From Nappanee to Napanee ... Canadians roll out red carpet

' by Wavy Yoder On Sunday, August 3rd at the hour of 5 am., when most of the city of Nappanee was still sound asleep, 46 people climbed aboard the bus chartered by the Nappanee Lions Club for a visit to the city of Nappanee, Ontario, Canada. Aboard this bus for a period of nearly 12 hours, everyone became very well acquainted. Bill Hostetler and Everett Pippen (Bag) had planned the trip and all seemed to go well for those present. We learned that even the Police Chief has a sense of humor once outside the city limits and that the Fire Chief wanted to be sure that all the ladies were treated equally. Bill Hostetler became quite adept at using the speaker, so much so that the bus driver almost had it disconnected so that it could be silent while everyone was trying to sleep. It was one of those trips that if you left your sense of humor at home, you were in deep trouble. Arriving in Nappanee. Ontario at ahnnt 7 p.m. their time, we were royally greeted by the President of the Lions Club as he climbed aboard the bus and escorted Mr. and Mrs. Dean Middaugh and Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Yoder off the bus. We just hadn't realized that they had already heard about them. What we found out later was that they had personal escorts by the Police Chief of the citv and the man

that is the head of the Fire Dept. Their present Fire Chief has been ill and was not able to be there for the many good times ahead. As we were escorted thru town with red lights and sirens, who should greet us in the center of town but our favorite “Bag Pipe Band” and then we were escorted on to the Napanee Lions Hall. Mayor Smart, who many remembered from being here last summer, greeted everyone and said he thought he was glad to see some familiar faces although he couldn't be sure because the men just didn't look the same without their fuzzy faces. Avery lovely Sunday evening supper was served by the ladies of the Lions to the guests at one of the most delightful buildings. The Napanee Lions purchased this building and it really is a pleasure to enter: a large hall which has a nice big stage, with all the conveniences that any organization could possibly want. Mr. Neal Storing, who spent time in the Nappanee area last summer, soon had all families placed together and we were off to our homes for the next few days. As we arrived that evening, we really thought we were seeing things when we looked up and saw Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Krou and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Smith and their guests. We were almost sure the bus

driver had become confused and gone back home. We had the good fortune of being guests of the Lion Cub and his family while there. A Lion Cub is the youngest member of the club, and he remains the Cub until someone younger in age joins the club. At one time our teenage daughters were planning the trip also and we think this may have been planned for their benefit. No one could have been greater than Larry McTaggart and his parents, Keith and Muriel McTaggert. If all of the guests were treated as royally as we were, and I am sure they were, it had to be the greatest of vacations for many. Several families stayed with the families that had been their guests last year and friendships continue to grow. On Sunday evening, our hosts decided to take us on a tour of the city, and what a pleasant area. Mr. McTaggart is the head of maintenance at the Napanee Hospital and so we were priviledged to have a complete tour of the facilities and such a lovely complete unit to have in the community of 5000 people. It serves a very large area and is very well equipped. Mrs. McTaggart is employed by a doctor in the city who is one of 10. He is a surgeon and is kept quite busy. To top the evening, a stop was made at Carter's Antique Shop, and I could hardly keep my eyes on one thing long enough before something else was spotted. Mr. and Mrs. Carter were lovely people and you could tell they loved the many things in the home as they lived with them constantly. Monday morning came around rather quickly and again we were off to the new plant being built along the shores of Lake Ontario. Avery qualified guide gave us a tour of the main information centre and then drove us through the grounds of the operation, and for the brave of heart they climbed the steps inside. As of now, this large plant is run by oil and the hope of using the plentiful supply of uranium in the soil in Canada is being investigated for further use in some of the future plants and installations. We arrived back in the city of Napanee and had lunch at the recently refurbished Campbell House, an older hotel which is in the process of being redone. From the luncheon, we journeyed out to the fair grounds where we were allowed to spend the afternoon visiting the exhibits. Something new for most of the Indiana Hoosiers was the pari-mutual betting on the horse races. For most of us it was a new and costly experience, but a few must really be pro at it, as Karl Kauffman, Bag Pippen and Delbert and Kate Yoder seemed to pick up what the rest of us lost. The evening was a lovely evening planned for us with a delicious smorgasbord dinner at the Lions Hall. The dinner included roast beef, turkey, cabbage rolls, and salmon and salads and for some reason, everyone was just famished.

