Mr. and Mrs. Glen Reed returned early Sunday moaning from a four day trip to Nassau. Accompanying them were Mrs, Re:d’> parents, the Wilbur Rensbergert. The; trip was sponsored and pprt:ally paid for by connected with Mr. Reefs station. Hurricane Inez spoiled many of the plans for the tourists. Many streets were flooded, and in soraU places, people were unable ti leave their homes. The weather, otherwise, was very nice, and a:iyone wishing to escape the heat could retire to the air-conditioned comfort of their hotel, the Nassau Beach Hotel. One event enjpyed.

by the Reeds was the crab races, which are similar to the races in the Jaycee Turtle Derby here. The crabs are small, about the size of a half dollar. They are expected to race from the middle to the outer edge of a circle. The hotel sponsors these races and bets are placed on the various crabs. On one day, the men in the group enjoyed fishing. Another activity was a visit to the straw market, where visitors left with large straw shopping bags filled with straw dolls, horses, purses and other articles they purchased. These things are hand made by the ladies who operate the numerous markets and are very attractive to the tourists, who seldom can leave without buying at least one item. The vacationers also enjoyed sunning, swimming, and

dining out. At the Howard Johnson restaurant there, they learned that prices here aren’t so bad after all, examples include sl.lO hamburgers, 70c pie end 36c ice cream cones. But as a whole, the food they enjoyed was the host, ft was a vacation that will tong be remembered by the Reeds and the Rensbergars. Although our senior classes are not taking senior trips any more, the Wakaj-usa seniors still enjoy this privilege and on their trip to New York City last week, they were accompanied by Mrs. Sel Copeland and Stan Heckaman, Nappanee residents who teach in the Wakarusa schools. Saturday afternoon was a big one for many of the younger football enthusiasts. It was Puiit, Pass and Kick Contest time. There were a number of entries in each of the four classes and all proved to be good sports about the final outcome. It was disappointing that there wasn’t a larger turnout of adult supporters to back their favorite contestant. Winners are undoubtedly announced elsewhere in this week’s paper, but I’d like to offer a special congratulations to my younger brother, Roger, who placed first in his division for the second year in a row. Coach Svyantek was there as a judge, and undoubtedly had his eye on the future football team of NHS. Sorry this wasn’t a newsier column this week, but as I’ve said many times, it can’t contain many important or interesting happenings if I don’t hear about them. So if you know of any interesting happenings, please let me know. I’m sorry if I’m not at home the first time you call, but don’t be afraid to try me again. I appreciate your news tips.

Wolfberg's Nappanee & Wakarusa pm

Indiana's Washington By Robert J. Myers

By Robert J. Myers Want to be a big time radio television network correspondent? One way to do this is to start peddling newspapers in Indiana. This formula, very much in capsule form, explains the course followed by Ray Scherer, NBC White House correspondent, born in 1919 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You may be familiar with him as half of the Scherer-MacNeil report, NBC’s Saturday replacement for the Huntley-Brinkley report. Ray comes from a newspaper family. His father, Arnold, is still active on the Fort Wayne Journ-al-Gazette, the morning daily. “I started delivering newspapers in 1933, a time when you could hardly give them away. I think the price was 15 cents a week. I’d get started around 4 a.rq. and fold the papers in a bakery where it was warm and smelled good.” As you Tv viewers know, Ray is a tali fellow with a ready grin and an analytical mind. He entered Valparaiso University in 1938 and edited the college paper, The Torch. After three years, however, he went back to the JournalGazette to sell advertising. At least in the mornings. Afternoons were taken up in the public library, reading all sorts of political journals. “I guess you could say,” mused Ray, “that my real education began in that library.” Reinspired, he returned to Valparaiso and entered law school. ‘The last brief I did, though, was on December 7th, 1941. A week later I joined the navy.” During the Great War (if you’re of the Glenn Miller generation), he served on destroyers in the Atlantic and Pacific. Immediately afterwards, he entered the University of Chicago and received a master’s degree in international relations in 1947. Then Washington called. Ray was again at the Journal-Gazette, this time as a feature writer. The first NBC ring he didn’t answer, but the second brought him to Washington in November 1947. Here he started on the 5 a.m. news editing shift, a one hour Improvement over , the paper route. He didn’t really enter broadcasting, however, until during the Korean war as an emergency replacement. Once in front of the microphone, he was there to stay. “I’m about senior to everyone here at NBC news and at the White House too, aside from Merriam Smith, the dean of correspondents.” Ray came into the public spotlight as an NBC White House correspondent. He was second NBC man with Truman, and then top NBC correspondent, aside from a two year stint as congressional correspondent. Photos of Ray and his president line the walls of his office, all signed and with words of praise. “I was approached to take over the White House press secretary job when Bill Moyers left, but who can replace Bill Moyers? Besides, I’m happy at NBC.” Happiness comes in the form of a six day week and an on call status like a fireman. But Ray obviously thrives on his week-day radio broadcasts, the Saturday Tv -how, and the many Tv specials that covering the White House

naturally involve. “I’ll be going along with the President later this month to Manila and the other Asian countries he’ll visit.” Ray has chalked up much mileage following our political leaders around, including witnessing the Nixon-Khrush-chev kitchen debate in Moscow. Ray has also personally seen the great changes in reporting techniques that have evolved at the White House, especially the Tv revolution. LBJ is so Tv oriented that he has three sets going simultaneously during most of his waking moments. “He never fails to comment on my Tv programs, down to the details of the lighting.” Ray’s wife Barbara is from Peru, Indiana. They have two children, Nancy 12 and David 9. He lives one mile from the NBC office in northwest Washington. “Barbara thinks I should walk to work everyday, and I do walk once a year just to prove that I can.” A skill learned, no doubt, some thirty years ago in the predawn light of Fort Wayne, delivering the Journal-Gazette.

D.E.N. The other day, a beautiful cock pheasant flew in front of the car. First one we'd seen in a long time. ★ ★ ★ Bobby Kennedy, according to Time Magazine and Newsweek, has let his hair grow long in front so that ha can appeal to the young people who will be old enough to vote when he makes his bid for the Presidency. Wonder if he gave any thought to the parents he may be antagonizing in the meantime. it * The new Farmer's Almanac says that the coming winter will "be one of heavy snow, blizzards, and slightly warmer than a year ago." So Pete and his boys will be busy. ★ ★ ★ Ed Eastlund had requested a leave of absence from Kiwanis and got himself listed as dead. Recently, his "widow" received notice that a candle had been lighted in his memory at the convention. A case of people not saying anything nice, about you till you're dead. Can't decide whether it's atmospheric conditions, or whether someone fiddles with the amplifier, but on occasions, tbe Pletcher chimes ring out as though it were the New Year. Then, at other times, they are barely heard. ★ ★ ★ The Academy Award trophy Is here to be awarded for last season's Civic Theater performance. Jim had it nicely engraved. It's bigger than usual. ★ ★ ★ Have you seen the Jackalope mounted in Hepler's Barber Shop? missionary MEETING The Woman’s Missionary Society of the First Brethren Church will meet Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Teen House.
