LETTERS Dear Sir: In your “Strictly Personal” column this week there is an article pertaining to a gift of Jim Newcomer’s made out of an Amish horse’s mane.

GROWING THROUGH SERVICE

East Side Daze By John Hinton Recently in the junior U. S. History Classes a committee was established to select! candidates for a “Man of the Year” contest. The winner would then be submitted to the contest held by Time magazine. Nominations were The Fighting Man in Viet Nam; Dr. Barnard and his surgical team; Cardinal Spellman; President Johnson; the Negro Politicians; Charles de Gaulle; and the cartoon character, George of the Jungle. The winner was the Fighting Man in Viet Nam. Unfortunately for the Juniors their letter to Time magazine was never printed. Time’s selection as their “Man of the Year” was LBJ. Surprised? The Spanish dlub is planning their annual Valentine’s Day party to be February 14 at the Eby Pines restaurant in Bristol. The fiesta will consist of dinner, skits presented by the students, a raffle, contests, and will conclude

with two hours of roller skating. The Spani h Club has been busy selling concessions at the basketball games with the Pep Club to earn the money for this activity. Skiing this year must be rather good. This time last year NHS had five people on crutches. Many students have been taking advantage of the snow and zero weather at Mount Wawasee. Even some teachers of NHS have been spotted in the ski lodge enjoying the atmosphere. So far Editor Nichols has rounded up only 15 better presidents than former President Harry Truman. He still needs 5 more to complete his challenge of “20 presidents better than Truman” for the NHS history department. The kids have been working hard studying cramming this past week. I suggest they deserve a few little extras this weekend from you parents like breakfast in bed, several.new record albums, possibly a little extra gas in the car for Saturday night, and those new turtle neck sweaters they wlant...

D.E.N. Dog Pepper has a little friend who can squeeze through a small opening in the fence. He alarmed the whole neighborhood recently with his yelps when he got stuck on the way out. , ★ ★ ★ The bird feeding tray has been busy. Besides sparrows, starlings, and grackles, there have been nuthatches, a titmouse, cardinals, jays, and a (we think) downy woodpecker. But there hasn't been one chickadee. Why? ★ ★ * Last week was a bad week complicated by the Monday Holiday. Then we had serious press trouble on Wednesday afternoon after the first section was printed. ★ ★ ★ No point in continuing needling Roy Slagle because neither of us will give an inch. However, in connection with the Chicago Fire, it's interesting to note that, on that same weekend, there was a terrible fire at Peshtigo, Wisconsin. Actually, in terms of money and the duration of the fire, it was worse than Mrs. O'Leary's blaze. ★ ★ ★ Pin a rose on us. All the tax forms for the year are done. ★ ★ ★ On the subject of taxes, that intangibles tax in Indiana still makes us mad. Actually, people are being penalized for their holdings over and over again. —- / ★ ★ ★ Republicans got an extra jolt this week. Not only was there a postal increase, but the new six cent stamps have a grinning picture of FDR. From the looks of the stamp, however, a Republican must have painted the portrait. ★ ★ ★ Pulling down the window shade or placing newspapers between house plants and the window will protect them from cold night temperatures, say Purdue University extension horticulturists.

The Bulldogs have really been turning in some respectable performances and there are people who may be thinking of ways to make room in the trophy case for a sectional, tourney trophy. Regardless of future games, the team has proven itself to fans, who have high hopes for the remainder of this season. There was a small crowd at Stauffer Park Saturday evening for the Jaycees sponsored Twelfth Night Service. Rev. Robert Fields addressed the group, the trees were burned t and hot chocolate and coffee were served. It would be nice for this service to become an annual event in Nappanee. Mrs. Russell W.
