Sheriff’s Dept. County Road 350 South. 2**2 miles south of the Greencastle corporate limits was the scene of a car-school bus accident Tuesday afternoon. Involved in the 3:50 p.m. mishap were a 1985 Ford Greencastle school bus, driven by lister Haltom, 58, West Walnut Street, Greencastle and a 1978 Oldsmobile, driven by Kristina J. Williams, 31, Route 5, Greencastle. Children were on the school bus when the collision occurred, reserve deputy Mark Albright said, but no injuries were reported. Haltom did sustain minor bleeding in the upper arm area and Williams sustained bruises in the lower left area, police said. Haltom told the reserve deputy that he was driving straight ahead and the school bus was struck by the Williams vehicle. Williams said she was turning east out of the Robert Stinson driveway, Route 2, Box 336, Greencastle, and did not see the school bus. City Police Charles Meyer, 21, 446 Anderson St., Greencastle, was issued a citation for unreasonable speed at the intersection oi Berry Street and College Avenue at 1:15 a m.

Hospital notes

Putnam County Hospital Dismissed Tuesday: Mildred Clodfelter, Sharon Hester, Ronald Jaggers and Dennis Minor. Patter from page one filled to the spilling point was the result of impaired hearing. Previous warnings to carry out the bucket, before the final and firm edict, had somehow gone into one ear and out the other. Once this grease-laden and very smelly mess was poured into the trough, the pigs fought for a place to get their snouts in and consumed the offering down to the last drop with all the enthusiasm of a little kid licking the last of his ice cream cone. HOW ANY LIVING CREATURE equipped with taste buds could relish such a mess without gagging staggers the imagination and makes one wonder how intelligence of a pig should be measured. If a pig is as bright as some say he is, why did it used to take three persons and a dog to convince one that the most direct route from here to there was a 14-foot wide open farm gate? The brute was always backward about going forward, which, according to my grandpa, was because the pig’s brain is not close enough to the front end. But this same pig would work for days, if necessary, to enlarge a hole in the fence to body size to get from here to there the hard way. Creating more work than necessary never seemed like a smart idea to me. Leaving the discussion on relative intelligence for a little bit, it might be better all the way around that a pig will turn up its snout in the presence of a pawpaw. CONSIDER WHAT THE quality of pork chops might be if pigs scoured the woodlands and gorged themselves on the custard-like contents of what some call Indiana bananas. If what an animal eats affects the meat quality, such a diet could result in giving the breakfast gravy a funny taste and no telling what it would do to the grease used to fry your egg. Since some people have a taste for pawpaws and some for tomatoes, but not for both, perhaps it would be just as well not to relate intelligence to eating habits. The results might not be on the happy side. If gray matter between the ears is a measure of smarts, the teacup full of brains belonging to a pig should rate him far down on the IQ chart. THIS SPECULATION LEADS to a rather disturbing possibility. Could it be that the working part of the gray matter we think we have would fit into a teacup. For many of us, perhaps, there are days when we wonder.

pretty straightforward. They have a pitch and they present it.” The pitch, outlined in a speech by the state’s industrial development director, Mark Akers, is simple. “Working with government in Indiana is not going to be traumatic,” he said “We’re going to try to do what we need to do to get you started in business here. ” The program, which began with only a dozen cities participating, has brought a number of businesses to Indiana in recent years and continues to grow, Mutz said

