We understood that the Mayor wanted to keep the plant and operate it. Now we find out that he doesn’t want to operate the plant at all but wants to buy power and sell’ it. If we influenced anyone who signed that petition we want to

make it right with them by having you print this letter. Delbert Spicher' J*ack Johnson Henry Helnuuth To the Editor: To The Point If our street department super-

TALK. OF THE TOWN BY BARBARA REISER 773-45(3

Bowling is a sport that has become very popular throughout the country. There are leagues for almost every age range, and it also can be a very good family activity for the weekend. The Bob Ungers and the Fred Hookerts traveled to Haimtramck, Michigan, recently where the men were participants in a bowling tournament. Fred won $5 on the first ball he threw by picking up a specially designated split. On Sunday, they visited the Greenfield Village at Dearborn. The Village is an inspiring place which vividly portrays three centuries of American life. It consists of a village green and nearly 100 historical buildings which include houses, shops, schools, mills, etc. It is very educational and entertaining and would be well worth the trip. Last week was spring vacation for the students and teachers of Nappanee schools, and a number of them took advantage of their free time and visited friends and relatives. Mrs. Jane Hepler and

sons, Brian and Carey', visited relatives in Vermillion, South Dakota. They enjoyed the week with an aunt and uncle, the Dr. Thomas Eyres. The boys also visited their grelat grandmother, Mrs. C. E. MeGriff, who is 93 years old. The Heplers went by train, but due to the rail strike, returned home by bus. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Best traveled to Chicago last Wednesday, where they saw “Hello Dolly”, starring Carol Channing, which was playing at the Shubert Theatre. While in Chicago, they ran across fellow citizens, Dick and Susie Pletcher. The Best’s daughter, Diane Myer, is enjoying her spring vacation from college. She isn’t taking any chances on our unpredictable spring weather. She’s spending her vacation in Florida. About 20 members of last year’s graduating class, gathered at the home of Ted No ff singer last Saturday evening for a night or renewing friendships and telling of some of their college activities. The group enjoyed food galore and one activity including using walkde talkie equipment, whi'ch they found can be quite effective from long distances away. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sfrtakowski and sons, Jeffrey and Steven, made a trip to Dallas, Texas, to visit her folks, the Raymond Housemans. They also visited with Mrs. Strakowski’s sister and husband, and their year old daughter, whom the Indiana relatives has never seen. While in Texas, they visited the . Museum of Natural History and the Aquarium. Two younger citizens made a trip to Washington, D.C. during their spring vacation. Brenda and Lea Ann Stouder, daughters of the Kenton (Barney) Stouders, went to stay with their aunt and uncle, Pat and Gene Yoder. While in the Capital, they visited the White House, various monuments, and saw Vice President Humphrey. They also saw the changing of the guards at Arlington National Ceimeitery, Kennedy’s grave, and a number of other historic places. It was a very exciting way to spend spring vacation —one the girls won’t soon forget. Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Chalmers and their daughter, Mrs. Teresa Schepman, spent the week in Agincourt, Ontario, Canada. Also making the trip with them was Mrs. Schepman’s son, Peter. They visited Mrs. Chialmer’s neice and nephew, and were shown oround the city, including a trip to the new city hall. Mrs. Chaimer’s nephew is employed by the government as a bridge and highway engineer, and will soon be transferred, so his Indiana relatives took the opportunity to visit him and Canada. I hope to hear from you about your, activities and trips this spring and summer.

Strictly Personal By D.E.N. In n*war to our query to find out who reeds what, one said that Nils column was like a party line without tho stigma of listening in. ★ Tk ★ A friend sent in a piece called "My Town", which we've reprinted before, but which is worth repeating. "My town is tho place where my home is found, where my business is situated, and where my vote is cast. It is where my children are educated, where my neighbors dwell, and where my life is chiefly lived. It is the home spot for me. My town has the right to my civic loyalty. It supports me, and I should support it. My town wants my citizenship, not my partisanship, my friendliness, not my dissension, my sympathy, not my criticism, my intelligence, not my indifference.

My town supplies me with protection, friends, education, schools, churches, and the right to free moral citizenship. If has some things that are better than others; the best things I should seek to make better; the worst things I should help to supress. Take it all-in-all, it is my town, and it is entitled to the best there is in me." ★ ★ ★ A follow-up to our recent complaint about buying things which are available in Nappanee. A friend was in Marshall Fields in Chicago. A lady approached her and asked where she had bought her snow boots because she'd looked all over Chicago for some like it. They came from Nappanee, naturally. ★ ★ ★ Some were amused, and a few weren't last week at garbage pickup time. One resident had one garbage can with a pink ribbon on it and the other a gold one. ★ ★ ★ We've covered every open house without missing any for five years. Never won anything in a drawing until the editor's wife was the lucky winner of some magnificent steaks at the Frozen Food Center. Had some Sunday and really devoured them. ★ ★ ★ Monday morning we hearfj the' gush of water. The dowiljtairs toilet had overflowed somehow and water was pouring out to the carpet in the hall. The basement looked like the place where you cah get undr Niagara Falls. There was even a little stream running out into the alley. A great way to start off anew week!

BUSY VACATION The Elu-Ki-Wa Camp Fire girls, Kathy Dallas, Brenda Heckaman, Gayle Miner, Marcia McKee, Paula Sebmeltz and Lynn Chapman took advantage of spring vacation last week and took a trip to South Bend to tour the airport. They were shown behind the scenes at United Air Lines, listened to the control tower talking to the pilots, and ate lunch at the airport. On Palm Sunday they went to Elkhart to hear the Elkhart Symphony Orchestra. Mrs. Jack Anmantrout had spokep to the group before explaining about the different instruments and the music and this made it douibly interesting since Mrs. Armantrout plays violin in the orchestra. Washington State produces about Vi of our nation’s apples.
