News along the inflation front has been, for longer than we want to remember, that of ever rising prices. But now relief from that continuous barage of high prices information is brought by that great summertime institution—a boy’s front yard soft drink stand. At one particular stand, for example, along West Walnut Street Road, young Tim Bitzer, proprietor of the stand along with two other boys, reports that his prices are holding with last summer’s -- 10 cents.

Putnam County Hospital employees were granted a five and one-half per cent across the board wage increase by the Board of Trustees who held their August meeting Wednesday afternoon. This pay increase, which will become effective Sept. 10, will be met through rate adjustments. Manager Frank Baker said. The board approved one of these adjustments which calls for 40 cents additional cost per drug administration. It was pointed out that this should bring in sufficient revenue at present to offset the raise. Motion to grant the pay raise and to adjust diflg administration costs was made by board member Howard Williams and seconded by Charles Whitaker and passed. Board members were informed that the number of patient days in the hospital was at an all-time low in July. Baker said that the situation seems unpredictable since no trend can be established. While the average for the month is low, there have been numerous times when all beds were filled. The staff must be maintained to meet these peaks and to provide the necessary departmental services. While no definite reason for a decrease in hospital patient days could be given, it was suggested that it could be linked to a growing doctor shortage. Representatives of the hospital Employees Advisory Council and the Hospital Fail Festival committee met with the board relative to the proposed use of funds earned by the two organizations for the hospital building program. Four To Tractor Competition Putnam County will again be represented in full force at the area tractor driving contest at the Vigo County Fair Friday with four drivers, two senior and two junior, attending the meet. Those going to the area meet will be senior drivers Ronnie Smith Route 1, Bainbridge and Tom Price, Route 3, Greencastle. Junior drivers are Pat Carrico, Route 4, Greencastle and David Lawless, Route 1, Bainbridge.

In fact, Tim says, customers this year are even getting a better deal. He notes that he sold a little grape drink last year at 10 cents a cup but this year switched to 10 cents for all youcandrink. “We set our stand up and we sold grape drink for a 10 cents a cup. But we weren’t doing too well so someone suggested we add some more flavors and sell for 10 cents for all you can drink. “We did and we started getting customers.” Working the stand along

The board suggested that the two groups should draw up by-laws and bring them to the board for approval. Part of the funds now on hand will be invested in certificates of deposit, it was announced. The organizations indicated that additional projects are planned to augment their funds. Claims of $56,593.21 were

allowed by the board. Manager Baker pointed out that one of these expense items involved equipment to increase the hospital’s capabilities for oral surgery. Because of increased food costs, the price of employee meals at the hospital were increased by 15 cents. Baker announced two recent gifts to the hospital.

with Tim yesterday were Dan Rattrey, Route 4 and Tom Handy, Route 4. “A couple of people passing in cars stopped and a truck driver stopped and bought a cup,” he said. Although the local stand offers one of today’s rare bargains, indications are that it will be short-lived. The boys’ say yesterday’s venture will probably be about it for the summer. “We had to make some money so we could go uptown today,” Tim says.

Offering up one of today’s rare bargains, a cold drink at 10 c“ n ts for all you can drink, are Tom Handy, Koute 4, Dan Rattrey, Route 4, and Tim Bitzcr, Route 4, Greencastle, all proprietors of the 10 cent soft drink

stand set up by them yesterday on West Walnut St. Road. Ready for a purchase are Dick McMains, 408 W. Walnut and Darrell Patterson, Route 4, Greencastle. (Banner-Graphic Photo)
