★ WIN* PART 11 The ★WIN* Coupon Book promotion, so successful last year in Walkerton, is ready to kick-off for 1986. The motto “WIN”, take from the slogan “W'alkerton Is Now’’, was chosen last year and is being carried on again this summer. The campaign was organized last year after the generous offer of Leo Mahoney to donate a car to raise money for a downtown improvement project was made and accepted by the Chamber of Commerce. The project coordinated a lot of individuals and businesses to have a successful campaign in which over $12,000 profit was realized from the coupon book promotion. This year another coupon book is underway and will go on sale on July 1, with much of the promotion culminating on Saturday, October 11, at the annual Walkerton Fall Festival. The coupon book this year will be “bigger and better” than before, with no fewer than 152 coupons for savings of all kinds and many free drawings being available plus the grand prize drawing for a trip for two to Hawaii, donated this year by Hiler Industries. The profits from last year are being used by the Chamber of Commerce for a few immediate improvements in the downtown area, but more importantly are helping coordinate a long-term program which will show results in the future. It may sound like a lot of money, but the $12,000 plus dollars of last year is not a sufficient amount to complete any type of a downtown improvement program. A couple of immediate items enhancing the appearance of the downtown area have or are being instituted, the flower baskets in the business area, the purchase of some new trash containers for downtown, and an effort to combine with the Town of Walkerton and the merchants for a campaign to keep our town cleaner and more attractive through a regular cleaning program. The rest of the effort is funneled towards the long-term program, which gets quite involved and takes time to institute. The 1986 committee handling the coupon books has done another fine job of soliciting the area merchants and presenting a product that will sell for SIO.OO, which has many times that amount of values with something for everyone. And combine with this, some 30 free drawings sponsored by businesses and industries that are not of the retail variety, and the grand prize drawing and you have an excellent value again this year. This is another combined effort by many that will give the people of this area a chance to help out while actually benefiting from the coupon book values. Many area businesses will be selling the coupon books starting next week, look for them and take advantage of the bargains as well as helping in the overall program that continues to say “Walkerton Is Now!” WHEN—

1981 Effective July 1, License Branches will experience a radical change in the manner in which many Indiana Sales (use tax) Taxes are to be collected and calculated. This is for the person who is buying a vehicle from a private party that the new procedure will be used.

The Indiana State Police will once again participate in the National Operation C A R E. (Combined Accident Recuction Effort) this 4th of July weekend beginning at 6:00 p.m. on July 2 and ending at midnight on July 5.

The house enrolled act number 18 of the 1961 Legislature has placed the following into law for any truck tractor,, farm tractor, road tractor and any implement of husbandry for the purchase of the act, requires that any of the foregoing is operating on a federal or state roao at a speed of less than 20 miles per hour, there shall be mounted on such vehicle, or rear of combination of such vehicles, a flashing red signal lamp or red flag at a height of from 10 to 12 inches and visible to the rear for 500 feet. 1956 Plans are being made by a special committee set up at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last evening, June 20, to have the Town of Walkerton “fogged’* for mosquitos and other bothersome insects. Increased activity by the State Police on State Road 23, between South Bend and Walkerton, has been noted by many of our citizens and felt by several. The police news this week indicates that 11 such persons were arrested for and paid fines. The reason for the increase in surveillance is Indianapolis authorities in analyzing reports of automobile accidents in St. Joseph County have found that most of these accidents occured on two highways in the county, U. S. 20 and State Road 23. In an effort to stop this epidemic of accidents that State Police have been directed to put more patrolment on the highways.