Why is it when you travel you always get hungry? During the evening a young man and his band entertained for dancing and evening of fun and fellowship. Presentations were made following the dinner. A gift of anew bell and anew gavel was presented to Lion President, Dr. Dennis Mattern of the Indiana club, by Lion President Ron Deremo. Mayor Smart made several presentations to Eldon Schrock, who was our council member from Nappanee who was on the trip. He also presented a Canadian flag to Everett Pippen as being a Past Mayor of Nappanee, to bring back to be given to Mayor Newcomer to be flown at city hall. Fire Chief Delbert Yoder presented a plaque to the Napanee, Ontario Fire Dept ~ making them honorary members of the Smokey Stovers of Nappanee Indiana. Police Chief Dean Middaugh presented the Chief of Police with a gift of a statue of the familiar Keystone Cops. Carl Yoder presented a membership certificate of the Nappanee, Indiana Chamber of Commerce for 1975 to Mayor Smart, and the Mayor presented him with a gift of gold cuff links and tie tack, for being the one who started the visits between the two cities two years ago, when he and five others made the first trip to Canada for the celebration of the aniversary of their club. Present on this trip were Rich (Pinch) Vinke, Bill Hostetler, Elmer Krou, Tom Young and John Kuhns. All were back again except John Kuhn and Tom Young. Tuesday morning found us up bright and early except for one couple who just couldn’t seem to get with it. We had the opportunity to visit one of the cqrrectional institutions which is very new arid is really quite an institution. We were given an extensive tour by the men in charge. Many of the men who are in the Center do go to regular jobs each day. Several are learning trades in the Center that they can do when they leave the area. It is well staffed with nursing care, and qualified, trained personnel which seemed to be one of the secrets of the institution. It was certainly obvious that those learning the area of food preparation have become quite adept as they served us a brunch that many caterers would be proud to serve. We were then taken back to the shopping mall for some shopping and a luncheon at the Paul Bunyon Restaurant, courtesy of the City of Napanee. Our afternoon was free and some of the avid golfers headed for the golf course. Others visited the downtown shopping area, where I do believe there was a run on Electric Tea Kettles, which no Canadian housewife is without. Most of the Indiana housewives found them quite intriguing. Every one was so friendly and wanted to visit with us, and it is surprising how much the two cities really have in common. The population is not too much of a variation but don’t be surprised if you see a sign of blue and white suddenly appear with the spelling of Napanee, Population 5000 in either Dean Middaugh’s or Vic Hassel’s front yard some evening. In the evening we were honored to take our hosts to the only air conditioned restaurant in the city. They just dont’ seem to have the need normally for air conditioning, but they were having the hottest weather since 1928, according to our host family. A lovely cruise from Kingston on the Island Queen was the coolest area in the whole time spent in Ontario. The same band led by Brian Thresher and his men, called “The Missions”, performed aboard the boat for those who wished to dance. The lovely evening air was best enjoyed on the top deck but it was really a lovely sight to pull into the harbor at Kingston and see the lighted buildings, especially the municipal building, which had been recently redone. Carl and I had the advantage of staying in the home where our very qualified bus driver stayed. We had traveled with him last fall on a four day trip to Arkansas ana it was a real pleasure. Everyone always wondered how we got that front seat. Mr. Linton Norris was his name and we knew if he could get us through the hills of Arkansas, we certainly had no worry about getting us back home to Nappanee. Ind.

The Consumer Today Fall fashions

JUDITH C. FORNEY, HOME ECONOMIST The month of August brings with It the new fall fashions. Mothers are beginning to think about back to school clothes, and the fashion conscious are wondering what will be in style for fall. Many consumers spend a considerable amount of their money on clothes and accessory items. The proper or “fashionable” clothes can help a person to feel in pace with the times, therefore allowing him to be more at ease with his surroundings. There is a wide range of what is considered “fashionable” clothing, it is often dictated by the region a person lives in, his age, his occupation, and economical and social influences. Each new season has what is called a range of fashion colors. A consumer will find fashionable stores carrying large ntanbers of garments in these fashion colors. This fall the fashion colors will revolve around greens, /especially hunt green and other deep muted greens, teal and china blue, mauve, rusts and shades of brown, and eggshell or beige. Patterned fabrics are big. Plaids on plaids, which means to mix two different plaids in the same outfit, will be seen in use. Prints, especially small flowered or geometric peasant prints will be popular in dresses, blouses, and smocks. Prints are also being mixed. Another place where patterns will be seen is in striped sweaters. The stripes will range in a variety of styles from horizontal, vertical, to jagged and uneven widths. These

