D.E.N. The Jaycees, by picking up the Christmas trees, got some people to take them down earlier than usual. Many people set New Year's Day as the last day for the tree. * W _ ★ ★" Jim Newcomer's special gift of a hairpiece made out of an Amish horse's mane was one of the most practical of which we've heard. ★ ★ ★ Then there was a needy family on our list ‘to whom a group took a basket of food, only do find they were vacationing in Florida. ★ < ★ Goofed off in Chicago Friday. The John Hancock Building is now up to seventy stories and already dwarfs the others. Ate at the Wrigley Building and had Your Salad. (Your Salad is with chicken, My Salad is with fish). A meal in itself. ★ ★ ★ Have been challenged to name twenty better presidents than Truman. It's easier to name those who were worse. They'd be William Henry Harrison (because he only lived a few weeks of his term), James Madison, Franklin Pierce, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, James Polk, Millard Fillmore, James Buchanan, Zachary Taylor, Warren G. Harding, and Calvin Coolidge. John Tyler and Chester Arthur were vice presidents who became presidents upon the death of the Chief Executives. They weren‘t supposed to be much good, but actually they surprised everyone. Too early to tell about the present man in the White House, although he seems to be working at getting on this list. BIRTHS South Bend Osteopathic Mr. and Mrs. Ronnie L. Slabaugh, son, December 28.

Two Area Girls Are Awarded Scholarships Karen Sue Conrad, a freshman, daughter of the Levon Conrads, R. 3, Nappanee, was awarded a Wakarusa School PTA Scholarship and an Indiana State Scholarship (Hoosier Scholarship) for study at Goshen College. Karen Sue Miller, a junior, daughter of the LaMar Millers, R. 1, Nappanee, was awarded a Flo Marie Yoder Scholarship and an Elkhart General Hospital Scholarship, also for study at Goshen College. Five hundred thirty gift awards totaling $229,371 have been administered by Goshen College for the school year, 1967-1968. The amount was made available through funds from a number of sources, including the College, private agencies and individuals in many communities, as well as agencies of federal and state affiliation. Compared to 1966-1967, the gift aid doubled in 1967-68. By far the most significant increases were additional Educational Opportunity Grants from the federal government and additional funds from organizations that made awards to students from their communities. The mid-year announcement, made by the office of student finances, includes many scholarships awarded in late summer and early fall. Among the scholarships awarded last spring and early summer were 17 Menno Simons awards, which are for four years, and 88 Freshman awards, which are for the first year of College. Besides grants and scholarships, the College also helped students finance their education by helping them to obtain loans totaling more than $280,000, and campus employment, for which they will be paid more than $44,000 by the end of the school year. Goshen College, owned and operated by the Mennonite Church at Goshen, Indiana, is a fully-ac-credited four-year liberal arts college, with a graduate-level seminary. The total full-time college en-

I An Open Letter To Jim Murray Dear Mr. Murray: There was an article in Sunday’s South Bend Triune entitled “The Best of Jim Murray”. If this was your best, we’d rather not see your worst. For it was a highly insulting letter to John Pont. We don’t know who you are, but we do know who John Pont is. He happens to be more than just Coach of the Year. He’s quite a gentleman. You predicted dire consequences for the Hoosiers in the Rose Bowl. You apparently are not from Indiana, because everyone else in Indiana is mighty proud of their Hoosiers, especially after the Rose Bowl game. Did you see them help O .J. up after they had hit him hard? Did you see them run up to congratulate the S. C. boys after a fine football game? Did you notice how they managed to put on a fine performance for everyone? You had the bad taste to mention hemophilia in your article. You also seemed to scorn farmers and implied that all the Hoosiers are rustics. Although there’s nothing about that to cause shame, did you know that the Indiana football team is unusually heavy with A students? We are extremely proud of Indiana and its football team which has provided all of us with an unusually great amount of thrills this season. We happen to like every boy on that team and think each one is great. Sorry you don’t agree.
