Long Beach has an antisubmarine rocket (ASROC) for use in the event of submarine threat and five-inch guns for defense against low flying aircraft and for surface targets. The nuclear reactors providing Long Beach’s power give her an almost unlimited cruising range without the need of refueling. Long Beach normally operates out of Norfolk, Va.

TALK OF THE TOWN BY BETTY JOHNSON 773-3385

Thank you readers for all the phone calls I had this week in response to my plea for news! This i.: a wonderful time of year for entertaining and going places, and I appreciate your giving me your news so I can share it with others. Keep calling and I’ll keep writing! Among visitors in Nappanee last week were Dr. and Mrs. Daniel C. Moore of Seattle, Washington. They were here visiting Mrs. Moore’s parents, the Arthur Tob’ases, and other relatives. The Moores were enroute to Miami, Florida, and from there they were scheduled to leave by plane Thursday for Buenos Aires, where they were to be guests of the South American government. Dr. Moore is a well known anesthesiologist in Seattle and will give lectures on his specialized field of medicine while he is in South America. The four Moore children are staying at home in Seattle while their parents are traveling. Friends will best remember Mrs. Moore as Betty Tobias, formerly of Nappanee. Although the fishing was reportedly just fair in Canada last week, Slim Burnham and Glen Geyer almost brought back another trophy from their trip! While the boys were out fishing one day, a hungry bear tore out the windows of their cabin, ransacked the place, and licked a greasy frying pan clean. Next day the boys lay in wait with a gun, but Sir Bruin proved too smart to return to the scene of his crime!

Four local families should be enjoying vension at their dinner tables for a while as the result of a weeks hunting trip near Douglas, Wyoming! Dean Guard, Dave Lender, Clayton Cooper, and Bob Schmeltz returned last week-end from a camping and hunting expedition in that region. The fellows •?ach bagged a buck deer and enjoyed their week of sleeping under the stars -and cooking their own meals in the open.

Another local hunting group, who returned home Friday evening from Laramie, Wyoming, included Ron Keister, Ben Lutes, and Gle-i Reed. The sportsmen returned triumphant with two buck deer and packages of trout and reported the weather was quite hot but beautiful in theii hunting area. They stayed with the Keith Fowlers, former residents of Nappanee, and also enjoyed visiting with Keith's sister and husband, the Dor. Millers. Mrs. Miller works in the campus bookstore of the University of Wyoming and her husband is the campus chief of police. Don managed to secure three extra tickets for the Wyoming-Utah football game and ,the group had the pleasure of watching Wyoming upset Utah with a score of 21-14. Last week I reported that school friends, “Butch” Pippen Elliott, now of Vernon, Texas, and “Sistie” Chapman Moffitt of New York City were racing the stork! Well, exuberant “Sistie” came in first with a fine baby girl born last Wednesday, and the very next day young Jennifer Lynn Elliott arrived to gladden the hearts of her happy parents and relatives! Proud grandparents, the Dick Chapmans, left over the weekend to join “Sistie”, her husband John, and the little newcomer to their home in New York, and Charlotte Pippen left by bus Saturday for the long trip to Texas. The two new little girls are first additions to the family tree

for both the John Miffitts and Tom Elliotts and news of their arrival was the topic of much rejoicing in Nappanee last week! For those of you who might like to have the Elliotts new address, it is 2905 Fourteenth Drive, Vernon, Texas. Anew baby girl was also a welcome addition to the George Byers family of near Lafayette. Mrs. Berneice Byers is at their home helping to care for her little grand daughter and the other three Byers children two girls and a boy! More baby news which might interest some of our readers is a report of the arrival of a fourth son to the Bernell Slabaughs of Indianapolis. The Slabaughs despair of ever having a little girl! Mrs. Florence Mattem of Nappanee is a grandmother of the new baby. A welcome visitor to Nappanee is Mrs. Mary Fowler of Evansville, v;ho is presently staying at the home of her daughter and family, the Ray Hopewells. Mrs. Fowler has made a number of friends here and is a special favorite of several bridge groups for whom she subs when she is visiting our town! Traveling to Anderson, South Carolina, this week are the Devon Richmonds. While Devon is going on business for Mutschler’s, to su pervise the installation of kitchen facilitise in a school in Anderson, Mrs. Richmond was happy to go along for the ride and to keep him company on the trip. She • hopes to do a little sight-seeing in that region while Devon is busy on the job! Judging from enthusiastic reports from both pupils and teachers at the Presbyterian Play School, their first week of classes was a huge success' 21 youngsters are registered for the fall semester 18 full time students and three on a visitor basis. Mrs. George lose, who is in charge of the school, reports that this is as large a group as they can accomodate at present but anyone wishing to place a childs name on a waiting or visiting list may call her for information. Among the many new activities enjoyed by the youngsters last week was a science corner featuring milk-pods for the children to examine, ask about and open. One boy brought his turtles to school and they proved to be a very popular addition to the class-room! Other interesting things to keep the little folks happy and busy include a hat tree offering a variety of dress-up hats to suit the mood of the child each day. The playhouse room is a favorite of the little girls and the boys like the more noisy activity in the carpenter shop. On Friday, the children enjoyed a session of water play during which time they blew bubbles, washed doll dishes, and even painted the porch with brushes and water! A library room is also available for those children who prefer a quiet time and new books are brought in each week from our public library. Each day the children have a prayer at refreshment time and when the teacher gave each child a copy of the prayer to take home, one little girl is reported to have greeted her mother with news that she now had home-work! I’m not sure who is having more fun teachers or pupils —but it sounds like a wellplanned, happy atmosphere for the pre-schoolers, doesn’t it? Mrs. Grace Miller reports that our local branch of the WCTU mailed a nine pound package of clothing on July 29 to St. Christopher s Home in Hong Kong, Chnia. They recently received word that the package of kimonas and flannel squares was received and much appreciated. This particular institution operates with aid from the Christian Children’s Fund which administers to needy children of all faiths. The ladies of our local