The trip home was a bit more quiet than the trip going. We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did and we are sure there are stories to be told by others. Perhaps some are best left untold. The City of Napanee, Ontario certainly left no doubt as to being able to host a group of roaring Lions and guests from NaDDanee. Indiana. A final note was the returning of the personal property to Thelma Lutes at the Wayside, where many who made the trip gathered on Friday to help return it. We know she appreciated the autographs. Lions making the trip were Pennis and Cathy Mattern, our local president; BiH Hostetler, “Bag” and Charlotte Pippen, Howard and Bernice Berger, Delbert and Kate Yoder, Richard and Edna Vinke, Elmer and Virginia Krou, Clyde and Isobel Rogers and Carl and I. Others who helped make the trip a great one were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Roose, Mr. and Mrs. Devon Richmond, Mr. and Mrs. Menno Pletcher, Mr. and Mrs. Loren Lutes, Mr. and Mrs. Russel Ervin, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Hassel, Mr. and Mrs. Haskei Osborne, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Sechrist, Mr. and Mrs. Dean Middaugh, Mr. Dan Metzler, Mrs. Ursela Metzler and Mrs. Bill Metzler, Mrs. Dorothy Cork, Mrs. Inez Tobias, Mr. Karl Kauffman, Mr. Eldon Schrock and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Nunemaker. It was also a delight to meet Mr. and Mrs. Louis Smith and their guests in Napanee and to have them join in the fun wiih us. A big note of thanks goes to Bill and “Bag” for planning and taking on the responsibility of such a venture. I, like others, am ready for another such trip in the years to come and we are already looking forward to having our hosts visit us real soon. This, of course, was written in the first person and from my own recollections and I am sure many of the others had experiences that they would like to share and I hope that they share them with you. My biggest problem in writing has been in keeping the spelling of these two towns correct and in place but I have not had to misspell Indiana which we found everyone wanted to spell Indianna. We decided that they dropped the one “N” from Denis Mattern’s name and put it in Indiana. If and when this trip comes up again, the waiting list will probably be longer as quite a few have said “Oh, we heard you had such a good time that we wish we would have gone.” It is true but it was also a real treat to cross the Michigan-Indiana state line and to know that we would soon be home again.

sweaters will be found as pullovers, v-necks, bulky outer sweaters, and two piece sweater sets. Separates are still big news for fall. Many designers have found separates to lend themselves very well for all Separates are also ideal for the type of life most people lead, active and versatile. It also allows them to have a larger wardrobe with less cost and upkeep. The clothes seen this fall will be more flowing with soft fluid dresses, blouses with gathering instead of darts and fuller sleeves. Hemlines are definitely at the knee or below, preferably just below the knee. You might as well discard the “mini" skirts, because they will definitely look out of place. The Big skirt is being seen constantly. It can be worn with blouses and sweaters, topped with another sweater or a jacket, and cinched with a belt. Blazers, two and three button jackets, jackets with mandarine collars, and wrap coats are all in style. Smock tops, large dresses with yolks, sleeve interest, and neckline treatment are very much in vogue. Ethnic clothing is also being seen, either used as part of a costume, or mixed with several different items of clothing. Shoes with straps and heels are seen with flowing dresses. Platforms, in all different heights and designs are also being worn. Shoes with wedge heels are just the thing to wear with a big skirt. For those of you who live in blue jeans, don’t worry, they are still very much in style. The only difference is that jeans are being worn rolled up to just below the knee.

Congressional corner By Congressman John Brademas The 94th Congress, underway now for seven months, has already established one of the most productive legislative records of any Congress in a similar period in the past quarter century. With unemployment at the highest level in forty years and inflation soaring, Congress formulated its own antirecession program and moved vigorously on it. Enacted in March was a $23 Billion tax cut to stimulate the nation’s economy and provide tax relief for low and moderate income families. But three key initiatives of Congress to battle the recession—emergency jobs appropriations, emergency middle income housing, and farm support—were vetoed by President Ford. The President also used the veto to kill two other vital bills: one, to protect the environment from the ravages of the strip mining of coal; the other, to block his tax aimed at raising the cost to consumers of imported oil. Congress also voted to extend unemployment compensation, prohibit food stamp price hikes and assure cost of living increases for social security beneficiaries. The House has already passed four bills to deal with the energy problem. Congress is studying the operations of the CIA and other federal intelligence agencies. And Congress has set its own ceiling on federal spending under new Congressional budget procedures, and has approved a seven year extension of the historic Voting Rights Act. The House continued the process of making reforms in the conduct of its own business, including opening of all committee hearings to the public and electing committee chairmen. In all, by August the House and Senate have completed action on over 75 important bills. Additional major legislation awaits Congress when it returns: Health, Education, Tax Reform, to name a few. Congress will work to continue the record it has already established in the first seven months, a record of which the American people can be proud.
