LETTERS I Mr. Don Nichols Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Don: I was interested in your recent editorial “Who Are We For”? I am glad you are not like the man that said, “I have my mind made up, don’t confuse me with facts”. What are the facts? You know, Jack Arnott knows and everyone else knows that industry has bypassed Nappanee in recent years. How and why did the R. R. Donnelly Plant pick an area outside of Warsaw? Why did Ivers-Lee Cos. pick little Lhipsht wana in which to build a 40,000 square foot modern drug packaging plant employing 75 people? The plant opened last week in Shipshewana brought there by the combined efforts of the Town Board, Lions Club and the president of the Shipshewana State Bank. I think we all realize that Nappanee will never be an industrial city and I wouldn’t like for it to change too much, but I believe two or three more factories of diversified industries, employing two, three or four hundred more local people is what our city needs. Think of the young people that work out of town and eventually move away. Check our school en rollment and figure out the increasing numbers of local youngsters that will be looking for jobs (locally I hope) in the years to come. With the new port opening on Lake Michigan I look for the northern third of Indiana to increase industrially and we must be ready for it when it comes. Secur ;ng industry is no simple matter. In 1962 an estimated 14,000 private and public organizations were involved in the business of attracting new industry with only a few hundred firms building new plants in

any given year. I cannot and will not promise Nappanee any new industry if I am elected, HOWTSVER, 1 do promise in my official capacity as Mayor with an aggressive, cooperative Democratic City Council to find the reasons why with all of our assets industry has located elseAiere. For instance can our Utilities Cos. furnish enough electric power at all times for any factory that might want to locate here, is ojr water supply adequate and good enough for firms that need lots of water in their operations, is it really true as rumor would have us believe that a small clique of men in this town are against new industry and if so, for what reason? As you khow, Don, it is hard for a private citizen to get the right answers to these questions, but in an official capacity I will demand and get these answers “let the chips fall where they may”. I have been asked if I really want the job of being Nappanee’s Mayor. I most certainly do! I sought the nomination from the Democratic Party and earnestly reek to be elected. I will assume complete responsibility for my appointed officials, expect and welcome criticism from the people trying to do what is best for everyone, not just a favored few. I don’t want to be classified as a politician, but as an average citizen cho sen by the people with whom 1 live to do a job as they would have me do it. Respectfully Yours, ''Robert P. Sinclair V ——— - Editor Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Editor: Who are you trying to kid? Ever since you’ve been here, you publicize everything the Republicans do. Even when seme wife of a politician goes on a trip, you write

It up. \ You say you want new industry, but the Republicans haven’t done anything to help us. In the same issue when you claim not to take sides, you have a front page story about a meeting of the Republi can women, none of whom are in terested in whether or not Nap panee gets anew industry. So why don’t you wake up? A DEMOCRAT • Dear Sir: Whether one practices a vice behind the barn or in full view ot the public does not make the vice less objectionable. Your newspaper and almost all other publications glamorise the temptations which parents try to teach their children to avoid. Ads show glamorous persons doing things we try to tell our children are wrong. Prominent persons, including teachers and editors o* weekly newspapers are seen smoking in places they shouldn’t be. Instead of telling teachers it’s all right to smoke and to let our children know they smoke, why don’t you try and adjust your owr. thinking to the teachings of the Bible?

Sept. 10, 1063 Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Sirs: Enclosed is our check covering a one-year renewal to our present subscription of the Nappanee Ad-vance-News. Although we have been gone from Nappanee eight years we get back to town often to see our family and friends. Also we do so enjoy reading news of our family and friends when we receive our weekly issue of the Advance-News. Howard was born and raised in Nappanee, the son of John and Cora Hoover, 458 W. Centennial. He has two sisters, Mrs. Ralph Greene and Mrs. Wendell Sheets, and one brother, Ned, living in Nappanee. After graduating from Ball State Teachers College, Howard was employed in Nappanee by both Neuhauser Hatcheries and the Napi'.anee Milling Cos. I was employed by the school system as secretary to the Supt. of Schools. We moved to Monticello while Howard was still in the employ of the Nappanee Milling Company. After living here a year or so though he was persuaded to go with the Kquitable Life Assurance Society in this locale the same company his brother-in-law, Ralph Greene, is associated with there in Nappanee. Friends of ours back home there, especially those in the school system, may be interested to know of

