TIME BOMB The population explosion is going at a dizzying pace. Its effects are already being felt in Indiana, with proposals for increased taxes to meet soaring public education costs. Where will the tax money come from for more classrooms? From ALL Indiana citizens, including the five InvestorOwned Electric Companies who, last year, paid more than $30,420,000 in local and State taxes—the largest such payment ever made by these utilities. This was equal to the amount needed to keep 87,650 children in school one full year. , In addition, the five Electric Companies’ Federal income tax provisions in 1962 totaled more than $54,550,000. This makes the five Investor-Owned Electric Companies the largest supporters of local, State and federal government services in iXjidiana.

Off The Curtis Clipboard Nancy s Curtis Mustn’t let the new column on birthdays get ahead of me this week, so we’ll start with a very special Happy Birthday to Mr. Robert Warren, my neighbor who was eighty years young on Monday. I just happen to know that his friends presented a lovely floral bouquet to his church in his honor and that his wife, Florence, entertained another neighbor, Mrs. Idola Best, for this occasion on Sunday. 9 I have been having quite an interesting series of chats with Mrs. Best on the subject of volunteer hospital work. Mrs. Best started as a member of the Elkhart General Hospital Auxiliary on October 10th, 1957, and is still a most active member. After a period of orientation, which all the volunteers enter, she was allowed to select the place in the hospital where she felt she would be happiest spending her voluntary hours. Mrs. Best chose the gift shop, Cheery Corner, and has been there ever since, except for some mornings which she spends assisting the Credit Manager with filing, admitting, etc. Only thirty-six hours per year are required of the ladies in this organization in order to remain active in the group. Mrs. Best has accumulated considerably more hours than this. She was recently honored for having chalked up one thousand hours in her five year period and as many as four hundred hours in 1562 alone. Mrs. Best tells me that the need for more women to give of their time and effort to support this type of work is very great and that all volunteers are treated with the utmost respect, appreciation and courtesy for the work that they do. The total membership of this particular organization is at present 399. They have 263 Active Members; 74 Associate Members; 53 Sustaining Members; 6 Life Memberships; and 3 Honorary Memberships. Some of the areas where volunteers serve so well are in thei Cheery Corner Food and Gift Sllop;. at the Reception Desk; at the* Information Desk; in Emergency; Junior Auxiliary; Psychiatric Department; Pediatric Department; Surgical and Central Supply; Gift Cart; Scheduling and Timekeeping; Office; Sewing; Bookkeeping; Baby Bathing Demonstrations; TbHrs; Patient Feeding; Publicity; by attending con-

Everything piles up handsomely in a Chevy n including savings

Imagine a low-loading wagon roomy enough to handle most anything you can heft—and still trim enough to slip into cramped parking spots. We imagined it, built it and called it Chevy 11. Made it as dependable as a wagon can get. And made it so it’ll keep piling up savings over the years. Those show up in the way

ventions of area and state groups to keep abreast of the developments and needs in auxiliaries. Mrs. Best is very sincere in her plea for more workers to enter into the service of others and .would be very happy to give information or help* to any other might be interested in giving some hours to this or a similiar worthy cause. Many of you were well- acquainted with the Mark Schrock family when they were living in Nappanee, and we always like to hear the news about our friends who have moved. This oast week, Mable’s mother, Mrs. John Frederick, drove to Manchester with Mrs. Delbert Fox so that they might be dinner guests at the Schrock home to help celebrate Karen’s seventeenth birthday. The ex-Nappanee classmates of Karen and Karl will be happy to know that they are ingrossed in school activities and church work in Manchester and that, though they are interested in the new activity, they still say there are many things they liked so much and miss about Nappanee. I think I might safely speak for many here when 1 say that we miss the talents and abilities of Karl and Karen, also, and wish them the best of everything in their new-found school and social lives. The weather continues to cool all our spirits daily, so let’s not •> "’’t to warm up to the Square Dance Club’s next meeting, February 2nd in the West Side Park Pavilion. It starts at 8:00 and you are all most welcome to attend and join in the fun. With my own spouse just returning from five days in Mexico City, our household should settle back to the normal routine, except, that is, for the sombrero I’m expecting to flaunt and the live alligator I’m afraid our daughter may be carrying in her hip pocket.

