committee to investigate this. We are definitely interested.” Mrs. Zepf disclosed that Heritage Lake’s interest in zoning preceded ILWD’s move to the Russellville area. “We formed a committee chaired by Phyllis Gardener to investigate the idea just for Floyd Township. “Since then, the landfill has come up. This did not come about because of the landfill problems.” MRS. GARDENER MET earlier with the Hendricks County commissioners to see if there was a possibility that Floyd Township could legally be included in that neighboring county’s zoning plans Hendricks County’s commissioners advised Mrs. Gardener the legal aspects would need to be investigated. The county’s attorney, E. Alonzo Deckard, told the

“There’s no question but what the practice we may allow for a period of time is a bad practice that should be terminated,” Taylor conceded. “But the question is whether it is appropriate to do it as fast as we did it.” EPA officials say there is a risk of fatal accidents or injury if dangerous materials such as paint solvents are emptied without proper equipment or trained personnel. Most landfills stopped accepting dangerous wastes when the new rule went

No Hoosier flu problem - yet

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - There’s no major outbreak of influenza in Indiana, according to state health officials, but they note the flu season is just getting under way. “It usually builds up to a peak in early to mid-February and tapers off from that point very rapidly,” Dr. Charles L. Barrett said Friday. He is director of the communicable disease control division for the State Board of Health. The number of cases of flu reported recently is “normal for this time of year,” Barrett said. He added the frequency of flu cases is expected to increase in Indiana in the next several weeks.

Track records were broken as those in night clothes made a dash from the cozy warmth of the stove, through a frigid bedroom and into a bed that had been getting progressively colder since it was vacated that morning. Body heat generated behind the stove was insufficient insulation to shield one’s person from a sheet as cold as pond ice and even with a mound of covers, it took a long time to bring the bed up to body temperature. THOSE FORTUNATE ENOUGH to draw a feather bed could burrow down and curl up like a wooly worm. This beat trying

Banner-Graphic the matter is still under discussion. “There is not much of an update,” Deckard said during a conversation this week. “I still have to get with the county planner. “I’M NOT REALLY SURE it can be done and 1 m not sure the planning department would want to do it. The (Hendricks County) commissioners are meeting Monday so maybe we’ll know more by then,” Deckard added. But actually, Floyd Township residents aren't ready to break away from Putnam County and the Putnam County commissioners stated they also would rather not see it happen Referring again to zoning, Mrs. Zepf said, “I think the county is waiting on a

into effect, Taylor said, and, “Outlets for that type of material dried up. ” Taylor said this created an equally serious problem: lgnitable and reactive wastes have been piling up at factories with no place to go. “We should be getting some fire marshals very excited,” he observed. “If these materials are not moved to a segregated environment where their handling is understood, they inherently present a risk of fire and explosion.”

Kristopher weighed in at 6 pounds, 4 ounces, while Cory topped the scales at 7 pounds, 10 ounces. The paternal grandparents are Don and Jolly Sheets, Roachdale, while maternal grandparents include Leslie Hiigel, Aurora, Calif., and Harvey Hiigel, El Paso, Tex. (Banner-Graphic photo by Becky Igo).

But in southern Indiana, just across the river from Louisville, Ky., the flu bug has landed with both feet. The emergency room at Clark County Memorial Hospital in Jeffersonville was packed this week. Six flu victims were hospitalized, and making matters worse, 21 nurses had called in sick since Monday. In Kentucky, the number of reported flu cases has risen sharply. “The number has been leaping. I use the word leaping rather than jumping because it has shot up unbelievably,” said Bill Loader, a spokesman for Norton Infirmary and Children’s Hospital in Louisville,

to warm up the whole bed, which couldn’t have been done anyway. Whoever first said that early to bed and early to rise was a smart thing to do must have experienced “going to bed with the chickens” because what little good he could do by staying up was not worth the effort. And rolling out before daylight also made sense when considered as an act to survival. After spending the night in a room where loose windows rattled and snow “snuck” in around the edges, getting out of a “nice warm bed” was only a figure of speech.

show of hands. We definitely would like to see the county pursue the idea of zoning and talk to all the people about what is involved. “WHAT THE COUNTY really needs is an explanation program on zoning - its pros and cons,” Mrs. Zepf concluded. What direction the county may take on the situation may be divulged at Monday’s meeting of the commissioners. County Extension Agent Jim Baird, who also serves on the County Planning Commission, said he will be in attendance to see what direction the commissioners may take. Hopefully, Baird said, the commissioners may set a date to sit down and talk with County Planning Commission members in an attempt to begin resolving the issue.

