LETTERS TO I IV THE EDITOR |

Dear Mr. Editor; Tn hoping too, people write in about the one way streets whether for or against. True at times our streets are crowded. But does the few times they are congested warrant one way streets all the time? I don’t believe so. If the uptown area is congested enough, then Lincoln St. from Locke to Madison and' Walnut from Locke to Madison—would possibly be the best solution. Centennial St. though never—the only times it is really congested are during basketball games, then the police dept, could handle the problem, no longer than it lasts. Ed Kern Mr. Editor: If this town is to grow it has to have 3 things. 1. A suitable sewage disposal plant, which the town is in the process of building now. 2. Better Utilities—No plant of even Coppes or Mutschler size could even think of building here because of lack of electrical power. Why don’t we hear of our Utilities Company thinking of expanding so they could supply the needed power. If they can’t or won’t why even think of Nappanee growing because of this factor it never will be able to. 3. People who want to see Nappanee grow realize that the No. 2 factor is the one real cause and try to get something started so it’ll be a reality and not merely words that otherwise will be printed year after year' until they can forget to even say it. Our fair town will never grow with factories like the boat co. that is going to” start in the east side of town. To people who’ll finally want to build and live here there is going to have to be a plant of decent size that will pay livable wages. The rate Nappanee’s growing the Northwood Cos. to the North of Nappanee will have possibly 6 new homes in the next 5 years, that is if they build there, plus the one that’s being started. Ed Kern Stockholm, Sweden, is built on the mainland, and on 13 islands. The subway runs over bridges between islands. Many natives prefer a boat to an auto-there is more use “for it.

A WORD PROM AN INTERESTED CITIZEN In 1919 the Judge of the Circuit Court appointed two men and one woman, the local School Board named one man and one woman, and the Town Council chose one man and one Woman, these seven persons were to organize and form a Public Library Board. One of the first tasks of this Board was to select a site and start a Library. After looking at various locations the north-west •'orner of the present lot was chosen, with the plan that whenever possible the entire quarter of that block would be purchased. A Building Fund was set up into which were added ail gifts, rents, receipts from tag days and other ways which were used to make money. Practically all tax money was used for books and library expenses. Locke and Union Townships were added to the town for library service and income. The Board changed members not too often, but some moved away, others passed on. Much credit for the present building must go to Claude R. Stoops who gave much of his time trying to find ways to get a new building and the present building is the result. Others who gave much of their time without any renumeration were N. A. Lehman, Bessie Brown, Jacob Hartman, Harry B. Greene, Mrs. Harley Richert, Mrs. Harold Coppes, who served as secretary for many years, Samuel Ringenberg, A. E. Wright, George Faler, Edgar Ringgepberg, Lula Eby, Ira Dunham, J. S. Slabaugh, Mel Hahn, Nelle Playne, Mrs. George Duckwall, Franklyn Deisch, others, snd the present Board all have had the dream of making the Library building and grounds one of the nicest places in town. Finally with gifts from friends and the Improvement Fund the last of the longed for property was purchased and landscaped. Now some persons who never served on the Library Board want this Board to pull out all this landscaping, trees, lawn, etc., to make a public parking lot. The Board has provided parking space for employees of the Library and the present Trustees. Many of the persons who signed the petition which was presented to the City Council asking to make the east side of the property a public parking lot, very seldom if ever enter the Library

doors, never give any of their time or do a thing for the Library. Some who signed said petition do not want to walk from the now public parking lots, one, two or maybe three blocks to their places of business. When I went to-sehool we had to walk eightjelr ten blocks four times a day to and from school and our Fathers had to walk to their work. Sure, we had no automobiles to drive, but we did have legs the same as people have today and we used them. We do not blame people for not walking when they can ride. But we do oppose spoiling one of the nicest spots in our town and destroying the dream and desire of all Library Boards when they want to contribute a most beautiful and outstanding building and grounds to Nappanee. May we keep our lovely public buildings and not sacrifice beautiful grounds to public greed. Mrs. U. J. Shively The writer of this article was one .of the members appointed in 1919 and served for 35 years and for many years was president of the Board. Lions Have Work Night Last Week Wednesday, April 25th, was Lions work night at Stauffer Park. With about 35 Lions showing up, the work included grooming the baseball field, screening the backstop, cutting down a dead tree, building another shelter, and working on an underground water main in far right field. When night time came and it was too dark to continue working, the Lions sat down to a supper prepared by Howard Brumbaugh and president Merrill Schmeltz.

