if she had a gun. She bagged the United States post office and got $5 jt (iifn-t waul to give. 'Miss. 'Kibler. or "Aunt Clara" mailed two dishes to her niece in Maryland. They were smashed en route, and Aunt Clara asked the post office for the $5 they were worth. The post office told her to write a letter and fill out forms. She did. Then they asked her for the original wrapping paper. She fooled them there: she had it, sent by her niece. Then they wanted the broken aisnes lor appraisal. Aunt Clara had them too. The post office offered Aunt Clara $2. She said no, firmly. Then they insLsted on proof of value, tiara got it by consulting a couple of antique dealers. One of them said $7, Aunt Clara sent in her proo; to the Post Office Department, which was weakened by the long months of'cpmbat. The government surrendered, unconditionally. It sent Aunt Clara the $5 'the whole business already had cost her more than that). "It's the principle of the thing," she said, pocketing the fiver.
