STEVE GONSER Presents “Egypt” Housing Cont. from Pg. J said that Plymouth has received a state grant for this purpose, and he will also apply for financial assistance. Callander would also like to see plans being made to provide for capital services for two areas contiguous to the city land. The first “island” is just north of the Thompson & Yoder Funeral Home, owned by George Builders, which is completely surrounded by the city property. The second area is on the north and south sides of US 6, between Dairy Queen and Mallard Coach, which is also an “island.” Finally, Callander would like to see Nappanee become an official “Hoosier Celebration ’88” community. This is a state-wide Hoosier celebration, planned for 1988. One idea he shared was getting money for the historical room at the library and promoting it. “1 look for lots of things to happen in 1986,” the mayor emphasized.

Olen Anglin, chairman for tye project, expressed thanks to all who participated, as “ringers” and as “givers”.

And there’s enough natural gas this winter -- and for years to come -- to meet your needs at home, as well as on the job. Natural gas -- it’s a bargain!
