1 150 Hear Talks $y Brademas & If borne at Rally • A capacity crowd of 150 people filled the American Legion Home Monday night for a rally sponsored by Nappanee Democratic Womens Club. The group was welcomed by the president, Jean Truex. Program chairman, June Stouder turned the meeting over to Democratic County Chairman, Dick Corns of Elkhart who introduced County Democrat candidates. Heading the list was John Brademas, congressman for the third district, who spoke briefly on the issues, including the declining employment situation. Layoffs in the three large industries in Nappanee are the cause of particular concern in this community and indicative of the softening employment situation thruout the nation, he stated. . William A. Thorne, candidate for state senator, discussed the issue Os school reorganization, designed to end the existence of schools, especially at the high school level, having an enrollment of less than 120 pupils. This legislation which was co-sponsored by his Republican opponent is the cause of great concern in rural areas having great pride in their locally run schools, Thorne said. Sparsly settled rural areas are concerned because the large population centers may well out-vote them when reorganization programs are placed before the electorate. Mr. Thorne called for the state to shoulder its share of the tax burden if it is going to force large school units to come into existence. He called attention to the fact that in the last decade, which has been largely under Republican controled government, that the tax burden on the local community for school support has increased from 60% to 70% and has caused the inequitable property tax rate to skyrocket. Entertainment was furnished by O. A. Lambert and the Postma sisters. Two young cheer leaders, Sarah Dawson and Ann Clouse gave several Kennedy, Johnson, and Brademas pep cheers and refreshments were served. PANCAKE & SAUSAGE SUPPER FOR DEMS AT ELKHART OCT. 26 Democrat Womens Club of Elkhart is sponsoring a pancake and sausage supper Oct. 26 at Cook’s Ranch, 2100 Goshen, Elkhart, serving from 5:30 to 8 p. m.

Subbing for starter Randy Weddle, Geyer scored twice on short plunges in the second period and tallied once more in the third quarter for Naps final TD. After a scoreless first period, in which the Bulldogs lost the services of ace fullback Rob Lehman due to a shoulder dislocation on the first play from scrimmage, the Bulldogs found themselves on the short end of a 6-0 score as Swartzlander put the Lions out in front on a one-yard plunge. Nap bounced back with two quick TDs as QB Tod Lehman’s passing opened up Bremen defense. With Larry Andrews running, the Bulldogs moved to the five yard line and Geyer took it over from there to tie it, 6-6. Following the kick-off, Nap’s Doug Weaver fell on a Bremen fumble on the Lions 37 yard line. Aided by roughing-the-passer and pass interference penalties on the Lions, Nap moved to the four and Geyer plunged for the TD to put the Bulldogs out in front 12-6, at halftime. The two teams played in a virtual downpour during the second half, but the Bulldogs were not to be denied and quickly scored their third six-pointer.
