Writer Frank White Back On The Job

(Editor’s Note: The Hoosier Day, by eminent Hoosier writer Frank A. White, was suspended January 3 due to the illness and hospitalization of the author. It is being resumed in The MailJournal with this issue-and receives a healthy assist from his son Donald D. White.) NOW FOR THE big news. The Hoosier Day became a family affair in some ways. My son, Donald D., will assist me full time. His son, Don, Jr., .is to keep us informed as to the youthful viewpoint and contribute. This is a typewriter portrait of my son, Donald, who will devote full time assisting in writing the column. He rushed off to war in World War II before graduation from Indiana university. Returning, he earned his A. B. degree. Via R. 0. T. C. and Fort Benning, Ga., officer candidate school, he gained the rank of Ist Lieutenant. He served with the famous 45th (Thunderbird) Diti- ’ sion in fierce mountain combat in Italy and was wounded near Cassino. He was retired from service in 1945 due to his wounds. Don at heart is a very kindly person. Recuperating from wounds at Fort Harrison upon return from overseas, he organized education and ' receration programs among patients. Especially he started and edited a hospital newspaper. This, during eighteen months of his convalescence and surgery resulted in his being awarded the Army Commendation Ribbon. He holds also the Purple Heart, Bronze Star and Combat Infantry Badge. In emerging years, he has crammed in a lot of experience in business, public relations, promotion, and law. Feeling that continuing education is good background for any field of endeavor, he attends law school at nights, somewhat as a hobby. Returning from war he saw an opportunity to serve others as administrative assistant to the National Adjutant of the American Legion, a 2% irillion members organization. It has national headquarters in Indiana. He was not interested in Legion politics, but chose to engage in organizing Legion posts in college, over the USA and supervising band, drum and bugle corps, drill teams and other national convention contests. He became assistant National ' Emblem Director and as such supervised 30 employes, doubling the volume of sales, making it a $2 million dollar annual business. At the same time he formed and served as president of the Employes Credit Union, got an education in public relations and wrtiing copy for the national Legion News Bureau. This writing training w&s under guidance of a former International News Service

Bureau Manager. As an extra-curricular activity, Don established the Indiana Hobby Show, biggest in the nation and did additional promotion of shows. He had gone as far as he could in the National Legion. He has visited repeatedly all states and has a host of friends. His job was no longer a challenge and he joins in reporting and writing of Hoosier Day with enthusiasm. Don and his family live across the drive in our little ranch and woodland. He, and his wife Patricia, are parents of four sons and a daughter (deceased.) Don, Jr., mentioned later in this column, a son, has completed a 3year enlistment, 13 months of it in Korea. Next in line, Richard is in hard combat as a SP4 serving as a military advisor to the South Vietnamese forces "as a member of Mac V Team 44. Other children are David, 10, and Douglas, 5. Don, Sr., loves the out of doors, is a family man. member of Marion County Draft Board 233, a 25 year member of Broad Ripple American Legion Post 312, made up largely of businessmen, of 40 et 8, Capital City Masonic Lodge No. 312, and Northminster Presbyterian church. Now for Don, Jr., who will help us. He completed 2Vs years at Ball State to enlisting in the U. S. 'Army. He returned from 13 months in Korea to enroll in the top, blue ribbon army journalism school at Fort Benjamin Harrison. He was selected to edit the DINFO army journalism schbol that, gives an equivalent to 30 hours of college training in newspapering. Don, Jr., attained the rank of Staff Sergeant before being discharged, June 20. He is married to Phyllis, and they have one son 2¥a years old. The foregoing is a on makeup of our new Hoosier Day reporting team. By the addition to my effort, we will do more research, travel where stories erupt, and more use of our tape recorders for interviews. Roy Wheeler Graduates DENVER — Airman Roy E. Wheeler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman D. Wheeler, r 3 Warsaw, has graduated from a US air force technical school at Lowry AFB, Colo. He was trained as a supply inventory specialist.

Did you know that 70% of the Real Estate and Personal Property taxes in Kosciusko County are paid by Business and Industry? So, business and industry will be paying 70% (1,400,000) of the $2,000,000 Hospital Bond Issue recently approved by County officials. That leaves only 30% ($600,000) to be paid by individual taxpayers! Andther $1,000,000 of the construction costs will be provided by a Hill-Burton grant, returning to this county some of the income taxes we have all been paying to the federal government. Lock at it this way: ANTICIPATED HOSPITAL COST — $3,500,000 VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS $500,000 — 14.2'/, HILL BURTON FUNDS $1,000,000 — 28.5'/ BOND ISSUE — BUSINESS & INDUSTRY $1,400,000 — 40.0'/ OTHER TAXPAYERS $600,000 — 17.1'/ Only 17c out of each SI.OO for the hospital bond, issue will come from individual taxpayer’s pockets. State laws prohibit the new hospital from requesting or using funds from State, County or local taxes for operating expenses. Therefore, it will never become a burden on the county tax rolls in the future. The Kosciusko Community Hospital, Inc., is a legally authorized not-for-profit corporation with full approval from the Internal Revenue Service. It is the only hospital organization presently authorized by the Indiana State Board of Health to build a new hospital in this county!

Authorities recognized as competent by all medical and health groups have stated a minimum need for I 50 hospital beds in Kosciusko County by 1975. The new hospital will not be ready for occupancy before 1973. Total beds in the new hospital in addition to beds in existing facilities will not exceed the minimum number recommended for 1975.

There will be sufficient need for the utilization of both facilities in the total health care requirements of the citizens of the County.
