BULLDOGS OPEN SEASON TUESDAY AGAINST KNOX

By Bob Mitchell After surviving the terrific heat for two weeks, Nap. Bulldogs are in good shape for the season opener at Knox next Tuesday, Sept. 1. The game will be the first for new NHS head coach Jerry Young, although he has previous ence coaching football in J North Carolina. J It will also be the coaching debut for new line coach Jon Mayfield, who graduated from Hanover last year. The Bulldogs probable starting line-up will be made up of nine lettermen. Tackle Ed Getz and guard Danny Geyer are the noniettermen breaking into the lineup.' Nine are seniors and center Rob Lehman and Geyer are both juniors. Big Chuck Blevins, 230 pound middle guard, will see plenty of action on defense. With plenty of experience up front and a veteran backfield, the Bulldogs hope to start the season off with a big victory over the Redskins. Coach Young knows very little about the Knox eleven, but believes they will open up the offense this year. Though Knox suffered heavily by graduation, they did have a flock of promising underclassmen and Jerry expects them to really give the Bulldogs a ballgame. Probable Starting Line-up: RE Dick Conrad (175) RT Ed Getz (190) RG Steve Hockert (170* C Rob Lehman (165) LG Dan. Geyer (170) LT Bob Stouder (175) LE Chuck McFall (170) QB Gary Stutzman (160) LH Mike Mitchell <l4o> RJH Phil Evans (140) FB Jay Stouder (160) IVo Resignation by Slabaugh at The County Clerk The resignation of Earl Slabaugh Scott Twp trustee and exofficio member of Nappanee community schools, reported last week in Warsaw Times-Union, was not on file at Kosciusko county clerk’s office, it was reported yesterday.

UNCLE EB from EBENEZEiI says:

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I see where a rich feller in New York wants to publish a newspaper that don’t carry nothing but good news. He wouldn’t be able to git out more’n one page a week. In fact, he wouldn't be able to carry the weather forecast but about onct a month. Oome to think about it, this feller has done about retired afore he got started. Os course, I think a heap of improvements could be made on the newspapers we already got. You editors miss the point about as often as you hit it. i Fer instant, when that farmer here a while back smashed up his tractors, burned down his barn and killed hisself, the paper said the motive fer the act was unknown. Anybody ought to know that he just got exhausted from filling out Guvernment forms and was tired of farming. He .had wore hisself out estimating his crops fer the income tax folks and rotating ’em fer the Agriculture Department. And I reckon, too, his eyesight was gitting pore from reading all them pamphlets from the farm bureaus. I was reading a piece in the papers last night where a survey

No Re lief In Sight from Our Aug. Heat Wave About the only big news in Nappanee this week was ihe heat wave, and that was no news to suffering residents who have seen mopping their brows in the 90-plus daytime weather and sweltering all night in the sultry 70-plus temperatures. The muggy mass of hot air that has blanket? 1 all ol Indiana may make this A 'gust a record for hot weather. As of Wednesday, no relief was in sight. High temperatunes and t timidity were expected to remain at hast five more days. Last Sunday, was reported by many as the worst .'lay so far and the high number oi drownings in the state showed that great numbers of people headed for lakes to try to cool off a little bit. On Sunday, even Lake Mich gan was warm enough for bathers to wade right in without a squeal of ‘ Ooh, it’s cold!” Because of the i igh humidity, health officials continue warning those going m picn.cs to keep all food refrigerated un ;il it is served. After the M ies picnic which felled almost 000 persons, there have been two otter large scale food poisonings or. picnics, and doubtless hundreds of individual cases which never make the papers. At this point, our favorite weather forecast would be that one we hear so often in winter, ‘There’s a mass of cold aii moving down from Canada expect id to drop temperatures sharply.” Child ©? Firmer Locke Residents Drowns In Lake Harold Burkey almost four years old, son of Harry and Clarice Mann Burkey, 1524 Edwardsburg, Elkhart, was drowned Sunday afternoon at Carver lake. His father, Harry Burkey, and grandparents, the Will Burkeys formerly lived in Locke. The grandfather and tle late Jerome Burkey were brot ers. Little Harold vandered away from the cottage ;nd was missed at 6 p.m. Sunday. Searchers spent more than an hoar locating the body. He is survived ay his parents, five sisters, Lucile. Retha, Irenes Wilma, and Caren, and five brothers, Ralph, Earl, Dale and Phillip all of Elkhart and Lester of Chicago; grandparents, uhe Will Burkeys, Edwardsburg. Mich., and Mr. and Mi\s. Rufus Mann, Central Lake Mich, The funeral was Wednesday morning at Prairie Street Mennonite church in charge of Rev. Howard Zehr, pastor, and burial was in the church cemetery. 4 From Ro tirbon Area Hurt In Two-Car Crash Mrs. Leonard S' ackhouse, 36, R .I, Bourbon, and her daughter, Marsha, 2, were taken to South Bend Osteopathic ih jspital Saturday after a two-car crash a mile southwest of Community Center. Marsha'has a broken collarbone and 'he£d injuries and her mother has a neck injury. Another passenger in the car, Lorie Miller, 19, R 1, Bourbon, was taken to Elkhart hospital, for treatment of leg, foot and scalp cuts and multiple contusions, and her mother, Mrs. Fanny Miller, 48, was treated for a head' injury. Lydia Miller, 17, was also a passenger in the car. Driver of the other car, Billy Hudson, 20, R 3, Warsaw, has been charged with failure to yield right of way. He was not injured. Damage to the two cai is estimated at $1450. 4-H BEEF THIS WEEKEND AT LEWIE’S 81-RITE The 4-H beef purchased by State Bank of Nappanei will be on sale this week at Lewie’s Bi-Rite, Lewie Ohristophel an iaunces.