Howard’s recent appointment to the School Board here. So on a separate sheet I will re-type exirpts from our local paper, the Monticello Daily Herald-Journal, May 28th, telling of the' appointment which was effective July Ist. It you would wish to use any or all of it in the Advance-News we would appreciate the people back ‘ home” knowing about this honor and responsibility Howard has assumed. Sincerely, Edith L. Hoover (Exerpts from an article appearing in the Monticello Daily HeraldJournal. May 28, 1963) The Headline in the paper that dav read: “Two Changes in Twin Lakes School Board Here” Howard Hoover, Parker Kilmer To Succeed Leslie Paschen and Earl Luce; Other 5 Members Reelected A committee of 23 persons, composed of township advisory boards : n the Twin Lakes School Corp., and including the five-member Monticello City Council, met at the council chambers here Monday night to nominate and elect the seven-member school board for the Twin Lakes School Corp. The “committee of 23” first met last November to name an interim seven-member board to serve from January 1, 1963 to July of this year. Five of the persons elected last November were re-elected at last night’s meeting and two others were replaced. The two new members elected last night were both from Union Township. Howard W. Hoover, and Parker W. Kilmer. They will succeed Earl Luse, Republican and Leslie Pashen, Democrat. Hoover was appointed to a four-year term rr.d Kilmer for two years. Mr. Hoover, 37, is a native of Nappanee, and has lived here (in Monticello, Union Township) for Ihe past eight years. He and his family of two sons (Randy, 10, and Gregg, 6) reside in the Oak Park Addition. Mr. Hoover graduated from Ball State in 1950 and is a licensed ) teacher in commercial studies. Al- ! though he has never followed teaching as a fulltime profession, he has assisted here several times as a substitute intructor. He is the local area representative for the Equitable Life Assurance Society. An active member of the Presbyterian church in Monticello, Mr. Hoover is active in several organizations. He is also chairman of the White County Red Cross and was instrumental in the establishing of a blood bank at the White County Memorial Hospital. One way to tell high school boys from high school girls nowdays, is that the girls have the biggest feet.

Book Available For Prospective College Students The State Bank of Nappanee has a supply of booklets which thev have made available to high school students. Written in a combination cartoon and graphic illustration, i; is entitled “Going to College?”. Pointing out the advantages of going to college, the book then shows how it is possible for a young person to get to college today. The main things to have, it says, are the desire, ability, and ihe money. The booklet then shows how to determine whether the student has these qualifications or how to get them. Discussing in simple form the ■vpes of college education available, methods of preparing for coi lege, and ways to finance an edu cation, the book should be of general interest to both parents and the students.

Hard Work Going On For Musical The present experiences of Nappanee Civic Theater must be typical of any small community theater group. In the midst of rehearsals for “South Pacific”, a production which most small groups would avoid as being too ambitious, those involved are at the stage of panic as the weeks slip by, and the final date draws near. There are always a few people who like to come down and see how things are going. At this point, wr.en lines are still unlearned and positions on stage not clearly defined, they must wonder if this show will ever get off the ground But they miss the late evening sessions where smaller details are being hammered out by long, arduous work. “South Pacific” has more than its share of talent. Certain scenes, still few and far between, now, even on the bare stage, begin to shape up as show stoppers. Jeannie Z'mmerman and Steve Phillips, for example, are working “behind the scenes”, brushing up not only on their action and song but on the mastery of French, which they must speak. Ron Foeckler and Cheryl Dennis have been contributing their talents to what promises to be a scene of great beauty. Nancy Curtis, the show’s Nellie Forbush, her songs already in the stage of being ready for presenta tion, new labors to master the many emotions she must put across. Her opposite, Dick Deardorff, who is Emile Deßeeque, with a voice
