May We Never Forget

Monday. March 16. pat»*>d without little event for many, but for seme 5.000 plus families of America it was a day that may long be remembered .Just 19 years ago that date over 5.000 Americans lost their lives in the ba’tie of Iwo Jima This was one of the mo t famous battles of the Second World War. and one which has been immortalized by the famous picture and now statue of the Marines raising the flag aftei the victory Over 5.000 Americans from homes all over the nation men with different colored skins; men of Protedar.t. Cathoik and Jewish faith; nun with wives and children at home; men who were separated from the parents and sweethearts by the great conflict; men who wanted to fight no m re than tho c of us who remained behind trying to do our best in the se trying times and probably f»-e!mg half sorry for ourselves for the small sacrifices we were cal’ed to make; men who were fighting for a cause the cause of peace which may never be completely realized in this trou-hled-”'o r ’d v-e ip-e i”; i^rt their lives fighting for this cause Yet. on thi tiny is'and in the Pacific, eight Miunn- mi’es of volcanic ash and lava, one of the key battles will long be remembered Add to the losses of our own fighting men the more than 20 000 Japane^? soldiers who also came from similar homes in their land, who also lost their live . and what do you have 0

Let's Take A Closer Look

From tune to tune the question has conic up. "Huw about a sanitary sewer system for North Liberty.” The answer that North Liberty is too small or cannot afford it is obviously no lunger true. Hundreds of communities no larger or richer than North Liberty have found away to put Ln sanitary sewers and are now enjoying all the benefits When we look at the experience of other towns, we find that sanitary sewers cost only a few dollars per year for each home owner . . about the coat of having a septic tank cleaned Sewer assessments continue for a limited number of years, only until the bonds are paid off. After that, the sewers with all the benefits continue to serve for generations. A properly engineered and built sewer system is permanent and imposes nc burdensome repair costs. The increase in property values. which always follows the installation of sanitary sewers, exceeds the property owner's total sewer assessment In many instances, the property value increase Is several times the assessment And the cost of cleaning septic tanks is eliminated permanently Huw. then, can it be claimed that sewers are a burden to taxpayers* Sanitary sewers, wherever Installed. hav*- given a mark'd dimulus to bui’dine Peonle are much more Inclined to build In a community having sanitary sewers Building gives employ-

You have the result* of possibly just a very few power happy, self- centered and corrupt minded men who were reaponsible fur the entire war True a vi’b»ry was won. one that was decisive in ttw outcome of the Pacific Theater at that lime but what about the needless laughter of human life that was necessary for such a vi< tory How imjv rtant must a battle be to claim so much life that in given from only one” What respect is this showing the Father above for the many blessing . that have been be ’owed upon us throughout our lives and the lives of those who lived before tn?

Science Fair Displays Fine Exhibit During 2-Day Show ing At W.ILS.

The second annual Science Fair had 193 entries thin year and included the grade school entries from Walkerton Elementary and St Patrick Parochial School. It was conducted Friday evening and Saturday pfUmoon at the Walkerton High School. Highlight of the evening was the presentation of award* at 830 p.m Grauu unanipion was announced as a tie between a junior chemistry student and two freshmen biology entries. They are Jim Drake, son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Drake, who demonst rated violent reactions and rocket propulsion He specifically ahowed how various types of fuels could be made for rockets His feature teas sending a miniature rocket to the ceiling of the gym to a height us about 40 feet He hai been interested in rockets about three years and hopes for a future in a chemistry field. Jim Naragon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Naragon and Ken Murphy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Murphy, worked togetner to make an Electro-cardiograph It cost them about >28.00 they said and is powered by IX? current. The pulse is picked up by the electrodes on both arms and la amplified greatly. It is shen placed electronically on the oscelloscope to see the familiar bup Jim designed his own isolation power supply. The carthode oscillography was bought from a BLudebtiker clo >e out and had been used for checking welding equipment. The bratn, through an electro-chemical process, sends Stimuli to the heart through the apina! cord and vagus nene. The heart responds by beating Tile Reserve Champion was also awardtsi as a lie between Larry Bchmeltz. 10th grade student and son of Mr and Mrs. Orville BchuiclU. and an Sth grade math at udent, Mike Pittman, son of Mr and Mrs. Herbert Pittman. Larry had made a senes of animal tracks in plaster of parts and collected seeds of Indiana trees and showed how animals played a part in reseeding the w<s>dbdh He has tracked animals aonir three years and has become a hobby to collect Giclr print.

