905 Northwood Drive Nappanee, Indiana October 30, 1967. Mr. Don Nichols, Editor Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Don: May I use this means to express my great admiration for two teachers we have in the Nappanee schools? I felt compelled to write this, after having had a personal experience with these two teachers last week. These two teachers are Mr. and Mrs. Miguel Olivella. It was my pleasure to act as one of the chaperones of the freshman class of the Beginning Spanish, which presented a demonstration to the foreign language teachers attending the Teachers’ Institute in South Bend last Friday. Mr. Olivella was in charge of the program Friday morning and discussed how to motivate students in a foreign language class this he certainly does! His answer was nothing new or profound, but he certainly personified this answer

"VOTE REPUBLICAN" Let's face it! We are behind the times in street widening and improvement. We need a priority system of improvement and an accentuated program of activity in this area of City government. Help us to provide you with this necessary service! “The Nappanee Republican Team”

in the lecture itself and in the demonstration which followed. The solution he suggested was for the teacher to be enthusiastic! How true this is. In his remarks prior to the entrance of the students, Mr. Olivella conveyed his genuine love of teaching and his keen ability to understand students as individuals. He also demonstrated his high academic background as he challenged the teachers to examine new materials and be willing to adjust to the situations of the day. All of his remarks were made in a very humble fashion and with much sincerity. The teachers were very much interested in his comments and seemed to have benefited from the class demonstration. The demonstration was lively, interesting, amusing, enthusiastic, and very educational. We were very proud of this class and of Mr. Olivella. Mr. Olivella is a tremendously dedicated teacher and a fine gentleman. I do not wish to embarass him or his wife by writing this letter. I just want them to know that we in Nappanee do appreciate their talents and feel so very fortunate to have them in our school system. Sincerely, Mrs. Walter Anglemeyer October 26, 1967 Dear Mr. Nichols: I’m a boy of draft age, and would like to hear opinions of other Americans on the draft in this column. I would like to express my opinions on the youth draft situations. I think it is very marvelous when young men attend college to increase their education and skills. I sincerely believe there are too many going just to have a good time and avoid the service, instead of the education. If these people are very sincere about their education and religi-

ous beliefs, I not only respect but will stand behind them in any way I can. i Whep so-called American citizens will support anti-war demonstrations along with the youth burning of draft cards, this shows very plainly that they are not satisfied with today’s society and are not showing any patriotism. What of the boys in Vietnam who are risking their lives? What do they think of these people who avoid draft for some stupid reason? When did people get their freedoms (speech, religion, press, etc.) by sitting back without fighting for them. The servicemen ne?d all the support they can get. This is a minority group that is very unpatriotic to their country. Looking at it on a bigger standpoint, it can cause a lot more conflict in the future and cause uncalled for fighting between Americans. The wars are very expensive but why spend more money out of people’s pockets to fight within our country? We all should stand behind our Government. “The people of voting age put it together.” Name Withheld Dear Editor, I was surprised, but not angered, when I came home from a church meeting Monday night to find my property “decorated” with miles of toilet paper. After all, that lovely pink stuff is harmless. Although the kids were trespassing on private property and littering public roadways, I would not punish them unless they damaged property. But their choice of toilet paper as a medium of expression is significant, and even a bit symbolic. For some of these kids, throwing toilet paper is a harmless outward release of some inner vulgarity. So this, for some, is a good way to let it out. At least it’s better than writing obscenities on public walls. Also the urge to “get” a teacher is significant. These are not hardworking “A” students who think that teachers are helping them; these are mostly “D” or “F” students, or even drop-outs, who have the idea that the teacher is out to get him, rather than to help him prepare for his future. But I feel rather sorry for the kid who thought he’d be “smart” and smash the jack-o-lantern my seven-year-old daughter had just made two hours earlier. He must have a deeper need than just throwing toilet paper. It might help him if he saw my daughter’s tears the next morning. L wonder if he ever someone broke his prize possessions when he was seven. A jaclc-o-lantern has little money value, but will he sometime try to be “smarter” and smash something big? Carlyle Frederick Dear Don: Before I had decided to seek a second term as Councilman from the 4th District, you spoke to me and urged me to run again reminding me of my responsibility to the City of Nappanee. Because of this same feeling of responsibility, I would like to make known to the people of our City my impression of our present mayor, Pat Sinclair. I do not intend this to have political overtones, just a personal assessment from one who has worked with and appreciates a sincere and competent man. I am proud to have served under Pat for four years. He is his own man and has not and will not have his personal opinions and decisions swayed by-any group be it political, religious, industrial, business or what have you. I feel he has done what he thinks best

If anyone's interested, let us know about interesting tropical fish and we'll run a column on them once in a while. That way, maybe people could trade fish.
