Sheriff William Seidel said prisoners awaiting trial on a felony charge and those involved in jail duties that take them outside their cell area are now wearing dark green one-piece coveralls. The coveralls, have "Porter County Jail" wording oh the back. The prisoners' street clothing is locked in a store room with their personal effects, Seidel said. Since jail property might be damaged in an escape attempt, Seidel feehj the issuance of jail clothing to prisoners might cut down on possible damage since the coveralls should serve as an escape deterrent.

Mansfield Fails WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Senate refused again today to shut off a filibuster against President Johnson's bill to repeal section 14-b of the Taft-Hartley act. The action nudged the legislation just one step from being shelved for the year.

The final, formal interment of the measure for another year will come Thursday with another vote to stop the filibuster.

ThiOeand Ct'a-Cp lisndry hi SUFttiC2 CCIX CP UUISSl fZ7 Cilumtt test? Besides the hard work' of practice on selections by students, it takes additional work to arrange for the contest.

Helping tremendously at the Liberty event were members of the Liberty Music Boosters who assisted in various ways. Many manned refreshment tables set up in hallways to offer apples, popcorn and soft drinks to hun gry, thirsty students Meals could be obtained in the cafe teria. There was an information center to help anyone in need and ticket sellers, as well as cloak room attendants. Walking through the halls. music from the warm up rooms sounded well it sounded with each student practicing his or her own selectioa Comes Out Well It all came out pretty good.

though, when performed for the judge and any spectators who sat and listened in any of the rooms in wiucn judging was conducted. One dance band had a good warm-up room the school's boiler room. But it didn't seem to bother them. They sounded good while "warming up." Nervous giggles as students completed their performances were heard in the halls. And worried looks were seen as stu dents looked at the lists posted at each door which In the after noon were marked with the rat ings of the students who had performed there.

There was a big boost given to the contest by Liberty Town ship volunteer firemen, who took charge of parking, and in cases, gave a helping hand to a car stuck in the snow. The Liberty VFD ambulance was -parked at the school, too, but luckily it wasn't used for any emergency. Students Assist Liberty students also gave helpiag hands, serving as judges' secretaries or as guard at doors of classrooms allowing only "tagged" persons into the room and making sure a performance was not interrupted by entering spectators. There must have been many tired people after Saturday's event concluded. Some of Liberty's workers, including Director Castronovo, began the day at 5 a.m.

And sore, aching feet? There were those, too, not reportedly, but actually. There are many corridors and rooms and those interested in certain entries may have walked from one corner of the school to the opposite corner and back and maybe stopped in between to witness the events of their choice. How many scary, breath-holding moments were there? No telling, but at least one was recounted. A laree ensem ble gathered and arranged themselves ready for judging and the music was missing. No music, no performance, since the selection had not been memorized.

And the students were so sure they would get a high rating. But the day was saved. The music was found, the etoud performed with their student director and, you guessed it. got a superior rating. 'Got A First' There were music directors, grinning and proud of their students, giving an encour aging word where needed and making congratulatory comments as students rushed ud breathless to say "I got a first." Neat, clean kids, with talent and manners, all having fun while exerting the effort to do their best even an unrelated spectator or reporter could be proud of them whether they got "firsts" or Either way, those ratings are hard to get for the "inexperienced" junior high students, who may be performing for the first time in a contest as well as for the "profession- .1" hik have already competed two or three years.