which ah began as a 4-H project, Mike demonatrsU’d how an electronic computer used switcJtuui to rvprwnt numbers u-ing Umbinary system. He had made a paney with four bat Ury driven .twitches and lights for the numbers. The grand champion and reserve champion were each given a plaque and Drake. Naragon and Murphy will be given an all expense trip to the Regional Science Fair at Manchester College in the high school division. The other plaque given was awarded to tile sth and 6th grade ciaaaroom exldbit from Lha St. Patrick School which was a scrap book on earth's change i It was headed by Busan Sokol, 6th grade. Slater Mary Floriette is their teacher. First place winner over all Elementary Science (general) division, was Mark Malstaff. son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mal ;laff. A fifth grade jrtudent of St Patrick School. Mark showed how a volcano works by igneous action Inside the earth and had on display igneous rocks created by the volcano. He demonstrated an active volcano with dry ice and alcohol. Second place was a tie between Bob Holland with a telegraph, and Debora Moore, a poster exhibit of the human skeleton, both 7th grade students at St. Pat's. Third place was alao a tie between Eddie Bick with a surveyor’s compas s and Ed and Bill Ziegler, a periscope. Eddie is from the Walkerton Elementary School and the Zieglers are from St. Pats. Elementary bridges category w», won by all 6th grade students in Mrs A F Dailey's class. They are, first. David Bulze with a large covered bridge made of wood; Edward Hahn, a cable bridge and Keith Dyer, a covered bridge made with tiny carti and horses. Eighth grade general science was won by Lloyd Knowlton and Craig Reed for making a heat furnace out of n cement filled flower pot. electrically operating. Second went to Francis Henley and Brad Church for u soil testing display. All four are Walk-

odton Elementary stud< nt^ Robert Rauen, of St. Pats, won third place for making a battery* out of copier, zinc and sulfuric acid. Categories in the high school include Chemistry, Physics Math Biology and Home Econumlcs Jim Drake was first in chemistry with his rocket propulsion Kelly Powell placed second with a flame lest and Walter Wallace third with produrtn^ *water Carlos Arce placed first tn Physics with electrical measurement by magnetism from an electric current deflecting a composneedle. Dick Martin was secund with a heat conductor and Dick Tener third with an electric motor. Mike Pittman wm first in math with his binary number demonstration and Harry Curti* second with magic square. There was no third entry. Biology had dT exhibits of 98 students and so ten place winners were awarded ribbons. They are first, tie, Larry Schmeltz with his animal tracks and seed collection and Jim Naragon and Ken Murphy with their electrocardiograph. Dean Vandal. Dan Charles, Gary Spade, David Dutcher, Murray Watkins and Fred Church placed second with a joint project on a rat experiment. Linda Keck and Sharon Bellinger placed third with a poster exhibit on the brain Larry Kaser, forth, with an invisible man; Jenny Safar, insect; Mike Pearish. Ross Divine, Marjean Cole, Karen Allan. LAnda Betz, a large model of a heart and lungs; Bob Lung, prehistoric animals; Colette Weller, hibernation; Donny Charier*, bacteria and tied for tenth place wm Bill Hiatt and Fred Church with the effects of alcohol on a guinea pig. and Jerry W’ibwn. Tom Kerchnert and PhilUp Patrick on plant growth. Sherry’ Wireman and Sharon IHlery. placed fir t in Home Economics with a miniature display of home care of the sick; Linda O’Connor, second and susan Brown third.
