' Ik i Bl ‘ ‘ w HI Miss Iverna Werling

Longtime School Secretary Quits

An era in the superintendent of public school’s office in Decatur high school comes to a close this summer, with the resignation of Miss Iverna Werling. Mrs. Franklin Bittner, 509 Mercer Ave., has been announced by the Decatur public school board as succgssor to Miss Werling, as secretary to' snuperintendent Gail M. Grabill. Miss Werling has submitted her resignation to the board, effective July 1 of this year. The wellknown secretary recently became engaged to Harry E. Cook of Findlay, O. The July 1 date will mark the end of an outsanding record of nearly 21 years of consecutive service as secretary to the city school superintendent which Miss Werling has compiled. Nears 21 Years She is currently working with her third city superintendent, or “boss,” and marking her 20th anniversary as secretary to the superintendent September 28, 1962. Miss Werling has become quite a -fixture in the superintendent’s ■office. She began work as secretary to the late Walter J. Krick Monday, Sept. 28. 1942. She succeeded Mrs. Victor Youngquist, who had * resigned earlier 'in September of 1942, after completing 17 ydars service as secretary to the superintendent. Third “Boss” Miss Werling served as secretary to Mr.: Krick for nine years, and then was the secretart- to superintendent W. Guy Brown for another 10 years. She began working for her third superintendent, Grabill, at the start of the 1961 school year. A graduate of Decatur high school. Miss Werling was employed in the FHA officers in Gary before becoming superintendent Krick’s secretary. Previous to her job in Gary, she worked in the federal offices in Indianapolis. Miss Bittner, the former Marlene Johnson, will take over the position July 1 of this year, but will work about two weeks prior to that date with Miss Werling in lining up the various duties of the secretary to the superintendent. County Secretary Miss Bittner is a graduate of Monmouth high school and had worked as secretary to Grabill when he was the county superintendent of schools. The new secretary to the superintendent was employed in the offices of the Monmouth school for two years while she attended school, and then worked another year and one-half after graduation in the same offices. She was then employed as Grabill’s secretary in the county supenintendent’s office in the county courthouse. Mrs. BRtncr has been the sec-retary-treasurer for Monmouth

schools for the past two years. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. Johnson of route 3, Decatur, and was born in Adams county. Her husband is employed at Eckrich in Fort Wayne, and the Bittners reside at 509 Mercer Ave. ■" a Mrs. Frank Bittner , Pentagon Military Requests Slashed WASHINGTON 'UPD The House Armed Services Committee—reflecting the mood of an economy - minded Congress—today cut nearly $243 million ’ from Pentagon requests for military construction projects at home and abroad. The committee approved a sl,663,472,000 measure authorizing buildings, hospitals and other facilities at military bases. Included in the measure were 10,000 new homes Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara said were needed to house some servicemen now living in shabby quarters. Those homes will cost slßl,519,000. The Defense Department sent to the committee — headed by House Dean Carl Vinson, D-Ga., — requests totaling $1,876,455,000. The committee whacked about 13 per cent from that total. Defense agencies had their requests reduced nearly 76 per cent mainly because the committee decided that a new $17.2 million intelligence building in nearby Arlington, Va., was not needed now. The measure merely authorized new construction for fiscal 1964, but without specific authorization for projects no funds could be appropriated later by Congress. The housing breakdown was Army, 1,727 units, Navy, 4,228 units and Air Force, 4,045 units.

| The People’s Voice I This column is for the use of ! our readers who wish to make i suggestions for the general , good or discuss questions of ! interest. No articles will be I I published without signature of I I the author. O O To The Editor: Memorial Day will be here in less than one week and I have a suggestion to "make. Instead of spending our time complaining about the condition of Maplewood Cemetery, let’s all of take our power mowers and ’trimming equipment and mow and trim our own lots. It we all do this, I believe the cemetery will be a beautiful sight for Memorial Day and we will feel much better in having a part in it. If there is any aged or ill person who will be unable to mow their lots Boy Scouts from Troops 60, 65, and 66 have offered their services to help anyone who needs their lots trimmed or mowed. Call 3-2974 or 3-9591 for help from the Scouts. The custodian at Maplewood has a mamoth job with limited help and I believe he deserves something from us other than our complaints.

Weather Warmup Is Forecast In State By United Press International The threat of more crop-killing frosts and freezing temperatures vanished in Indiana today with forecasts calling for an immediate warm-up and normal to abovenormal readings for the last week of May. Temperatures dipped into the 30s again this morning, but the scattered frost recorded around the state was less vicious than 24 hours earlier when the mercury plunged below freezing and wiped out acres of tender tomato plants.

Highs today will range from 65 to Che loi4 70s, and it will be in the mid and upper 70s Saturday from one end of the state to the other.
