Peace Group Sends Telegram To Pres. Nixon An Elkhart county peace group known as the TRAIN committee, urging “Peace Through Victory,” sent a telegram to President Nixon on Tuesday as an anti - moratorium move urging a fight against communism at home and abroad. The Goshen - Elkhart move has the strong support of the Elkhart County John |Birch Society. The telegram is as follows: Dear Mister President, As an alternative to the October 15, 1969, moratorium, we the undersigned respectfully request that you follow a policy of victory rather than surrender in Viet Nam. We agree with your public statement of August 1964 in which you said “we must win this war We also agree with your statement as a candidate in February, 1968, in which you said “that the United States should adopt a new policy of no-trade and no-credit for any country dealing with North Viet Nam,” because you stated “Soviet Russia and its satellites were supplying 85 per cent of all the sophisticated material used in the war against us.” We believe that we should not have been in Viet Nam in the first place. But now that we are so deeply involved, the quickest and easiest way to get out, and the only honorable way, is to go ahead and win the war conclusively, set up a truly anticommunist government in Saigon and then withdraw. All our ablest military men have told us repeatedly that we could win it in three months or less, if our fighting forces were allowed by Washington to do so. We urge you to use your still great popularity and tremendous influence to see that these wishes are promptly and fully carried out. The Goshen Area TRAIN Committee Albion Woman Killed In New Paris An Albion woman, 72-year-old-Mrs. Hattie Targgart, was killed at 6:40 a.m. today (Wednesday) when she walked across state road 15 in New Paris into the path of an oncoming car.

facts about $ ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Meet the Potter family! The photo above shows Dr. Everett Potter, Mrs. Potter, and their two children, Mary Helen and Wallace, in the yard of the family home. The family lived in what is now the Free Hollar home on Main street in Our Town. Mary Helen married Owen Lentz. Dr. Potter was a half-brother to the late Maude L. McLaughlin. Does anyone have any additional information on the family? * * * Thus far we’ve stm not heard from anyone on the photo that was in last week’s column. Could it be that no one knows who the girls are? * ❖ * Miss Martha Groves writes from Goshen that she read the account in Our Town of Mr. Me Intyre, but failed to see anything about Mrs. Mclntyre. We did mention that she gave music lessons but that is all we knew about her. Miss Groves states Mrs. Me Intyre was a piano teacher and was considered “quite a musician in that day. She also directed plays in the old opera house.” Mrs. Edith Sharp and Miss Groves were in some of the plays. The opera house was the building on Main street now owned by the H and H Machine Shop. * * * We received a card in the mail recently that read as follows: “The setting for ‘Girl of the Limberlost’ was Sylvan Lake, Rome City, Ind.” It was signed a reader. Several weeks ago we quoted a letter as saying that Waubee lake was the setting. Looks like we need to go to the library and do our homework! * * ♦ The weatherman is having a problem again trying to decide whether it should be cold or warm around here! One day is warm and the next day is cold . . . very confusing! » We received a heavy frost last night. One weatherman even predicted snow! Many of the trees are still green and seem to be waiting for Indian Summer before changing to the many colors of autumn. ♦ ♦ ♦ Cecil’s have closed their canning plant for another season and many of the migrant workers have left town. They will return again in the fall for next year’s pack. Debbie Wolferman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Don Wolferman and a senior at Wawasee high school, is a contestant in the 1969 junior miss contest set for Warsaw later in the month.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin Our Travel Map continues to be of interest to our patrons. We received a card recently from Noble Holderread, who is vacationing in Honolulu, Hawaii. * ♦ ♦ We are adding a new department upstairs, which should be of special interest to teenagers, that of loaning phonograph Not only the popular music, but classical recordings will be availably. They may be borrowed for a period of two weeks, with a two weeks’ renewal privilege. Fines will be same per day per record as for books. We have been pleased with the gifts of books given recently, and the interest several individuals and organizations have shown in desiring to provide books or equipment for the children’s room. If you haven’t visited this room, we invite you to do so. Mrs. Anne Watts and her third grade class visited the library last week and heard a story “Mousekin’s House” told by Mrs. Kesler, and information concerning the arrangement of books, rules of the library and how to obtain a library card. Several new children in the community received their library cards. Mbnarch Industries, Inc. Score sth Increase MIDDLEBURY — Scoring the fifth increase in a row, Monarch Industries, Inc., in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1969, achieved alltime high sales. This was reported by Donald L. Hart, president of the mobile home manufacturer. The company’s fiscal 1969 net jales amounted to $34,057,000 compared with sales of $19,637,000 attained a year earlier. Income before taxes rose to $849,000 from $835,000 a year ago. Net income after all charges and taxes was $402,000, or 41 cents a share against net income of $417,000 or 60 cents a share achieved the year before. Last year’s per share earnings are calculated on 989,000 average number of shares, compared with 700,000 shares the year before. The number of shares outstanding was increased on June 6, 1968, through the public marketing of 200,000 company shares, adjusted for the two-for-one split effected late in that month. An additional 99,960 shares were issued in October, 1969, in connection with a corporate acquisition, and shares also during fiscal 1969 through the exercise of options. Unusual price fluctuations sharply inflated the company’s raw material costs, Mr. Hart said. Plant start-up costs were also incurred, along with those of bringing on line a new data processing system. “These unusual costs are largely behind us,” he said, “and we look for improving margin.' henceforth.” Monarch Industries, Inc., whos< common stock is traded in the o ver-the-counter market, is a leading builder of mobile homes in different price ranges as well as a prominent manufacturer of hig i quality kitchen cabinet modules and school equipment.
