AN ISSUE AGAIN! The time situation in Indiana, thought dead a few weeks ago for this session of the Indiana Legislature, is an issue once again. Not only is it an issue, but it has passed committee and will be handled by the full Senate once again. This time it is in the form of a resolution that would place all of Indiana on Central Standard Time. Earlier in the session a measure that would have put all of Indiana on daylight saving time year round was solidly defeated by a 46-4 vote in the Senate. The latest action strips a resolution that that would have put the 11 “maverick” counties in the Eastern time zone from the Central time zone, but this was dropped and the Department of Transportation under this new resolution will be asked to place all of Indiana in the Central time zone. This cleared committee by a vote of 4-2. What the latest action simply means is that, if passed, Indiana would be on the same time as Chicago all year instead of with Chicago for the six winter months and with New York in the six summer months. Regardless of what happens, unless there is some teeth put into the law, areas of Inidana are probably going to do what they want to anyway as has been the case in past years and is to a degree now. You have basically four key areas that feel they should be with surrounding states’ time zones, one being the Fort Wayne or northeastern area of the state; one being the Calumet area, already with Chicago year round on time; one the Evansville area, also with the Central time zone; and an area across the river from Cincinnati that joins with the Eastern time zone in the summer months without official order to do so. One thing we don’t need in Indiana is the situation similar to what we had in past years where the time element was a matter handled by each county and if one remembers right, one year Walkerton had one time for the six winter months and the school corporation operated on another time for those same six months. The matter will be acted on by the entire Senate and there is some feeling that this latest move might just be the one that can change the current situation. Your senators can be contacted on this matter and, if passed from the Senate on to the House, your representatives will also be interested in your opinions. That is what your elected officials are there for, to reflect your views in the matters of the State of Indiana. The Legislature will be in session for at least two more weeks as they are now approaching the 50 working day mark and the long session calls for 61 days in session. Much still remains to be done and the time situation popping back up is just one of many key issues to be settled one way or another yet in this session along with the budget for the next two years.

This is my concern to all business. industries and other patrons of our John Glenn School Corporation. 1 have recievcd a letter from an advertising firm outside our community requesting our fall sports schedules because some businesses from the Walkerton-North Liberty area have purchased advertising for a schedule card to be place in w indows of our area businesses. My disturbance and concern is that none of this planned schedule has been authorized by the John Glenn High School athletic department. The advertising dollars will benefit only this outside firm, even taking the printing business outside of the community. Place mat ads, other schedules have also been done in the past months, again no profit or gain locally. The athletic department at John Glenn does make personal contact with proper authorization when soliciting for advertising for programs, schedules, raffles, calendars, etc. Many businesses, industries and patrons have supported our athletic programs with your advertising dollars and we are sincerely grateful and appreciative. My intentions are not to dictate to anyone as to how or where you spend your advertising dollars, but do ask questions, as to who is benefiting and does the school have know ledge of such a program. I know times arc rough — rougher for others — but working together and helping each other can make for better community-school relations. I will be appearing before the Chambers of Commerce in each community to express my concern and the views of our athletic department, as to ways we can work together to help each other. Anytime someone asks for athletic advertising you may call the office. 586-3195 to verify such a program. Mr. Richard Kickbush

From the very founding of this organization, women have been given an important roll in decision making.

For the next two years it is concerned with increasing the income and self-sufficiency of rural people in many villages in Bangladesh. The Grange supports certain legislative policies in agriculture, education and health, citizenship and public affairs, conservation and natural resources, labor and judiciary laws, taxation and fiscal policy and transportation.
