This And That

The mysterious ball of fire seen by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eccles Sunday night was also seen Thursday night, according to Paul Stagge. He tells me that some people while parked at the Castle Implement saw a fiery orange red, small ball of fire Thursday night at 10 o’clock. It moved slowly from north to south and faded fast above the treetops to a small glow and then disappeared. Another man driving out West Walnut Street Road thought the

bright object was possibly a parachute flare. Other sources believed the mystery light was some left over Fourth of July Fireworks. ' 000 Mrs. Effie Wright, of Fillmore, writes that she had a surprise birthday party for her husband, Olyn, at the Double Decker this past Sunday evening. Others present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. John Callendar, Tammy and Troy, Mr. and Mrs. Claude Crosby and Mrs. Laura Tharp.

Thank you for letting me know, Mrs. Wright. 000 Police Chief John Pursell is asking Greencastle residents to take down their signs after holding yard sales. 000 Wilson Wheeler tells me that during the 30-minute rain Tuesday morning his rain gauge registered one and three-fourths inches of water. The Wheelers live southeast of the city. Mrs. Kenneth Wagle, who resides in the Reelsville community and is a cashier at the Stop N Shop, said they had no rain Tuesday. However, she knew it had rained here as the pavement was wet when she reached the Manhattan Road. 000 As of yesterday morning, 80 more persons had lost their lives in Indiana highway traffic accidents than at the same time in 1972. Certainly something to think about. 000

How many lessons Can a small child teach? Myron’s life was planned He left something to each. We now have a goal. We are trying to reach. Not to measure truth. Eternity, or sand on a beach. But to value the lesson. He did live to teach: That life, love, faith, and eternity,' Are given freely to each. Written by Mother Sadly missed by family Mr. and Mrs. Burl Clark and Family

Council Sees Voting Machine, Hears Hospital Report

Modernized voting came one step closer to Putnam county yesterday as the Putnam County Council saw a demonstration of the votomatic voting machine by Tom Barnes and Dan McGinnes of Computer Election Systems, Birmingham, Mich. While no official action was taken on the idea of purchasing the machines. County Clerk John Masten appeared before the council to illustrate the need for more efficient means of voting in the county. “We didn’t really think of this idea until we had to hold a recount of a recent election,” Masten said. “When we found a number of votes which were improperly marked, we began thinking that something needed to be done.” Masten pointed out that, although it had been some time, the county had looked into the possibility of purchasing other types of voting machines. He described this latest example as, “by far better for us in our situation...” The clerk estimated that the county would need about 150 of the votomatics. Cost of the machines was estimated at $230 each by McGinnes and Barnes. Among additional appropriations allowed at yesterday’s meeting of the county

council was request for $24,000 from the Putnam County Hospital Cumulative Building Fund to cover costs incurred from Engineers Daggett and Neagelee in preparing plans for additions to the Putnam County Hospital as well as plans for a completely new structure. Chairman of the Hospital Board Frank Ross appeared at the meeting to explain that the total indebtedness to the engineers was $84,000 and that $60,000 had already been paid. He further stated that at present time the hospital board has received a total of nine sets of plans, including plans for additions and total hospital structures. In giving an up-to-date report of where the hospital plans stand, Ross explained that through meetings with the commissioners, the board had been limited to a cost of $4,000,000 for the addition or new structure which will be constructed. He also stated that the board had been told that the hospital will be allowed to maintain the present 35 cent levy, which would, if set aside for amortization, amount to the $4,000,000 at the end of a 25 year period. The chairman of the board pointed out that the architects Pad made revised plans of the new structure and had also submitted two different plans for additions to the hospital. In conclusion he stated, “We are trying to

“We have taken this boy leader program farther than any other camp in the midwest,” said Pease yesterday. “The leadership experience the troop leaders gain is valuable.

ing venture,” Pease said. “This kind of program is more difficult for us (the staff) because it is easier for us to tell them what to do, or do it ourselves, rather than wait while the troop leaders figure it out for themselves.” “It’s a learning experience for us and the staff is doing an excellent job,” Pease said. Bill Cook and Tom Eccles, both from Greencastle, are members of the Camp Staff. Pease also emphasized that the camp needed money from contributions and that they need more campers in order to make the camp pay for itself. ‘ ** Warren told the group that the Boy Scouts of America had arranged for a Scouting Activity Accident Insurance for all youths registered with a Cub Pack, Scout Troop, Explorer Post or their leaders and committeemen.

The council also allowed a total of $13,600 from the cumulative bridge fund for repairs on two county bridges. The request stated, “...the bridges are badly in need of repair, and if they are not repaired soon they will have to be closed.”
