UNCLE EB from EBENEZER Says: DEAR MISTER EDITOR: t The fellers at the country store Saturday night decided that reports on the death of newspapers was, like the man said, greatly eggzagerated. What got them started was this piece Zeke Grubb had saw about newspapers. This feller said in his piece that by the year 2000 newspapers would be as exstink as plowmules and wimmen with clothes on. The trouble is, this feller wrote, newspapers can’t keep up with the times. He said television already has took over news and all the papers got left was the comics and crossword puzzles. Well, Mister Editor, the fellers was general agreed they was nothing new in this piece, that somebody has been writing obituaries fer newspapers even since ole Ben Franklin started putting out his Pore Richards Almanak afore the Revolutionery War. But Ed Doolittle said from what he could learn they’re going stronger than ever. Ed, that was up reading his newspapers and farm journals afore most people git out of bed, said he was strong fer newspapers. He claimed you not only git more news in the paper than anywhere else, but you can git it as fast or as slow as you want it. Zeke Grubb was agreed with Ed, said them TV folks didn’t tell you but when they git set up fer some news and it don’t work out right they fix it to suit theirselfs. Fer instant, said Zeke, the TV did a series on starving yonug’uns so they just showed pictures of a sick baby that was born premature. The feller that runs the store butted in to say he had balked to a heap of salesmen in his time and they was agreed they wasn’t nothing that beat the newspapers fer making advertising stick in folks mind. He said he sorter feels like that feller said about the Lord—if they wasn’t no newspapers it would be necessary to invent some. Personal, Misted Editor, I was agreed with the storekeeper. Fer instant, I ain’t never heard nothing on radio or saw nothing on television about our sessions at the country store, and if yore paper didn’t come out this way we wouldn’t know how we was doing much less the rest of the community. The fellers don’t often come out so strong on.any item, but they was of a mind that the printed word would outlast ’em all and that newspapers still would be around in 2000—if people are. And it was Bug Hookum that sorter wrapped up the newspaper subject, Mister Editor. Bug said they won’t never come up with news that beats a newspaper fer wrapping up fish, table scraps, and keeping frost off tomater plants. Yours truly, s> Uncle Eb

Troop 33 Goes On Spy Mission For last week's meeting of Boy Scout Troop 33, Intertek computer sent out messages that the Mafia had infiltrated Nappanee disguised as a Boy Scout Patrol. Their purpose was to capture and destroy Mannix. In order to prevent this, Troop 33 patrols were given specific instructions. Two patrols were instructed to follow a prescribed route to a certain destination, where they built a fire to signal Mannix for a rendezvous. The other two patrols were told that the infiltrating group would light a fire in order to signal the Mafia leaders. Their mission was to put out the fire exactly three minutes after it started, without getting caught. Thirty Scouts participated in the adventure, which ended on the Glen Michael farm northeast of town. One patrol either got lost or ran out of energy. They will in the future be known as the “Tailbone” patrol. Troop 33 is making plans for the Miami District Camporee which will be held at the Goshen Fairgrounds, October 12 and 13. Physical fitness is the theme, and the patrol method will be used for all sorts of races, obstacle courses, etc. The troop also is looking forward to a Court of Honor to be held October 16. Parents will attend this meeting as the boys' will be honored with merit badges, rank awards, and special citations.
