Veterans returning to their homes in this country remembered the wild poppies which lined the devastated battlefields of France and Flanders Field . . . and the soldiers of all nations came to look upon this flower as a living symbol of their dead comrades sacrifice. It was Col. John McCrae, a Canadian officer, killed in World War I who immortalized the flower in his famous peom, “In Flanders Fields the poppies blow . . . Today, over 50 years later, that little symbolic flower continues to pay tribute to those who made the supreme sacrifice in World Wars I and 11, and Korean and Vietnam Wars. However, it is more than a symbol, it is a source of hope and aid for many in our nation. It is a handmade flower, made by disabled veterans, as a part of their therapy and to aid their rehabilitation, they receive financial assistance for their work. In addition, the funds from Poppy Day are used exclusively for assistance to veterans and their families in time of distress. Each poppy tells its own story. No two are fashioned alike. And similarly each wearer of this poppy

NIPSCO REPORTS ON PROJECTED NATURAL GAS NEEDS FOR HEATING According to an updated report filed recently with the Public Service Commission of Indiana. Northern Indiana Public Service Company indicated it would be able to meet all residential, commercial and industrial needs for natural gas during the three-month period starting January I. 1978, barring

■ About a year ago, Indiana state government launched a program aimed at educating the public about measures that can be taken to prevent crime Our program was launched after an exhaustive study of the successes and failures of other crimefighting programs We concluded that the best approach was to attack the biggest contributing factor — the opportunity for a crime to be attempted in the first place Most property-related crimes such as house burglaries often occur with little or no forced entry required of the criminal and are? the result of almost no normal precautions taken by the wctim There is a great deal that could be done to stop crime if citizens are aware of proved crime prevention techniques that they can put into everyday practice Through the Indiana Crime Prevention Program and with the full support of other agencies and the private sector we are making these facts tips and techniques known The program encompasses special informational programs for the elderly, who are particularly vul-

any unforeseen curtailments by its five pipeline suppliers or diversions by the federal government. Heating demands of customers during the January through March interval account for about 52 per cent of their annual space heating requirements. The report showed that if weather conditions are equivalent to those experienced in January, 1977 — the coldest month in the company's hsitory — estimated total customer demand for gas in January. 1978, would be slightly over 33.8 billion cubic feet (bcf). NIPSCO projects it would meet the requirement with 24.360 bcf of daily flow gas and 9.462 bcf from the utility’s storage facilities. This would leave about 12.8 bcf in storage as of February 1, Again, using last winter as the basis for comparison, February, 1978 demand would be roughly 25.19 bcf and would be met with 21.302 bcf flow gas and 3.888 bcf from storage, leaving a reserve of 8.920 bcf on March 1, 1978. NIPSCO would fill a predicted March demand of 23.712 bcf with

22.599 bcf flow gas and 1.113 bcf from stoarge, leaving 7.807 bcf of useable gas in storage on April I, 1978. Since March, 197/ was warmer than normal, the estimated figures pertaining to March, 1978 are based on typical March weather conditions. Curtailment plans approved by federal regulatory agencies substantially reduced the amount of gas NIPSCO is entitled to under its supply contracts; however, the utility is receiving almost 0.7 bcf of gas per day this winter from its pipeline suppliers, or about 21 bcf each month. In addition. Michi-gan-Wisconsin Pipeline Company will continue delivery through January 19. 1978, of 2 bcf of supplemental gas purchased last year from Michigan Consolidated Gas Company. NIPSCO again emphasized the need for conservation and wise, efficient use of natural gas by all customers, especially during winter months when demand is at its highest.
