SITUATION AT' UTILITIES CO. STILL CRITICAL o' Although six oars of coal were received by the Nappanee Utilities Company during the past week, each car containing approximately fifty tons of coal the need for conserving of electricity is still necessary and every user urged to take all precautions to conserve. The coal received, added to the supply on hand now places the local plant in a position to operate for about two weeks ,the plant using about three and a half carloads each week Under normal times. The need for sparing use of electrical energy will remain until such time as the miners return to work and from a week to ten days following as it will take that much time to get coal even if work is resumed. A check at the local plant reveals some interesting information and goes to show people are willing to cooperate in time of distress. On Thursday, Feb. 9, a savings of 3,000 kilowatt hours was shown over the same day of tre preceding week and on Sunday a savings of 2,500 kilowatt hours was chalked up. This savings was made possible by those realizing the necessity of saving, doing everything possible to cut down the use of electricity. Some cases were noted where peoplt were not cooperating but these were few and probably because the dire need for assisting was not realized. The management of the company, as well as the city officials extend a vote of thanks to everyone assisting during this 'emergency. Special thanks must be given to W. R. Adams, agent on the B. & O. railway. Mr. Adams did everything in his power to get shipments of coal through to their destination and probably only through his efforts were the cars' received here rather than being confiscated en route. Receipt of the additional coal makes it posable for the Community building to operate and basket ball games will be played as scheduled. The season will come to an end before another real Shortage develops. The management of the Utilities company regrets the necessity of curtailing service tor this is what the company is operated for but continued curtailment of

service is necessary. Water service is of the utmost importance and if the company is forced to do so all service could be cut with the exception of that operating the water system. Some people are complaining about curtailment of service here but many communities throughout Indiana are now in brown out the same as Nappanee and daily more are being added to that list. Until such time as an agreement can be reached between the miners and operators, people will be forced ito conserve fuel and it is hoped a settlement can be reached before the entire nation is paralyzed. STORM DOES MUCH DAMAGE TO ELECTRIC AND TELEPHONE LINES ’ Electric and telephone service throughout this part <x£ the state was crippled during the past week when the rain andn sleet caused many lines to break down under the weight of the ice. Sunday night telephone service was out of the question to those wanting long distance service, the Bremen line Joeing the only one which did not go out of commission. Workmen for the Nappanee Telephone company worked long hours to restore service to the local customers, at one time every Sural line being broken in some place but by Wednesday night all phones were back in working order, both local lines and long distance service. Only a few poles went down under the weight of ice, most of the damage being to breaking of the wireß. Electric was also badly interrupted and workmen were busy day and night restoring current to the rural areas. Some interruptions occurred within the city, some of this being from shorting of lines by falling tree branches. Tuesday night the rain turned to snow and by Wednesday morning wires had lost much of the ice coat and danger es further interruption in the service was past. PAROLE OF DONALD FISHER REVOKED TO SERVE SENTENCE Donald Fisher, 34, was taken before Judge Aldo J. Simpson l in the Elkhart circuit court on Mootey, pleaded guilty to parole violation and his parole was revoked . He was under a 1 to 10 year suspended sentence for larceny and will now serve this sentence In the prison north, at Michigan City. j

Hunger Tool Used on British Steelworkers One in et aeries of eye-witness reports BY STEPHEN C. NOLAND

NEWC'ASTLE-ON-TYNE, J England—A good example of the . strategy of the British Labor parly leaders in promoting their Socialist program is the use of the food rationing system to win support for

the steel nationalization project. Thia is referred to time and again by steelworkers as a warning to American labor, i Nationalizing an industry, means govern-: ment ownership; and operation of■ the industry. The government buys the indus-

try by fixing its value arid paying the owners with interest-bearing notes.

