(IriernatumalSoujulphotol Illinois Joins Crusade for TV On Regional Basis Springfield, Hl.-J(U.R)-It be came apparent today that state legislators are not going to rest until they have " regional televi sion broadcasts of Big Ten foot ball games. Illinois became the latest state to join the crusade for regional TV yesterday when Rep. Ora D. Dollavou said he would Intro duce a bill in the state legisla ture to telecast University of Illinois football eames. Similar resolutions have been proposed in Minnesota, Ohio and Michigan. If the legislatures should approve the bills, five Big Ten football teams would be forced to break the TV code of the National Collegiate Ath letic association. The NCAA opposes regional TV "because of the effect that it would have on attendance at college football games. . But legislatures in the seven states comprising the Big Ten claim their constituents want to watch their state universities on Saturday afternoon and not two schools whom they have no in terest in. . . ' The legislators are convinced regional TV will be accepted by all within a few years, and that with a little prodding it will be "sooner" rather than "later." Dollavou's bill in the Illinois legislature is brief, saying only that the "board of trustees may broadcast or permit the . broad cast of any athletic program au thorized by them. Any means of transmission of Illinois athletic events or combination of trans mission may be used." . Hardwood types of trees cover more than two-thirds of the commercial forest area in Ver mont. The sugar maple, beech, yellow birch are the dominant types. ;. ; High School Scores TUESDAY fcVMES Franklin 46. Cleveland 44 Grant 71. Benson 57 Jefferson 54. Lincoln 51 .. i. .. . Washington 48.

PCC To Continue Its Fight for Regional Video Los Angeles (U.R) , The Pacific Coast Conference today supported continued control by the NCAA of the televising of college football games but also indicated it was not giving up its fight for regional TV. PCC Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt issued a conciliatory statement on the PCC's attitude towards the NCAA yesterday, implying that no breach with the NCAA on the matter was impending. However, Schmidt . recom mended "at least a substantial amount of regional television" in the belief that such a program is best suited to the attainment of a proper balance of member institutions. 1 , v - , : ' ' : " Abstention Hinted " Earlier the PCC hinted it might abstain from participating" in any program adopted by the NCAA for 1955 which would by pass regional televising of col lege football in favor of a single game of the week. ' The PCC's threat of a breach followed' the line laid down by H. F. (Fritz) Crisler, Big Ten spokesman, who intimated his conference would also boycott a game ; of the week ; arrange ment. ' The NCAA will meet in April to determine its policy for tele vising college football games this year. ' y .

U.PJ Wilbur Eppard, the Luther Burbank of the worm world, has come up with an Iowa-California hybrid that resists cold but still has that "taste appeal" so attractive to fish. Eppard got into his strange worm-breeding occupation last year after doctors told him he'd have to give up carpentry for less strenuous work. He bought 15,000 California red worms;and set up his busi ness. But low Midwestern tem peratures killed many of the wrigglers. So he dumped some local brown-nose leaf worms in with the remainder, Now he has about 250,000 worms in a backyard bed and 72 trays in his basement. As the Eppard hand picks bunches of worms grow to four inches long, 40 of them, grabs a handful of "special formula" and dumps the mixture into a plastic bag. He Says the worms will stay 'fresh and alive for about two months. ! Mrs. Eppard didn't go for the worm-growing at first. But now she helps her. husband with the crop. But she says that "spaghet ti is seldom on the menu around our house." Ninth Air Division Based at Spokane Spokane, Wash.

Mrs. Harmon Nichols Mankin is only 7a years old, and as she puts it is "still working up to something real big. You'll see!" -'I have missed something across the span of my life be cause I didn't meet Virginia Mankin until recently.' When I called on her here she was down on her knees repairing the wir ing in a balky lamp. Far From Nuis "I decided long ago that a person has to use head and hand to keep from going nuts." Mrs. Mankin, let it be said, is far from nuts. The lady calls "home" Thur mond, W. Va., where she met and was wooed by Dr. J. Ward Mankin. When the doctor went to Baltimore in 1900 to study medicine, "Aunt Ginny," as a lot of her close friends call her, decided it was time she went to work, too. r , ' So she went to a pharmacy school. - She learned how to mix: pills in the old way. ' When the two of them returned to the mountain ' country, Mrs.- M. couldn't stand to be idle. So she got a job in a drug store. ". One funny thing Mrs. Mankin remembers about the 12 to ' 18 hours a day she labored for 12 years in that, drug store hap pened one day when ah out lander dowager came in and asked for some cold cream. -'Twenty five cents, please," said the pharmacist. . Satisfied Customer , " The lady said that was "too cheap", for her, so our heroine went behind the curtain and put a little more of this and that in a crock, plus a little perfume, put it back in the jar and said all that would be $1. The satis fied customer walked out and came back for more. Another time, when her late husband was practicing medicine in .Washington,, she got bored. So she enrolled in carpenters' school. She still repairs broken chairs' around the bouse. And when she goes into a hardware store she often comes out with a new f angled screw driver or a drill or a saw. Mostly, -though, she likes to write or paint. She hunts and pecks on the typewriter and has written and published a couple books on West Virginia folk lore. . During one of ' her idle mo ments she took a course in water colors at the Corcoran Art school here. Last Christmas she hand painted 100 Christmas cards.
