Mrs. Boatright to again head Historical Society Bv DAVID BARR Banner-Graphic Civic Affairs Editor Florence Boatright was re-elected president of the Putnam County Historical Society at the June meeting Wednesday evening at Torr’s Restaurant. Other officers for the coming year, also re-elected, were Dr. Albert Reynolds, vice-president and program coordinator; Mary Jo Johnson, secretary; Mary Ann Trapp, treasurer; Cyril Johnson, chaplain; and David Barr, historian. PRESENTING THE PROGRAM was John Null, who along with Steve Aker, is mapping historical sites in the county under a state-wide project of the Department of Natural Resources. Survey work has been completed in Jackson and Franklin townships and is now under way in Clinton and Russell townships. Greencastle city surveys will complete the project locally. Eventually, all counties in the state will be included in the historical interest survey. Null said. It has already been completed in Illinois. Structures of prime historical interest are those presently in their original condition, or nearly so. An area in Roachdale has been designated of historical interest and similar areas are expected to be marked in Greencastle.
Fleenor veteran druggist said. Ingredients were first spread on a calibrated surface and rolled into a small cylinder about the size of a pencil and then cut to proper sizes. They were then rolled into pills, either by hand or in an egg-shaped device where they were rotated until almost round. Many of those who have been coming to Fleenor’s to have prescriptions filled have been doing so for years The druggist recalls that five generations of one family have been served by his pharmacy.
'Please, God, let me get away with it...
VANCOUVER. British Columbia (AP) The British Columbia Court of Appeal is trying to determine if God is a person. The court is being asked to overturn the May 1979 acquittal in Prince George County Court of Morris Davie on charges of counseling two others to set a forest fire near the remote Fort Ware Indian reserve in northern British Columbia. A police sergeant said he saw Davie drop to his knees and pray: “Oh God, please let me get away with it, just this once.” The county court ruled that the prayer was a private conversation between two people and therefore privileged and could not be used as evidence in court. Prosecution lawyer Peter Ewart argued Thursday the prayer should be admissible as evidence because God is not a person but a theological or a spiritual being. “The question is whether or not, under the circumstances, the words uttered by the accused constituted a private conversation For communication, there must be two persons,” he said. Ewart said that if God is a person then many acts of God, such as blizzards, floods or droughts that damage property or take life, would be violations of the Criminal Code of Canada According to Ewart, Davie voluntarily took a polygraph test in Prince George The police sergeant who gave the test left the room and went to an adjoining room where he heard Davie through a hidden microphone and saw him slide off his chair to his knees and make his plea.
Police say Kind’s attention was focused on a motorcycle ahead of him and he lost control of his own vehicle. . The Friday mishap was investigated by Trooper Mike Fiscus. Putnam County Sheriff James E. Towne, 19, Route 2, Coatesville, was arrested at about 1 a m. by Bainbridge Town Marshal Walter Huffman. Towne was charged with public intoxication and being a minor in consumption of alcohol. Timothy Chris Shidler. 18, Winamac. was arrested at 4 a m by State Trooper Ray Raney lor the same charges as Towne. Both were lodged in the Putnam County Jail. Putnam County Hospital Dismissed Friday: Tracy Turner, Lori Tomlin. Nancy Monnett. Howard Gregory. Judith Eiler. Clomon Estes. Birth: Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Hassler. Greencastle, a bov
thur, Groveland, and Robert Dennis, Forest. Ind.; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by a brother, Walter, a sister. Gladys Beard, and his father. Graveside services will be conducted at 10:30 a.m Monday at the Fillmore Cemtery. Friends may call 1-5 p.m. Sunday the Hopkins-Rector Funeral Home in Greencastle.
Continued from page I Over the past 60 years, there has been a succession of young people who have “graduated” from the soda fountain and have gone into other pursuits. “There have been lawyers, doctors and those in about every other profession who got, perhaps, their first job here while in high school,” Fleenor said. ALTHOUGH THE VETERAN pharmicist will be 89 years old next Aug. 15, he has no plans to quit work altogether. There are plenty of things to do around the house,

