Ola was vacationing in the Sunshine state and from the sound of the postcards she sent back to Indiana, must have had a very nice time- $ ❖ ❖ We’ve received word that a bill has been introduced in the state legislature which would eliminate the publication of claims for funds in the county commissioners’ court each month. Said bill has been referred to the county and township business committee of which representative Ralph R=. Heine is chairman. Mr. Heine took a voluntary poll via the newspapers in Whitley county recently and of the first 100 returns, 98 replied that they “almost always” read the claims, two replied they “never” read, them- s' Well give you a chance to answer me question. Just check one and .mail it back to us: 1. I nearly always read the commissioners’ claims. They are published monthly. 2 I seldom read the claims. 3 I never read the claims. We’d like your remarks too if you have anything to add. The bossman and Mrs. B. are off on a two weeks’ vacation trip to the Hawaiian Islands. While • they are away the rest of us are holding down the M-J office with the assistance of one-time M-J gal Mrs. Richard (Betty) Smith. We hope they enjoy their vacation, but do wish I could have sneeked into one of their suitcases! Trustee and Mrs. John Davidsen spent the week end in Detroit with their daughter, Mrs. William (Ellen) Monahan. Ellen is a patient in the Sea View hospital, room 133, Trenton, Mich. Police chief Don Drake reports he has recovered one of the fish-

ing poles taken from the Paul Ruch home last fall. ♦ » ♦ Speaking of the police department, we just finished reading an article in the February “FBI * Law Enforcement Bulletin” that has us a little enraged. In short the article told of Halloween being of concern to many parents in a mid-western city who found fishhooks attached to popcorn balls, candy treated with laxatives and apples containing razor blades in their youngsters treats last Halloween. Fortunately these hazards were discovered before any harm was done and the culprits were identified and prosecuted. It really, makes you stop and think. It also makes us thankful of the community we live in. No one in Our Town would do anything that mean. Jack Underwood To M. C.
