\dults Who Can't 'ead Are Sought !ti Nappanee Area in Elkhart County there are ap>roximately 1,800 functional illitrateS according to the i960 cen:us, and the figure will probably >e higher at the time of anew •ensus. Helping to combat and •emedy this situation is a unique organization, the Elkhart County 'iteraev Council, which is based n Elkhart and has a chapter in Goshen. Through the council free lessons are provided for adults in privacy using the Laubach method md the “each one, teach one” theory,. that is one teacher for each student. The possibility of establishing a branch of the council in Nappanee is being investigated and the first step toward providing lessons locally is determination of the actual need here. At this time help is needed to make an estimate of the number of adults in Nappanee and Wakarusa and the surrounding area who are unable to read. Do you know someone who is unable to read sufficiently well to keep a job or progress in it, someone who is thus seriously seriously handicapped in carrying out his own business affairs? If anyone knows of a friend, neighbor, fellow worker, fellow church member, employee etc., who is unable to read, please tell him or her about this article. Then please call one of the following people or have the nonreader call. Specific names need not be given but would be helpful in order to prevent counting the same person again and again; all such information will be held in strictest confidence by this committee: Mrs. Joseph Kindig, 773-4562; Mrs. Glenn Michael 773-3659, Mrs. Robert Bechtel 862-2445. Please call after 5 p.m. or if preferable write to Nappanee P. O. Box 230 LIT. Before 5 p.m. call Mrs. Don Nichols 773-3434. If it is determined that sufficient need exists in this area for the establishment of such a branch of the council, there will be a need for local volunteers to take the 12 hour training course and become teachers. Anyone who would be interested in serving as such a volunteer or wishing more information about it, is also asked to contact one of the above mittee members. RUMMAGE SALE The Women’s Association of the Presbyterian Church will hold a rummage sale, Saturday, April 6 at the VFW Hall.

| Strictly Personal! D.E.N. At the forthcoming Hoosier State Press Association, each newspaper is supposed to bring a product of his town to be distributed as gifts among the other newspapers. Have thought long and hard. It'd be difficult to take a kitchen or a travel trailer, or even a bathtub or sink. Have finally decided to take a gallon of maple syrup. ★ ★ ★ Wouldn't the white house be a busy place if Bobby, Ethel, and the ten kids moved in! ' ★ * ★ Does anyone else collect old political campaign buttons? We have many Willkie buttons (remember the one I WANT TO BE CAPTAIN TOO) a Landon sunflower, and even a Stassen button. ★ ★ ★ Speaking of Bobby, do you know what President had the most children? It was John Tyler. See how much trivia we know. ★ ★ ★ One of the questions on a recent high school quiz has us stumped, and we've been all through our reference books. It's what president of the U. S. taught at Harvard? We don't know, do you? Taft taught at Yale, and Wilson at Princeton. ★ ★ ★ Get those at the school administration offices to tell you about their new safe. As we understand it, a truck pulled up to deliver a 1100 pound safe. But it had disappeared from the truck. Apparently it had slid off en route. ★ ★ ★ We liked Ben Blue's tv description of a hippie. Someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane, and smells like Cheeta.
