Harold P Sandeen, right, circuit minister of 16 congregations in southern Michigan and northern Indiana, and Marvin Olson. local presiding minister, prepare for a three day ministry training assembly December 9-U >n Sturgis Approximately 1.000 witnesses and interested public are expected to attend assembly sessions scheduled for the Sturgis high school. Biggest obstacle for most people to overcome in understanding why wickedness prevails is acceptance of Satan as real, according to Sandeen. “If ancient Job were living today and Satan destroyed his ten children by storm, even the law courts would rule it an act of God. not Satan. Sandeen said. According to Jehovah’s Witnesses. Satan and his works of wickedness are to be removed by Divine power in this generation and paradise restored to earth.

Editorial In Wabash Paper: "Bouquet For Maurice Scott"

An editorial appeared in the Wabash Plain Dealer on December 2, which we will print in part. It is unusual for a publication to write such an editorial about a person not in their own immediate community. It follows: “Bouquet for Maurice Scott” ‘Maurice Scott, secretary of the Whitko Community School Corporation, is an uncommon public servant. that is to say, he is a man in public not afraid.’ ‘At a fiery school board meeting on November 22nd an excess of 100 persons jammed the office of the superintendent, many of whom were signers of a petition requesting the release from the corporation, attending in hopes of hearing what, if any, action the board cc-ntem-piated. ‘This was the group’s second attempt to buttonhole board members. The first resulted in an effort by the board president to adjourn the meeting before the citizens group could be heard and a subsequent board session from which the public was excluded.’ ‘Last Tuesday visitors almost got the same run around before several of them started bounding from their seats, demanding to be heard.

In the midst of the furor, Scott took the floor to direct a stinging salvo of criticism at the board for its handling of the issue, and horror of horrors, revealed a number of matters discussed in the board’s secret session. ‘When inquiries were made by the press about the executive session, the superintendent replied: “There is nothing to report” Scott continued: “I was reprimanded by some board members for talking to citizens on the streets. I begin to wonder where I was supposed to talk to them when they were never invited to board meetings.” The outspoken secretary further clarified his position with quotations from a bulletin from the Naional School Board association.' (These quotations were published in the November 30 edition of The Pierceton Press. I ‘Scotts behavior in standing up for his constituents and his own principals may be called shocking, outrageous and traitorous by those ,he has offended. We would like to be among the first to call it commendable. Points put forth by the N.S.B.A. bulletin apply equally to other public bodies. More public officials should take to heart’.”

Over 900 Sign Petition To Join Warsaw School System

Over 900 residents of Pierceton and Washington township have signed petitions requesting the Whitko School Board to release the township from the Whitko School Corporation for the purpose of merging with the Warsaw Community School System.

