The glass created the illusion of being full by means of a depression in its bowl, which in fact was almost solid. It origniated in the 18th century clubs of England, where the toastmaster had to remain sober enough to carryout his office. 000 “Marry in haste and keep up with the rest of the crowd.” In Memoriam In loving memory of my brother Marion R Walker who left us one year ago. Sept. 25, 1973. I often think of days gone by when we were all together, The family chain is broken now and I miss him coming home. But love and memories live forever. To me he has but gone away Nor has he traveled far, Just entered God’s eternal home and left the gate ajar. Missed by, Sis Wanetta Zaring And family.

We reserve the right to edit letters an d to print them in one or both editions; the preference of the writer regarding choice of edition, if noted, will be followed if possible. Opinions represented herein do not necessarily represent those 0 f this newspaper. Dear Editor: This letter is written in answer to one published Sept. 10 and written by Ray Mizer. Everyone in this country recognizes that the position of President of the United States is a tiring position. Yet, men continue to fight to get into the White House and to hold the highest office of this country. Why? Because it brings them honor and fame, and makes them feel like a king or a God. Our (pardon the expression) “famous” ex-President of these United States based his 1968 and 1972 Presidential campaigns on law and order. Much of this was due to the fact that many of our young people and liberals were blatantly disobeying the law and thumbing their noses at authority. We could well understand the position that Richard M. Nixon took for we, too, were and are in favor of law and order. This was one reason Dick Nixon was reelected. We really believed he meant it! Spiro Agnew was a man who was well-liked by the American people because he, too, wanted law and order and he spoke out against disruption. In fact, many Americans thought he was potential Presidential material himself. Both of these men were in the position of really doing something great for our country, but it was not the “yelping hound, lusting for the kill” that was their un-doing-it was their own guns, held in their own hands and fired by themselves. In fact, they committed suicide. They both believed that law and order was the thing this country needed most, For Everyone But Themselves! At first, I just couldn’t believe the news about Spiro, but it must have been true for he stepped down from his high pinnacle. Then, when the going got roughest for Richard, I still couldn’t believe it-even up and until he actually told it himself. Oh, yes, I had begun to have my suspicions, but he, too, stepped down from his throne rather than tell what he had or had not done. If Richard had done nothing, as he claims, why would he want to give up his high position. Surely, the Senate would not confirm his impeachment if he had done nothing, for he had many Republican friends in both the Congress and the Senate. Yet, many of his own Republican friends had to admit there was enough evidence to vote for impeachment. (And how can you pardon a man who is innocent?)
City police reported two accidents, one occurring Monday morning at 6:55, and the other at 8 Tuesday morning. In Monday’s accident, a 1971 Ford operated by Barbara Ann Williams, 24, Route 1, Greencastle, collided w-ith a 1974 Mac truck driven by John Sands, 27. In Hospital Floyd (Bull) Skelton is a patient in the Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. His room number is Y-502. Mr. Skelton is in the cardiac section for observation and tests.

