LETTERS Dear Den, Thanks for printing my letter two weeks ago, hut I am truly sorry if I embarassed you. Meant every* word of it, though, and also I am- sony you are not a member ‘of my family nor a relative, but think you would make a good brother. To the Dear “Proud Mother”, you must be a good mother and Pm very happy you have a son who got through school without getting into trouble, even if he never got his name in the paper. You are very fortunate and one of the very lucky mothers. As I said in my letter, not all young people are bad, and I like to see them get the most out of life, if it is good. But Dear Proud Mother, you had better face up to it, there are far more young people drinking beer and liquor than you know about, and when you say “very few people here do that”, either you are like an ostrich -hiding your head so you can’t see what is going on or you are one of those who are saying, I’ve raismy son, he never did anything wrong, so what. My family is all gone too now, have grandchildren, but I ean’t sit back with folded arms, do nothing and not feel sorry for other parents who have problems. In looking over the paper I saw any number of good things written about our young people, pictures too, also some very good recipes, (why don’t you try them), news of our churches and their activities, birthdays of friends, bowling news, good ads and bargains of our merchants, just to name a few. If you look for the good you can always find it. But proud mother if you were so mad at that stupid letter, and you had “sworn” tch, tch, you would never write to our Editor, I’m truly glad I did write it, kinda got under your skin a bit, eh? Why don’t you proceed to find out a few facts, as some of us know them. You as a “Proud Mother” and surely a good Christian Parent could he of great help to our young people and their parents with your wealth of past experience. As far as seeing your name in the paper for something good you did,iist s counts for little, it’s what is in your heart that counts. Keep up the good work Don, at least you are still trying. The letter accusing you of “making jokes about the marijuana growing around here” and people coming l ttp here to get it”, was, -well, just plain silly. The papers from two

or three larger cities had carried the story several times before you printed it, you got scooped again. So help us all, I never heard you joke about it, far from it. Sure something can be done about it, and something is being done to destroy it. Keep on praying to stop this terrible evil and offer your assistance to help in any way you pan. The community needs good people like you to help make this a safer place for our young people. You will surely be surprised how much good you can do and find it very rewarding as well. Again Pm sorry Don if I embarassed you and I guess it won’t make much difference what you do or do not print in your paper, you couldn’t please everyone. Always a few who like to pick you apart and try to undo all the good you do, but don’t give up. Print it as you see it, and if the shoe pinches a bit they know what they can do. Sincerely, Again Concerned Grandparents Dear Don: In the last few years I have become increasingly interested in the problem of air pollution. My interest has been heightened because of the Arthur Godfrey Radio Show. Arthur is extremely concerned with the problems of water and air pollution and the Ecology of nature, the abuse and balance of air, soil, birds and animals. These things are often disregarded in the modern, fast moving world we live in today. These are subjects which are vital, however, to our future. I’m writing to pass on something that we can do to help with the problem of air pollution. The factories contribute only about 15% of the pollution, while you and I and others across the country make up the other 85%. Arthur’s suggestion is that we do not rake up and burn our leaves, but rather run our lawn mowers over the leaves. This will grind them fine so that they won’t be unsightly. This, first replaces nutrients the soil needs, second, prevents fires that are hazards in the Fall, and third, prevents air pollution. I realize that this will not eliminate the problem, but it will keep from adding to it. Sincerely yours, Mrs. Ned Hoover

Nichols, Jr. NOTICE Pictures for publication are welcome, but no picture will be returned by mail unless a self-addressed stamped envelope is sent with it. No charge for publishing pictures, news stories or announcements. Dear Don: I’ve lived here for many years and like Nappanee and most of its citizens. I’ve served the public 13 years of this time. I am wondering if the parents know how their well behaved children act away from home. The young boys of self respected parents of Nappanee act in a way I know their parents would not approve. If we could only sit in on some of their school classes and see some of their actions I know we as parents would be appalled. The teachers in the Bth grade class are threatening to fail the whole class for the actions of a few. This isn’t fair for the majority who are really trying, or to the teachers either. Can’t something be done about this? A concerned parent

rare SOCIAL SECURITY

Question I am 65 and three years older than my wife. Will she be entitled to Medicare when she applies for social security benefits at age 62? Answer No. She cannot be entitled to Medicare until age 65 even though she’ can receive social security benefits prior to that time.

D.E.N. We'll ever be fans of International Milling Cos. and eternally grateful to the Nappanee Milling Cos. Every effort was made so that the Advance-News could have the story first. How a hometown paper appreciates this! ★ ★ M The Hilton in Indianapolis won't be completed until-well into 1970. It's booked up for conventions through 1972 already. ★ ★ ★ The Northwestern University fan club has only two members in Nappanee. The local chapter is rather quiet this year with opponents Miami, Southern Cal, Purdue, Notre Dame, and Ohio State back to back. Some schedule! ★ ★ ★ In Indianapolis, the number of Wallace bumper stickers is alarming. In Nappanee, Dunham & Love has bubble gum (shaped like cigars) with either Nixon or Humphrey. Humphrey bubble gum sales are ahead. This sort* of predicting may put computers out of business. ★ ★ ★ We've made up our mind on our candidate for President, but are still undecided on Governor. We're fairly certain about Senator and Congressman. We are the kind who studies and picks and quibbles, but usually have a good reason for each vote. ★ ★ ★ A card from Norm and Barb Burt who are motoring through Europe on their way to thalr new assignment. They had iust passed through the seven mile tunnel from France to Italy. ★ ★ ★ Saw a VW with a bumper sticker that just said "Bumper Sticker". ★ ★ ★ Merl Mikel came in with an object which the editor, a city boy, couldn't have identified if he tried. It was a sweet potato weighing 2 Vi pounds. ★ ★ ★ It's Easter at the Ziliaks. Elizabeth reports that her Easter lilies are blooming.
