VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

MESSAGE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD What a disgusting statement for anyone to make, that they are ashamed to be associated with Dr. Urey and the nuclear age. If the United States had not been slightly ahead of other nations in nuclear development, many of us and millions of Japanese would not be alive today. There wouldn’t have been the “Baby Boomer Era,” or a need for larger school systems, in the United States of America. It may be feasible to include John Glenn in the Middle School name, but the name “Urey” should forever be a part of the Middle School name. Nuclear weapons are devastating, we pray we’ll never have to use them again, but they are here to stay, and, thanks to scientists like Dr. Urey, we

Americans are still the powers that control their use. Eliminating the name, won’t make it go away. Proud to be an American. Bill Bouse TO THE SCHOOL BOARD The name of Harold C. Urey Middle School was chosen for a reason . . . this being Walkerton’s only renown citizen for one — the Nobel Prize winner in chemistry in 1934. Dr. Harold C. Urey’s father, Prof. S. C. Urey was head of the local school system back in the 189 O’s. Dr. Harold C. Urey was born in Walkerton in 1893. John Glenn never lived in Walkerton and has had no real connection with the high school. Should we not change that too? IT’S APRIL Well, Kankakee Valley Livestock Sales have been open the last two Mondays

and I have missed both sales. Last week I was sick and this past Monday, I worked at bingo at Koontz Lake. I sent Roy down to get some goodies for me. He said that both nights were very busy. I can watch the trucks coming in to unload their animals and goods. I can even stand outside and hear the auctioneer calling. Maybe next Monday I’ll make it down there. On Sunday, St. Pat’s will be serving their last pancake breakfast until the fall. I don’t know why they won’t work all summer. I really enjoy seeing these boys work hard at cooking and cleaning. My chickens are having a great time laying eggs. For several days, I thought that our little duck was laying an egg with the hens. Then I realized that we had an Easter Egg chicken. She lays the most green egg that I have ever seen. It is possible for her to lay blue or yellow eggs too. Mel, the Goose and Oliver are nesting on several eggs. I don’t know if Babette and Tommy turkey are going to raise any young this year. I do know that they are the noisiest animals around. The cats are beginning to pop little ones. April is a remarkable month. We can have both summer and winter weather. While the earth is greening and the animals reproducing, we should really listen to nature. It really is a creative time. It is a busy time, but it is a happy busy time. Flowers and trees are budding, along with the green grass, giving us color. Os course later in the year, we’ll be grumbling about mowing the lawn and weeding the garden. Enjoy it now. I have to pick up my boys and head out to Al’s for dinner and cards. Sincerely, Nedra Williams IN LOVING MEMORY Os Phyllis Hahn It has been six sad, lonely years now since I said good bye. You know you wouldn’t want me to cry. I think of you day after day and ask the Lord why did you take her away, but God had a special place that only you could fill. I love you and always will and I know you would have loved to live to enjoy your lovely grandkids. I often think of you and see you so very clear and it is then that I wish with all my heart that you were really here. So rest now, because someday we all will be together to laugh and play, what a day of rejoicing that will be. Sadly missed Mildred Bays Give To The Community Pantry
