John Coppes Wins Writer's Plaudits

By FRANK WHITE A STALWART OF the 94th State Legislature, sitting on the GOP minority side this time, is Rep. John F. Coppes of Nappanee. He has serv\d in the legislature since 1959. In a House where Democrats hold 88 scats and Republicans only 22, Coppes stood to challenge the $1.7 billion dollar biennial budget of ..the Gov. Roger D. Branigin administration. Coppt's' was chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee in J .da’ member of tW Budget Committee sr.ee 1968. m his barbed. speech, Coppes warned that as a result of spending proposals, a crisis is building for the 1967-69 biennium budget that well may reach $62 million dollars. Here is a typewriter sketch of the turdV Copper who has had such a heavy hole in the legislature. His seat was challenged in the present assembly and he had to stand mutely aside until a bipartison House committee counted absentee ballots that were’in dispute. Coppes was the vic-

tor by unanimous decision, winning by 37 votes, losing but one in the reI count. .■ He maintained a calmness through- | out the recount, Democrat Rep. Everett M. Mishler of New Paris, who shares representation of Elkhart county with Coppes, opposed seat- i ing Coppes. but after his seating j took the floor to welcome him in the House. I .COPPES WAS born in Nappanee in i 1910, .graduated from elementary' and I high schools there, and has attended | both Indiana and Purdue 'uijiver- ■ . sities. The depression took him out ' of the university to drive a truck for ! the family firm of Coppes, Inc., mak-. er of kitchen cabinets. He served as a salesman also for the Nappanee , Milling Co . a subsidiary enterprise. Coppes, his brother and sister sold , | the cabinet firm last June to cousins. J He has additional political plans • ed in the 1959 legislature when there were only 21 Republicans. Few know the enormous load a Ways and Means chairman of the House carries in formulating a bien- i nial budget. In 1963 the Coppes com-’ m.ttee mes almost continuously day x by day and far past midnight in the ; hectic 101-day session. He finally t collapsed with paevmonia threat and difficulty he experiences with his throat at times. He shuns an operation to remove “poips”, or soft pulpy growths in his throat, until . absolutely necessary. . ’ 1 Outside throat ailment. Coppes is a stocky, hardy, healthy individual, i He plays golf in the high 70s but contion in the Legislature ’ I as his pr.ncipal hobby. ' I COPPES HAS -orted long on the Napp a n e e School Construction * Board The middle initial “F” in his ■ name is the first letter of Friday, 1 h.> mother's maiden name. He is a I past president ot Kiwanis. a member j of the Methodist church, Elks, * and . I Phi Gamma Delta. - . I j Rep. Coppes sizes up the heading | of the Branigrir budgrt toward red nk as follows He.said the state will spend some $17,900,000 more in the 1965-67 biennium for rising school en- I j roll merit than will be taken in by revenue, but that the deficit will be absorbed by an adequate surplus from the 1963415 biennium. ti. . trwy" i Mmsmi iiiTYv oc

He secs the 1967-1989 biennium as ng for difficulty, - even when considering tiie increased revenue over .the next' four years under the nn m nt tax system. He asked.pointidlv. “Do we want a tax increase in I two years or do we want to live within , (tor meads? This is a ques j tion that miro be answered by Gov. Branigin ‘and the top heavy Demo- ; majority of House and Senate j : of this legislative session". ( ■ Whetlief of the majority or the mi- ’ nority in a legislature, unquestion- : ably Coppes is 6ne of the top leaders of an assembly. He has sunk his j tcs'th' deeply into the baffling and I substantial problem of state RnancCB His present role (Mie of constructive opposition and his words earn- weight. 41 From Milford Enter District Contest I Tiu Milford music department will - .have 41 entries next Saturday.

Offering Tax Refunds In U. S. Savings Bonds

Savings bond chairman for Kosciusko county. Brace Wright, today reminded taxpayers that the Treasury Dcpartnx'nt will once again offer them the opportunity of taking income tax refunds in U. S. Savings Bonds. I The savings option, introduced in 1963, Ls in addition to the two standI ard options of taking tax refunds in cash or applying them to next year’s tax. ' "When a taxpayer elects to take ; his refund in Series E Bonds ', Mr. | Wright said, ‘.‘His money goes to i work immediately on two jobs. It begins to build his financial security At the same time, it contributes to our country's economic strength. "Every dollar invested in V. S. • Sav mgs Bonds makes our economy Stronger and our nation more se- . cure. This is a thought every taxpaying citizen should keep in mind when deciding wHat form he wants his tax refund to take. Those who elect the U. S. Savings Bond option join millions of Americans who are investing in their country's future in this way”. Taxpayers taking their 1963 refunds in Savings Bonds accounted in bond sales, and acquired more than 240.000 individual bonds, Mr. Wright commented. , "When you check the Savings Bond line on. your 1964 tax form", Mr. Wrikht pointed out. “You automat- . ically assure yourself of two advantages: Yofl provide yourself with an easy method of holding on to your tax refund dollars and a sure way of , making it grow 33-1 3 per cent larg- , er at maturity .All it takes is a check m.lrk on Line 21, Page 1. of Form HO4O. or Item 11 of Form 1040A i When your mark is made, thd rest is automatic For example, if you're entitled to a refund of 5M2. yotfll cet a SSO face -value Series E Bond < cost $37.50 •. plus a check for $4.50. “1 hope even more taxpayers than past year will take advantage of this ' easy method of buying bonds”. Mr. Wright said. “It’s’ the surest way I know of to make your tax refund really mean something to you”. | Tlie measure of a school isn't the price of its buildings, but the inspiration of its teachers and the determin- . ation wf its students