Does Our Cheering Section Puzzle A Foreigner? Recently a gentleman from Pakistan attended our local High School basketball game. Although basketball was not foreign to him, the antics of all of us in the crowd might have been. They are to a certain extent foreign to anyone who lives very far away from Indiana. In our day, high school students who were not athletes took advantage of the Friday night basketball game to get a date. Today, most of the girls sit together in one cheering block with an aisle between them and the boys. Apparently, however, this self chaperonage doesn’t deter the average girl, because we understand that there is still plenty of togetherness after a game. The girls are uniformly and attractively dressed. They have practiced intricate routines which involve use of elbows, shoulders, anu Hands. It took this newcomer many games to figure why, in the middle of the “B” team game, there was always a sudden burst of en-

thusiasm, emphasized by the whole cheering section rising to its collective feet. This, stupid, we were informed, is a tribute to the Varsity team which is leaving to get into their uniforms. Oh, we thought, how nice. It also took us many many months to figure out one particular yell, which said something about “Spare it”. What did they mean, what did they want to spare? Now we understand that this message tells the opponents (or someone) that "we got sparit”. If you didn’t live so close to Saracuse, you would call it “spirit”. Then there’s the band. This is unquestionably one of the big assets to a cheering section, and undoubtedly the largest single contribution to the overall color of the evening. Suddenly, they will break into the theme from “Exodus”, which is certain (we hope) to fill our opponents with the feeling of impending doom. Often they will bring the crowd to its foet with the Nappanee High School song, which words the aduits do not remember from their high school days. Then, silently and stealthily they steal away some time before the start of the second half and the cheering section must bounce their on th e j r knees strictly a cappella. we get dny angry letters, let us hasten to explain that we LOVE this cheering section. They add greatly to the excitement of thergame. Many of the young coeds, with the hair done in styles which remind us of Irene Castle or Theda Bara, actually have time to watch part of the game in progress. Their contribution to the ultimate success of the game cannot for a moment be discounted. But we couldn’t help but wonder what the gentle man from Pakistan thought as he watched them, because a man from Illinois was at first completely amazed by them.

93rd General Assembly Is Working Hard The Indiana General Assembly is still laboring of the matter of the budget and the means to raise additional funds. The Democrats are now talking about a budget of $1.5 billion, which is S3OO million more than the expected state revenue during the next two years but SIOO million less than the amount in the Governor’s budget message. The South Bend Tribune -reported 1 thtrtf' the Republ&jßg w<mffljj'like to cut it another wj rnimon. The Democrats want to build their tax program around a net income tax. Some Republicans apparently favor an increase in the gross income tax plus a 2 per cent sales tax. The budget bill was introduce last Thursday by Rep. Robert Rock, Democrat from Anderson. It was referred to the Budget Committee headed by Rep. John

Coppes, chairman of the House Wavs and Means Committee. This committee is working on a budget of its own which it hopes to

The Democrats in the General Assembly are preparing a bitii calling for a reshuffling of the: state’s congressional districts. They would, for example, c u Elkhart County out of the 3rd: Congressional District and add it to the 4th District. They would: add Democratic Starke County; to the 3rd District. Thus, the 3rd District of St. Joseph, LaPorte, Marshall, and Starke would almost assuredly be a safe Democratic district, while the 4th would remain Republican. Legislators are also showing* interest in revamping the state’B6 motor vehicle tax distribution hi?, aid county road programs and toi give cities and towns additional funds for street maintenance There is much talk of permissive legislation to enable towns, cife ies, and counties greater leeway in levying their own taxes tqsolve their own financial Some 200 bills have been tossejjj into the House and Senate ing a wide assortment of tooic§.j Everything from humane slaughtqjv of animals to repeal of the right to work law to upping the speqri, limit to 75 on dual lane niglft ways to a study of youth campiojj facilities are only a few. 5 j The senators and tiVes spend only a small amounjj of their time, in actual ..Ressfow* a; the General Assembly.
