and Charles Mikel of Jefferson township. Mr. Rovenstine had been active in Republican politics for more Hi an 25 years. He has long been a precinct committeeman in Harrison township. He has been affiliated in the grocery business in Atwood for more than 30 years, i He is a former member of the Harrison township advisory board. The new councilman is married to the former Grace Kinzie of Bourbon. They have one son, Al, who assists his father in the grocery, and a daughter, Mrs. Diane Baney, also of Atwood. Rovenstine will serve as commissioner until November 7, finishing the term of Zimmerman. County Republican chairman Giles Hoffer is expected to call a GOP central committee* meeting within a few weeks to fill the vacancy created on the November general election ticket by Zimmerman’s death. Producer John Baldwin Plays Leading Actor Producer John Baldwin of Enchanted Hills Playhouse will make his debut as a leading actor in his own bam theatre on July 11, in “Send Me No Flowers.” He will play the role of George Kimball in the comedy written by Norman Barash. Mr. Baldwin and Jon Baisch started the Playhouse last summer as a partnership and thus far Mr. Baldwin has been mostly concerned with the business end of the theatre. However, he also has a rich background of professional acting. He has acted professionally in Alaska, Michigan and Indiana; has done night club work; and for three years was the head of the drama department at Manchester college. He graduated from UCLA with a Master of Arts degree in dramatic arts. Mr. Baldwin said the play was Chosen because it is so apropos of our times. With so much talk about medical care for the aged and cholesterol, “Send Me No Flowers,” a story of a hypochondriac who has every symptom described by his friends and the medical dictionary, seems quite typical. The fun begins when he decides that he really is dying.

Facts About Girls' State By SALLY BERKEYPILE All the states in the United States with the exceptoin of Alaska and Hawaii hold Girls’ State each year. The first Girls’ State was held in 1938 and the first in Indiana was in 1941. The first one was held at Indiana Central college in Indianapolis and later moved to Indiana university in Bloomington. The purpose of Girls’ State is to provide citizenship training; to afford them the opportunity to live together as self-governing citizens and to grasp the meaning of some of the responsibilities which they must assume as adult citizens. At Girls’ State the counselors were all members of the American Legion Auxiliary, the organization which sponsored some 909 girls. There were five cities in each of the five counties. Each city was named after past presidents of the American Legion Auxiliary. The five counties were named: Loyalty, Democracy, Justice, Freedom and Service. Each girl was assigned to a certain political party, Federalist or Nationalist and was given a city and county to represent. Our day began at 6 a. m. with flag raising ceremonies which instilled a sense of patriotism in each and every girl. The primary election was held on Tuesday and the general election followed on Wednesday. One interesting thing we all learned how to do was vote on a machine. We attended a meeting of the House of Representatives and Senate. All in all, we learned a great deal about our intricate government and how it is run. This has truly been a fascinating experience for me and one any girl would be proud to say she once attended. , Claytons And Kings To Travel In Britain Two former pastors and wives of the Milford Methodist church have planned a trip abroad this summer. Rev. and Mrs. L. E. Clayton of Marion and Rev and Mrs. Marion O. King of Lapel will leave July 15 for New York city where they will fly by jet to London. They will spend about five weeks in Great Britain visiting England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Points of interest related to John Wesley and early Methodism will be visited as well as old castles and cathedrals, several colleges and universities, Stratford on Avon and the Shakespeare country, the old Roman Wall, Monuments of Stonehenge and other places of cultural and historical significance. The two couples will return to the states by boat and arrive home about August 25. FAMILY GpRRY-IN DINNER AT A.