Jaycees Complete It's "Play Ball" A Busy Year On May 19

The Nappanee Jaycees have just completed a very busy year of activities for the improvement of their community. "The past year’s activities which included over 30 civic projects have been varied to benefit as many people of the community as possible,” states Herb Cripe, retiring president. In the youth and sports category, the club was extremely active with the sponsorship of Boy Scout Troop No. 33 and the Injectors Club. The Jaycees also conducted other youth and sports projects, such as Junior Golf, Soap Box Derby, Junior Miss Pageant, Klondike Derby, and the Easter Egg Hunt. Os these projects, Junior Golf and the Junior Miss Pageant were added to last year’s program. The Jaycees also completed two religious activities projects during the year. The Jaycee Christmas Concert featuring the Menno Singers and the Easter Sunrise Service were well received by the community. Other civic projects were the Auto Safety Lane Check in cooperation with the local police department, participation in the Syracuse-Wawasee Water Safety Program, re-located the portable bleachers to accommodate park and school activities, built grade school crossing guard shelter, and sponsored the Red Cross Blood Bank.

The Jaycees also contributed to the improvement of the parks by presenting the city with a playground slide, 15 foot portable bleacher section, and twelve trash receptacles. The Jaycees financed their year’s activities from the proceeds of three money-making projects, the Pony Pull, the Jaycee Fair, and the Stauffer Park Concession Stand. The organization recently rounded out their year’s program with the Inaugural Banquet which honored all of the outstanding Jaycees for their contributions to this successful year.

The church teams are starting to get ready for another season of slow pitch. Again, dinner schedules will be disrupted as old and young get out to bring honor to their churches. The baseball season will officially open on Saturday, May 19. Mayor Ralph Greene will be asked to throw out the first ball, and he is taking osteopathic treatments to get his arm in some kind of shape for that event. Most of the contracts have al> ready been signed, although there are an unusual amount of holdouts. Such stars as Middaugh, Om, Anderson, Brunso, and Dyck, having read about how well Maris did, are still trying to get bigger salaries. Some of the players had other jobs during the winter. Heimach, for example, has beten practicing preaching toward the day when he gets too old for sports, and that grand old man of baseball, Charlie Lehman, has been working in a hardware store. Many of the players took five day vacations in February and are reported to be well rested. Reports that Max Bigler would be retired are apparently unfounded. Although his wind isn’t as sound, he will undoubtedly play unless a trade can be arranged, now an unlikely prospect. The Methodists deny merger with the Presbyterians. Manager McCord is unhappy that he will have to field many of the old reliables, but that will be the cross he must bear. The Amish Antelopes are the team to watch this year as they are reported to be a greatly improved team. Spurning offers to do Gilette commercials, they have devoted this spring to rugged workouts. So it’s play ball on the 19th. May the best team win.

MOTHER'S DAY May is the month for Mother’s Day It comes but once a year, The day of gifts and flowers And spreading of good cheer. The gifts are wrapped with tender care Be they great or even small And are received with thanks and prayer For love goes with them all. Mother knows we like to send •The good that things we do. Some folks have no money to spend But show their. love for Mother too. Not in gifts or not in flowers But in loving service every day. They help lighten her work filled hours And show their lovtf W4Any ways S3 af.U .sNow why should there be just one day Set aside each year When there are 365 of them To fill with love and gifts and cheer So let’s make this a glorious day And let tomorrows be the same Let each day be her’s through life’s pathway Let us love and honor Mother’s name.
