\f r /*7"/Ak Jit <* - z Our attention has been called to the widespread confusion regarding the forthcoming election of members to the Lakeland school board on November 5. First, there are three candidates seeking a place on the board, insumbents Jerry Helvey and Charles Purdum, Jr., and Kenneth Haney. Helvey is from district 1 (Tippecanoe township), and Purdum and Haney are from district 3 (Van Buren township and the east half of Jefferson township). All three will be voted on by the entire electorate of the school corporation. They are each running for a seat on the board and not running against one another. The law reads, each district within the school corporation is to have one member on the board, but not more than two. In short, Purdum and Helvey could be re-elected, leaving the board the same as it is at the present time. Or Purdum and Haney could be elected, providing they have the larger number of votes on November 5, and Helvey could be defeated. This would give district 3 two board members and district 1 with one member (Floyd Baker). District 2 (Turkey Creek township) has two members—Charles W. Kroh and Dr. Robert Craig — neither of whom are up for re-elec-tion. The voter need only remember that he is to vote for two — — only two—candidates for the Lakeland school board. He could vote for one and his ballot would be valid, but if he should vote for all three candidates, his ballot would be void. There are objections to the fact that the entire school corporation electorate votes for board members who represent a particular district, but, simply, this is the way the law reads regarding election procedures. County commissioners are similarly elected by the entire county population, while they represent a particular district in the county. ♦ * * Dennie Conley’s two service stations in Warsaw raised $836.69 for the Cardinal Learning Center in Warsaw a week ago Saturday

They gave $787.69 from gas receipts, a S4O donation from their supplier, the Fort Meyers Oil Co. of Fort Wayne, and $9 an customer donations. A total of 12 Lions, 16 Rctarians, 10 Kiwannians and four chamber of commerce members helped at the stations that day. On Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Tastee Freez Drive-In at 1043 E. Winona Ave., in Warsaw, is donating the day’s receipts to the center’s building fund. > « * * Earl Money arrived home from a western hunting trip last Thursday p.m., sporting a heavy growth of beard.

Seems they visited the Centreville (Mich.) fair recently, but someone entered their names for the Florida trip as “Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Coy of Syracuse”. Funny thing they won and their friends are making a big ado about it all. One “pal”, barber Jen Bushong, offered them his camper for the trip. $ * Old Soldier Seth Ward is happy about the way things turned out.

A big congratulations goes to chairman of the senior sponsors at Wawasee high Bob Kitson, who was in charge of the Saturday night football homecoming. A real expert job, Bob: Good floats, good timing, good spirit. While football cheerleaders showed apparent boundless energy, spectator response wasn’t what it ought to be, students and adults alike. Guess they’ll have to mimeograph the cheers and hand out ... or something. Portly John VanLue won the homecoming football, with proceeds going to the senior class. * * * All of which makes us think, if you have trouble telling the difference between two able Wawasee teachers, Bill and Bob Kitson, never mind, so do others. They are twins.

Homecoming judge Mrs. Harold Gaskill of North Webster knows Bill well since he was a North Webster teacher in recent years. Before the parade Saturday night Bob walked up to Mrs. Gaskill, stating, “I presume you are Mrs. Gaskill?” “Why, yes”, die said in amazement, until she was told, "This is Bob, Bill’s twin brother. Bob teachers physical science and chemistry and Bill teaches algebra, applied science and chemistry. * * ♦ Ralph and Mary Lee Clingaman, always good for a joke, posted a regulation mail box on a telephone pole in front of their Lake Wawasee home.

He is Edwin Leitch, 15, a sophomore in Wawasee high school. Edwin is five feet, two inches tall, medium built, 130 pounds, dark medium long hair and wearing a World War II army jacket with sergeant strips. His address is r 1 Syracuse.

Postal Rates To Be Increased Saturday, Oct. 19 Area postmasters are reminding postal customers today that higher parcel post and catalog rates will go into effect Saturday, Oct. 19. The rate increase will average 10.5 per cent and in most cases will mean an additional 10 cents postage per parcel. The higher rates were approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission in July. Under the new rates the minimum charge for local parcel delivery will go from 40 to 50 cents. The minimum charge for parcels destined outside the local delivery area will be raised from 50 cents to 60 cents. Almost all parcels that are charged up to sl.lO under present rates will go up 10 cents. This accounts for more than 80 per cent of all parcel post, post~ masters pointed out. There will be a 15-cent hike on most parcels now charged between sl.lO and $4, and a 20-cent increase on parcels now charged over $4. Parcel post rates are based on the weight of the package and the distance it is mailed. Higher rates for the delivery of packages and catalogs are required to bring revenue from this type of mail within four per cent of operating costs, as required by law, the postmasters explained. The higher rates are designed to put parcels and catalogs, which are fourth class mail, on a breakeven basis. Additional revenue is needed from parcel post and catalogs to off - set higher costs resulting from pay increases approved last year for postal employees. FALL FISHING IS GOOD Fall fishing in Indiana is quite good, according to field staff reports from Department of Natural Resources personnel. But fishermen are cautioned that waterfowl refuges at state fish and game areas and reservoirs are closed to all entry from October 1, 1968, to April 15, 1969. k Anyone trespassing on these refuges during this time is subject to a fine of up to S3OO and possible imprisonment.

Lakeland Youth Seriously Injured In Elkhart County Accident On Birthday

Benjamin W. Liniger, r 2 Syracuse was seriously injured in a one car accident near the town of Benton at 8:35 p.m. Sunday. It was his 17th birthday. He is the son of Mrs. Mary Liniger, owner and operator of the Old Hickory at Milford. According to eye-witness Melvin Elliott of Goshen, who was following Liniger’s auto at the time of the accident, Liniger’s auto was stopped on the traveled portion of US 33 in Benton until a second car passed and sounded his horn. The accident victim then started his car and proceded out of Benton turning right and heading south on Indiana 313. Elliott said the Liniger car had accelerated to 60 to 65 miles per hour when it left the right side of the pavement, skidded across the pavement and crashed into a tree. Liniger suffered a depressed skull fracture, laceration and other injuries. He was taken to the Goshen hospital and later transferred to South Bend Memorial. His 1961 Chevrolet, valued at S6OO, was a total loss. Straight Road The highway where the accident occurred was straight and level. After traveling 340 feet along the berm, Liniger’s vehicle careened across the pavement for 73 feet to the east side of the highway and crashed head on into a tree. The car then hit a second tree before coming to a stop in a field about 30 feet from the road. “I have faith in our people. I think they — and not 50 groups of nameless, faceless electors — should choose the President.”
