They have I place here as long as they need it.” The little family moved into the hotel a week ago after the man agement waived a rule against children in the face of Regits’ plight. However, they were stay ing on a temporary basis. Agosta said Regits had agreed to try and place the children in a boarding home, if one could be found, so that the boy could go to school. '‘They'll be taken care of ’’ Agosta promised. “You just can’t tarce kids out and drown them, you know.” Regits had explained that he couldn't work and watch his little family at the same time since his wife died three years ago. He was afraid the children would get into trouble if neglected, he added. GOES ON INDIAN LIST WARSAW, Ind. (-'Pi—Marian Carter, 44. pleaded guilty to drunken driving.