Kiwanis supporting local'Y'effort
By DAVID BARR Banner-Graphic Civic Affairs Editor A temporary board of directors has been appointed to determine the destiny of a YMCA for Putnam County and a positive program is to be presented for public consideration and support. This announcement was made by Ken Eitel Thursday noon before the Greencastle Kiwanis Club in the DePauw Union. Kiwanis is cooperating with other local service organizations in exploring possibilities of a YMCA. AT THIS POINT, according to Eitel, a program based on survey preference will be established, a budget will be prepared and a membership drive will be conducted. Previously, a countywide survey has indicated an encouraging response to the need for activities which might be coordinated through YMCA. If membership support is not forthcoming, this would indicate insufficient interest to carry
SIHSA directors stress local input need
The Southern Indiana Health System Agency Inc. (SIRS* > Board of Directors at its June 25, meeting in Bedford, reaffirmed their support for local input to the health planning process. THE BOARD, IN ACTION to dispel rumors and inaccurate information circulated after its May meeting concerning the functioning and relationship of the agency’s Subarea groups to the board of directors, passed a motion that “the board change the name of the Subarea Advisory Councils to Subarea Advisory Committees and proceed with making the appropriate by-law revisions reflecting a name change only at this meeting.”
he said, and of course, he will come frequently to his drugstore. For the past six years he hasn’t taken a vacation. “Our operation didn’t justify hiring another pharmicist, so I had to be on duty all the time,” he said. Beginning this weekend, his schedule is going to be more relaxed. He will be doing whatever he wants to do and, in his words, “If I don’t feel like coming to the store, I’ll just take a day off,” he said.
Ewart said Davie’s plea was a soliloqy or a monologue though directed to God, and he found it difficult to “see God as a person” in the context of Davie’s remark. “We’re saying God is a theological person, a spiritual being,” said Ewart. Davie’s lawyer, Keith Aartsen, said Davie’s conversation was meant to be heard by his God and not law enforcement officers. “It’s repugnant that a person’s prayers should be put in evidence against him,” said Aartsen. He said if a judge approved admission of such evidence, then presumably a hidden microphone could be placed in the confessional of a Roman Catholic church. Justice Peter Seaton said it is generally accepted that if a priest chooses to testify, then confession is acceptable evidence in court. Aartsen quoted the Concise Oxford Dictionary definition of the word “person,” which includes a theological meaning: “applied to the three modes of the divine being in the Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) which together constitute the Trinity.” “Presumably, Mr. Davie thought he was communicating,” Aartsen said. “In Mr. Davie’s mind, he was speaking to his God in a private communication ... I can only conclude that the accused meant the conversation to be heard by his God and not the police.” “With God’s help we’ll come to a decision,” said Chief Justice Nathan Nemetz.

through, according to Eitel. Temporary directors are all set to man a booth at the coming Putnam County Fair to explain the program and accept charter memberships. If membership response is favorable, the next move will be to incorporate and start a capital funds drive by Oct. 1 of this year. WHEN THE PROJECT gets off the ground, existing facilities will be used. A building for all activities would be on the “very long range” agenda, according to Eitel. Eitel said capital funds would be needed until after the third year of operations when membership fees could carry the program. A full-time director would need to be hired. Temporary directors have adopted the name of Putnam County Family YMCA since the proposed programs will include all ages and embrace all areas of the county. AS AN EXAMPLE, Eitel said an arts
Further, the Administrative Committee “ recommends the establishment of a task force made up of the membership of the Administrative Committee, the Rules and Procedures Committee, and two representatives from each Subarea Advisory Com-mittee-one consumer, one provider-with instructions to review the by-laws for any other appropriate revisions, establish a mission statement for the new Subarea Advisory Committees, and define appropriate relationships between the board and the new Subarea Advisory Committees.” The name change was approved in order that the Subarea Committees need only have a consumer majority of members as

EX-OFFICER PLEADS INNOCENT LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - A former Lafayette police detective pleaded innocent Friday to charges of conspiracy and aiding in burglary. James Morris, a 13-year veteran of the force, entered the plea Friday in Tippecanoe Circuit Court, and a jury trial was scheduled for Nov. 10. The charges were filed earlier this month. Investigators say Morris allegedly agreed to provide alibis for two men who were planning to burglarize a Tippecanoe County residence in April.

