Retired Indianapolis bank executive and civic leader J. Kurt Mahrdt tomorrow (Saturday) will receive DePauw University’s Old Gold Goblet.

Bicentennial Medal At Central Bank

Central Bank Sells Bicentennial Medals

F. M. Aker, President of the Central National Bank has announced that as a public service the bank is now offering for sale the Official State of Indiana American Revolution Bicentennial Medal. The Indiana Bicentennial Commission authorized that the official medals be struck to celebrate the founding of the United States. The medals are being sold by participating members of the Indiana Bankers Association on a non-profit basis. The medal design was selected by the commission with the assistance of the Indiana Arts Commission.

Many Indiana sculptors were considered and Hector Garcia, who is currently teaching at Fort Wayne Art Institute, was selected to create the dimensional models from which the medallions have been made. Suggested subject matter was developed by the commission, much of which is included in the design. The Indiana Bicentennial medal features the portrait of George Rogers Clark, the leading Revolutionary War figure in the Midwest. It also depicts a tulip tree blossom from the state tree, and a Virginia dogwood branch symbolizing the close ties of Indiana with the State of Vir-

KiwanisTo Help People Help Selves: Newnum

“Our community can be just as good as we want to make it,” Roger Newnum, newly-elected Kiwanis president, told the Greencastle service club yesterday. Newnum elaborated on the Kiwanis theme, “Give of Yourself,” by outlining major areas of concern for the club in the coming year. “We want to help people help themselves,” he said. To meet the service objectives of the club, Newnum said that this year’s budget is to be doubled. This could be done, he said, through the

promotion of Rose Day, wrestling matches and the breakfasts held twice each year. More time will be spent this year in working with senior citizens, according to the new club president. Recognition will be planned through a special committee headed by Ward Mayhall. Membership will be developed in two ways, Newnum said. An effort will be made to bring new people into the club and the present

membership will be called upon to become more active. The importance of the club’s relationship with other clubs of the Division was stressed by President Newnum. A series of inter-club visits will be initiated to realize this aim. “A little time and effort spent by each club member will make the coming Kiwanis Club year both interesting and rewarding,” Newnum concluded.

No one attended the public hearing in Bainbridge Tuesday night on the environmental impact of the north county town’s proposed approximate $750,000 sewer plant and system. The public hearing met a state requirement which calls for such a session to determine if residents have complaints against the plans of the proposed public project. With no complaints, the town board must wait to hear if its application for a federal Garage Sale Lasts One Hour The Greencastle Street Department did not have long to wait during its garage sale last weekend. “We sold everything within an hour,” street superintendent Dale Oler said.
