any and all federal programs. Much was made about cutting the NEA budget, which was S2B million. According to my figures, the extra $7 billion is 250 times the whole NEA budget. With the wars going on throughout 4he world, don’t we need these Stealth bombers and Seawolf submarines? Our whole philosophy of the Defense Department is to be prepared for two simultaneous regional wars. This in case we have to fight Bosnia and Haiti, or Irac and Korea at the same time. If we assume this to mean a fullscale war instead of part of a peace-keeping force, would this thinking be considered practical? I believe U.S. citizens would not support this idea. The idea of sending troops as part of a peace-keep-ing force has raised some questions as to the wisdom of such an undertaking. Sending troops to Haiti was discussed a few years ago, but was met with disapproval. If we don’t want to send troops as

a peace-keeping force, why would we want to send troops into two wars? If this whole idea isn’t feasible, maybe we should change our philosophy. Then we can look at a more realistic budget. What of all the jobs that are lost? When IBM, Xerox, Kodak, etc., lay off thousands, this is seen as a good thing. This downsizing is to make these companies more efficient. Also the stocks rise, which makes everyone happy. If the idea is to make federal programs more efficient, shouldn’t this apply to every program? The idea to use these savings to retrain these people has been discussed. With the training these people receive, shouldn’t the integration into the private sector be somewhat easy? I do believe we need more discussion on what exactly is expected of our military. Sincerely, Brian Hartman 26649 US6 East Nappanee, IN. 46550

They deserve thanks

TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: ‘Tis the season to be jolly! What a nice time to convey a note of thanks to the leaders of the greatest city in the USA. To our mayor, city council, and especially to the superintendents of our various departments, and their hard-working hands. The street department has done a great job all summer, and a super job of keeping the leaves off the streets this fall. The water department has kept us with clean, pure water, and has allowed us to water our lawns, without restrictions. The sewer department has kept our sewers open, and has operated the plant in a very professional manner, even keeping the grounds in scenic condition. The EMS department, God bless them. Morning, noon and night, they are on the job. When their beeper goes, they go. The same for our fire department. When the call comes, they are on their way to

The word quarantine comes from the Latin quadringa, meaning 40. In early times, officials held a ship outside port for 40 days if they suspected passengers carried infection.

George T. Ager, Goshen News made the following comments: Just twenty-one years ago I drove the first stake in the wilderness for what is now a beautiful thriving city, stopping with Daniel Metzler in a log house six rods west of the

help save lives and property. Thanks, too, for their employers, who give them time off to do their duty. To our police chief, his officers, the patrolmen, and the part-time patrolmen, we say thanks. When we read in the paper what all they are doing, we marvel at their dedication and their bravery. We can sleep in peace. Not forgetting our garbage men. What a job they do. Every chance I have, I tell them how much we appreciate them. They are good guys. Nappanee —you are the greatest! Hap & Gini Hossler We use recycled newsprint

intersection of Main and Market streets. We two took the jibes and jeers of the wits for laying out a town in the nowhere with nobody for neighbors, but the stakes were driven just the same, and Locke station was made to give way to Nappanee, not, however, without a contest between the railway company and Locke as to the name. Nappanee won and while Mr. Metzler has long since been gathered to his Fathers, the swamp has been made to bloom like the rose and where frogs made their abode, to-day is located one of the best and most thrifty young cities of this progressive civilization, with a society and people to match. There must be the right kind of people there, else these things and attendants could not exist. 75 YEARS AGO DECEMBER 9, 1920 The Mutschler Bros, company has a large force of men woricing twelve hours a day for the coming two weeks, in order to take care of rush orders. The annual election of officers of the Elkhart county Medical society was held Wednesday evening. Officers are as follows: President, W. B. Page; vice-presi-dent, Dr. W. A.

In a few days the Farmers & Traders bank of Nappanee will aid in having a Merry Christmas, by mailing checks to the members of the Christmas club for $15,000, this represents the amount of their deposits and interest at 4%. A party of B & O officials, traveling by special train, visited Nappanee Monday afternoon for a conference with our local agent and a party of manufacturers and business men. The problems of each manufacturer were gone over, and the meeting will no doubt prove of much vdflue in the.future business relations of the shippers and the company. A request was made to have no. 7 fast passenger train, passing through Nappanee about Ip.m., stop at Nappanee on flag signal. This train does not stop here at present, but at Bremen, necessitating Nappanee people driving to that station when wishing to take this train to Chicago. The matter will be taken under consideration. 50 YEARS AGO DECEMBER 5, 1945 SERVICE NOTES: Cpl. R. A. Deardorff is at Tyndall Field, Fla. Gerald E. Bigler, TM2/c is now overseas in the Pacific Area.
