The Classic receives new image as Webster House
The Classic Restaurant on SR • 13 in North Webster is going through a metamorphosis of sorts, with remodeling currently underway inside the entry way, dining areas and lounge. Food and beverage director, Vince Leo, explains the idea behind the change, “What we’ve done is to remodel the whole area. We’ve created an atmosphere with a warm feeling. It’s a whole new image.” In addition to the physical changes taking place there are more changes planned for the North Webster restaurant, formerly known as the M & M, located next to Clarksville Pioneer Village. - z The Classic’s name will change to Webster House and the menu will now feature seafood, chops, steak and ribs. The Lounge By partitioning off the four dining areas in what owner, Joanne Gans, describes as “Phase One” of the new image plans, people wishing to enter the lounge will no longer walk through the dining areas. This provides privacy to the diner and yet convenience to the person wishing to take part in the activities held in the lounge. Weather permitting, the Webster House will continue to provide live entertainment and activities in the lounge which serves alcoholic beverages. “We’re trying to make the lounge a fun place to be,” says

10 YEARS AGO, FEB. 26,1975
The fight continues over the proposed Byrd development project at Lake Wawasee. The proposed project would slice 372 acres at the north end of Johnson’s Bay into residential lots and condominiums sites capable of accommodating 350 families. Existing channels to the lake would be widened to 100 feet and deepened to 10 feet and Dillon Creek would be re-opened. Donald G. Byrd, owner of the property, proposed last year to relocate his golf course and to build an addition to the dwellings a swimming pool, park and additional recreation facilities. Syracuse Boy Scouts had a first this month when holding a lock-in style party event at the scout cabin. This is thought to be a first in the county. Frank and Virginia Putt are back from several weeks vacation in Florida and a visit with Bud and Bake Cripe, formerly of Syracuse Lake. Bill and Grace Eyer are also back from a Florida vacation, as are the Bud Whiteheads.

The way to balance the budget — do less
By R.L. KOHLS Agricultural Ec. Depart. Purdue University The loud debates and arguments over how to reduce the deficit spending of our federal government masks fundamental questions. What should be the responsibilities of our central government? What areas are the responsibility of the local governments of our towns, cities and counties? What belongs to the states? What activities should be off limits to any level of government? All central governments — democratic, communistic, dictatorship or monarchy — must perform three basic functions if they are to survive. They must provide for the national defense against outsiders. They must provide for the internal security of their citizens. They must initiate and control the money that the country will use. Beyond these basics, the responsibilities and activities governments assume vary widely. Our founding fathers believed that the role of government in the on-going daily economic lives of its citizens should be severely limited. Additionally, they believed the role of the federal government should be sharply restricted; all powers not specifically given to Washington were reserved for the states. Until the prolonger depression of the 19305, the intrusion of the federal government into the economic life of the country was very limited. It helped build roads and railroads. It regulated freight rates and tried to control business monopolies. It set and policed limited health standards. In the thirties, it pushed into the economic and business activity by such means as initiating Social Security and unemployment insurance, fostering labor unions and collective bargaining, subsidizing farmers, and creating additional jobs through public works employment. This extension of the role of government into the private sector of businesses and individuals increased steadily in the post World War II period. A big leap came in the late 19705. Government became heavily involved in individual healthcare through Medicare and Medicaid. Welfare programs were greatly expanded and transferred from local responsibilities to the state and federal government. Various subsidies from the federal government greatly expanded to the extent that the federal government now has programs of assistance for state and city governments, housing, business, city transportation, local community development, college students, worker education — the list goes on and on. The attitude has taken root that if there is an economic or social problem, the federal government should do something to solve it. Currently, about half of the expenditures of the federal government go to provide for defense and the more limited and traditional government activities; the other half is used for air and subsidies to a broad spectrum of individuals, groups and businesses. There is ample evidence that

