Fire Completely Destroys Shank Feed Mill Thursday

The Shank Feed Mill o( Pierceton. owned by Harry Shank of Warsaw. was almost completely destroyed by fire, which broke out at about 645 p m Thursday. The mill, of frame structure on a cement foundation, was doomed from the start as when the fire was first detected flames were shooting out of the entire second story’ windows, with only the office located in the center of the budding' on the west side not ablaze. The building was 115 years old, and was one time a flour mill. Some of the burrs used in the grinding of flour were cemented into the foundation of the building where an addition was constructed later. Harry Shank said the budding was

partially covered by insurance. Ht estimated his loss roughly at $65.00 or $70,000 figure, as it is still impossible to get an accurate account until the building has cooled dowr. enough to make a thorough check He said the insurance investigators, who were present Friday mom-ng. cautioned him and other employees not to take any chances while there was still so much danger, either from smoke or possibly explosions. Another possibility of damage is to the wheat contained in one silo, which may be seen in one (rs the fire pictures found in this issue. The damage would be if the wheat became too hot inside the metal silo. Shank said the amount of drugs.

FIRE PHOTOS — The two top photos shown here of the Shank Feed Mill fire last Thursday night were taken by Shari Burt, Pierceton beautician. with her Polaroid Land camera. The bottom photo was taken by a Pierceton Press photographer on Friday as the fire continued to smolder. Mrs. Burt showed real enterprise and expert skill with her camera in rapturing these dramatic scenes on color film when the disastrous fire was at its zenith. Many other local amateur photographers took good pictures of the fire, aided by the sun setting in the west to provide the right amount of light, of one of Pierceton’s worst fires in many years.

chemicals, paints and baler twine lost in the blaze, in addition to many other products, can not be decided until later. The present owner has owned the mill for nine years in February of 1968. and prior to that time was employed in the McCarter Mill (same building) for Harold Glass, manager. The McCarters obtained possession of the mill in the late 30s. later selling to Shank. While the mill was of wood structure it was also covered with tin. Second Fire Fire departments from Larwill, Wayne township, Warsaw and Winona Lake joined Pierceton firemen in attempting to bring the blaze under control, to do avail.

The North Webster fire department stayed on “Stand-by alert’’ for Pierceton during the disastrous fire and were called upon to put out a fire at the former Robert O’Connell farm, where a partly torn down bam was on fire. This was on the Barbee lake road, one mile north of old road 30. This was at about 8 p.m. Harry Shank said everything was in order when he closed the mill a few minutes after six that night, as he had loaded the last wheat at 6:10. He checked to make sure there were no hot motors and pulled the main power switch, as usual and went home. He had just started to eat supper when Mrs. Ed Schultz telephoned and told him of the fire. Tlie fire was actually detected by Max Lenwell and his employee, Bill Lehman, who were at the Mack’s Bulk plant north erf the mill. For some time during the evening and night concern was felt over the possibility of sparks lighting on the bulk plant. Luckily, while many were seen to blow that way, no further damage was done. Hames were seen by Mrs. Robert Steiner, wife of an employee of six years standing at the mill, and Mrs. Schultz saw flames come from the j conduit at the southedge of the building. Shank was pleased that firemen were at least able to save his small safe which was in the office. Many. ; but not all, of the records of the j mill were in this safe. Firemen ’ saved this by using pike poles to pull the west side of the building I out and reach them, A larger safe which had been in the building for many years, fell into die basement. It contains many records. One book slipped through ! the scales and has not been able to jbe reached yet. As soon as the ' budding cools a new weigh beam will be necessary for the scales. Firemen predicted it may be the end of the week before the ruins have cooled enough for inspection. Shank said his plansare indefinite now. Most of the wheat w*as saved as it was in the storage nest of a 46 x 50 foot metal building used for storage. It was in this building that Shank set up a temporary office Friday morning, and is continuing to do business from this location, direct|ly west of the office. The building was built two and one-half years ago, and as it was used for storage, has had to be completely wired and i reads* for the general activities of ' a mill. | (Late Saturday afternoon the fire , w histle sounded again as it was feared tiie fire, or smoldering debris [was getting too hot for the silo of wheat. Firemen,wet the silo down good and returned to the station within the hour.) Shank said he did not believe this j fire could have been started in any way other than through the conduit the women saw sparks shooting out of. Some fires in the area recently have been believed possibly to be the work of an arsonist, but is not believed to be the case in this instance. Shank will announce later if he ! will rebuild. The mill was originally built by the railroad due to grain etc., having to be filled by i gravity flow, therefore the mill had to be higher than the box cars. Pierceton Budget Remains Same The proposed budget for the town erf Pierceton for 1968 remains at the rate of SI.BO per hundred, the same as the rate for last year. The amount to be raised in 1967 is $27.564.50. The amount to be collected in 1967 of $27,747.88 is noticeably under the amounts of 1964. 1965 and 1967. (See notice to taxpayers, this ■ issue). Clerk-treasurer Coraethel Bruce j said the amount of SI.BO is the ai mount the state tax commissioners cut the town budget to last year, as--1 ter the town board had requested a rate of $2.04. This cut, she said was made after the tax commissioners commended her for having a ‘‘good tight budget’’. The June disbursement (see line 7 in legal advertisement) did not arrive until mid-July, thus the amount