DPU trash

ficials were taking corrective action. “It is on their own property and it’s not near any buildings or houses,” he pointed out. THE SANITARIAN SAID there is a very real need in Putnam County for residents to have some place to take their trash nearby and not to a neighboring county “This community needs some place for people to dump their garbage and trash,” he noted. “People don’t have any place to go with it, unless they take it out of the county,” Zeiner remarked. Although DePauw University officials were informed of the transfer station closure, and the need for a state permit Tuesday by Carroll and Zeiner, that still did not soothe the ire of City Councilman-at-large Bobby Albright. It was Albright who contacted Zeiner a week ago about the DePauw matter. The councilman believes Zeiner should have taken action to have the area cleaned up by DPU officials long ago. In addition, Albright said, Zeiner should have made sure DePauw University was in compliance with state regulations by having the permit from the State Board of Health. “I TOOK VERNIE OUT THERE a week ago yesterday,” Albright told the BannerGraphic Tuesday afternoon. “He said he has known about it since July 2. ” The city councilman said he contacted Zeiner, after receiving complaints about trash piling up at the Blackstock Stadiumarea site. “That’s just not right,” Albright said. “There are kids that play over in there.” DPU Physical Plant Director Jim Daugherty said Wednesday morning the university has made provisions for all its

day. Four still must have small repairs, however. Collins said many of the violations were the result of rough conditions on rurai roads that the buses traveled. At Martinsville, where just 23 of 63 buses that serve the corporation passed the inspection, Richard Cunningham, director of transportation, was confident the whole fleet would pass muster today. “It was little stuff that we were cited on That’s OK though. I’d rather it be small violations than something big because we were able to get it fixed hours after they found it in most cases.” GE donates to DPU science lab The General Electric Foundation of Fairfield, Conn., has made a $15,000, threeyear commitment to DePauw University. The money is to be used to support physical science at the university, either in physics or chemistry, said David Latham, manager of the technical support program for the foundation. “GE is committed to funding science and engineering programs throughout the country,” Latham said. The foundation’s educational fund this year is more than sl6 million, with $4 million to support science and engineering programs, Latham said.

Diamond said he found it worthwhile. “Rather than have to call up every economic development official in every county to get this information, it’s all right here.” He said he plans to return to the state next week to look at several sites. “I think Indiana does more than any other state to try to go out and attract new business,” said James Ruey, who helps select new service station sites for Marathon Petroleum’s offices in Louisville, Ky. “This is a real good way to

trash to be hauled to Center Point. He also indicated there was discussion Tuesday with Carroll whether DePauw’s Blackstock Stadium unit technically is a “transfer station.” “One of the questions was: ‘ls this a transfer station or not?”’ Daugherty recalled the conversation. “That particular point is not totally defined anywhere. We're actually using the same hauler and unit that IBM has. I’m not trying to belabor IBM because I think that is a very efficient way to go. “BUT.** DAUGHERTY ADDED, “because we do the same thing, we felt it would not be classified as a transfer station. Mr. Carroll concluded it would be classified as such ” The physical plant director noted the state official determined IBM deposits its trash in the one unit to be hauled away. DePauw University, meanwhile, picks up its trash from many campus dumpsters and then puts it in the largest unit. “Therefore, it was decided there is a need for us to get a permit,” Daugherty said. “We thought a transfer station was more on the line of someone in private enterprise collecting the trash and hauling it away to make a profit," Daugherty determined. “We didn’t think it would apply to a non-profit, in-house operation.” DAUGHERTY SAID TRASH left Tuesday at the Blackstock Stadium station consists strictly of paper products. “There were some Coke cups in there, but the majority is paper,” he noted. “Our food substances go a different direction. ” The mound of accumulation at the site Tuesday consisted of approximately “four days of trash,” Daugherty said. “I did go down there and look at it,” he said. “Of

Metallic balloons are unsafe near power lines, PSI warns

Metallic balloons are a popular way of carrying messages to friends and relatives. But when they’re taken outside, use some caution: Don’t let them get near power lines, says Public Service Indiana. Balloons containing metallic material can become conductors of electricity if they get near an electrical line, and could cause injury or a power outage. “We’ve already had one case in our service territory where several metallic

get a lot of information in one place.” State officials say the program is unique. The bulk of its cost is paid by the communities participating, which pay S3OO each. In return, they get the chance to talk directly to better prospects than they might draw individually. “We talked yesterday to six different companies for about a half-hour each,” said John Stafford, a planning commissioner from Fort Wayne. “That would have been the equivalent of days of work at the office.”