group were happy to hear that their gift had been received and put to immediate use. Loyal Bulldog fans, who came all the way from Indianapolis to attend the home-coming game and visit for the week-end are former residents, Dr. and Mrs. Ray Fleetwood. They were house guests of the Wayne Dunham family. Local fans who attended the Pur-due-Notre Dame football game in Lafayette Saturday were the Dave Slalnakers and Fred Lopps. The Earl Geyers of Elkhart accompan ied the Lopps and they were also joined at the game by their two -.ons, Vance and Stanley, who are both students in Indianapolis. The Rudy Dennises hosted a surprise party last Saturday evening ihat turned out to be a surprise for them too! A group of friends were invited to a Chinese dinner at the Dennis home and two of the ladies, Ann Barrick and Juanita Hopewell, were not told it actually was intended to be a birthday celebration for them. Guests were told to dress up a bit for the occasion and they in turn surprised the Dennisses by all coming in Chinese -ostumes. Among those who en joyed eating chow mein with chopsticks were the Ray Hopewells, Howard Barricks, Gil Jenkins, and Bob Callanders. The birthday girls had the traditional cake with canlies and received gifts at their Chinese birthday party! Don’t forget to attend the Kiwanis auction this Saturday! Proceeds from the sale will go into the community swimming pool fund. It will take much hard work and more money raising projects to help get those plans from the drawing board to the diving board stage. I hope club groups, who annually contribute money to various worth while causes, will remember to add our community swimming pool project to their list!

HONORED AT SHOWERS Miss Lou Ann Wyman, who will become the bride of Dean Thompson on October 19, was recently honored at two bridal showers. The first was given by Mrs. Jay Kliene at her home in Wakarusa on Sunday, Sept. 29. There were about 20 guests present from Wakarusa, Goshen and Nappanee. She was also guest of honor at a shower given by Mrs. Donald Rink in Nappanee on October 2. There were 16 present to enjoy the iccasion.

WHY SHOP AT NUNEMAKER'S - HERE ARE 12 REASONS WHY!

UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: The fellers at the country store Saturday night was discussing the changing times. The Republicans claimed they was changing fer the worse and the Democrats was allowing as ho w we never had it so good. Zeke Grubb, that votes both ways, depending on how farm prices is looking at election time, was setting as the Judee. Ed Doolittle, that wears Abe Lincoln’s picture in the back of his pocket watch, said things had hit the bottom and any change afore 1964 would be down hill. He told the fellers even the Federal highway signs was gitting so complicated since we crossed the New Frontier that a one-gallus man couldn’t tell if he was going or coming. He reported he went on a fishing trip last week and coming back they got on one of them new Inter-state highways and they was a sign about ever mile to “Keep Off The Median.” He said they stopped a patrolman and ask him what it meant and he told ’em it meant they didn’t allow no messing around in the middle. Now there, claimed Ed, was a good Republican, a feller that give it to you so’s you could understand it. Clem Webster, chairman of the Democrat delegation, argued that these things was caused by

a population explosion of automobile, that politics didn’t have nothing to do with it. Fer instant, he said we now got drive-in banks, drug stores and such things that makes traffic very confusing and calls fer a heap of signs. Judge Zeke didn’t pernounce sentence either way, but it looked like he was leaning a little with the Republicans. He said he was reading where a writer feller named Burke Davis had saw this sign at street corner: RIGHT TURN ONLY Between 9 a.m. & 4 p.m. Ever other Wednesday, Except during PTA Meeting. ON ODD FRIDAY, Left Only Farthermore, stated Zeke, traffic problems didn’t have nothing to do with drive in banks. Zeke allowed a= how he was reading that they was installed so’s the cashier could git a look onct in a while at the cars the bank owned. Bug Hookum said he didn’t know if we was going uphill or down hill but ever time he come to a curve in the road he run into more taxes, more red tape, and less rights. Personal, Mister Editor, I didn’t git in the argument one way or the other on account of I ain’t got no money worries at the moment. I have run complete out of money. Yours truly, Uncle Eb
