• “Santa Claus is coming to town” -- So goes the popular Christmas song. And so also goes the announcement from Ken Eitel, Jr., co-chairman of the Merchants Promotion Division of the Greencastle Chamber of Commerce. Santa Claus will arrive on the Greencastle Square at 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 23 atop a Greencastle Fire engine, according to Eitel. The children will be able to talk to Santa Claus who will have a treat for them, Flo Morrison said. The Merchants Committee has also announced that they will be giving away a 1974 Vega this year.

Contributions To Easter Seals To Be Used Locally
Although Putnam County is now a member of a 17county southwestern Indiana affiliate, contributions for T.B. Christmas seals from our area will be used locally, according to David Maars, chairman of the Putnam County Lung Association. Maars explained that the return envelope with the seals will be addressed to Evansville, but this is because the area office is now located there. “While we are now a part of a larger area, our contributions will be at the disposal of our county committee,” Maars said. “They will decide what services are to be implemented here in the coming year.” Putnam County residents who have not yet received their T.B. Christmas seals should have them within a few days, according to David Maars. Maars explained that an earlier mailing had been made from a computer list of those who have contributed in the past five years. The new mailing should include all other families, however, those who may be missed can still pick up their seals from the office of the Putnam County Board of Health on :he fourth floor of the court nouse. Putnam County’s director on the 17-county affiliate is Mrs. Judy Mooney of the county board of health. Mrs. Ralph Bee, secretary of Putnam County Lung Association, is serving as director-at-large. Maars pointed out that last year, residents of the 17 counties from southwestern Indiana contributed $113,105 to the seal campaign. “This year, to meet anticipated needs, our goal should be
DR. WILSON SAYS
Russians ‘Curious But Friendly’
Russian people were characterized as “curious but friendly” by Dr. John Wilson, chairman of DePeuw’s His-
tory department, who spoke before the Greencastle Kiwanis Club, yesterday. Dr. Wilson spent his sab-
batical in Russia last spfing, 'visiting^ border areas and making ihe trip eastward by Siberian Transcontinental railroad. His remarks to Kiwanians were illustrated by slides.
He explained that his entire itinerary had to be approved in advance and prepayment, made before he was granted a visa. “The Russians are very security conscious,” Dr. Wilson said. “Even our luggage
Humphreys Named Outstanding Dealer

Phillip Humphreys, owner of Humphrey’s Wheel Horse here, has been named a recipient o^ the 1973 Lawn-Boy Outstanding Dealer Award. Humphreys and his firm were cited by Lawn-Boy Distributors, Inc.-Indiana to receive the annual award based
upon market penetration, customer service and dealer promotions. R.W. Lewis, general manager of LawnBoy Distributors, said the award would be presented later this month. He said only 10 per cent of Lawn-Boy rotary mower dealers receive the award.
was gone through while we were out of our rooms. We were advised by our State department not to lock our luggage because locks would be broken.” Package price of the trip, according to Wilson,, included guides who' could speak English. These guides also restricted picture taking. Bridges, tunnels, trains and buildings which were not of the best were considered offlimits for the camera. Dr. Wilson observed that there is no opposition press in Russia since the media is controlled. Newspapers from Western countries are seldom found and when they are, they are out-of-date, high in price and perhaps limited to a Please turn to page 2, col. 5

A line of thunderstorms hit Putnam County and the remainder of the state yesterday morning bringing high winds and beating rain but this time county residents were more fortunate than similar experiences last summerescaping with little damage. In Greencastle police chief John Pursell noted a few scattered limbs down on streets as a result of the storm. There were also some power lines down, he noted.
In the county, highway superintendent Earl Jeffries said there was very little damage reported. The wind and rain came after a brief courtship with Indian summer here in the county when temperatures were unseasonally high. Temperatures were recorded in the low 60s early Thursday morning. Officials at Terre Haute said trees were knocked over by the high winds, utility lines

BRUMMFTT. WF.U.S
State Ed. Directors For Men’s Hair Line
Wyatt Brummett and Lloyd Wells, local men’s hairstylists and co-owners of The Matador, were- recently appointed state educational directors for Advanced Design Laboratories, / the manufacturer of Image products form^n. According to Brummett, the two have been working in this area for some time now and received the official appointment due to their background, experience and knowledge. Brummett has been a barber for over 15 years and an all-around hairstylist for five years, and Wells has been working in the whole area of hairstyling since May. “I believe our success in a small town played a big part in our appointment,” said Brummett. “They figured if we could be successful as hairstylists in a city the size of Greencastle, we could advise others how to be successful. To a barber or hairstylist, this is the top honor. We both feel very honored to receive this appointment from the second largest company of its kind in the nation.” The two men will be traveling on some weekends to give seminars in the various phases of barbering and hairstyling to others throughout the state of Indiana, and, in some cases, in other states. The first of these will be this weekend when they go to Lebanon for the annual show of the Los Angeles based firm. Their main activity, said Brummett, will be going into individual shops in the state to teach the latest in hairstyling methods and to show the latest trends and products. Advanced Design Laboratories will also be keeping them up to date in these areas. One of the things they will be teaching is the use of the micro-visor which analyzes hair to enable the barbers and hairstylists to better serve
their customers needs. “The company has men who go to Europe to view the world competition for stylists to pick up the latest trends and methods,” said Brummett. “In the past most
of the new ideas came from France, Germany and Italy, but the United States is rapidly catching up. In the past we’ve had good knowledged, but lacked real creativeness.”

“I’m going to try to build this store # to a position where we will be able to satisfy all of our customers. I’m going to strive to buy merchandise the customers will like in order to keep their business in Greencastle,” said twenty-three year old Jay Jarvis, the new manager of the local Hillman’s Jewelers. Jarvis, a native of Terre Haute, worked part-time at the Hillman’s Wabash Avenue Store in Terre Haute after graduating from Wiley High School. At the same time he attended classes at Indiana State University, majoring in interior design and housing. He completed three years of studies there before deciding to stay in retailing because, as he put it, “I found this area of retailing to be fascinating; it’s constantly changing.” The Greencastle location is his first managerial position with the company, although he was previously assistant manager at the Honey Creek Square in Terre Haute. Jarvis, who came to the local store Oct. 31 of this year, said he still maintains an active in-
terest in design and also enjoys music.

Bible Thought For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.-I Timothy 2:5. An instinctive yearning of the human heart is for access to God. Jesus said, “No man cometh unto the Father but by Me.”
