LETTERS Dear Editor: On occasion you have asked the people of Naipipanee for their opinion on matters concerning various projects. I have my own opinion on the matter of selling the Nappanee Utilities Company’s Electrical Sys- ! tem. K’s still not too late to stop this sale. I would like to remind the Citizens that the sale of the 1 Electrical System is not such a good thing for Nappanee. They need not believe me, but when it’s too late, they need not be reminded, they’ll know from experience. By that time it would be hard to correct a mistake that should never have been made in the first place. Lets check on some figures. Net earnings after expenses for 1965

was $106,000.00. The appraised value o£ the Utilities Cos. was set at $1,400,000.00. Neit earnings for 1965 would be better than 7 Vz% of the appraised value of the Utilities Cos. That is probably better than any other business in or near Naippanee has done in a long time. The Council members want to sell the plant and put 1 million dolars to work earning interest at what rate, or maybe 5%? I’d rather take my chances on the at the same time avoid paying extra for street lighting and new heating systems for the Community Bldg, and City Hall. What would be your choice? On the other hand, if we keep the Plant it would mean quite a cost to expand. Would half a million dollars be enough? If so, the net profit for 1965 would have been better than 20% of that in-

vestment. Even at 1 million dollars it would still mean earnings for 1965 woud be better than 10% of that cost. The City Council is talking of a new building in place of the now existing one, so why not expand to the west. I have never heard of a business firm selling out because of growing business and a brighter future, have you? About the employees of the Utilities Cos. I would say most of the approximately $100,000.00 in wages paid to the employees yearly go to the merchants in Nappanee. Should this be of no concern to the merchants or the welfare of the City? I say it should be and something should be done about it before it’s too late. Henry Helmuth Teen Scenes | By Mary Jane Tobias I ' Hi All! Bet that gorgeous weather last week fooled you didn’t it? It sure did me, and I’ve got the sniffles this week to prove it. I don’t intend to horn in on the “under doctor’s care” section of this paper, but we’ve got quite a few injured or sick people down our way, and about half of them came from the ski trip of las 1 week. Bob Callander and Judy Stoops have been hobbling around on crutches, with torn ligaments sustained in separate ski hangups. Linda Muntz and Bruce Copeland had one arm (each) in a sling; Linda’s was from skiing and Bruces’ from wrestling practice a few weeks ago. To add a little variety, Marla Wagner has a black eye which she got via some girl’s elbow on the Warsaw G.A.A. basketball team. Cathy Crane was Whalloped by another member of that team, and ended up with a sprained ankle. We even have one invalid! Diana Amat: has been in the hospital a week with mononucleosis and its products, (an infected liver and yellow jaundice). We sure hope that all of these kids recover quickly and completely. On a couple of days last week, the eighth grade classes were unleased and hauled down to the West Side Park for testing purposes. On the first diay they went down, I thought school had been dismissed early, from the mob that stormed past study hall 100; then I remembered how we always wanted to let everybody know we were leaving the school when we were eighth graders, and from then on I wasn’t bothered at all. This year’s’ senior play will be

Once you look our Chryslers over and discover how easy they are to own (just a few dollars a month more than the most popular smaller cars comparably equip-

entitled “The Mouse That Roared”, written by Wibberley. Mr. Lichti, our speech teacher, is in charge, and playcaiding for this very interesting and unusual story will begin soon. . Brian McDonald had his nose in the books last week, and not entirely of his qwti free will; his glasses were broken. In any class which utilized the chalk boards, Brian had to sit clear up front, at times on the teacher’s desk. Mr. Walter jokingly volunteered to write extra hard so Brian could go up and feel the words if he wanted to. In that “set ’em up, knock ’em down” basketball game the G.A.A. had with Warsaw, our girls lost to the tune of 46 to 26, (that’s not bad, considering half our team got beat up at the start). Barb Wise and Grace Mishler shared high ooint honors from our team, having 12 points apiece, and Cathy Crane bad the other two. The G.A.A. has quite a few other evenst coming up soon. On the 18th the girl will play Bremen at 4:00 (here), treat their team to supper and then return as a group at night to watch the boys play. On the 19th, Rosemary Hepler, Barb Wise, Susie Fontious, Anr. Clouse and Cara Dunham will gc to the State Invitational Bowling tourney at the Plaza Bowl in Mar:on. These girls were selected according to highest points in the intermural girls’ teams. Our varsity team is making a comeback at the end of the season, with only one game to go Last week they beat Washington Clay, 62 to 56 and Syracuse 70 tc 42. Hope we can keep our win ning streak through the tourney!

The Valentines Dance turned out a huge success for all in volved. Gobs of kids turned ou' ;nd had a ball, and the Senior Y Teens made a tidy little profit on it. The local band called “The Tarantulas” played and did a real good job. Talk about open minded and bdp hearted, Mr. Walter’s got the orize. He let Jim Snider teach our Hath class for the entire hour’ \nybody who knows Jim, knowwhat that means. We really had fun and surprisingly enough, gol everything done. Mr. Walter was one of us students for the day and got bawled out a couple of times, once for not sitting in bis chair properly and also for explaining a problem without first asking permission to talk. I have one more big announcement to make. SANDRA ROOSE IS MOVING THIS WEEK to her mansion in the country. She’s so happy that she wanted to tell everybody, so I told her I’d help. Now She can be near Robin and Clipper, her horses and most of all, her chickens. Read the Classifieds
