Ode of our teen-agers mentioned the need tor continued care it driving on our streets as well as highways. Some of the recreational activities have ceased and this makes for more children playing on sidewalks and in the streets. Both parents and drivers should bo even more alert to the dangers ot serious accidents. We have been fortunate this summer, lot us keep the record above par. Take care! 0 0 Most all is In readiness for the start ot school in the near future. Faculty lists are being announced, schools are being refurnished and fast vacation trips are being made. Despite the general, goodnatured grumbling on the part of •ome school • agers, the routine and close companionships of school are missed during vacation periods. Most young people get around enough to recognise the need for further schooling and are willing to sacrifice some 'Tun” for advancement and preparation tor higher education. Competition has often been called the life of trade and it has become the basis of a broad education, as well. 0 o The following Is a reprint from the Kendallville News-Sun and in as much as it is concerned with a problem that is similar to our own, we thought that our readers might be interested. • i Logical Stand: — The city council has taken a decisive and far reaching stand in voting not to expand the municipal light and power plant. For weeks this has been a momentous issue and has given most of the citisens deep concern. But the dramatic end came suddenly. Many, many hours have been spent by the city solons and the city’s official family in discussing pro and coh to sell the municipal plant to a private corporation and let it generate the power. Millions of dollars are involved and the future fate of-the power situation together with rates naturally are of great interest. Operation of the city light and water plant is a tremendous and vast undertaking. Engineers skilled in electrical operations and mechanics are required to be in charge. The continued operation is paramount to the welfare of-the city. With many thousands of electrical appliances and industrial operations, the very life of the oity and its environs are dependent upon the operation of this electrical unit without interruption. Citisens of Kendallville were in-

formed in glaring headlines of the News-Sun Monday that the offer of the Indiana & Michigan Electric Company to buy the plant for 11,181,500 would likely be acted upon but only a handful ot apparently interested citisens was present at the Tuesday night council session. , * Ts the tiny crowd was a general expression of the entire group ot consumers of electrical power: then it seems that the vast majority was willing to abide by any decision the council might make, and by the same token should have no ax to grind relative to the future power situation. In other words, it seems the Kendallville public is willing to vest its confidence in the city council whom it elected last November. For over a half eentury the city’s light plant has been municipally operated. It has been a struggle and many a day the midnight oil was burned as improvements and expansion issues developed, discussed and solved, all temporarily. Heavy bond issues resulted. There has been a bit of sentiment connected with the city disposing of the plant to a private corporation and there are some skeptical ones who declare once the city loses operation of the plant up will go the rates. However, with the Indiana Public Service Commission bolding forth and the experience of private corporations in other cities similar to Kendallville, such has pot been the case. There has been a far cry that Kendallville needs more electric power. The I. & M. Company agrees to provide the city with unlimited electric power. This gesture, in turn, would be an incentive to bring new industries to the community — . ample electric power and water being two musts. Kendallville’s utility bonded indebtedness is some $400,000, If L & M. takes over the plant,; this debt would be liquidated and some $781,50Q returned to the general fund. To expand the plant it is estimated that 12,500,000 revenue bond issue would be required to double the electric energy and meet an anticipated load growth, until 1965. As time goes on improvements in the electrical field have advanced by leaps and bounds and experienced electrical engineers, keyed with the latest information, are essential. Thus, from a business standpoint, based on the figures advanced. the logical things seems to be, is sell the plant and bring some relief to a tax burdensome, - weary Kendallville public.

Illinois Auditor Is Removed To Prison G.O.P. Leader Will Serve Long Term CHESTER, XIL (UP) — Deposed State Auditor Orville E. Hodge, sentenced to state prison for his one million-dojlar raid on the state treasury, began prison life today with the prospect of soon pounding rocks in a quarry. Hodge arrived at Menard State Prison Monday night after being sentenced to 12 to 15 years in prison following his plea of guilty to embezslement in a gigantic phony state check scheme. Warden Ross B. Randolph said he anticipated no problem with the one-time political playboy. "In a tew days,” Randolph said, “he’ll be just another number." The warden also revealed th<e was a possibility Hodge would go to work at the prison’s rock quarry and pound rocks to restore his health. Hodge suffered a nervous reaction to the scandal and was hospitalised after being jailed about a week ago pending sentencing. Hodge was given No. 25303, fingerprinted, photographed, showered and dressed in an olive drab coverall shortly after entering the prison where hell be observed for two weeks in the diagnostic center. The diagnostic program will determine to which state prison dodge finally will ha sent. Hodge’s sentence was imposed by Circuit Judge Clem Smith and was short of the demand by the 3tate that the ousted auditor be imprisoned for the 'Test of his life.” It was also below the 20-year sentence given Hodge by a federal judge for misapplication of date funds in federally insured banks. Hodge heard the sentence with his eyes closed, and then fell back into a chair weeping. His composure, however, was later regained and he appeared in better spirits when he arrived at the state prison. ;■

Suit Is Filed By Strikebound Plant Kohler Co. Sues City Os Sheboygan SHEBOYGAN. Wis. (UP)—The strikebound Kohler Co. has filed a $00,510 suit against the city ot Sheboygan for damages resulting from a riot which prevented unloading of a clay boat July 5, 1965. The plumbingware firm, strikebound for more than two years by a local of the United Auto Workers, had a previous claim against the city turned down on grounds that such matters should be handled in court. The suit was brought Monday under a Wisconsin law which the firm says “makes a city liable tor injuries to persons or property by a mob or a riot within its limits." Kohler Co. officials also said the law provides the city “may recover all such claims and costs from all persons engaged in inflicting the Injury. At least 4>ue ot these, the UAW-CIO, should be good for the amount of the damages,'* The firm said the mayor of Sheboygan “appeased, encouraged, aided and abetted" the rioters in preventing a Norwegian freighter from unloading its cargo of clay for the firm. Alvin Fennig Hurt In Factory Mishap Alvin Penning of West Madison street, an employe of the KrickTyndall Tile Mill, suffered painful burns to his hands in an accident at the mill last week. He sustained the bums when a drag line caught fire. It is reported that he will not be able to work for two or three weeks. e
