fdryp i LETTERS TO m THE EDITOR

(Editor's note: We're breaking a rule here. Normally, we don't print a letter unless we know who it's from. In tMs case. Hie letter writer was idwfifled by others. But as the latter sayrs, we have the space this week). / \ Dear Editor, I read your article on the complaints registered to the Board of Works albout Civic Theater members creating a disturbance while the girls were trying to rehearse for the Junior Pageant. First of all I would like to say that I felt your report was not very factual. Maybe you hadn’t had much sleep Friday night and were catching up on it during the Board of Works meeting. The

members of Civic Theater who were cleaning up that night were supposed to have cleaned the pavilion up the night before. They made so much noise that the girls couldn’t even hear the people who were instructing them! You make it sound as though the Jaycees are down on the Civic Theater. This is definitely pot so! You receive the lEayc.ee bulletin (We call it a NEWSLETTER, thank you!) so that you will be informed of current Jaycee activities. I have never seen you originate an article on your own about any of the projects which we included in the newsletter. However when a personal message is included in t h e Presidents remarks which you feel would make

good garbage reading you don’t hesitate to print it. The reason the President included in his remarks the fact that he was shocked about a couple of Jaycees helping Civic Theater but neglected the Jaycees, is because these members have neither attended a meeting or helped at a project this year, with the excuse that they don’t have time. He wasn’t knocking them for helping C : vic Theater but for not also using omne of their valuab’e time to help the Jaycees of which they are also members. It’s a shame that this town isn’t large enough for two newspapers. Maybe if you had a little competition the quality of your news reporting and newspaper in general would improve. There are many other important groups in this city besides Civic Theater and DIP Inc. Why not attend one of our Jaycee meetings some time and Let us fill you in on the many valuable projects our club sponsors for the people of this community. If nothing else this letter will help fill up the space, which appears to he the main reason for most of the articles in your bulletin (YOU call it a newspaper) A Disappointed Jaycee. (Another Editor's note: Our large staff of editors, reporters, and photgraphers are instructed to attend only those meetings Ip which they are invited.) Mr. Don Nichols Editor Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Don: I took the liberty of sending a copy of your editorial to the President of the Elkhart General Hospital Board - to make sure he saw it and add his thanks to mine for your interest and effort in annla’iding the virtues of Elkhart General Hospital. In our rather complex society today, most organizations direct a good deal of hard thought toward what might be described as ouibl'c understanding. Elkhart General Hospital is no exception. While they recognize clearly that the public’s final judgment will rest on the success of their efforts, they are confronted with the fact that in many instances the public has little awareness of

their countless activities. One of the major problems confronting hospitals today is the steady upward trend in costs. It’s almost like a ghost that periodically rattles its chains through every hospital in the country. As all public agencies, hospitals are and should be subject to close scrutiny. Well founded and constructive criticism can shape and form an agency or hospital so that it properly answers the needs of its community and society. To the best of my knowledge hospitals generally have accepted this level of criticism as wholesome and stimulating. Your remark “so often people are looking for a favorite charity” again reminds me of the hospital’s need for a foundation of some sort, whose purpose it is to encourage, secure and administer bequeath funds. Thanks for your help, Don. Sincerely, R. C. Chapman, Chairman Public Relations Committee Elkhart General Hospital Buy U.S. Saving Bonds.

who's cooking?

By R.IX. We have no objection to the natural influx of new words into our language, and an objection would he futile at best; but mispronunciations under the guise of modernity is something else. Our beef is with radio and television announcers who seem to be attempting to rewrite portions of the dictionary. First on the list came the word “amateur”. We’re asking for trouble mentioning this one. Sports shows, primarily golf shows, long ago started calling the non-prOfes-sional a word that sounded like an Instrument for measuring amperes. The popular pronunciation with the video set now seems to be AMMATER with no particular emphasis on any syllable. Recently, however, we heard one popular sportscaster give it the old tried and true AM’A-CHUR. We think we detected a fleeting expression which was half heroic, half apologetic. But recently, one of the local channels , has declared , a minor war on Webster’s Third New International Dictionary er silly deviation in pronouncing the word “expert”. They have merely kicked the emphasis back to the last syllable. So now, with them, the word is EX PERT. Don't believe a dietionary in existance would support that. Furthermore, it so draws attention to the word that the message is obscured. A commercial during a telecast last Monday evening put the crowning touch on the intentional mispronunciation hit. This time

the word was “precedent*”. Our phonetic spelling leaves something to be desired, but, again following Webster, it’s rather like PRES’ A-DENCDS with the first syllable getting the nod only slightly over the other two. But, by golly, it isn’t PRE’-€EED”-NTS with the seed standing,out like a beatle. at a barbers’ college. Perhaps we’ve hit on another good argument tor newspaper advertising. With that media, you may provide your own pronunciation. sotnn m mm The south Elementary School will have it* annual potluck Christmas supper Monday, December 6, at S:SO pju. Mrs. Waddle’s kindergarten classes will present a short program. All parents and children of South School art urged to attend. Bring your own table service, etc.

He will have completed almost two terms, which he has said he feels is enough. He was first appointed to the post for three years and was then elected for four. Mr. Bowers has indicated that he will support Fred Pletcher, his first deputy. The South Bend Tribune recently reported that Bernard Buckley, County Clerk, is interested in the Assessor’s nomination, because by law he cannot serve more than two terms as Clerk. Pletcher, the son of Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Pletcher, is a former Goshen auto dealer and state representative. He has not officially stated that he will seek the nomination for Assessor, but he is reported to be leaning toward it.