and crafts program for pre-schoolers could run concurrently with a physical fitness program for their mothers. Eitel said there are already a number of youth programs which few may know about. These would come under the YMCA umbrella. Memberships will fall into various categories, according to Eitel. For example, a full membership would entitle family members to participate in all activities while a limited membership would involve only those activities in which the member was interested. A program designed to determine the , feasibility of a YMCA was launched in September 1979 with Jaycees making the survey. Those responding indicated an interest in youth development along with physical activities. EITEL SAID THAT eight out of 10 temporary directors are members of Kiwanis, Rotary or Jaycees. The Kiwanis club has made a pledge of SSOO.
opposed to a membership that represented the demographic makeup of the health service ares. IN REAFFIRMING THEIR support for the subarea groups, the board expressed their continued commitment for the local health planning input. The directors said they “had never intended to eliminate grass roots input to the board but rather intend to improve the quality of the input by focusing on securing representation at the grass roots level of people who are interested in health planning rather than on getting people who would meet the legal requirements of composition.” The SIHSA Board also accepted the existing Subarea Advisory membership

Dear Abby This bachelor no fool DEAR ABBY: Shortly after we were married, my husband’s brother came to live with us. It’s been five years now, and I am a nervous wreck. He’s a bachelor with a good job, money in the bank, a new car, yet he has no interest in sports, women, church or anything. He spends hours in the bathroom getting ready to go nowhere. He’s an authority on every subject and has his nose in everything that goes on in this house. We have absolutely no privacy. When I suggest he find some nice girl and get married, he says only fools get married. My husband says we can’t ask him to leave because he has no place to go. What do you say? SICK OF HIM DEAR SICK: I say you should tell Bachelor Brother that two “fools” who have provided a home for him have had it. And if he’s not “foolish” enough to take a wife, he should take an apartment. I )KAR ABBY: I’m an adult woman, employed as an office manager. 1 take classes at college at night and work weekends as a volunteer in a nursing home. I am also the mother of three fine teenagers. 1 am happily married to a wonderful man who adores me. By the way, I am fat, I know I am tat and I’ve been that way for years. Last night I was offended by a slim, well-meaning acquaintance who said, “You don’t need that,” when I reached for a pretzel. Abby, I am sick and tired of people who feel compelled to tell me what I should and shouldn’t eat. 1 am fully aware of my problem, and will handle it or not handle it as I see lit. I am convinced that thin people do not understand fat people. I know this person meant well, but if she and others like her knew how their fat friends felt, they would keep their comments to themselves. Please convey our feelings of frustration, anger and humiliation. Overeaters Anonymous has a rule about not pushing a person into the program until he/she is ready. Please appeal to your readers to honor that philosophy. It’s the only one that works. HEAVY IN HICKSVILLE, N.Y. DEAR HEAVY: Strange you should mention Overeaters Anonymous. I read the following letter immediately after yours: DEAR ABBY: Two years ago you recommended Overeaters Anonymous in your column, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It saved my life. At that time I was grossly overweight and no longer cared • if I lived or died. (I was strongly leaning toward the latter.) Even with a fine husband and four wonderful children needing and loving me, I felt there was no reason to go on living. I looked like a fat slob and didn’t have the willpower to do anything about it. Every time I looked in the mirror I came away hating myself. Then I read an article in your column that turned the tide for me. I had tried all sorts of diets but nothing lasted. I wasn’t totally convinced that Overeaters Anonymous was the answer, but as an ardent fan of Dear Abby, I had to try. Today I am 75 pounds lighter, maintaining my ideal weight, feeling great, looking terrific and loving life. Please keep plugging this marvelous group. I found people at O.A. who were exactly like me with the same kind of problems. We all work together, helping each other overcome the desire to eat compulsively. Thank you, Abby. GRATEFUL IN KENTUCKY DEAR GRATEFUL: I, too, am grateful for another opportunity to tell my readers to look for Overeaters Anonymous in their phone books.