This represents roughly 90 per cent of the residents of the town and township. Following a meeting of Washington township residents in the social room of the Pierceton State Bank on a recent Wednesday morning, called in the wake of the school board’s motion to purchase the highly controversial Thomson site far the new Whitko school, no less than 40 persons carried petitions door-to-door throughout the township to get signatures. They reported remarkable unanimity among those asked to sign. The text of the petition follows: “We, the undersigned voters, residents and taxpayers, other than those who pay poll taxes in Washington township, Kosciusko county. Indiana, respectfully petition the Whitko communit}' school corporation to allow Washington township to withdraw from the said Whitko community school corporation for the purpose of merging with the Warsaw community school system. “We request this release for the reason that certain differences have arisen within our present school corporation winch would make it in the best interests of all concerned that we be released from said corporation, and that an equitable financial separation is presently feasible.” The movement to join the Warsaw school system comes following dissatisfaction among residents of Washington township over the Thomson site, and the failure of a movement for two high schools within the corporation to gain sufficient momentum to become a reality. Tuesday Meeting The petitions bearing the 900-odd signatures to join the Warsaw school system, were to be presented to the Whitko board on Tuesday of the next week as they were scheduled to meet in executive session with Nelson G. Grills, Indianapolis attorney and state senator from Marion county; Harold Boone of the state school house planning board of the department of public instruction: and Hubert Holmes of the state board of tax commissioners. The meeting was designed to be confidential and exploratory in nature. Attorney Grills was expected to bring to light to the members of the Whitko school board the full impact of the unanimity of sentiment in Washington township in its opposition to the controversial Thomson site. He was expected to point out that militant course of the board in settling on the Thomson site and no other wwdd unalterably lead to CLifton B. Thomas Services were held at 11:30 a.m. Monday at the North Webster funeral home for Clifton B. Thomas, 78, of r 1 Leesburg. Mr. Thomas passed away at 7:15 p.m. Friday in Whitley County hospital at Columbia City. He had been in failing health for sometime, but death was unexpected. Born in Madison county August 25, 1888, the son of John and Hattie (Ballard' Thomas, he married Uva I. Lee November 7, 1910, at Alexandria. A resident of the Leesburg-North Webster community for the past 20 years, he formerly owned a dairy manufacturer business and served as city purchasing agent at Springfield, Ohio. He was a member of the Masonic lodge at Leesburg. Survivors in addition to the widow include three daughters, Mrs. Frank (Dorothea* Kurth. Hobart, Mrs. Haves (Harriet) Hidy, Springfield. Ohio, and Mrs. Charles (Mary Elizabeth) Fralick, Alexandria, Va.; four grandchildren and four great-grand- i children. Hie Rev. D. D. Clark officiated for services and interment was at 2:30 p.m. in the Jones cemetery, west of Muncie. Masonic services were held at the funeral home at 8 p.m. Sunday.

a court battle, and that the corporation could ill afford any such battle. He was expected to add that with the heavy preponderance of public sentiment in Washington township unfavorable to the Thomson site, coupled with the report of the Pittsburg Testing Co. that the Thomson site was “unsuitable” for building a new school, that a court wxnild in all probability look askance at the action of the board in its adamant insistence that it would be the Thomson site and no other as the future home of the Whitko school. The meeting Tuesday night was the result of a motion made at the meeting Monday, Nov. 7, by member Joe Fisher and seconded by member Raymond Gall. While comments upon recent developments came hard early this week, at least one Whitko board member was willing to be quoted. Maurice Scott, who is on record as favoring one scliool. but opposed to the Thomson site since tlx? testing report became public knowledge, said the recent movement to join the Warsaw school system appeared to him to be the “peaceful solution to the Whitko school problem.” More Speculation There was also public speculation as to what impact the release of Washington township would have on the remainder of the Whitko corporation. Gene Ringgenberg. a well known Monroe townsfap resident, obtained a copy of the Washington petition and was expected to call a meeting of Monroe township residents to. get an expression of sentiment concerning any action they might take. Ralph Wrigley, another Monroe township resident and former Kosciusko county commissioner, said he felt the majority of residents in his township would circulate a petition to join the Warsaw system, should the board release Washington township. There were rumors that Richland township i Larwill* residents had felt out the Columbia City Joint school board to set if they would accept them into that school corporation, should the present Whitko corporation fall into disrepair. HEALTH THE MALINGERER THE word malingerer comes from the French malingre, meaning sickly. Mostly, though, malingerers are not sickly, but faking. The medical definition of malingering is the deliberate and fraudulent feigning or exaggeration of the symptoms of illness or injury, done for the purpose of a consciously desired end. This end may be financial profit, to avoid responsibility, or to gain sympathy. The malingerer is purposely trying to deceive someone. He will fake a disease which he does not have or will unduly exaggerate or prolong a minor ailment whirii he might have. Malingerers haveßeen known to throw’ fits, to imitate paralysis or to act deaf or blind. Detection of such frauds is often difficult. The malingerer, for obvious reasons, dislikes physical examinations and resists all efforts to cure. He hears less than the deaf, sees less than the blind and he appears to be crippled more than the paralyzed. But the physician observing and examining the malingerer sooner or later finds a flaw in the performance.
