During the cycle, recruits are taught general military subjects designed to prepare them for further academic and on-the-job training in one of the Navy's 85 occupational fields. Studies include seamanship, close-order drill, naval history and first aid.

Woman’s GFWC Community Club Meets Last Week The GFWC Walkerton Woman’s Community Cub held their March 18th meeting at the Community Building in Walkerton.

The secretary read a letter from honorary member Lucille Dixon, thanking the club for their remembering her on Valentine’s Day. Alice Walker gave a report on the art contest held in Michigan City where Bethany Thomas who was sponsored by the club, was the winner. President Barbara Simpson, suggested members present might call those who haven’t been coming to meetings and encourage them to do so. Shirley Awald, Public Affairs, gave an interesting and informative report on crime in our country. She gave many helpful suggestions for protecting one’s self from those who prey on others, precautions for helping keep one’s neighborhood safe from them and for helping senior citizens to be aware of the many mail scams. The club’s campaign against violence and pornography on TV seems to be having an effect. Midred Casey reported. Janet Reno has said that violence must be restrained by the networks or the government will see that it is done. Ann Rockwell, who was one of those who sent letters and petitions to many ogranizations, said she has received many letters, one from President Ginton and will bring them to the next meeting. A bake sale will be held on Saturday, May 28th at the Ist Source Bank in Walkerton. Birthday ladies were Ann Rockwell and Shirley Awald. Hostesses for the occasion were Shirley Awald, chairman; Mildred Nolcheff and Crystal Lawrence. RETIREES SHOULD KEEP BUSY ... BUT NOT TOO BUSY! (HNN) — Many people are busier after retirement than when they worked full time and they can bring on stress at a time when they should be enjoying their senior years, reports Health New Network, the news service of the Indiana Association of Osteopathic Physicians & Surgeons. After reitrment many people try to do everything they had wanted to do — including public service. But many become stressed-out because they get caught-up in the mind-set that just because something needs doing, they personally have to do it. If you always volunteer to do it, nobody else will try. Good advice: You should be busy about some things, but not everything! Good planning will help you avoid stress. There is an old Chinese saying that goes: "Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone."

Local Students Conduct Nautrition Experiment Dairy and Nutrition Council, Inc. of South Bend provides schools with two female albino laboratory rats to conduct a four-week animal feeding demonstration in the classroom. During this four-week period, the rats are fed identical nutritional diets with the exception of the control rat receiving milk and the experimental rat receiving a sweetened beverage. Each week the rats are weighed and measured, allowing students to see for themselves how the different diets affect the rats’ growth. Students also follow along with a video program and various activities. In addition to the nutrition knowledge gained, the students learn to make growth charts, are introduced to and work with the metric system, become familiar with the "scientific method" and accept the responsibility of the rats’ care. Dairy and Nutrition Council’s live animal feeding demonstration is designed to help educate and emphasize the benefits of a good diet. In Walkerton, the classes of Pam Peeples and Cindy Knaack, at the Walkerton Elementary School, are participating in the Dairy and Nutrition Council’s animal feeding program.

PARTICIPATES IN PARTNERS IN POLICYMAKING Jan Glennon, Walkerton, is part of a group of 52 individuals selected statewide to participate in Partners in Policymaking. This innovative training program is sponsored by the COVOH Foundation and funded by a grant from the Indiana Governor's Planning Council for People with Disabilities. Partners in Policymaking educates people with disabilities and their family members on current issues and best practices and familiarizes them with policymaking and legislative processes at the local, state and federeal levels. Throughout the eight months of training, the "Partners" will be given information, education and skill building exercises so they may obtain the most appropriate state-of-the-art services for themselves and others. As part of the training experiences, the Partners will be interviewing and working with providers of local services and local decision makers in order to establish a productive working relationship that will improve services for person with disabilities and their families in their home communities. It is hoped "Partners" will be recognized. Witches, it seems, got a break in old Germany. People there believed they had a night out not only on Halloween but also on Walpurgis Night, the eve of May Day.