shows that wimmeu use no judgement in the selection of their shoes and that 43 percent of ’em would be happier if they went barefooted I didn’t know tne percentage of honest wimnen. in this country would run to 43 percent. The piece didn’t say vho made the survey but I reckor it was another one of them Guvernment projects, like the survey the Agriculture Department made about ive year ago on the “Love Life o: the Humming Bird.” A feller c n tele vision last night was saying hat ever candidate fer President ir 1960 aught to make a speech to th e nati> n from the front porch of th ; White House and tell the Americin people his exact foreign po icy. C, f course, when Harry built that po ndh to the White House he didn’t an fer no Republicans to oe making a campaign speech fro? i it. JBut he might not holler too loud it the candidate kept the raeecth non-partisan. There ai I’t not ling that makes a little fell ;r feel as big as when he’s got a salconj under his feet. The baloor r did a heap fer Mussolini, and lothing crows as cocky as a roostc when he’s safe on the ridge pole it a barn. Yours truly, Umie Eh

EXPECT MORE EARTHQUAKES IN 'YOUNG' ROCKIES

By Frank A. White The more than 300 earthquakes in the West Yellowstone park area that toppled a mountain, put a dam across a river to make “The Lord’s Lake,” and snuffed out lives of several campers challenges thought. It was my good fortune when in Indiana University to study geology, meteorology (weather* and geography under such celebrities as Cummings, Mallot and Visher. To scientists like them, earth quakes in the region held, little element of surprise. As tourists in Yellowstone we have seen steam erupt in geysers like Old Faithful, the molten stone in the Devil’s Paint Pot, and similar wonders.®. •' The West is “young” yet as tne’ earth goes. In California we greeat mountain heights and opposite are great ocean depths. What makes an earthquake? Lengthwise in California, there is a gigantic fault, fissure, or crack in the earth’s surface that underlaid the San Franciscq Area, where we had such a terrible earthquake. This crack is not visible on the surface in some places, being covered with farms, towns and countryside. The fissure is something like closing your fists and putting your knuckles together. When you move them, they jolt. Streams move tons of silt over the ages and the earth gets out of balance. Then it rights itself and the sides of the fissure rub together, in the process, making an earthquake. Scientists know what makes an earthquake and know that there will be other gigantic land movements in the youthful west. LIGHTNING IS USEFUL My newspaper recorded a local electrical storm that interrupted our telephone and electric service. Our dog Cinderella is terrifdicly frightened by lightning. Some of our friends live in fear of a cyclone or tornado. Scientists know a lot aibout lightning since Benjamin Franklin: first discovered It was electricity

A delicious half-dhicken and everything to go with it to make an enjoyable outdoor barbecue meal - that’s what Nappanee Lions club is offering Saturday night from 5 p.m. til all are served at West Side park. “It’s too hot to ask the wife to cook supper every night in the week!” says Bill Hostetler, Lions president. “Give the family a treat and come out to the cool, shady park Saturday for a good meal with your friends. You will he helping to raise money for the Lions new project, a picnic shelter for East park.” All Lions members are selling tickets and advance tickets may also be purchased at Deiseh Supply, Newcomer Jewelers or State Bank. Last week’s story was incorrect in saying it was an all-you-can-eat affair. However, Bill states, anyone is welcome to buy all the chicken he can eat. The Lions will be selling chicken to one and all and hope this will be their biggest and best barbecue.

by sending a kite in the sky, while a storm was overhead. When we bring together two electric wires, one carryng a negative charge, and the other a positive, sparks jump as the charges rush together and neutralize. A storm cloud may have a negative charge, and the ground a positive charge, or vice versa. These I is such strong attraction that they may jump from land to cloud, or cloud to ground, to neutralize. This causes lightning shock and the air rushing back into the vacuum makes the thunder. Lightning burns up impurities in the air and dusts the earth with one of the most vital substances in fertilizer of plants and growing vegetation. Lightning usually strikes by jumping from the highest point, a house, or a tree, where the charge between sky and ground has built up. Therefore, you should not seek cover under a- tree on the golf course in an electric storm. STORMS UNDERSTOOD Highs and lows travel from west to east across the United States, bringing our sunshiny and stormy weather, in succession. In the atmosphere cold and hot areas may collide and violent winds be set in motion. There are. not more tornadoes and cyclones than in ages past. We simply have better educated people who recognize them, more suburban dwellers to see them, and a better weather reporting service. It’s needless to live in terror of being killed or injured by a tornado or cyclone. We are more apt to get killed in an automobile accident. If you will take the number of persons living in Indiana, say 4Vtmillion, and divide into that the number killed by a cyclone or tornado in a year, or years, it will be seen that such fears are groundless. Your chance in a lifetime of seeing a tornado, or cyclone, or being caught in one in Indiana, is infinitismally small. So let’s relax. \
