Home 1 6,0 0 0 Program to Boost, Better Supply The state public service commission Monday announced it had authorized the city of Columbus water utility to construct a new well and pumphouse and to install a pump at a cost of $8,800. The city will spend an additional $8,000 to recondition present equipment.

The utility said the necessity for an increased water supply is due to the failure of the source of supply to furnish enough water without excessive demands on the present well which was constructed in 1909, and because the well, reconditioned in 1927 must be again reconditioned.

Allowances to amiliesRaised WASHINGTON (P) Agreement by the senate and house today assured congressional approval of bigger government pay-checks for the families that servicemen are leaving behind. Without dissent, the house Monday joined the senate in approving service family allowances of $50 monthly for a wife, $30 for the first child and $20 for each additional child. That means $100 a month for a wife and two children, compared with the present allow- ance of $72 for a family of that size. The measure returned -to the senate for concurrence on amend-1 ments, the only technicality be-1 tween it and the presidents desk for signing.

Quick senate agreement was seen as a foregone conclusion. The higher allowances will not take any bigger bite out of the servicemans paycheck. Under the new bill he will continue to contribute $22 a month toward his familys support. Sgt. Marsh Rites Are on Wednesday SOLDIERS GROVE, Wis.

Community Activities Stop for Services By STERLING SORENSEN (Of The Capital Times Staff) BELLEVILLE, Wis. In one of the largest funerals this village ever witnessed, an American soldier received the last tributes and honors of the sorrowing home folks neighbors, classmates, friends and acquaintances of a lifetime at rites here Monday afternoon for Bernard G.

Baebler. The 21-year-old army air corps aviation cadet was killed last Wednesday in a mid-air plane crash at Eagle Pass, Tex. The silver wings he would have received on Nov. 1, now go to his widow and the two-week old son he never saw. Places Close All business places were closed and the village streets deserted as an entire community joined in expressing its heartfelt sympathy.

The white, belfried Methodist church was far too small to hold those who turned out for the services, and the number of persons who could not be accommodated within the church was greater than those who were inside. Three other Belleville soldiers of this war have paid the supreme sacrifice, but lie in graves on overseas hattlefronts. The Rev. Oscar Stanke," pastor of the Methodist church, and Lieut. M.

C. Waldrup, chaplain at Truax field, Madison, conducted the funeral rites at the church. Six Truax field sergeants served as pallbearers, and there was a bugler from the air corps field. Brooklyn Legionnaires formed the color guard the squad that fired the final three volleys of shot over the grave. Color Guard Present After brief rites at the Becker funeral home, the funeral cortege moved to the Methodist church.

Floral tributes from relatives and friends along with a large wreath from the aviation cadets Eagle Pass classmates flanked the casket. The color guard stood alongside the bier, holding the Stars and Stripes and the Legion banner. Over the casket was draped an American flag. Many of those who attended the services had sons and husbands in service, and therefore felt a closer kinship with the bereaved wife, parents and brother. With reverent dignity, the Rev.

Mr. Stanke told of Cadet Baeb-lers life his birth here on May 16. 1922, that he taught Sunday school at the church where the rites were held, of his graduation from the local high school in 1939 and his enrollment at the University of Wisconsin. Cadet Baebler enlisted in the air corps on July 8, 1942, and was called into active service on Jan. 10, receiving his early training at San Antonio, Tex.

And he named the immediate family the widow, the former Lois Zurbuchin, of Madison; the young son, Randall Arthur; the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Baebler, and the brother, Arthur. Not Given In Vain He laid down his life, but has not given it in vain, the clergyman said, as he expressed, the sorrow all felt in the death of one of Bellevilles soldiers. Everything that can be said of our sorrow and sympathy has been said, he continued, and the bereaved family has the understanding of every American parent who has to face the tragedy of death.

Chaplain Waldrup pointed out that the death of the hero soldier was not the first and may not be the last for this community. He added: Every man in uniform and every home with a service star in its window faces the possibility of death. The chaplain said that the ways of man are the ways of heartbreak, death, destructon, disappointment and misery, but that Gods ways are those of peace, happiness and contentment. Turn to Gods Ways Let us then turn to Gods ways, he urged. If we as a nation follow in the ways of God, we wont again face the tragedy and catastrophe of war such as we know it today.

Chaplain Waldrup conducted the rites at the grave, around which stood bareheaded throngs in the brilliant auttimn sunlight. There were the last taps and the volleys of shot for the American soldier. And as the casket was about to be lowered into the grave, the American flag was removed, carefully folded, and presented to the widow. Two Boys Admit Richland Holdup Two 16-year-old boys, one of them a Madisonian, confessed today that they held up a store at Sugar Grove, Richland county, a week ago, according to police.

Burmeister. Tuesday, the local boy picked up a friend near Sugar Grove. The two held up the store, secured $11 cash, and drove to Chicago, remaining there until they returned to Madison Monday. BIRCHWOOD MAN DEAD Thomas C. Bowden, 79, Birch-wood, died at a Madison hospital Sunday.
