If you’ve never driven a car like this before, that’s because there’s never been a cat like this Pontiac Grand Prix before. So new, it’s got its own 118" wheelbase. So new, it’s got its own aircraft-type interior. Anew steering wheel with a “soft” material rim. With a Wide-Track on big tires. With anew hidden radio antenna we’re daring everybody to find.

have you ever visited our City Court on a Saturday afternoon. It you would only take the time to visit one of their sessions, you would agree with Don and some more of us whai prompted him to write that Editorial You fathers and mothers would not so readily say my son or daughter is above anything like being fined for public intoxication or driving at ail excessive and prohibitive speed. Do you as parents know when your teen ager goes out with whom he goes, or what he does while he is gone. How would you like to pick up the paper and see your son or daughters name, whereby they had to appear in court for one of the above offenses or worse? Out of the goodness of his heart and respect for you he does not print their names. Parents of teen agers, grandparents all, I implore you wake up, get with it and give Don your whole hearted co-operation in apprehending these low down so and so’s. Don’t just sit there and pass judgement on him for his good efforts. What is more attend City Court Saturday afternoon and if you are the kind of person you should be, you’ll come away sadder but wiser. Our City Judge is an honorable man, a parent too and should be commended for his keen mind and kindly manner in dealing with everyone. Don’t underestimate him, he can really lay the “law down’’ as the saying goes and on occasion gives them everything that is coming to them besides being compassionate. If you could only hear the tales they tell the Judge, smirking all the while, you couldn’t help but wonder why or how he could deal them as he does. They never know, or do they, who sold them the beer or whiskey. Parents how would you like to be wakened in the middle of

Maine Sept. 16, 1968 Editor Nappanee Advahce News Nappanee, Indiana 46550 Dear Sir: The following is a letter that I wish you would insert in your newspaper under “Letters to the Editor”. fThank jyou. This summer, my wife, my daughter and I visited your beautiful city of Nappanee. The reason for this letter is to thank all the fine people who made our ten days in

There’s also The Great One. Our CsfO, the one that started it all. Complete with baseball-bat-proof bumper, fully padded instrument panel, distinctive Redline tires, along with specially designed suspension. Plus an assortment of V-B’s that’ll make your break from dull driving just about as pleasing as any you’ve ever made.

Nappanee the best vacation we have ever had. We “Down Maine” have the reputation of ,being “friendly” people. Let me tell you that the hospitality we received in Nappanee was outstanding and would be hard to beat and I hope /that if any of your readers ever come “Down East”, they will be treated and received as well as we were. I would like to especially thank the Longanecker Srs. for having us over to their house for “Pot Pie”, to the Weavers for the Homemade ice cream, to the Amish “egg lady” for being so friendly, to the Amish blacksmith for taking time out from his busy schedule to show us around his blacksmith shop, to the owner of the Dairy Farm, whose name presently escapes us, for showing us around the dairy. Also to Police Chjef Dean for allowing Sam Longanecker, Jr., our host, to take time off so that he could be with us. To the Reverends Erwin Thomas and Percy Cassel for being so friendly. We attended Sunday services at the Brethren in Christ Church, and although we were not members of this church, everyone made us feel “wilkum". Also a big thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Emerick of South Bend who showed us around their wonderful city. While in Nappanee we stayed on West Market St. and as you all know there are a lot of trucks that drive through town on their way up from Chicago. I can’t understand why these trucks aren't rerouted around your city especially during the summer months between 9 PM. and 6 A.M. I drove around your city and’l think that it would be relatively easy to reroute these noisy trucks. I would like to suggest that the trucks travelling West should be routed about six blocks from the center of town, namely, the intersection of Routes 19 and 6. These trucks should be sent North then

The same procedure could be applied to the trucks going East. It is beyond my understanding why this hasn’t been done before. Elkhart has a by-pass, why not Nappanee? I am sure that the people who live along Market St. and try to sleep on hot, humid nights would appreciate this by-pass.

Lachance 9 Fogg Avenue Biddeford, Maine 04005 September 18, 1968 The Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana To the Editors: The U. S. Supreme Court has ruled that mailing pornography is “constitutional” whereas repeating the Lord’s Prayer in the public schools is “unconstitutional.” Former Judge Wallace does not agree with either court ruling and neither do the majority of people. It is therefore suggested we get rid of the minority Washington cabal with their atheists, sex perverts and Seusitioity Training and help George Wallace revive the Christian spirit of decency and truth on which this country was founded. Cordially yours, Robert C. Schwab Route 1 - Box 160 Ellsworth, Maine 04605 JUNIOR HIGH YOUTH The Junior High Youth of the Church of the Brethren met for their first meeting Sunday evening, September 22.

Strictly Personal ■ ■■■■■■■ D.E.N. We experienced one of the agonies of a weekly when, with only rumors to go on, we hoped that there'd be a release on the Coppes sale so that we could, for once, scoop the others. Instead, a week later we were scooped. ★ ★ ★ If you really want to see how rough things are, buy one of the new nickel Hershey bars. ★ ★ ★ Have suddenly experienced multiple deaths in the tropical fish tank. We suspect foul play. ★ ★ ★ Banks in this town have been very understanding about college students who overdraw their checking accounts. Father usually gets a call and runs down to make up the difference. Hasn't happened personally, but two fathers have already reported this happening. '* * ★ / The amount of George Wallace bumper stickers seen in Indiana is frightening. Can these people really be serious? ★ ★ ★ Nappanee's getting a lot of publicity about the amount of marijuana growing here. Someone even suggested that we have a marijuana festival. Actually, the stuff has been sent to Purdue for study and was found to be exceptionally low grade quality. ★ ★ ★ Jack Templeton read of Nappanee's marijuana while in Houston, Texas. A lady wrote us a good letter on the- subject, but we can't use it because it was unsigned. ★ ★ ★ Reaction to the editorial on the suppliers of akhol to minors was interesting. One concerned parent came in and- gave us $5, so the reward is now $lO5. A man from the country was mast helpful. Gave what could be some valuable information. ★ ★ ★ Lois Miller had a nice thing happen. She received word that a publisher will publish her Christmas cantata. ★ ★ ★ Fern Long is here for two weeks. California has certainly agreed with her. She's having a busy time here seeing all her friends.
