FALLING INTO PLACE For many years many of the small towns of our country put a lot of work and effort into running a Fourth of July celebration. Celebrating of our nation’s birthday has always been a happy and fun-filled event which means a lot to most people. The celebrations around the country bear this out and have long made this one of the most enjoyable, fun-filled events of the year. In recent years, the continuing of this custom has become more and more difficult. Where a community used to spend a few hundred dollars for a big fireworks display, they now spend in the thousands. And any other type of entertainment or programs has also sky-rocketed in cost. Add to this more and more people became a little less willing to help, they were leaving the work of putting on such a program up to someone else. Both Walkerton and North Liberty have gone through these trying times. In North Liberty, a parade in the afternoon has been established for quite some time and activities around the park follow with the culmination the usual display of fireworks. In Walkerton, for many years, a carnival has been a big attraction for several days preceding and through the Fourth with activities planned for the final day and of course, ending with the display of fireworks. Both towns at one time, not too many years ago, came close to having their celebrations almost cease due to lack of help and people who would spend the time to organize and see that such a celebration was held. The Volunteer Fire Department has taken charge in North Liberty and continued their plans very capably in recent years. In Walkerton, what for many years was run through the combined efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, The American Legion and the Lions Club, with later help from the Jaycees after they were formed, found help and willing people getting less and less and less each year. We are happy to report, a committee interested in continuing and enlarging the celebration took charge after almost total disaster a few years ago when the carnival pulled out of town early and the long established custom almost came to an end. The fruits of the labors of these dedicated people are now being realized. With the holiday weekend two weeks away, the Walkerton Committee has released their schedule of events (on the front page of this issue) which combines a lot of events into the first four days of July with the activities ending on Sunday, July 4. In North Liberty, the activities will mainly center on Monday, July 5. The schedule includes a wide range of events, sort of combining the Fourth celebration with the former Summer Festivals that Walkerton used to hold also. This finds events of all types for almost all people planned for this year and with the release of the schedule, one can see that the pieces are falling into place and if one cannot find some way to enjoy and take part in the Fourth celebration, they aren’t trying very hard. We want to congratulate both communities and the people responsible for continuing a great American custom, the small town celebration of the Fourth of July, truly an American holiday.

Shaking Hie Salt Habit LOW-SODIUM CHINESE DINNER Trying to restrict your salt intake is a challenge for everyone. But for people who love Chinese food the challenge is even greater. In China, the use of salt can be traced back to 1295 when Marco Polo, returning from Cathay, delighted the Doge with stories of the value of salt coins bearing the seal of the great Kahn. Today we see the Orientals’ love of salt most prominently in soy sauce, with 1 tablespoon containing 1319 mg of sodium. One way to enjoy Chinese and other high sodium dishes is by using a salt alternative, like NoSalt, in place of saltladen sauces. The primary ingredient in NoSalt is the naturally occurring substance potassium chloride, instead of sodium chloride (salt). And NoSalt contains no sugar or sugar-like additives. While Chinese food is normally high in sodium, the following recipe lets you enjoy this delicious cuisine in a traditional stirfry favorite. One serving of Chicken Stir-Fry made with NoSalt Salt Alternative contains 86 mg of sodium; the same recipe made with table salt has 487 mg per serving, and a tablespoon of soy sauce raises each portion of sodium to 671 milligrams’ For a 24-page color booklet containing recipes and tips on shaking the salt habit, write “THE way to BETTER EATING WITH NOSALT™ SALT ALTERNATIVE,” P.O. Box 3844, Stamford, CT 06905. NOSALT CHICKEN STIR FRY (makes 2 servings) 1/2 pound boneless chicken breast 1/2 small bunch broccoli 3 scallions 1/4 pound mushrooms 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon NoSalt Salt Alternative 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper 1/3 cup dry white wine Cut chicken into 3/4inch cubes; reserve. Cut off tough ends of broccoli stalks; discard. Cut remainder into small flowerets and short lengths of stalks. (You should have 2 cups.) Slice scallions including about 3 inches of green part. Halve or quarter mushrooms if large. Heat oil in wok or large skillet; add chicken. Cook over medium high heat, stirring often, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet with a slotted spoon. Add broccoli, scallions and mushrooms to skillet; stirfry over medium heat 3 minutes. Mix cornstarch, NoSalt Salt Alternative and’ red pepper; gradually stir in wine until smooth. Pour over mixture in skillet;cook and stir about 1 minute, stirring to coat all ingredients. Serve immediately over rice if desired. 86 mg per serving

1972 The PLJ School Corporation Board of School Trustees announced at their regular meeting. June 6, that Mr. Harold Muncie, presently principal at the John Glenn High School, will become the new superintendent replacing Dr. Edward M. Powell, who has accepted a similar position at Dover. Deleware. Muncie in 1954 was coach and physical education instructor at Tyner High School. He held that position for nine years and in 1963 became the principal at Tyner High School. After two years Muncie went to Walkerton High School as principal and held that position for one year and has since served as principal of the John Glenn High School which was formed after the consolidation of the Tyner and Walkerton Schools in 1966. Area boys attending Boys State at Terre Haute for eight days learning how the American two-party-system works at the Iwai and state levels are Michael G. Petz, of North Liberty; William J. Pay ton, Wayne A. Feecc. Bruce Dayhuff and Mark Northam, of Walkerton. Story hour at the Walkerton Public Library for youngsters between three and nine years old are invited on Saturday, at 10:30 a.m., to hear interesting stories. The youngsters will be divided into two groups, three to five and six to nine year olds. Each group has their own story teller. 1952 Favorable weather in May improved Indiana wheat prospects seven percent over a month ago according to a report by Purdue University. Expected yield is now 23.5 bushels per acre with an anticipated production of 36,519.000 bushels. Also the peach crop of 456,(MX) bushels is expected which is more than six times last year's short crop but is 10 percent less than the 10-year average. Announcement was made by Kingsbury Ordnance Plant officials that the company’s contract has been extended until October 10, 1953. With the present contract 6.100 workers are employed and with the new supplement contract it is insured at least this same level of employment will be held. A monthly payroll of close to $2 million is circulated in the area. The plant was built by the govern-

Mr. Shirley has written his superiors asking if the service can be started July 1. The relay box is a large mail recepticle which will be placed in West York to hold surplus mail for brief periods while the carrier is making his rounds, enabling him to deposit part of his load while delivering the rest of it. At the recently held open house of KOP there were 1,013 automobiles carrying 4,114 persons to the affair. 1942 Local Methodist church pastors for North Liberty and Walkerton were returned to their charges by action of the annual conference which closed at Battle Ground Sunday afternoon. Rev. Henry C. Ball was re-assigned to serve the North Liberty and Sumption Prairie churches while W. R. Kuhn was returned to Tracy and Walkerton. The old adage, "Where there's a will there’s away," was again proven true last Thursday evening when the newly organized band, under the direction of Fred Waters, demonstrated what can be accomplished on short notice. Unfortunately the concert was interrupted by a downpour of rain and a considerable amount of music was soaked which demonstrates the need of a roof over the band stand. All men born on or after January 1. 1922 and on or before June 30. 1924. will be enrolled in the fifth selective service registration on June 30. The Quality Dairy, w hich was established by Archie Lute in a newbuilding at Koontz Lake, a few years ago, and which was later purchased by David Lawrence and Sam Frame, will be moved into the F. L. Tischer building on Michigan Street within a week or so. Woodrow Wilson was the only President in U.S. history to hold a Ph.D degree. The clock at Washington's National Bureau of Standards is accurate to one second in 300 years.
