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. ;. ;

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 . "

Bacteria Counted in
Frozen Vegetables
Geneva, N.Y. U.R) The
number and kinds of bacteria
found in frozen vegetables stor
ed over long periods have been
determined by a Cornell Univer
sity food . bacteriologist ' at the
state Agricultural Experiment
Station here.
Dr.George TJ. Hucker said
that cultures isolated from snap
beans and lima beans were
found to contain freeze-resistant
bacteria which remained alive
after zero storage for two to 10
years. The low-temperature-
growing bacteria is .known to
bacteriologists as. "psychro
Phils." :
Similar bacteria were also iso
lated ' from frozen asparagus,
brussels sprouts, broccoli and
cauliflower. None of the organ
isms so far observed in frozen
vegetables has any significance
from a public health standpoint,
Dr. Hucker added.

Hybrid Worm Resists
Cold, Attracts Fish
Davenport, la. 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."

A Nichols Worth of . .
Comment On This and That
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Prut Fa tart Writf

T. Mankin can do almost any

She can sew, she can cook.
She can paint," she can write.

stuff and claim
I .INr-H"the title of reg
istered pharm
acist. ,
No t only
that, she is
1 o v e 1 y. 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.
