WRONft TIME!

Tbe Walkert n Town Board and P<»lk - Lincoln - Johnson School Board met in a ymt meeting fest week and alter a lengthy disc u»i n. de* i led up 'h fast time fu both the schools and the town. It probably is the gjede-t convenience for all who have cf.i!dren in school to have t.ie ’• «*n and school on the -ame time, but certainly was the WRONG decision for the town of Walkerton. Last year quite a bit of cantrove; sary was an cd <vcr the fact that the school and the town were on different times. This year, this has been erased, but absolutely n • consideration was given to the business of the area and that is the phase that is really hurting. Not speaking against the school board or system, but it seems to be only logical that one of these days a little consideration is going to be given to those affected. Just because Plvmouth decides to go on fast time, against the time line set down. is no reason that a little over one-third of the school enrollment again need to judge the outcome of the Walkerton time situation. The Walkerton Town Board was trying to create harmony, but have in turn created as much discord as was held last year.

Tuesday. November 5, election day 1968 This election, a presidential election year, couM set an all time record for voters in this Country as one of the most exciting elections and one <4 the most controversial in many years will unfold across the country when the polls open. A presidential election usually follows a trend. Across the country*, many are swept into power on the shirttails of the presidential candidates due to the fact that many voters almost refuse tn split a ticket. This election could be verydifferent. With a third party candidate that is going to get votes, the voters will have to make a choice for the other offices. In Indiana, much is at stake. A senate seat will be decided this vear, a governor is to be named and most of the state v/fices are up f< r re-election to further spit e up the < ampaicns. Many county offices are on the ballot and consequently, a very important election will be held on all levels. Along with the offices at stake, the i sues << the election

It is also time they investigate the fact that most of the industry and business in Walkerton is associated with companies and firms on slow time and the loss of time involved can actually be a loss of dollars and cents to these businesses. In fact, several businesses are continuing on slow time as it is almost necessary to continue their business operations with their customers and business associates. The Walkerton Town Board is scheduled to meet again next Monday evening and we seriously hope they will reconsider the time situation and give a little move thought to THEIR people and at least get the Town of Walkerton back on a Bate that is more satisfactory- for ‘business.

VOTE!

Ums year are more important than ever. As has. been stated before, many key issues must be decided in the coming years and those elected this year will be the tines to start the ball rolling in our country again to return a more peace fui attitude to the United States both in foreign events end domestic as well. It is simple to say that no man can come in and make the decisions that the people want to hear right away, but with the senate seats that need to be filled and vs course the entire house to be selected, those who are voted into office this year will have to act on these matters in their term o' office. The important thing it han 1 now is that you vote. The government of i»ur country is chosen by individuals just like yourself. One vote can be a very big vote even though you are talking of vote totals in the hundreds, thousands and millions over the country, st itc and federal elections. Take advantage of M»ur greatest governmental piiviledge. an i be sure to vole on Tuesday, November 5.

The word Hallowe’en itself means the eve of All Hallows, o. the evening preceding the feast of all Saints. It was one of the customs of pagan origin which has come down to us greatly deteriorated in meaning ana form. Legend has It that the Druids of ancient England and Ireland observed the festival as a means of reJuicing after they drove home their flocks and sheltered them against the coming winter. Workers looked upon the time of year as the cloze of a hard year’s work and looked forward to the opening of a new year. Old fiiez were extinguished on pagan altars and new firez were lighted in the hope of attracting blessings from favorable gods. Hallowe'en became a night when supernatural powers were possessed by such otherwise innocent things aa broomstieks and mice and mirrors. Bashful swains were emboldened by the evening’s magic and fair ones peeped., iwto gUssea to romances-. For timid cauls it was a time to lock the doors and draw the shades against malicious elves and mis-chief-makers that were flesh and blood. Children began to don grotesque dlegulaes, representatives of witches and hubgoblins and ventured into the night to brew their mischief Have a Happy Hallowe’en and a safe one too. -MS G - October is pumpkin time ns jack o-lantern carvers and pumpkin pie eaters well known.
