OF I y \ ’ kJ|Fa 11 Announcement Os 1969 Indiana Easter Seal Child Today, Brenda Jane Wolf, just past her sixth birthday, walked through the parallel bars at Delaware county’s Isanogel Easter Seal center to show all Hoosiers why she was picked as the living symbol of hope brought by Easter Seals to over 15,000 crippled children in Indiana. The Isanogel pre-school student of Muncie, has been chosen 1969 Indiana Easter Seal Child, it was announced by the Indianapolis Women’s Civic club, Mrs. Vaughn E. Houston, project chairman. The club annually handles the selection for the Indiana Easter Seal societies for crippled children and adults. Brenda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Wolf, was selected from entries submitted by county Easter Seal chapters throughout the state. The Indiana Easter Seal campaign will be conducted from February 22 to April 6, Easter Sundav, in conjunction jwith the annual nation - wide drive. “Brenda's physical disability is cerebral palsy. She is an outstanding example of how a physically handicapped child can lead a well rounded life through a specialized school program and cooperative home environment, it was proudly exclaimed by William H. Hickman, executive director of the Delaware County Society for the Crippled, a local affiliate of the state organization. Mr. [ Hickman continued, “This is a great honor for Brenda, and we feel particularly gratified that Mr. and Mrs. .Wolf want to support the general program that has helped their child.” During the coming months will travel the 92 counties of the Hoosier state in many Easter Seal activities representing the handicapped. Brenda’s father is assistant cashier at Industrial Trust and Savings Bank in Muncie, and her mother is a teacher at Emerson elementary school. Her brother, Bruce, age 11. and sister, Cindy, age 9. are close playmates. According to Mrs. Wolf, Brenda

doesn’t receive any special favors from other members of the family merely because of her physical handicap, which is weakness in her legs. She has been ambulatory by pushing a small chair in front of her. With gradual improvement, her latest achievement is to take a few steps. She looks forward to even greater independence, as he graphically shows the entire state how their contributions to Easter Seals can aid in helping thcusands of other Hoosier youngsters like herself. Contributions made during the annual appeal are the major source of financing Easter Seap facilities and programs. John Naab To Present Milford PTO Program The February meeting of the Milford Parent-Teachers Organization will be held in the elementary school building on Tuesday, Feb. 11, at 7:45 p.m. The meeting will beg’n with a short business session. Several important matters will be brought to the attention of the parents. These matters, according to the organization’s officers, should interest every Milford parent. Following the business meeting, John A. Naab, curriculum co-or-dinator for the Lakeland Community School Corporation will be presenting the program. Mr. Naab. will be talking about the area vocational program at the new Wawasee high school. Refreshments will be served by the hospitality committee which for that night will consist of Mrs. Ralph Miller, Mrs. Jack McCormick and Mrs. Elmer Rapp. DELBERT DIPPONS RETURN FROM FLORIDA Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Dippon of r 2 Milford returned on Monday morning from a two-week vacation in Florida.

HOTICE KOSCIUSKO COUNTY TAXPAYERS Dyersville, lowa, population 3300, built a 69 bed hospital without federal or state funds. They had three doctors who left because they had no hospital to work in. A group of young volunteers got together and in a radius of 15 miles raised $900,000.00. Farmers contributed machinery, produce, antiques and what have you. Every one contributed in his own way. In a few weeks they will open their new hc:pital. Now on the ciher side of the coin. Portland, Indiana, has a County Hospital. In three years the operating expenses have jumped from $228,605 in 1965 to $894,518 in 1967. The state board of accounts criticized them for poorly kept accounts, many parties for staff members and workers trips and other irregularities. a Now a few questions. In our last election with a partial slate of candidates to vote for, it cost us 65 cents per vote. In Allen County with a full slate, it cost them about 5 cents. Why? If there is such a need for another hospital, why couldn’t we have had it on the ballot or a private vote trough our Township Trustees and settled it in a community way? And why, when the petitions pro and con were out, only the pro’s were made known?. And when Murphy Hospital had open house, why weren’t we given the number of people attending? Arid why was Mrs. Murphy given only thirty days in which to accept or a tax free hospital will be built with taxpayers’ money? Do you want your tax money used this way? This ad paid for by citizens for fair play. WILLIAM FOREMAN, Chrm., Warsaw WILMA SPICE, Sec’y., Warsaw FRED E. STOOKEY LEORA STOOKEY GEORGE W. LEHMAN

’chizinJCW AROUND / Wow, what a game! That’s about the only way one could adequately describe the Wawasee-Pierceton game at Wawasee high school. The match, as most everyone knows, was the first game in the sparkling new gym. Vice principal Donn Kesler said a fair estimate was that there were 1,800 in attendance. The gym seats 3,400. Both games were real thrillers, with the “B” team game being a double overtime and the main event going to the host Warriors by a 1-point margin. “You can’t get a much more exciting game than a double overtime,” one fan was heard to say after the first game, but the enthusiasm that attended the main event almost proved it a false statement. The Cubs were out to defeat Wawasee, of this you could be sure, for the old rivalries of the Cubs against Syracuse, Milford and North Webster are long standing ones. A Syracuse fan left the gym muttering, “When we were just Syracuse we could beat Pierceton, and now that we have Milford and North Webster we can’t hardly get the job done.” Oh, well. It was a real fun evening, anyway. Elmer and Agnes Smith of Lake Wawasee are owners of the new Golfomat at 1,000 Rowe street in the Elkhart Industrial Park which had its formal showing on January 20.

Bette reports “doing just fine” at her new job. * * * Kale Island resident Iva (“Pete”) Heckaman, long a Nappanee businessman who recently sold his Phoenix travel trailer firm at Nappanee to an English firm, Caravans, International, is on a project in Nappanee.

In the main, two-story building will be a beauty salon with 10 operators (beauty operators), that is), and to the west are three office buildings. Then on

the vacant lot on the west of this, which has been a used car sales area, he will build a large apartment building. ♦ * Look for Doug and Mary Ann Merrill to make a big success of The Maryann, formerly Shelly’s Drive-In, in Wawasee Village.

and other Far East points of interest. They left December 14, and Faye got, of all things, the Hong Kong flu in Seattle at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. King Eng, and was bedfast nearly two weeks. Coming home, they left Hong Kong at 9 a.m. Saturday and got home at 5:30 p.m. the same day. Figure that out! They crossed the International Date Line in the Pacific, thereby gaining a day. Faye says their trip home was 22 hours on jet, going from Hong Kong, to Tokyo, to San Francisco, where it took three hours to clear customs, then to Chicago and South Bend. Foo and Faye do it like most of us would like to do it. Harry VanHemert is reported to have stomped out of a coun-ty-wide GOP meeting last week, in disgust over their handling of patronage.