The coal industry is vital to Britain’s business. In fact, Britain’s whole industrial plant is dependent on the production of its Coal mines. The Labor party’s socialization plan calls for government control of the industries which can make or break the whole people. So the government bought and now operates the coal mines. Miner Gets More Meat Coal mining is hard work. The miner justly rates a better meat ration than a man doing lighter work. And he gets it. His wife also finds the food stores in the mining towns well stocked with scarce foods—foods which are on the ration list but are available only where the Socialists choose to make them available. The miner and his family thus are favored in their eating. The steelworker also lias a hard Job. He rightly feels tliat he is entitled to better food, especially more meat', than a man doing lighter work. But he dot# not get It. He doee not get food at the steel works as the miner can get food at the pit head.

HAHN-HOLDERMAN WEDDING VOWS EXCHANGED ON SUNDAY Wedding vows were exchanged at noon Sunday, Feb. 12th in the First Brethren church by Miss ! Carol Hahn and Charles L. Holderman. Bouquets of flowers adorned the altar for the double ring ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Virgil Meyer, pastor of the church. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Hahn wore a dress makers suit of mid-r light blue and pink accessories and wore a corsage of white orchids. The maid of honor, Miss Margaret Hahn, sister of the bride wore a burgundy suit and gray accessories and a corsage of yellow roses. The bridegroom, son of Mrs. Elsie Holderman, was attended by his brother, Glenn Holderman. There were 350 guests present. Mrs. Cora Stuckman, organist, played the traditional music for the processional and njcessionab and Barbara Sharp sang the “Lord's Prayer.” Guests were received, in the lower auditorium of the church following the ceremony. The collation was served .by Mrs. Thelma McClure, Mrs. Lois Priser and Beverly Hahn, sisters of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Holderman left after the reception on a two weeks trip to Florida. Upon their return they will ; 'eside at 502 West Walnut street. ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT OF MARY GIBSON AND CADET JAMES NOLI) Colonel and Mirs. Howland Allan Gibson .recently of Fort Jjay, Governors Island, New York, mid now stationed in Manilay P. 1., announce the engagement of their daughter, Mary Hutton, to Cadet James Miller Nold, United States Military Academy, son of Brigadier General George J. Nold, Assistant Chief of Engineers, U. S. Army, and Mrs. Nold. Miss Gibson was graduated from Marlborough ■ School for Girls, Los Angeles, and is now in her senior year at Wellesley College. Cadet Nold was graduated from Culver Military .\cademy, attended Sullivans prep school in Washington, D. C., aud it) a member of the West Point Class at. 19S0. He is the grandson of Mrs. Jacob Nold, of iffiippenee. A definite date for file wedding l has not yet been set.

His wife does not find the food stores in the neighborhood well stocked. Since mines and steel works in some areas are not far apart, it does not take the steelworker and his wife long to find out that they are getting a poor food break compared with the miner and his wife. They hear the Labor party leaders talking about “fair shares,” bui they do not get what they believe to be their fair share. Labor Party Planned It This is the grievance that the Labor party politicians wanted. It is in line with their policy of consistently creating small grievances and then offering Socialism as the way to correct the evil which angers the people Through union channels and the day-by-day work of their political agents, they remind ihe steel workers and their wives that coal is a nationalized industry while steel is not. They leave the impression, if they don’t come right out and say it, that a vote for the Labor candidate will be a vote to nationalize the steel industry. The hungry steelworker and his family can understand that argument. Hunger is a powerful persuader. Tricky Idealises >. The intellectuals, who concocted the Socialist scheme, pose as idealists, even to themselves. But when it comes to practical politics they resort; to any trick. They justify the creation of misery, as in this case, as being necessary m achieve their ideal of complete control of the citizen—making him their responsibility from cradle to grave. Conversations with union steel workers, including officer* of locals in the Newcastle area, revealed that they bitterly resent this pressure. But they dare not oppoee it openly, and they can i*ot dodge the temptation to vote more food on the table for themsleves and! their families.

