Old Cannon Gives South Dakota Laugh Vermillion, S.D (U.R) An old Civil War cannon which was brought to the Dakota Territory to shower destruction on Indi ans, later made quite a name for itself by providing South Dakota with laughs for about half a century. The city of Vermillion orig inally was given the cannon hostilities ended. It used the big I gun in Fourth of July celebra tions, and soon other nearby towns wanted to use it. However, the others would either intentionally or uninten tionally forget to return it. .. University of South' Dakota students stole the cannon in 1888 just before the results of the Benjamin Harrison - Grover Cleveland presidential election was made known. They wanted Harrison to win. He did, and the cannon roared. Just after the turn of the cen tury, Elk Point borrowed the weapon and installed it on a courthouse lawn. Another group of university students stole it during the night and got as far as the nearest tavern, where they stopped for refreshments. Outside, Elk Point residents caught up with them and took it back. It wasn't until 1921 that an other group of university stu dents tried to take it back to Vermillion. They tied and gag ged a watchman, and back to school went the artillery piece. It has been sitting in a base ment in the school's adminis tration building and officials are thinking of repairing it and put ting it on the campus lawn again. But they're not sure how long it will stay. The "engraver" beetle, which bores elaborate patterns under the bark of trees, runs up a dam age bill of more than $62,000,000 a year in U.S. forests.

Anti-Smoke Law Improves Highways : Pittsburgh (U.R)-' This city's anti-smoke law, which eliminat ed Pittsburgh's old-time "Smoky City" tag, will lead indirectly to better and cheaper highways for the entire nation on the basis of tests on a model road used by heavy trucks. The improved highways will come through the use of "fly ash," a waste product reclaimed at sieei mui stacKs, wnicn is combined with normal road- building materials in laying highways. Tests indicate that in stead of the road deteriorating with, age, it actually gets stronger with age if fly-ash is used. Back in th pre-smoke control days, fly-ash belched freely from industrial stacks and sometimes turned noon into night, even in downtown Pittsburgh. When the smoke control law went into ef fect the accumulated waste be came such a problem that an amendment was added to the law which prohibited dumping it in fields. At this point Bituminous Coal Research Inc., a non-profit group sponsored by coal and some al lied industries, stepped into the uicture. It developed formulas for adding fly-ash to road build ing materials, blacktop and con crete, and even cement blocks. The results were more than a mild success according to Henry H. Russell, a BCR spokesman. A test roadway using fly-ash was laid between a power sta tion of Duquesne Light Co. near here and the station's coal stockpile. The road was pounded daily by some 300 trucks loaded with as much as 30,000 pounds of coal. "The road actually strength ened with age," Russell said. The test convinced the state's highway department which ac cepted the use of fly-ash quickly. It will be used on a local high way soon. Russell said fly-ash costs about half of what slag costs now. Grinding Wheels Now Shipped Egg-Crafe Style Buffalo, TX.Y.tU.B The Elec tro Refractories & Abrasives Corp. of Buffalo has devised a new technique for shipping small grinding wheels. The wheels now are being packed in egg-crate style to re duce damage In shipping and handling and to simplify inven tory problems for the customer. The new system, which util izes double-face'd corrugated car tons of interior airfloat construc tion, cuts down on shipping weight and eliminates sawdust and shredded packing materials. The cardboard cartons hold four to six-inch cup wheels. Electric service is found in 90 per cent of all Belgian homes despite the fact that the country has no natural water-power-resources. Idealistic Lawyers Said Badly Needed Dallas, Tex. U.PJ Texas Atty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd told delegations to the American Bar association meeting here to day that the preservation of our democracy is and ought to be primarily the responsibility of those who practice law.

Heat Wave Bakes Large Portion of US By UNITED PRESS High humidity added to dis comfort today as a heat wave baked most of the nation east of the Rockies. Temperatures in the 90s and 100s were forecast as little re lief was spotted by weather men. The late season heat wave was accompanied by showers and thunderstorms in widely scattered areas of the country during the night. Thunderstorms were widespread early today from the Dakotas eastward to the Mississippi river. Meanwhile, moist gulf air moved into southeast states and produced generous rainfalls mainly in Tennessee. Alabama and Georgia.

ALWAYS Tuesday, August 28, 1956 Back Stairs: By MERRIMAN SMITH United Press White House Writer Pebble Beach, Calif. (U.R) Backstairs at the traveling White House: President Eisenhower is in. a fists-up attitude toward his Dem ocratic election opposition. He thinks Adlai E. Stevenson, the Democratic nominee, and former President Harry S. Truman have hit below the belt in their com ments on his administration. He plans to slug back soon. Before the GOP convention in San Francisco, Mr. Eisenhower was not expected to start cam paigning until the end of Septem ber or early October. He now intends to open up by Sept. 15. Shortly after Mr. Eisenhower returns to Washington, he'll head for his farm In Gettysburg, Pa., probably to spend next week end there. Mr. Eisenhower turned down a plea from photographers to let them shoot him on the fa mous 16th hole of the Cypress Point Golf Course. This Is the murderous 220-yard hole which includes 205 yards of ocean. The President said, "I could stand there for three years and not carry that hole." When he played it, he went the so-called short or safe route, hitting to the left of the green and staying on solid ground. Mr. Eisenhower's golf form has improved a great deal since his June 9 ileitis operation. On the tee, his swing is smoother and more even. This undoubted ly is due to the fact that because of his early summer surgery, he is not trying to kill the ball. His wood and short iron game seems much more consistent than it was a few months ago, but quite frankly, his putting is lousy. He has been taking three putts from very short distances away from the cup and this irri tates him no end. The chief executive was deep ly impressed by the crowds that lined his train route from San Francisco to Monterey. One of his staff members said after the train trip, "I've never WARMTH THAT'S MORE , . V V 4" A k OIL HEAT INSTITUTE Medford Heating Oil Dealers Ike Plans To Slug Back seen him in a happier mood.'
