VOLUME 5

a S4®ot / This area is loaded with sports fans, and there’s a coming event in the Lakeland community that will delight the' young athletic hearts. Jesse Owens, famed former Olympic champion runner, will appear at Epworth Forest, near North Webster, at a youth rally at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. In case you have forgotten, Owens, as an Ohio State University student, was America’s champion runner at the Olympics at Berlin, Germany, in 1933. When he walked away with all honors, Adolph Hitler left the Sportzplatz rather than shake hands with the young American Negro athlete. If you have an interest in sports, you’ll want to hear what Owens has to say to the young people. Syracuse, Methodist minister, Rev, August Lundqipst, will tell you more on this. According to a Warsaw GOP pusher, Bob Kesler, Kosciusko county has failed to come up with much money in support of the candidacy of Kosciusko county’s third district congressional candidate Will Erwin of Etna Green. He lays most of the blame at the doorstep of county GOP chairman Giles Hoffer, who is also h Warsaw teacher. Edwin, in spite of this, is waging an all-out publicity campaign to unseat articulate incumbent

John Brademas of South Bend. In Sunday’s South Bend Tribune, two years ago a Brademas backer, Erwin carried an eight-page color supplement which was the product of a New York advertising agency and was very well done. This would indicate Erwin has picked up some financial backing, even though his dollar lag in Kosciusko county is apparent. * * After what appeared to be an impending legal battle, Lake Wawasee’s Seth Ward decidied to sell an Indianapolis tract of land to Indiana university so they would proceed with the construction of a set of buildings that would eventually house the new I. U. law school. It was apparent Ward held the° key tract of real estate, and I. U.’s deposed prexy Elvis Starr had initiated eminent domain proceedings with Governor Roger Branigin to gain possession of the valued parcel. Ward’s comment: “When those I. U. trustees sired me, it was just like an old fire horse hearing the bell again! They added 10 years to my life.” Results: Ward sold the land for an indisclosed sum. Say you saw it here first. We’re talking about the possibility of a Little Theater for the Lakeland area. Areas smaller than we have have successfully put together little theater programs that are a credit to the cultural side of their communities. Well, we’re saying, why can’t we do it here? There’s an abundance of talent here, and more would come out of the woodwork if the idea ever took root. Our easy choice to lead such a program would be personable and talented Maggie Smith, wife of Merl of the house of Smith-

Walbridge. We will soon, have a new high school auditorium in which to stage such plays. If you like the idea, talk to Maggie about it and let’s see if it has any possibilities. Ss # « Here’s one we thought was good. A Bluffton resident and subscriber of Roger Swain’s fine Bluffton newspaper was put out when Roger raised the weekly rates (or six issues) to 50c. Roger always said his paper was worth the price of a ham sandwich and a cup of coffee for the full six issues each week. The subscriber said, “Why I can get the Fort Wayne paper for less than Roger wants and get a Sunday to boot”. When a suggested he stop Roger’s paper and just take the Fort Wayne paper, he returned, “Then I won’t know what’s going on in Bluffton”. %. * *.

The reason: Long, continued hot weather. Mrs. E. W. (Dorothy) Frauhiger, a new member of the Kale Island jet set, returned on Sunday, Sept. 1, from a twoweek trip to Hawaii, and is busy telling the girls of the round table about it. She made the trip with an Indiana Elks tour and had as her companion a longtime friend, Doris McCulley of Elkhart.

Farmers Warned To Certify ASC Ballot-Envelopes Farmers were reminded today of a very important part of the election process for Agricultural Stabilization* and Conservation (ASC) community committeemen, especially where ballots are mailed in to the ASCS county office. In Kosciusko county, the deadline for returning ballots in the community elections is September 17, 1968. Scott, Horn, chairman, ASC county committee, points out that two envelopes have been mailed with the ballots sent to all eligible voters of record in the county office. One envelope is plain, and the other has a statement printed on the back which the farmer needs to sign. A witnessed mark will also qualify as a signature. The ballpt should be marked and sealed inside the plain envoters are cautioned not to enclose any other material. Also, voters should not write on the plain envelope. This assures the secrecy of the vote. The plain envelope should then be put inside the envelope with the statement on the back. This statement is a certification that the ballot was marked by the farmer personally without undue influence by any person. The envelope should then be mailed or otherwise delivered to the ASCS county office. “Be sure to sign this statement on the back of the outside envelope,” the chairman urges. “If it is not signed, the ballot will not be considered as a vote.” OSCAR GRAFFS ENTERTAIN Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Graff of r 1 Milford had the following guests for supper on Sunday: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kaiser, Mr. and Mrs. Steven Kaiser and Miss Edith Baumgartner, all of Milford.