Taylor denied that the EPA is “retreating” from its original position. “We’re not talking about new directions for the regulations,” he said. “We’re talking about deferring a requirement to allow the people who handle these materials to physically catch up. We’re basically looking at two evils and trying to pick the lesser one.” Taylor said the delay grows primarily out of feedback from regional EPA offices.

which reported a 30 percent increase in flu patients this week. Barrett says it is too early in the flu season for state health officials to be able to isolate the predominant flu strain striking in Indiana. “In other areas of the country where they have experienced outbreaks of flu earlier, they have isolated a flu virus (Type A Bangkok) that is very similar to one of the Type A strains that is in this year’s flu vaccine,” Barrett said. “I’m not saying this is what is happening here in Indiana,” he added. A-Bangkok has been identified in 16 states, but not Kentucky and Indiana.

Dear Abby Her reputation is cruisin' for a bruisin' DEAR ABBY: I’m a 68-year-old widow, having lost my husband four years ago. Ira is a 70-year-old widower who lost his wife last year. She and I were good friends. Ira has invited me to accompany him on a Caribbean cruise all expenses paid. He says the rates are practically the same for a couple, and he would appreciate having my company. He said there will be no hanky-panky, as he has been impotent for 10 years. This suits me fine. Even though we would be sharing husband and wife-type accommodations (twin beds), he says I may travel under my own name, he under his, and nobody will care as it’s being done a lot these days. My children (both married) say, “Go!” My friends say, “Go!” I really want to, but, Abby, how do you think it will look? YETTA IN THE BRONX DEAR YETTA: It will look like you and Ira are sleeping together. * * * DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, an older male relative started taking a great deal of interest in our 3-year-old daughter. It never entered my mind that something could be wrong because this man enjoys a fine reputation and is a well-liked, prominent citizen. After putting several incidents together, they all added up to one thing. Child molesting! When it finally dawned on me, I didn’t know whom I hated more, the relative, or myself for having been so stupid. Because I never actually caught him in the act, I decided to say nothing, but to watch him very carefully to make sure he never was alone with our child for even one minute. I hope he reads this. I will be happy when he dies, then I won’t have to worry anymore. Please print this so other mothers will be on the lookout for sick people who are around them every day. OHIO MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: Waiting for him to “die” is no solution. (He may outlive you.) And making sure he isn’t alone with your child “for even a minute” isn’t the answer either. What’s to stop him from molesting other children? Confront him with the facts as you know them and insist that he get professional help. He is sick! * * * DEAR ABBY: One of the girls in the office is getting married next month. Her fiance is in prison and won’t be released until 1983. They will be married in the prison with only a few people attending. Is a bridal shower appropriate under the circumstances? This girl has very few close friends as far as we know. Should we in the office give her a bridal shower? We want to do the right thing. NOT SURE DEAR NOT SURE: I think it’s a lovely idea. Give her a shower. * * * DEAR ABBY: Please ask your readers to use a little common sense when they write personal messages on their Christmas cards. My 85-year-old mother received a Christmas card from a nephew who lives in another state. On the card he scribbled, “Every year we hold our breath wondering if we will hear from you.” Last year, this same idiot nephew wrote, “Your Christmas card was the first to arrive this year. We pray it won’t be your last.” Abby, please point out that elderly folks do not need to be reminded, especially at Christmastime, that they are not immortal. Don’t use my name or city, as this nephew is not deliberately unkind. He’s just stupid. FAITHFUL READER see Getting married?
