Crowds poured into Nappanee Friday and Saturday for Sidewalk Days. Before the store’s were open on Friday, there were many people eagerly awaiting the bargains. Children stood in line to ride on the ferris wheel.

TALK OF THE TOWN 3Y BETTY JOHNSON 773-3385

The main topic of conversation in Nappanee last week concerned the all out effort for Sidewalk Days. Aside from supervising some cub scouts for a few hours at their soft drink stand, my main job seemed to be that of making ham salad for the ham salad sandwiches being sold in front tff our drug store. I suppose almost every merchant’s wife in town was recruited for some kind of duty to help make the two day event a success! Among those people who have been vacationing lately are the Fred Speichers who returned home last week from Hunstville, Alabama where they enjoyed a visit with the Weldon Harbaughs and small daughter, Becky. Mrs. Harbaugh is the former Ruth Speicher of Nappanee, only daughter of the Speichers, and she has been making her home in Huntsville for the past three years while her husband worked at the Redsitone Arsenal. The Harbaughs are now in the process of moving to Titusville, Florida, where Mr. Harbbaugh will work on the space program at Cape Canaveral for Chrysler Corporation as a Senior Systems Test and Launch Engineer—a most impressive title for a most important joh 1 The Speichers also stopped over in Indianapolis enroute home to attend the American Legion Convention. Mrs. Speicher’s mother, Mrs. Gabriel Beigh, who makes her home with them, visited at the homes of her grandson, the William Stillsons, near Warsaw and . also the Archie Hofferts of North Webster while the Speichers were vacationing She returned home Sunday with the Hofferts and their two sons who remaind as guests for Sunday dinner in the Speicher

Still Much Wild Marijuana In This Area An inspector for the Indiana State Board of Pharmacy was in Elkhart County recently searching for wild growth of marijuana. S. M. Wynkoop found this county a fertile source of the weed’s growth. “Elkhart, Jasper, Kosciusko, Newon, and Pulaski counties arc the 5 wofst in the state of Indiana lor widespread growth of mariju- ( ana,” Wynkoop said. There is evi-' dence that the county marijuana “crop” has been harvested in the past for processing and illegal sale in Chicago and other large cities in Indiana. “If people would only comprehend the dangers of allowing the weed" to grow on their property, the problem would be half-solved,” Wynkoop said. Marijuana is indigenous to muck, and this accounts for the widespread growth here. At this time of year, the plant is 3 to 5 feet high The woody stem supports an uneven number of serrated, or jagged, Later in the season the hardy plant may grow to great heights, as much as ten to twelve feet. Though marijuana, sometimes called wild hemp, used to be raised commercially ;n this country for rope, the leaves are used by un scrupulous persons to produce an illegal narcotic, often in the form of cigarettes. Use of marijuana may lead to bbrain damage and the formation of narcotic addiction. “The dangers of allowing marijuana to fall into the hands of high school and college-age students are awesome,” Wynkoop said. “State and county highway officials in all counties have pledged their full cooperation in eradicating the weed along the highways,” said Wynkoop, “and managers of some of the county’s largest farm ing enterprises have also promised their help.” Marijuana weeds found growing by public officials must be destroyed by owners or tenants of the land, pursuant to Indiana law. The most effective and efficient herbicide for this problem is 2-4-D weed and brush killer. If the weeds -are destroyed after 15 days of notice by the pharmacy board, the township trustee, on further notice, shall proceed to destroy the weeds. Do not wait until you are notified to destroy the weed. Examine your property carefully and report any growth to the Indiana Board of Fharmacy, Room .1005, State Office Building, Indianapolis.