this growth of government has been accompanied by inefficiencies, waste and fraud. No doubt, billions could be saved if waste could be eliminated. However, it is an illusion to believe that such improvement would be adequate to balance the budget. Some suggest freezing all government expenditures at present levels. In time, then, we could work ourselves out of the present deficit as revenues increased with a growing economy. This, too, is an illusion. What should be the responsibilities of the federal government? If we decide that every program and activity now being funded is right and necessary,
Humanly speaking —
Eating disorders
By RICHARD MCNABB, M.D. Psychiatrist Over the past five to ten years, some psychiatric illnesses, which used to be rather rare, have become extremely common maladies. There are two eating disorders, at times hard to differentiate which now affect many people. One is Anorexia Nervosa, a disorder in which the patient almost starves himself/herself to death. The other is Bulimia in which the patient goes on food binges, gorging himself/herself. Quite frequently this activity is followed by induced vomiting. Both of these eating disorders formerly were primarily seen in children and young adolescents. By far the most common was Anorexia Nervosa. Children and young adolescents were at times hospitalized in general hospitals and tube fed, to no avail. They would then eventually wind up in a psychiatric residential unit where the treatment was far more effective. The basis for this illness, particularly in children, was an inappropriate expression of anger towards bne, or usually both parents. The child used these symptoms to cause anxiety and worry for their parents and thus came into control of his/her parents. • Bulimia was far more unusual and seldom resulted in hospitalization. The child however was greatly overweight for his/her age. Again, this was a way of expressing anger toward one or both parents. Approximately ten years ago, there was, and continues to exist presently, a great deal of publicity about the eating habits of the American public. Almost every popular magazine has at least one article on diet and it has made the American public extremely conscious of diet and exercise under the guise of good health. Those susceptible doom. Others will shout “unfair!” Newspapers, radio and TV will have a field day reporting on all the hardships that less federal aid and subsidy will bring. The growth in government assistance has created a situation similar to that faced by drug addicts:

Ripley, of Bronson, Mich., and her sister Mrs. Donald Sparks and Mr. A. , Sparks of Fort Wayne, surprised : Mrs. Schoeff, Sunday with a bir- ; thday visit. Mrs. Stephen Finton and son, Pat,, went to Dunlap last Thursday to visit with Mrs. Finton’s mothers, Mrs. Frank Immel. Pat stayed a few days with his grandmother. 50 YEARS AGO, FEB. 28,1935 Mr. and Mrs. John Grieger <♦ spent Sunday with his relatives in ( , Hanna. Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Jones and • family from Millwood spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Ora Benson. Mrs. Edna Hess spent Saturday < and Sunday at the Clarke Greene home. Mr. and Mrs. John Steele have rented the Beach property on North Huntington and are moving there from the Frank Klink v property. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Miller of Kendallville spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Applegate. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bushong were also callers. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Method moved to the Zerbe property on the hill last Thursday, as Mr. and Mrs. Eldred Mabie plan to move to his property here in town which they vacated. Elmer Dewart, who had lived on the Stringtown road, has bought the Theodore Hammond property, next to Mrs. Minnie Clemens and is having the house remodeled before moving there.
then only added taxes can close the budget deficit gap. However, if we believe that the federal government is too widely involved in our lives, then some of its present programs jand activities must be State and local governments rriay assume financing or the responsibility may be returned to the private sector. These are decisions we, - as citizens, must make before we can expect our elected representatives to act. We can be sure of one thing in the weeks ahead: all those now receiving subsidies and special treatment from the deficit-ridden federal treasury f will raise a gigantic fuss. Mayors and governors will cry gloom and
withdrawal causes shock and pain! What should the federal government do? What should it not do? One thing is certain: only if the activities and programs of the federal government are reduced can the expenditures be substantially reduced, adolescents and young adults, primarily females, have exaggerated this food fad to the place of harming their own bodies. Strenuous diets and excessive exercise have led to not only illness, ' but ultimately to an untimely death. An example has been the practice of exercising in wet suits on hot days which has resulted in death by heat exhaustion. It is the opinion of this writer that the greater number of current diagnoses in young adults regarding both Anorexia Nevorsa and Bulimai are a direct result of exaggerated normal human behavior. Each of us is conscious of individual nutritional needs. Each of us is conscious of his/her x need for a healthful diet, but because of the great publicity that has been generated by periodicals and by television advertising the American public has been subjected to propaganda that has led those susceptible people to over-indulge in both food and exercise fads. As in almost every aspect of our daily living, things done to excess tend to be harmful. Moderation is the key to successful living and productive life-styles. Our body tells us when we are hungry and when we need activity. These messages should be heeded to by appropriate diet and by a careful program of exercise. Appropriate eating habits, appropriate rest, and appropriate recreation are essential to good health. Appropriate, “up front” or direct working with anger is also needed for good health.
