For example, you are always pointing out 4>w late the School Board meets. You make it sound as though they are really working hard. I would like to know what, if anything, the Board has accomplished so fa#. If you would look at the crowded conditions of Central School, you'd know that we are geting ourselves in a real mess. The former editor of the Ad-vance-News went to School Board meetings and reported accurately the situation as he saw it. He didn’t rely on information handed him by the Superintendent’s office. He wash’t afTaid to tell the facts, even

though it might step on some people’s toes. The present Advance - News, on the other hand, never tries to stand for anything. The reorganization of this school district (which you helped sell) has meant nothing but trouble for Nappanee. Our schools right here in town are starting to suffer, and already we are losing good teachers as a result. It’s up to you if you want to print this letter, although it’s meant as a personal suggestion. If you do print it. please don’t print my name. NAME WITHHELD The following letter was received by Mrs. Charles Mutschler from Wilbur Hershberger. He is in Algeria with the Mennonite Central Committee. May 2, 1964 Dear Mrs. Mutschler: I have been thinking the last few days that maybe you would enjoy hearing about my work here in Algeria, so I decided to write. It all started in October of last year when I volunteered 2 years of service to the MCC Mennonite Central Committee. In December t received an assignment in Algeria and left for Akron, Pa. on January 21, 1964 for 2 weeks of orientation. On February 15 I sailed from New York to Rotterdam, Holland. After spending 5 days in Frank furt, Germany 1 left by ear and went to Marsielle, France and from

there sailed across the Sea to Phillipville, Algeria. After spending 5 weeks in Algiers studying the French language under a private French tutor, I am back at the demonstration farm. The farm consists of 35 hectors on which we try to demonstrate to the people the value of keeping their fields free from weeds. We also have a community development program for The surrounding villages. In this program we are working directly with the people and trying to get them to see the value of having fresh fruits and vegetables to eat instead of just eating the native dish of couscous all the time. This year we have 30 young fellow's from the surrounding area who have small plots of ground in which they are growing a variety of vegetables. Within the next few years we hope to expand this program. Another area of community development we have just begun is that of covering the open wells with hand pumps. In many of the open wells the water is dirty and hardly fit to drink. At the present time we have covered 4 wells. Along with the farm we are operating a mechanical school for boys and a school for girls at the Old French social center. In the mechanics school the boys learn how to weld and file and also tear down and rebuild car engines. Along with this the boys have 1 hour of French study per day. The native language is Arabic. Most of the younger generation can speak French fairly well, but the older generation know only the native language. Since I am not much of a farmer, you are probably wondering why I’m over here. .My specific assignment is to construct some buildings here on the farm and also to supervise a building project up in the mountains. We have at the present time a building project in the mountains. In this project we are building ten

apartments for families which had their roofs bombed during the French-Algerian War. The people for whom we are building this consented to help work on the project, but many times they did not help at all. This project should be completed in about 2 weeks. Yesterday the men argued almost all afternoon about who was going to live whefe. but once it was settled they all were very happy. The" only major thing that has to be done yet is the laying of the stone for the courtyard walls. These the men will lay before they are permitted to move in. Now they are very enthusiastic and want to get the work done so that they can move in. Seeing their enthusiasm makes all the problems which we had in developing the project worthwhile. On, the other side of the mountain is a group of 8 families which also had their roofs blown off during the w'ar, and who are now living in small dirty, filthy tents. If our present plans carry, we will begin a similar project there this coming fall. These houses will be built out of stone of which there is plenty.

The weather has been nice and warm although it does get quite cool in the evenings after the sun goes down. li hasn’t rained for the past S weeks except for today we have had intermitent s.iowers for which we were all very thankful for. Along with my other hobbies, I have started anew one, that of collecting stamps. I feel that I need something to keep me busy in my leisure hours so that 1 don’t think too much of all the comforts and luxuries I had back home. You may wonder what the comforts and luxuries are that I spoke about. Well, in the mountains at the building project we have no electric and no running water. It is a very simple life in the mountains but I really enjoy it. With no electricity we usually go to bed with the sun and rise with it. This brings back an old saying of Ben Franklin’s, “Early to bed early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” I don't know about the “wealthy and wise” but it sure makes us healthy. Not everyone can come to Algeria, but they can pray. Would you please pray for the work which is being done here and also for the organizations of CCSA and MCC as they plan for new projects in the future months? Sincerely yours, Wilbur Hershberger ENTERTAIN BRIDE & GROOM Mr. and Mrs. Jesse E. Frazier were guests for a wedding dinner on Sunday at the home of his daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Ivy Dettwiler, R 2, Syracuse. Also present was their son, Junior Dettwiler and family of South Bend. Jesse E. Frazier and Susie Hall of Nappanee were married by Rev. Kilmer at his home on May 16. Philosophy has been defined as common sense in a tuxedo.

Mutschler Bros. Receives Award lln Competition Mutschler Brothers Company, leading manufacturer of hardwood storage components, has been awarded a Certificate of Merit in the 1964 Building Products Liter|at ure Competition, sponsored by the American Institute of Architects and the Producers’ Council, Inc. One of the four top awards in its category, promotional literature, it will be accepted by R. C. Chapman, vice president - marketing, Mutschler, at the AIA convention June 16 in St. Louis. Mutschler’s three-part entry included a specification sheet, architect’s work sheet and a -promotional introductory brochure on COMSTO, a new-concept line of movable, flexible, comprehensive storage components for schools. The material was prepared for use by architects as well as for school administrators. The fold-out specification sheet gives complete information on the basic COMSTO shell components which are available in wood or plastic in three heights, two depths and one width. Close-up photos of the interior fittings kits which outfit them for storage purposes are grouped according to the various shells in which they may be used. There is a page of suggested combinations of interior fittings for various school uses. Options and choices available in COMSTO shells are also listed. The fold-out sheet is printed on only one side, so that all necessary information is visible at once. It is sized and punched to fit a standard three-ring binder, and carries the AIA file number. An important companion piece to the specification sheet is an architect’s work sheet. The information is organized so that the architect need only check off his

choices as to shells, materials, colors, bases, kits, doors, tops, etc. Space is provided for a sketch of the room plan. The third piece, a brochure, introduces COMSTO, pointing out its flexibility features and showing ways in which it can be used. The COMSTO literature will be included in an award booklet being prepared for the AIA convention. It will also be on display, along with the other winners. There were a toLfl, qjl entries in the competition, which is held annually to encourage more functional building products literature to better serve the needs of architects. Forty-four awards were given in five divisions. S.S. NUMBERS Anticipating the annual June rush for social security numbers, Herbert O. Bultemeier, district manager of the Social Security Administration, urged all high school students who do not have social sc curity cards and are planning to work during the summer to apply for their numbers without delay. If a card has been lost it takes several days to locate the original number and this may cause inconvenience both to the student and new employer. “Your employer will demand to see your card, not just a number written on a piece of paper or given from memory. There is too much chance for error unless the number is copied directly from the card,” he said. Application blanks are available at the local Post Office or from the Social Security office in Elk hart.

About 10 p.m. Thursday night, Mrs. Kenneth Mitschelen was visiting with Mrs. Lois Weldy out in the yard. They noticed four lights evenly spaced in the sky. They wondered at" the time why airplanes would be flying in formation at night. Mrs. Mitschelen said that the lights appeared to be a reddish amber and were seen east of Nappanee traveling in a northerly direction. She said that she didn’t think anything more about it until she heard on the radio that there had been many reports of “flying saucers” in the Elkhart area.