Both Spiro and Richard tainted their high offices and not only caused grief to their beloved America, but also to their families who loved and trusted them. It was not the news media who killed Richard Nixon, even though we sometimes got tired of hearing their commentaries. He did it himself with his untruths and his covering-up what could have caused the end to this long ago. If he hadn’t been trying to “trap” others by taping their conversations, he wouldn’t have fallen into his own trap himself. The announcement on Sunday, Sept. 8th, by President Ford that he was going to pardon Richard Nixon actually stunned the whole country. Whether you were a Republican or a Democrat, it made no difference. Everyone (except, perhaps Ray Mizer) just could not believe that Jerry Ford would go back on his word after promising to uphold the law himself. When he first came into office, every Republican (and Democrat) thought that he was really going to breathe some life back into the Republican Party and the United States; but instead, he took what little breath they had left right out of them. Oh, sure, we believed he would issue such a pardon, and sure, we even felt that it might be the proper thing to do one of these days-not because Dick Nixon should be above the law, but because he had been our President. Ray Mizer is correct in one statement in his letter, Nixon has done great things for America, such as buying three houses with our money and traveling all over the world, using taxpayers’ money, so he can feel important. Then he asks the American people to tighten their belts; perhaps so he can have more to spend after he resigns. However, when Mizer speaks of Kissinger and Nixon bringing world peace, that is the greatest laugh of all. We wish it were true, we desire it to be true, but right now the countries where Kissinger spent so much time and made so many trips are gearing for another battle. Peace? Not so! Mr. Mizer also spoke of being able to do anything in Illinois, for example, and this isn’t so either. Wasn’t former U.S. Circuit Judge Otto Kerner just sentenced to prison for his alleged crime? He certainly wasn’t an unknown without money. What Ray Mizer has lost sight of (because he only sees and hears what he wants to see and hear), is that the United States has a man in the White House who has never been the standard-bearer of his Party, who has never been nominated for such position by his Party, nor has he received one vote of the American people for this position. He was hand-picked by his
Route 1, Bowling Green, Ind., at the corner of Broadway and Bloomington Streets. According to police reports, the Williams auto was headed west on Broadway, and the truck was headed east on the same street. The driver of the 1970 Ford, while making a right turn, collided into the truck, which was stopped. Damage was listed at an estimated $200 to the right front bumper, hood, and grill of the Williams vehicle. No damage was reported to the truck. At 8 a.m., Tuesday, a 1970 Plymouth operated by Elgin Smith, 55, Route 3, Greencastle, collided with a 1968 Chevrolet driven by Lenore R. Sutherlin, 64, Route 3, Greencastle. Officers reported that the cars collided as the Smith auto attempted to pass the Sutherlin vehicle on the left side, as the Sutherlin vehicle was turning left on East Seminary. Damage was estimated at $200 to the right front bumper of the Smith Plymouth, and $250 to the left rear fender of the Sutherlin Chevrolet Hospital Notes Dismissed Tuesday: Randall Whybrew Ruth Varvel Ralph Logan Ernest Nicholson Dallas Walton Janet Terry Earl Allen Donald Randall Mrs. Phyllis Wharton and son
predecessor, who is apparently guilty of something or he would never have left his office, nor would his successor have pardoned him for something he hadn’t done. We believe this was a deal in the cards before Gerald Ford was made Vice President. This same man has taken it upon himself to set a double standard for those who have allegedly broken the law. He not only has pardoned a man who has done nothing wrong, but he is considering pardoning several who have been convicted or indicted of wrongdoing, while many, many people in our country have done much less and have paid or are paying a much higher price. That same man in the White House has picked as his choice for Vice President another man who has never been the stan-dard-bearer of his Party, who has never been nominated for such position by his Party, nor has he received one vote of the American people for this position. Can a man such as Nelson Rockefeller, who has never known what it means to do without a loaf of bread or a quart of milk understand how to deal with inflation? What a blow to the Republican Party to have lost their "beloved” Dick Nixon, only to get another man in the White House who cannot be trusted or believed. Jerry Ford has done enough to the Republican Party already without sending Dick Lugar to Washington to help him. The Democrats are sitting back laughing, and laughing, and laughing. Sincerely Yours, P.C. Dear Editor: Construction underway, at the corner of Jackson and Berry Streets, has halted the heavy flow of traffic on West Berry. Trucks and cars are forced to use Sunset Drive and other neighboring streets. The corner of Berry and Indiana is literally being destroyed by heavy trucks. The sidewalks, lawns and signs are taking a beating because they are not equipped to handle the large trucks that pass over these city streets. I thought, perhaps seeing this destruction might move our city fathers to try and come up with an answer to residential streets being used as truck routes. However, one city official, on a residential street in the neighborhood, needn't worry about destruction to his street. “Someone” erected a sign at the corner of Beveridge and Jackson, the sign reads “Heavy Trucks Prohibited.” A Concerned city resident M. L. Frost —' Continued from page one state Friday and into the weekend. Ixnvs tonight were forecast for the high 40s and low 50s, with highs Thursday in the middle to upper 70s.

Lower Stocks Of Some Foods
The 'freezing weather that struck portions of the country will result in lower stocks of some food necessities along with higher prices later this year and in 1975. commodity market sources told the Associated Press Tuesday. The main concern early after the frost struck the Midwest was the effect on corn and soybeans. Later, grain sorghums were touched by frost along with vegetables and
fruits. After the frost, a quick survey of soybean damage by the American Soybean Association, a growers' group, showed that the 1974 crop would be trimmed by 50 to 100 million bushels. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its last estimate of this year’s soybean production, estimated the yield at 1.316 billion bushels.
