Coal Crisis Creates Emergency Requiring Restrictions on Use of Electricity Northern Indiana Public Service Company has always made an effort to maintain an adequate coal supply for the generation of electricity. Despite these efforts, curtailment of mining to three days a week and the several cessations of work at the mines have reduced our coal supply from 86 days on September 1, 1949 to a present level of approximately 20 days. During the current critical period the company has purchased all coal available from its normal sources, and in addition, has purchased a considerable quantity of fuel from other sources at premium prices. We have also made use of substitute fuels whereever possible. Despite all of these efforts, the situation has become so critical that it is now necessary for us to enlist the cooperation of our electirc customers in conserving electricity. This is necessary in order to protect the public safety, health, and welfare which would suffer in the event of a total interruption of electric service. Realizing the seriousness of this situation, the Public Service Commission of Indiana has issued an emergency curtailment order under which all customers are obliged to reduce their electrical usages by 25%. This order applies to all electrical customers of Northern Indiana Public Service Company, including residential, commercial, and industrial, and becomes effective at midnight Sunday, February 26. Only the following classes of usage are exempted from the terms of the order: 1. Pumping of water for fire protection and sanitary purposes. 2. Street lighting, except white-way street lighting in excess of the amount determined by local authority to be necessary for public safety 3. Fire and police authorities. 4. Operation of water filtration plants. 5. Operation of sewage disposal plants. 6. Operation of plants engaged in the preparation and preservation of perishable foods. P 7. Operation of hatcheries. - \ 8. Communications. \ t 9. Hospitals. ‘ \ 10. Penal and correctional institutions. / 11. Oil and gas production and transmission. The Seriousness of This Situation Requires the Whole-Hearted Cooperation of All Customers

School News WHO’S WHO The Virginia Reel? We seniors of 1950 have our own “real Virginia,” she is Virginia Ruth Grimes. Virginia, who is better kijown to all of us as "Ginny,” was born in Syracuse, Indiana, on April 10, 1931. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Grimes and lives east of Syracuse. Ginny is one of the taller girjs of the class, she is five foot seven, and weighs 125 pounds. She has very pretty brown hair and blue eyes. She has attended Syracuse schools all her life. She has been an active member of the 4-H club and in her Junior year was vicepresident of this club, she was a Junior Leader. Virginia’s most outstanding memory in her school life was putting on the class play in our Junior year, She was the mother of the two children in the play. Her favorite subjects are Home Economics and Typing, and she lists Miss Hamman as her favorite teacher. Virginia loves to sew and makes a lot of her own clothes, and she also has a hobby of doing shell work. Grime’s gripe are the trips she has to make to the dentist. Sammy Kaye is her favorite band leader and she especially likes the tune of “You Can’t Be True Dear.” When we asked her about her date bait she said, “A certain medium tall, good looking boy,” we don’t have to guess and we all think he is a “Pipp.” Virginia is not certain just what she will do after graduation but with her cooking and sewing and other abilities we know she will be a success in whatever she chooses. Good Luck, Virginia. Tuesday evening, Feb. Ik, the students gathered at the nigh school for a “sock hop.” The two ping-pong tables were moved to the north end of the gym. Chairs were placed along the stage and refreshment tables at the south end. The Senior girls prepared most of the food. Each class took part in the work with the Freshman class cleaning up afterwards. Everyone had a lot of fun. Many comments were heard Wednesday about the party. Most ended with, “I wish we could have another one.” Friday the sewing classes had a style show for the students and parents- Afterwards refreshments were served for the parents. WIN THAT SECTIONAL TOURNEY! Senior Class News The senior class wishes happy birthdays to: Carolyn Mulholland, Feb. 26. Eloise Godshalk, Feb. 27. Sandra Curry, Feb. 29. The entire student body expresses their sympathy to Miss Fuller on the death of her friend. To Mr. Gustafson and Mrs. Milan we wish a speedy recovery. We also wish the basketball team good luck in the sectional tourney. The composite picture and memory books of the senior class of 1950 have arrived. They are very nice and the seniors are very proud of them. The seniors had a class meeting Tues., to decide on the commencement announcements and name cards. They also have decided to wear gray caps and gowns for graduation ceremony. Will the person that borrowed Jack Darr’s razor please return it before the sectional tourney? The following boys and girls took part in the contest at Nappanee last Saturday: Sasha Ann Hire, vocal solo, “Carissima,” placed second. Girls Trio, singing, “Rain,” placed second, composed of Sasha
