MANUAL AND LIP SYSTEMS I John T. Rainey, superintendent of the State School for the Deaf, was the speaker at the Friday meeting of te. Greenfield Kiwanis Club. Mr. Rainey discussed various methods for.

the instruction of the deaf and' the mute. Mr. Rainey said that there were in the various educational devoted to the education of the deaf in the United States 22,000 pupils. Indianas school with near .500 6 the third in size in the country. The budget shows The other day the county welfare board adopted a resolution expounding a policy which, at first glance, would seem to be aimed at correcting some obvious abuses of the old age assistance provisions of the government arrangement, but which In practical application may be found to be so broad as to require amendment.

The resolu-' tion reads: That no applicants or re- clplent of old age assistance i -shall be -entitled to such as- sistance while he or she is the owner or operator of any automobile or truck." On the face of it the rule is to prevent persons who are receiving assistance, and whose Judgment is so poor and sense of fitness so faulty, as to Insist upon owning an automobile, regarded as a ulxury, and' spend public money given to them to be used for necessities, for gasoline with which; to joy-ride 'around the country. In such cases an application of the rule would be But there is another type of case. Lets describe some circumstances and then apply the rule. Suppose you have an aged couple living in a cottage in the country, and by themselves. They do not do any agricultural, work from a truck patch in the summer, there-: fore have ho horse.

But they have an old Model worth $20. They drive less than 1,000 miles' a year. Yet the car is il vital link. It is their only means of contact with the store, with the city, with their neighbors, the doctor or the church. Take away theircar? What have you done? Tell them to get a horse? Whats the difference? A horse would cost more to purchase and maintain than the old car, and would take-more care.

Heres another. Say a man has an old truck or coupe and with ij at certain seasons of the year is able to get but and make a little money which can either be used Difficult for Motcrists to Know the Requirements of thp Different Sections. i The appalling lack of uniformity ln giving hand signals in the United States and Canada may well the cause of many accidents, Todd Stoops, secretary-manager of 'the Hoosier Motor Club, said todav. the Hoosier Motor Club, said and three provices as follows. naTanraVa rl "nlnniKI Delaware, District pColuxnDiav Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New York, North Dakota, Pnnsyl- vania.

New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario. The most popular method of giving hand signals is as follows: Left turn, arm horizontal; rlgh turn. arm upward; atop or aowJ fm downward. Thia methojl la the law in seventeen States, four provinces and Mexico, as follows Arizona, Arkansas, California, Col orado, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, Alberta, British Columbia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and Mexico, Now comes the more complicated. systems of giving hand Signals.

Alabama, Indiana and West Virginia require: Left turn, arm horizontal; right turn, arm upward; stop or slow down, arm waved -up and down. Georgia, Nprthj Carolina and Oklahoma requirements vary a little as follows: Left turn, arm horizontal with finger pointed; rigjit turn, arm upward; $top or slow down, arm downward. Then Illinois, Kansas and Mississippi have their versions of practically the same formula, jas follows: Left turn, arm horizontal right turn, arm upward and moved down with sweeping motion from rear to front; stop pr slow down, arm downward. Missouri changes the mast popular form of giving hand signals. They retain the arm upward for the right turn; but instead of using the arm downward for slow down or stop, one must use tha, signal fora left turn and instead pf using the arm horizontal for a lejft turp, one must use that signal for slow down or stop.

Vej-mont requirements are: Left turn, arm horizontal witlj index finger pointed; right turn, arm horizontal; stop or slow down, arm horizontal. Massachusetts requirements are: Left turn, arm horizontal and point index finger; right turn, extend arm horizontally and rotatf. hand; stop or slow down, extend arm horizontally. Connecticut requirements are: Left' turn, hand moving frip and down, pointing finger; right turn, hand rotated; stop or slow down, arm horizontal. Now comes two States Maryland.

and New Jersey, where the motorist really gets into action when giving signals. The Requirements are: Left, turn, extend arm, point with finger; right turn, extend. arm and rotate hand; stop and slow down, arm toward ground, palm of hand to rear. Is it possiblefor any motorist on a transcontinental trip to remember all. the different forms of hand signals? Maybe but how much easier it would be if hand signals were adopted the United States, Mexico.

One favored the hand or manual method of commmunl-catlon and the other the vocal or lip method. For many years the manual systerii predominated and was most successful, tut In the last forty years the lip method has advanced. Mr. Rainey stated that the Instruction at the Indiana school attempted ot use both to the best advantage and that be- ginners were started In with the vocal method and kept under it until they had progressed as jfar as they were capable of going and then were switched to this manual system of Instruction. Sventy-five per cent of the pupils in the State school are under the vocal or lip method, and can the lips to' a degree and make themselves un-derstood audibly, many extremely The whole spirit of the school he said Is 1 to help those who might otherwise be liabilities to society.1 to be contributing assets to their community, good citizens, the heads of homes, happy and self support- ing.

I can use the oranges for possibly a week yet as when they thaw it' is almost Impossible 'to detect that they have been hurt, but after; ten days they will be unsafe to use as there Is danger of them fermenting. But now they make ground marmalade. Many crops will have to be replanted over the State as iwe had a general cold snap all oyer. 'Our water pipes froze 'and burst and shrubbery greatly injured.

I guess the Everglade crops are all gone as I get the radio pro gram, daily. I think they had harvested part of the crops already. But the muck land is very rich and quick producing and they will soon have it replante'd. Those fellows at Canal Point, and other Everglad towns, sure have courage. One man who was a member of our church when we were there in 1933, had lost crop after crop and then in 1934 and 1935 made good on cabbage selling at $60 dollar per ton, and cleared $35,000,.
