ENJOY IT WHILE IT’S HERE Ihe beauts of autumn is upon us. I his is one of the times tit year that all people ol our area can justify their lose tor this area, perhaps it docs eel that cold tall chill at nights, but the next das can bring just as much to appreciate the other wav. I he tall in Indiana. Michigan and this geographical area of the country blesses us with color ot nature and with mans other things that makes one glad to just be alive. The harvesting that is in full swing, soon the scrs distinctive smell of burning leases, the finishing up of outdoor work before the coming winter, the pleasant days of "Indiana Summer", these are all things that really makes one appreciate the often too short das s ot tall in our area. Hosses er. this is also the time to prepare for the coming winter months It seems as it forecasts are saying it won tbe as severe as the past two winters, at least we hope not, but that a trend to be a little colder for a fess scars is here as weather as well as most of nature’s habits, works in cycles. Ihe I9b()’s in particular had slightly warmer winters and this carried into the earls 1970'5. Noss the trend is slightls the other was but most are not forseeing as heavy of snowfall as has been the case the past couple of winters. Also, several points of interest are encouraging that there never has been three successive severe winters in a row in the general area. Also the fact that the polar air masses have not started to drop father south as early also is an encouraging fact lor the coming winter months ahead. We will have winter and there will be some cold, cold days. The various measures that can be taken against this coming weather should be taken now. Energy has become a very big and important factor in recent vears as both man-made and nature-responsible situations has made all of us more aware of the energy situation. We have for so long, taken too much for granted. This is now to a point where energy and ecology have changed our ways of thinking and forced changes in a very short time. Any measures that can be taken to aid in this situation should be taken now in order to be ready for the situations when they arise. Yes. fall, in many minds the most beautiful time of the year, is a very limited season and we all know that we eventually will change from this pleasant season into the coming winter which may or may not treat us kindly, onh time will tell. But while fall is here, everyone should appreciate it and take advantage of the season at hand. LTC WHEN—

VOICE OF THEPEOPLE Attention! Ihe Athletic Boosters Organization is a very important part of the total athletic program in the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson sch(x>ls. Ihe primary purpose of the Athletic B(x>sters is to provide financial support to the various boys and girls sports which our schixil offers. I his financial support is especially directed towards those sports where there is little or no financial income. Fach scar the btxistcrs club donates well over $ I JXM) to our alhh tn programs in the form of uniforms, equipment, and special

awards. During recent years the Bixisters have paid for the Varsitx girls basketball and volleyball uni forms, the fence around the baseball field, the complete foothall outfits for the junior high, the color pictures of the sports teams in the gymnasium, special trophy awards for winners of the Bi Counts lour ney. Conference, and Sectional, etc. Let us emphasize that your support and participation is needed. Without your support and especial ly your participation in the organi zation's meetings and fund raising activities, the Athletic Bixisters Organization will be dissolved and all of the money in the treasury turned over to the athletic departments in the Polk-Lincoln-Johnson Schixil Corporation. I here will be a meeting Tuesday, October 24. at 7:00 p.m. in the John Glenn High Schixil Library. Sincerely, Doris Clark. President I'm wondering where ther priorities of Walkerton are? Everyone was worried and concerned about the high schixil children walking to school, so they put in curbs and sidewalks. What about our children that have to walk to the Elementary School? Aren't they important? They are taught to stay on the sidewalks because walking in the road is dangerous, but that is all they have to walk on. We are only talking about one block of sidewalk and curbs that should be installed on Washington Street, or let the children walk down Adams Street which is not heavily congested. This week we were lucky. The price of this is not worth one of our children’s lives. Must we wait till someone is seriously hurt?