course, a lot of the paper and boxes are bulky It also looked as if some of the (trash) bags had burst. “You probably saw it after the final load had been dropped,” Daugherty assessed. “There was a lot of loose material The baekhoe probably hadn’t gotten there yet to mash it down. That’s how you operate this You fill it and then take the baekhoe to mash it down.” The transfer station holds approximately “40 cubic yards of trash,” Daugherty said. “We’re going to have it hauled to Center Point until we get the permit,” he added. THE PHYSICAL PLANT director said DPU constructed the transfer station when the Putnam County landfill closed. “Since we could no longer dump out there, we had to start looking for other options. “We went out to look at the IBM operation. The man that hauls for them said he would be glad to do the same for us,” Daugherty said. Local government officials need to direct attention to the problem of trash removal according to Daugherty. “Taking these trucks down to Center Point every day, and in the winter, is not the way to go. “Those type of trucks are not meant for start-and-stop operation,” he determined. “If you put one of these trucks on the road like that, pretty soon you will need an extra truck (because they can’t hold up mechanically with daily trips). “THE GOVERNMENT officials need to deal with this problem,” Daugherty said of finding a proper solution for trash removal. “You can’t expect a community to function adequately, when you can’t meet the needs of the people and industrial base.”

balloons became caught in a line and caused an outage,” said Will Prather, regional manager. Most importantly, metallic balloons shouldn’t be extended on string near power lines. “If the balloon contacted a line, the person holding the balloon’s string could be seriously injured,” Prather said. “Also, if a balloon becomes tangled in a line, don’t try to get it down. Contact your local PSI office.”

Rock Hudson, 59, loses AIDS battle

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Rock Hudson, for two decades one of Hollywood’s superstars, died today after a battle with AIDS that brought worldwide attention to the incurable disease. He was 59. He died peacefully in his sleep at his Beverly Hills home at 9 a m., said his publicist, Dale Olson. Only members of his staff were present, Olson said. He said funeral arrangements had not been set. Hudson, who starred in 62 films before turning to television which such successful series as ‘‘McMillan and Wife,” ended his acting career with a 10-episode guest stint on the prime-time soap opera “Dynasty.” He discovered he had acquired immune deficiency syndrome in mid--1984 and entered the American Hospital in Paris July 21. He stayed just over a week before spending $250,000 on a chartered Air France 747 to return to Los Angeles. Officials in Paris said Hudson’s health was too poor to make him a good candidate for experimental therapy. Olson said he died peacefully in his sleep. Hudson proved the most versatile of leading men, starring in such bigscale films as “Something of Value,” “A Farewell to Arms,” “The Last Sunset” and “A Gathering of Eagles.”

Pastor Robert Davies said the church’s two existing buildings will be connected by the addition, enlarging the sanctuary and fellowship hall in the process. The 40 x 29-foot addition will include a basement, Davies said. A request by Jack Cross to erect a garage at 817 E. Franklin St. was not heard. Cross, who seeks the variance in the RP (residential-professional), did not appear since paperwork was not presented to the board in time for Tuesday’s meeting at City Hall. The next meeting of the Greencastle Board of Zoning Appeals is set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5. PRESENT TUESDAY NIGHT, besides Loring and Mrs. LaViolette, were new recording secretary Judy Elkins and board members Jim Gram, Aud Walton and Jinsie Bingham. Board member Henry Mitchell was absent.

ROCK HUDSON

“Rock Hudson is the last major star to emerge from the Hollywood studio system,” a film historian once wrote. “He is a traditional romantic hero in an era when such types are exceedingly rare.” Hudson was rarely without work after making his film debut in 1948. After 61 films, he turned to television, starring for six seasons as the police commissioner in “McMillan and Wife’.’