Summer Dress In Indiana Lake Areas Differ Widely

By FRANK A. WHITE Summer visitors in northeastern Indiana see .Amish men wearing full beards,, broad brimmed hats and women clad in ankle length dresses and bonnets. Where possible they travel by horse and buggy on dirt roads or on berm of paved highways. Indiana and USA have 40.000 Amish making a last stand against being tossed into America’s educational melting pot. • The American Civil Liberties Union appealed to the US Supreme court as $5 fine on Leroy Gaber. of Yoder, Kans., who refused to send his 15-year-old daughter Sharon to school. lowa has a new law exempting Amish from state school law and providing testing of Amish schools by examination of children. Amish cling to a biblical quotation "Be not conformed to the ; world.’’ They hold an eighth grade I schooling is sufficient. Edward Murphy. Notre Dame law processor said the crucial issue is whether parents or the state be recognized as primary educators of children. Others disagree. For a closeup of the Amish pro- ; blem Paul M. Riddick, retired LaGrange publisher, a founder of Sigman Delta Chi honorary* journalism j fraternity, who spends half time in I Indiana and the rest in Florida wrete the following for Hoosier Day. “The state-wide publicity given near agreement between state superintendent Richard D. Wells and a committee representing the Amish on Amish public schools gives occasion for a report from LaGrange county, on the Michigan lines. It has the largest number of .Amish schools of any county in Indiana. The statement mentions ‘agreement’ but there is not 100 per cent agreement among Amish people of this county. Terms of segregation and integration usually are applied to the Negro-White problem. They could apply somewhat to parochial schools. I The segregation group, the older ; and more conservative Amish,

Wednesday, August 9, 1967

wish to maintain solidarity of the Amish group by keeping the new generation as far as possible behind barriers so they will not become infected by ways of worldly people. Therefore they would keep the children apart where they would not be tempted by the dress. “Until recently, public one-room schools were maintained in the eastern half of the county, in which all, or most, of the pupils were Amish children. These were quite satisfactory to Amish parents who only sought a very* rudimentary education for their children, which would permit them to live simple lives. Quite recently state orders closed the one-room schools and small Anush schools began to appear throughout the region. “There are now about 10 such schools in the county. The teachers have generally been young Amish girls of 17 to 19e.years of age who have not gone farther in school than the eighth grade. The conservative group will look with favor on an agreement to permit Amish paI rochial schools to continue though i there may be some unhappiness on ! requirements for qualification of teachers, curricula, and inspeci tions. Quite surely there will be tightening down on the practice in some of the Amish schools for ; counting a 15-year-old as fulfilling ■ attendance requirement of the law, if he or die spends certain periods .at “vocational” training in field or ’ kitchen. “More liberal Amish parents fabout half l , the integrationists. want their children to have proper education and fall in with modern educational programs without protest. Quite a number of Amish boys now attend larger schools, but few after age 16. “Present day agriculture makes it increasingly hard for the farmer on a moderate sized farm, tilled by horse and hand methods. Some 600 LaGrange county Amish men work in factories. Time alone will tell what educational and vocational pursuits come to the Amish community.
