Frank B. Keefe, president of the aerie, made the presentation and Morgan president of the association, accepted the gift on behalf of the organization. The car was one which had been offered in a contest by the Eagles, but because postal laws prohibited advertising data concerning the winner of the car, the name of the person was never determined.

Notices were placed on the bulletin board at the Eagles clubhouse, but results were not secured in this way either. Not wishing to keep the car, the aerie decided to present it to some worthy organization. "The gift of this automobile has come as such a wonderful surprise to the Visiting Nurse association," Mrs. Davies said, "that We have come your meeting to thank you AS a group. NOTED FOR CHARITY "The Eagles are noted for their charitable activities both nationally and locally so that I am not surprised at your desire to give the automobile to some charitable cause, but to have it come to the Visiting Nurse association seems almost too good to be true because in the 25 years of our existence this is one of the most substantial gifts we have ever received.

"This car will go into service replacing one which has been driven hard for three years. From this you can see that your gift comes at a most time and I want to express opportune, deep appreciation of our entire association. "You may be interested in knowing something about our work. The work is in charge of 15 Oshkosh women whose administrative services are given without charge. We have three paid nurses in the fieldMiss Katherine Wienman, Miss Barbara Riefstack, and Miss Jullietta Johnson, all registered public health nurses.

CALL UPON SICK "These nurses make calls upon the sick in their homes. The calls are of two kinds, free and pay. Anyone in the city is free to call upon our nursing service. During 1932, the nurses made 5,454 bedside visits. "A large percentage of the service is maternity work among the poor where the educational work of establishing the proper feeding and care of new born babies is most valuable.

We conduct. a free baby clinic where an average of 25 babies are weighed "Another and branch measured of each work Mechat of anti-tuberculosis, financed by the sale of Christmas seals. We conduct free chest clinics, where many cases of tuberculosis are diagnosed in the early stages. Part of the preventive tuberculosis work is Holiday House. have given you this brief picture of the work of the Visiting Nurse association so that you may all know the worthy cause in which your car will be used." GIFT TO CHARITY In a resolution adopted by the Eagles aerie it was stated that the intention was to give away the automobile, but when no one claimed it, it was decided to present it as a gift to the Visiting association rather than to some other charitable organization.

The resolution further stated that the Visiting Nurse association is an organization, purely charitable in nature, supported charitable contributions and charitable efforts of many people and is doing splendid work among the poor of Oshkosh.

DAWSON PETITION FOR REHEARING TO BE HEARD BY COMMISSION JAN. 12 Madison- -A petition of the newly organized Dispatch Publishing company for a rehearing of the public service commission's order suspending its right to sell securities in Wisconsin will be heard by the commission Jan. 12. The commission issued its order after William Dawson, organizer of The Dispatch company, refused to present the books and records of the recently suspended Uncensored News, which he published. In his petition for rehearing Dawson maintained that The Uncensored News was a separate individual venture, not connected with the Dispatch company.

The commission's assumed right to investigate Dawson's affairs not connected with The Dispatch Publishing company was erroneously based on the presumption that Dawson would be publisher and manager of the proposed Dispatch, Dawson declared. Dawson's refusal to present the records of his former publication is working no hardship on prospective stockholders in the new company, he stated. The petition declared that Dawson has not violated any statutes warranting the commission's action, and that the commission has no authority "in fact or in law," to suspend the company's permit to sell class securities to suspend the permits of the company's two agents.

Lapp of National Rehabilitation Committee in Talk at College clared the speaker.

MOST INSPIRING WORK "Teaching would be a drudgery if the teacher just limited himself to classroom work, but teaching would be a grand game if the teacher would interest himself in the community work," stated Dr. John A. Lapp, a director of the National Rehabilitation committee, in his talk at the regular Tuesday assembly of the Oshkosh State Teachers college. "We need as teachers not only the ability to teach in the classroom but also the ability to inspire in the students the desire to achievement.

Lapp. 'Another requisite of the teaching profession is to greater understanding of citizenship in the students. People must continuously themselves even when they get out of college.

AUTOISTS AWAIT DATA CONCERNING LICENSE PLATES Motorcar Owners Anxious to Know Whether Time for Application Will be Extended by Legislature Automobile owners of Oshkosh and Winnebago county are awaiting further information from Madison, to learn if there will be an extension of the time for securing 1933 license plates.

Cornelius Young of Milwaukee and Jerome Fox of Chilton, both members of the last session have numerous supporters in aspirations for the speakership.

LOOKING FOR THE GUN IN SCHILDHAUER CASE jobless men were employed today aiding police in an an an an -inch-by-inch search of the vicinity in Cicero where Capt. Edwin O. Schildhauer, high school bandmaster, was shot to death. The gun was the object of the search, conducted while federal bureau of investigation operatives prepared to query Mrs. Frances Schildhauer, the pretty 24-year-old widow, who is soon to become a mother.

They planned to ask her about a trip to Memphis with Carl Bradberry, former deputy sheriff, and her companion in extra -marital affairs. Melvin Purvis, chief of the bureau, will decide from her answers whether she must face prosecution on a charge of violating the Mann act. Police Capt. John Stege, dissatisfied with Mrs. Schildhauer's replies to his latest questioning, pressed the search for the .38 caliber revolver with which the handsome bandmaster was slain a month ago.

He believes the assassin might have tossed it from an automobile after killing the bandmaster. Until he finds the gun, Stege admitted, he has nothing definite to work on toward solution of the baffling case.
