decision to discontinue this step was made reluctantly. We want every passenger we can fat. Let me explain why thia step was taken. The Capitol Limited is the me st important train operated by the Baltimore and Ohio and it is used to a considerable extent by businessmen traveling overnight to arrive in time for appointments the next morning. Unfortunately the on-time performance Qf this train has left much to be desired. During the last year we have been looking very carefully at ways to improve the performanej. Two approaches have been possible either add more running time by lengthening the schedule or elminate some of the stops along the way. Because of the nature of the train, with its significant amount of business travel, we are very reluctant to add more running time which would mean an earlier departure from Chicago or a later arrival in Washington, or both. In the long run we believe that this would

be telf-defeating. We would discourage business travel to thf point that the operation of the train itself would be jeopardized Therefore, there was only one solution haft discontinue som> station stops that were very light ly used by the traveling public We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused you, and we certainly wish we could offer you something by way of service rather than this letter o# explanation. % Sincerely yours, Paul H. Reistrup “1r W r Dear Don, I am not parent who wants to join a secessionist faction dividing our school and opposing our School Board. . They have an ugly job and have worked very hard to help us have adequate schools. However, while we wrangle and wait for the high school situation to settle, Central continues on with the unsavory restroom condition mentioned in last week's paper. Some children I think a lot of are losing valuable school time standing in shifts, at the restroom door. Classrooms are filled throughout the Central building. Because of crowding, two rooms at the park have been pressed into servce. A church is being used. There is no place at all for teachers to have a minute to themselves. Even the cheering section around the gym is being put to use. The playground remains so packed that play is difficult and at times dangerous. I’ trust that somebody can come up with some ideas that will help relieve some of these conditions. I trust that the high school problem won’t cause us to neglect some serious problems demanding our immediate attention. The whole Wa-Nee system is Che concern of each of us no matter where we live within that system. If we selfishly squabble for the biggest and best for our section, we are only asking for trouble. Like a family, we must each share and do all we can to make this thing go—and go well. We’ve met other problems and solved them. We can do the same with this set of problems. A parent who believes in the potential of the Wa-Nee youth.

It’s bowling time again, and both the men and women’s bowing leagues tee in full swing. Teams are sporting attractive new hirts and blouses to go along with the newly remodeled Gold Cregtp Lanes. K you’re not a participant in the bowling leagues, you’4 probably enjoy going out Stef cheering along your favorite team. Also, there is anew billiard room which has been getting a lot of use. Nappanee is really growing and improving, and there are sports, activities and clubs for almost every age group. A large crowd gathered at Memorial Field last Friday night to cheer the Bulldogs on to their 40-7 victory over Kendallville. If you epicy the crisp fall air, lots of poise and seeing a pretty talented gang of fellas in action, along with a half-time show provided by our own high school band, join tUs crowd for the remainder of the season. Your cheers will be appreciated. Last Thursday, employees of Pletcher’s Furniture Village enjoyed their annual store outing. The employees were treated to a day of golfing at South Shore, and then were joined by husbands, wives and dates for a steak supper at the LaVern Pletcher home. Mel Shirk and Dick Pletcher prepared a skit to go along with the awarding of golf trophies. These went to the men’s team of Lloyd Hershberger and Doug Metz and to the women’s team of Lorraine Stutzman and Carolyn Shank. A number of other prizes were awarded in various silly catagories. The highlight of the evening was the unscheduled dive into the swimming pool by Jack Millbern, who had planned to be an assistant to the dunking of someone else!! Mr. and Mrs. LaMar Stouder spent last weekend on a short but enjoyable trip through several southern states. They left early Saturday morning to take their daughter, Pat, and Mel Witt to college in North Carolina.. Warren Wilson College, which is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church, is located at Swannanoa, North Carolina. After seeing Pat and Mel fairly well settled in their dorms, they headed home. They traveled through Kentucky, ' Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. In Thorn Hill, Tennessee, the Stouders stopped at the top of Clinch Mountain, which is 3,000 feet high and is one of the most photographed scenes in the

Florida Artist Is Exhibiting At First National The water colors on exhibit this week at the Nappanee office of the First National Bank are by a prominent Florida Painter, Joel Reichard, who has a winter studio near Silver Springs.

Camp Fire Girls To Dress Dolls For Goodwill i The Nappanee Camp Fire Girls are again dressing dolls for the Goodwill “Dolly Derby” at South Bend.

Anyone else wishing to participate in this worthwhile project, may call Mrs. Price at 773-4834. The “Dolly Derby” project, sponsored by Goodwill Industries is in its sixth year. Since its inception, Camp Fire Girls from Nappanee, South Bend, Mishawaka, Goshen and Bremen councils have dressed more than 3,400 dolls for Goodwill in St. Joseph County. The girls are limited to spending SI.OO for materials, as imagination plays an important part in the designing and making of the clothes for these dolls. The dolls must be back to Goodwill by the last of October, where they will be exhibited and judged November 4. Winners will be awarded ribbons at a special Dolloy Dinner on November 28 at the Goodwill plant. Winners are named in four divisions; baby, child, adult and character. From these winners a grand champion and runner-up are chosen. The dolls then go on display at the Goodwill plant November 17 and 18 under the supervision of the Women’s Auxiliary of Goodwill. A special sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on November 30, they will be sent to all Goodwill stores for sale to the public.