WOMEN UNITE FOR WORLD DAY OF PRAYER j On Feb. 24, 1950, millions of women in ninety countries in six continents will kneel at the altar of God to pray. It is the World j Day of Prayer, sponsored nation- j ally by the United Council of j Church women and locally by the j -Nappanee Council of Church | Women. On this day, unceasing j prayer will span the earth, be- , ginning as the sun rises on the j ! Fiji Islands near the Intemation- j al Date line, and continuing westward until the Amen is sung in the cold Arctic more than twen-ty-four hours later. World Day of Prayer has been an annual occurence since 1915, and is inter-racial, initer-denomi-national and international in iscope. The order of service, as | long ago as July, 1949, was mailied to distant parts of the earth, | and is now- being adapted for use in 1,008 different dialects. The i program which is built around j the theme “Faith for Our Time” was written this year Michi ; Kawai, an American educated Japanese woman, and author of i one of .the mission study books ! chosen for this year, “My Lantern,” whiah is also an autobiography.

Miss Kawai was born in the ] village of Makido, of a Shinto | priest father and a remarkable mother. She was graduated from Bryn Mawr college in 1904, and on her return to Japan helped to found the National Y. W. C. A. in her country, and was its genjeral seoretary for a number of | years. Later Miss Kawai founded a Christian school for girls in 'the outskirts of Tokyo, and here | she still presides, as an inspiring leader of Japanese youth. In Indiana, more than 375 churches and communities will observe the day with special services. In almost every town, radio stations will give time to publicize the day, and merchants will add their cooperation by including special recognition of the day in their advertising. Here in Nappanee, we will join in this universal prayer for “Faith for Our Times” with which to 1 face a pessimisitc world. Many who call themselves Christians, 1 have put their trust in “Might and Power” and not in the living

God. God is at work in the world ,we have seen Him in the hearts of men and 1 women in America, in Africa, in India and in China. This evidence of God in Man amidst the chaotic conditions of the world is leading the world into anew understanding of prayer. The Nappanee Council of Church Women will interpret the theme by having a prayer period at 9:00 a. m. The chimes at the Grace EUB church will play for fifteen minutes reminding the people of Nappanee to pause for a moment of prayer wherever they are. At 2:00 p. m. there win be a service at the Church of the Brethren. On this day, Nappanee will be thankful for the opportunity to join with the people of the world in the endless chain of prayer for the high moment of prayer the whole year through.

HARVEY FIELD, PUBLISHER

MEMORIAL FIELD FUND RECEIVING GOOD SUPPORT * , .■ v WATCH THE INDICATOR One can tell the progress of the drive by watching the fund indicator at the State Bank. An indicator in the form of a football field is mounted on one of the pillars at the bank and as the fund increases the football will be moved up the field, until the goal line is eventually reached.

Memorial Field is assured by the early response to the fund raising campaign being staged this week. The Junior Chamber of Commerce took the ball in the end zone at the start of the drive and carried it out to the ten yard drive, with a pledge of $2,000. Reports from the drive in the business district and th£ factories indicate that the quota set for this 'group will be reached and probably passed before tht week is over. On Tuesday evening the Nap■'anee American Legion Post arried the ball for another five ■ards with a pledge of SI,OOO. Additional pledges moved the ball fifteen yards to the ' thirty yard line toy Wednesday noon. Reports from the residential district were slowed' considerable by (the poor weather conditions encountered this week, but response to the drive has been so fine that) there is no doubt in the minds of the committee that (the goal line will ibe reached soon and that the games scheduled for this fall will be played on Memorial Field. A number of questions have been raised concerning the Memorial Field and in clarifying these the following is written. The field is to be located on the southeast corner of he school grounds in the east part of Nappanee. The field is to run north and south instead of east and west as the present field now faces. No contracts for any of the work have been let at (the present time. Local contractors will be notified when bids are to toe received and given every preference on the work, other things toeing equal. Once finished the entire project will toe turned over to the school system for its use.. It will be? responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the entire set-up, which will toe self supporting and not tax supported. A complete list of donors will be carried in the columns of this paper, lack of space and the fact that the drive is incomplete at the present time precludes it from this week’s edition.

MAGAZINE SALES GROUP PICKED UP BY LOCAL OFFICERS ON MONDAY Four magazine salesmen, one girl .but 17 years old, were picked up by the local police Monday after complaint had 'been registered against one of the party. Peggy Lou Stephens, Robert L. Peck, James and Robert Echlipp, all of St. Louis, were turned over to the county sheriff following their arrest and are 'being held pending an investigation.
