While many people have not taken the idea of collecting old newspaper seriously--even when air and land pollution are a bad problem and the energy crisis is even worse--letting your neighbor do it won’t get the job done, says Chuck Schroeder, director at the Putnam County Learning Center. Here are some facts Schroeder has concerning newsprint: It takes about 17 pine trees to make one ton of unbleached pulp. Other natural resources required to make this pulp are: 275 pounds of sulphur, 350 pounds of limestone, 60,000 gallons of water. 9000 pounds of steam and 225 kilowatts of electricity. By recycling, these natural resources can be saved and an effective fighter against the energy crisis, oren cellulose insulation, can be produced. One ton of old newspapers converted into cellulose insulation can conserve up to 1100 gallons of fuel oil, 15,600 cubic feet of natural gas or 13 tons of coal annually over the average uninsulated home in MidAmerica, according to Schroeder. While there may be enough
fuel for this year, we don’t know about next winter. The Putnam County Learning Center is helping to fight the energy crisis. They are now taking paper and
soon will be collecting on a regular basis. Take your paper to them at the National Guard Armory on Arlington Street or call Chuck Schroeder at 653-4400.

Membership in Kiwanis is a part of total citizenship. Ervan Holtmann, Division Lieutenant-Governor of the service organization, told members of the Greencastle Club at their Thursday luncheon meeting. “As a Kiwanian, I can better serve God. my nation, my state and my job.” Holtmann said. A resident of Terre Haute and professor in Indiana State University, Holtmann was making his first official visit to the Greencastle Kiwanis Club. He spoke of the many ways Kiwanians can make an impression on the community through their service projects. The speaker said that membership in Kiwanis gives an individual an opportunity to do things with a group that would be impossible for him to do alone. Also, his associations with others becomes a part of his continuing education. “The more you put into
Kiwanis, the more you will get out of it," Holtmann said in conclusion. Preceding the formal program, past presidents of the Greencastle club were recognized. Heading the list in seniority was Glenn Lyon, who served as club president in 1930. Other past presidents at Thursday’s meeting were Herold Ross, Frank DeVaney, John Poor, Howard Youse, Earle Boyd, Charles Carmichael, Arthur Shumaker, Darrell Gooch, Lloyd Cooper, Walter Frye, Keith Monnett, Robert Loring and Bill Marley. Inducted as a new member of the club was John Bergen, Greencastle postmaster. He was introduced to the club by Edwin Frazier and Earle Boyd served as inducting officer. Bergen became the club’s 102nd member. Visiting as an inter-club delegation from Brazil were Don Carpenter, Archie Hamm, Roy McCullough and Ralph Bolin.

Chairman of the board John J. Dillon chaired the meet.
It’s Saturday night and we haven't much to do so we go down the stairs, open the door and find ourselves standing in an entryway that is dark except for stone walls with phosphorescent designs and signs. It creates the illusion of being inside a cold cave with, perhaps, the remnants of small fires left burning. We heaivoices-talking and laughing--so we walk on a little further. Looking up we see two parachutes sort of floating in the air and on the w all is a huge rainbow. Glancing down we see that there are names etched with crayon on the concrete floor. The voices are all around us now and they belong to boys and girls ranging in age from about 13 to maybe 17 or 18. They’re sitting at tables
made from telephone cable reels playing cards, chatting and eating popcorn or potato chips and drinking soft drinks, coffee or hot chocolate. The air is fresh and clean--there’s no smoke; the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly; the mood is light-hearted and carefree. Investigating a little more, we find still another room with a ping pong table. Where are we? What is this place that offers such diversity? Questioning those around us we find we have entered The House of the Rising Son, a coffee house for students--created by the students, for the students and run, for the most part, by the students. The coffee house started as a dream of a group of young
people at the First Christian Church, which provides the rooms for it. This original group included Sharon Stamper. Jerry Torr, John Torr, Mark Hampton, Sandy Brush, Rex Baker, George Stevens and Kim VanZwoll.
It was six months before they got together with a few of the adults at the church and decided to try to make their dream become a reality. These adults who lent a helping hand were Dick Reed, Mrs. Kenneth Torr and the Rev. Morris Finch.
Each evening there is a host, usually accompanied by his wife, whose job is to just “be there." Also present most evenings is Janean Smith, a teacher at Miller Elementary School, who acts as a counselor whenever any of the students need someone to talk to.

The House of the Rising Son is open from 7:30 to 10:30 each Saturday night unless there is a home game at the high school, in which case it is open following the game. You’ve got the time, the place is the basement of the First Christian Church, and the price is nothing. The program for tomorrow will be sort of a talent show.
This group of people spent the last half of the summer of 1973 together, cleaning, painting, decorating, and creating a place which would become their “home away from home” from 7:30 to 10:30 each Saturday evening.
