Brodemas Writes Os Russian Trip To Study Schools Congressman John Brademas wrote a mimeographed letter to constituents from Moscow where he has been on a special mission as a member of a bipartizan subcommittee to investigate just what the Russians are doing in the field of education. He was greatly impressed with the drab and colorless atmosphere of Moscow. He reported that most of the buildings built since the revolution are without taste and massive and depressing. Mr. Brademas visited a Baptist Church, Roman Catholic and a Russian Orthodox Church and a Jewish synagogue. He was moved by the Baptist church overflowing with people singing hymns. He said it was difficult to meet the Russian people, mostly because of the language barrier. He did talk with teachers, who he said were a dedicated group. He met a Cuban girl who was a supporter of Castro and talked with an intelligent young lady who was studying English and was very fond of American jazz. He was impressed with the schools and received the impression that everyone is dedicated to moving their country ahead by means of education. Mr. Brademas was surprised that, coming straight from Washington and Berlin, he was not asked any questions about the Berlin crisis. His great reaction was how deeply he felt the values of a free and open society like ours after leaving Moscow.
LET'S GET BUSY Almost everyone agrees that some supplemental new industries in the Nappanee area would be highly desirable. We are already fortunate to have several good ones which contribute immeasureably to the good of the City, but a few more would help us all. We don't necessarily need a tremendous new plant, and it would probably be better if we had a few new small ones. We've had some help to make it more attractive for an industry to consider us. Our new sewer system will greatly allay some of our former drawbacks. The Industrial Development Corp. has made a big step ahead by acquiring land which would be ideal for an industrial park. The Nappanee Chamber of Commerce, The State Bank of Nappanee, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, to mention a few, have already helped in the past to attract new businesses. The Nappanee Utilities Company and certainly the Mayor and Common Council should be other potential sources of aid. Every facility ~ at their disposal should be used. But let's make it the job of all of us to sell Nappanee. When a Kiwanian or a Lion or a Jaycee or a church group or traveling salesman is in contact with people from other localities, let him "spread the word" about the many advantages of locating in Nappanee. Let us as individuals act as personal ambassadors to work on this vital need. - No one is going to stumble on Nappanee and suddenly decide to build his factory here. We must attract people or companies. This is everyone's business for the greater economy of all of us. We have had many conversations on this subject. Now, let's stop just talking and all get out and sell Nappanee. And, for Heaven's sake, if anyone does get an idea on a possible prospect, be sure that the right people are quickly informed.

Eldy Lundquist Talks To Football Team Almost 175 persons attended the Quarterbacks Club Football banquet Tuesday night. Coach Gunderman introduced his coaching staff, the cheer leaders, and members of the football team. Eldy Lundquist spoke primarily on the team. He told them that he has a soft r spot in his heart for Nappanee because he really got a start here as an announcer during a sectional basketball tournament. Mr. Lundquist paid a personal tribute to Wayne Best whom he recognized as a good friend. He also mentioned our recent football tragedy and said that Nappanee added to its stature by the courage shown by the community, the coaching staff, and the football players. To the boys who played on the team he said that they had gone through an experience which they would never have again. They learned to compete fiercely with each other for places on the team and against the men on the other team. The lessons of give and take and of using the rules are things that will give them a head start in the race of life and will greatly aid them in whatever they do later. To those who will be playing next year, Mr. Lundquist pointed out that the whole experience is worthwhile, and, even if they sit on the bench, they will learn important lessons. He told the football team that the advantages which they have gained by learning competition must be treated as responsibility for leadership.

Winner Os "Who Is It?" Contest Announced Mrs. Fred Curtis won the “Who Is It?” contest. Close behind her was Debbie Callander. Mrs. Curtis missed only five of the baby pictures. The answers that came in were interesting. No one got the authority on existentialism, Rev. William Heimach, who’s been studying that subject. Very few got Elmer Weaver, who engineered President Coolidge’s special train. Charles Lehman’s last name with Dewey and Rockefeller hre associated with persons who have been Governor of New York. Several guessed John Coppes for this. Pictures will be returned to their owners soon. We thought it would be fun to publish them all together first. Elkhart County Hiway Committee Organized A committee of about fifty persons has been organized in Elkhart County to study the highway improvement needs of the County and to urge action on specific problems.

At the first meeting Tuesday several situations needful of immediate action by the State were discussed. One of these would be the improvement of Route 19 from Elkhart South. There are several situations such as the road from Elkhart to Goshen which the committee believes present serious safety problems and should be improved as soon as possible. The committee’s main function will be to see that the most severe needs are brought before the proper state authorities and to get action on these problems.

Next Saturday, November 11th, is Veterans Day. How many people today realize what Veterans Day really means. Years after World War I, Nov. 11th was designated as Armistist Day. It was a day of celebration, commerating the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, that marked the end of that great war to end all wars. In the years that followed, we celebrated the anniversary of that date with joy and thanksgiving. In our celebration we took time out at 11 a.m. to face the east in a moment of silent reverence to the memory of those who gave their lives, that our way of life might continue to be a reality. Then came World War 2, and people claimed that Armistice Day was a sham, a hollow mockery, because it did not accomplish that end to all wars. Forget not those who died in World War 1, fell, believing that we the living would cherish and preserve that peace, for which they fought and died. Since the end of World War 2 and the Korean Conflict, Veterans groups urged Congress to change Armistice Day to Veterans Day and to declare it a National Holiday. In 1954 the Congress of the United States declared November 11th to be known as Veterans Day, and to be a National Holiday. I’ is to be a day of celebration anr 1 thanksgiving for our Victories in all wars. We cannot celebrate these victories without recalling the price that was paid for those victories, therefore we take a few moments of this Holiday to honor those heroes who gave their last full measure of devotion, to secure for us the peace we so dearly love. Saturday, November 11th at 11 a.m., the American Legion, color guard, firing squad, buglar, Commander and Chaplain, the American Legion Auxiliary, and the Junior Auxiliary, will conduct a brief memorial service at the Memorial Shaft at the north end of Memorial Field. We urge everyone, not Just veterans, but all who appreciate liberty and are grateful to our honored dead for the sacrifice they made, to meet at Memorial Field at 10:45 a.m. to witness this Memorial. "We bow our heads before the graves of our unselfish sons, Who gave their all to quell the foe and still his blazing guns. Who donned the Blue or Khaki and went bravely into war That we might live in liberty and peace for evermore. Their names are written in our hearts and on old glory too, In everlasting memory of red and white and blue. We honor them for courage and for loyalty sincere With silent praise in each salute and love in every tear. And while our gratitude exceeds our power to express. We hope and pray that they have found eternal happiness." D. D. Hossler, Chaplain Nappanee Post 154 The American Legion
