isn’t a person mentioned, whose name is familiar to us. We haye enjoyed the quips in Fred Curtis’s advertisemenlt. i I fellt that your remark about southern food being inferior, was uncalled for, and in very bad taSte. (That is bet a pun). We have driven as fbr as Lexington, Ky. for a meal of southern fried ham red eye gravy and biscults. To my way of thinking, nothing could be more unpalatable than 9ome of the concoctions I’ve been exposed to in yoUr area —and the closer one gets to Chicago the worse it be-

comes. Give me good American food, which I consider is Southern cooking. I can get along without food with a foreign country recipe. There are many, many splendid cooks in Nappanee bu t trtany of their recipes are comparable with the ones which women in the South use. If you are going to be so provincial in your thinking, it would be tactful of you, not to express it in your paper, lit does not ihlake those who live out of your area, and who read your remarks feel kindly about you. Yours Respectfully, Dorothy Schuler P. S. I did not see anything in your paper, that the week of Sept. 17 to the 23 was “Constitution Week,” when all citizens were urged to fly the American flag. if wondeT how mlany of those who criticize the American Legion were brave and patriotic pnough themselves to wear the uniform of the UJS.A.? only thru being willing to defend our country, do people qualify to be members of the Legion. Yet those who criticize Veteran’s Organizations, are only happy to enjoy the good things of our country for which these Veterans sacrificed, suffered and many are Still Suffering. Those people should visit the large Veteran’s Hospital, which we have here in Dayton. Maybe they’d learn to be a much better Christian, and more tolerant and patriotic. I am a member of the D. A. R. —and feel that patriotism and our country’s history cannot be stressed enough. Dear editor, Something in your paper disturbed us. You mentioned that you have a friend who is in prison. We certainly hope that you don’t intend to bring a convict here when he gets out. That would be a very serious mistake. You don’t seem to think so, but Napplanee is really a fine town, and we haven’t had riots or juvenile delinquency, and we can keep it that way if we all work hard to do so.

Please don’t sign my name. (Editor’s note: Doubt seriously if he’d be interested, anyway.) East Side Daze By John Hinton The assembly programs fbr this coming year have been announced by the student council and should prove boitJh entertaining las Well as informative. These programs are selected by tlhe student council members for the enjoyment of both student body and faculty. Students attend these programs for a nominal fee. The first in the series was presented last Tuesday with “A Look at Lincoln’ by Dick Blake. His portrayal gave insight to the courageous man Lincoln was. Mr. Blake carried us through young Abe’s life as a circuit lawyer, a diligent carntpadgner, and as President. The assembly was accented wilth President Lincoln’s humor, as well as his Sincerity. Other programs in the future include the nationally known gymnast, Eddie Matter, who will perform a program of skill and agility. Even though he has been totally blind since childhood, hiS balancing Stunts and turns on the parallel bars will prove his unusual talent. A challenging assembly will be brought to us by a Student of Dr. B. B. Goldner, one of the nation’s leading authorities on creative thinking. The average person uses only 5% of his brain power. Participation in this program encourages discovery of the other 95%. Later in the year, Ernest Kober, Jr., an outstanding artist and lecturer will present a program on the art of Bbihemian glass blowing. He has been demonstrating this art for 43 years. A display of some particularly noteworthy pieces will be a part of his program. Most of the dubs and organizations are just beginning to meet, but there will be news of their activities in October.

TEEN AGE TOPS The second meeting of the Teen age Tops was at the First National Bank last Saturday at 3 pjn. Betty Mast was princess, of the week with a weight loss of 4 lbs. They decided on the name Mod-Tops for the group. Anyone Wishing to join should come to the next meeting this Saturday at the bank at 3 pjm. Strictly Personal t D.E.N. When the lady of the house is hospitalized, the rest of the family really knows how much she's missed. This is especially true when the oldest is off to college. All the sorting, marking, cleaning is, we admit, mother's work. But in true Nappanee style, everyone rallied and has been most kind. ★ ★ ★ At best, being a White Sox fan is hard work, but it's been a double strain this fall. This small loyal band keeps hoping that there still might be a chance. When they win one, even Bob Elston sounds better. ★ ★ ★ A letter to the editor arriving this week won't be printed, although it was signed. It was so abusive and used such foul language that it was thrown in the post office waste basket. Lady, you should be ashamed of yourself. ★ ★ ★ A letter from Dale Tobias. He says it's hard work getting back into the studying routine after two years out of school. ★ ★ ★ Congratulations to Beulah Coppes and the other Beulahs. If you have to have a hurricane named after you, it might as well be a real swinger. ★ ★ ★ Here it's still September, and already people are calling us telling of soaped windows. People still have their screens on, and this gets rough. Why is it that Nappanee kids always start so

early on this? ★ ★ ★ A great deal of interest has already been generated in the paper's new advertising column of weekly bargains. MORNING TOPS The Morning Tops Club met Monday, Sept. 25 in the First National Barak social room. The leader Dolores Bigler called the meeting to order and the Tops pledge was recited.
