tajziNjahS AROUND • / As the November 3d election approaches, voting for Lakeland school board appears to be the most confusing ballot voters will have to grapple with. We offer this bit of information as a guide. The Lakeland school corporation is made up of three districts, as follows: District L comprised of Tippecanoe township; District 11. Turkey Creek township; and District HI. Van Buren and the east half of Jefferson township. Each district is to have at least one member on the school board, but not more than two. District 1 has Jerry Helvey as an incumbent board member and Floyd Baker as a candidate for re-election. District 11 has Dr. Robert Craig as an incumbent and John Kroh. William Brammer and Gareth Meek as candidates. District 111 has Billie Little as an incumbent and no candidates. Inasmuch as District 111 will have only one member on the board, therefore, each of the other two districts must have at least two members, to make up the five-member board Floyd Baker, then, becomes a member by default. The real race appears to be in District 11, where candidates will be asked to vote for two candidates, from a field of four. Voters will be asked on their school board ballot to vote for one candidate in District I and two candidates in District 11. A possible legal tangle arises then, should a voter fail to cast a vote in District I and votes for three candidates in District 11. Will his ballot be counted? No one appears ready to answer this, but a legal opinion should be ready by vote-counting time on the night of Nov. 3. or the Lakeland school election could become a muddle with an uncertain outcome until a ruling'is handed down. With Helvey and Little not being candidates for re-election, some voters will think they can vote for any three candidates on the ballot to fill the three positions. This is not true. Good advise is to follow the instructions on the ballot and vote for one in District I and vote for two in District 11. Got it? Does anyone have a picture of a Magnolia Tree? Mrs. R. C. Tytler says the Business and Professional Women are in need of a picture for the front of a book being compiled by the local club. A drive around the countryside, especially the Tri-County state and game area and Hoss Hills, proves fall is here and the array of colors is fascinating. The newly surfaced road along north shore of Lake Wawasee is an improvement. Vote for WILLIAM BRAMMER, a conservative candidate for the local School Board, who believes we do not need this increase in the cumulative building fund tax. We have jnst completed enough class rooms for 15M students, and our increase to date has not been 300 students. Why should we be taxed for something we do not need now. Vote for WILLIAM BRAMMER for the School Board. ADV. Paid For By William Brammer, Syracuse.

NORTH Bon-Bon is home! The little miniature white poodle at the home of Lois Torrence in Syracuse was captured shortly after noon Monday after being missing for two-weeks. The dog slipped its collar and escaped from its pursuers several weeks ago and the first lead of its whereabouts came early Monday morning from Mrs. Nancy Pratt. She reported a small dog answering the description as advertised in The Mail-Journal was in her float boat on Front street and thatafter feeding it a few bites of meat, it was frightened and slipped from her. The dog was finally caught in the vicinity of the railroad tracks in;W southwest section of town with the aid of Dan Dust. Mrs. Richard Bell, Mrs. Wallace Huffer. Mrs. Torrence and a large number of railroad workmen in the area. Syracuse license branch manager Mrs. Frank Putt was slightly flustered when GOP congressional candidate Don Newman visited in Syracuse one day recently. In preparing for his arrival, she slipped on the proper appertenances —the Newman-for-Congress badge and Spiro Agnew watch — and made the rounds with the young crew cut candidate. All day she kept the left arm well forward in order to give an eminent display to the watch. But no comment was forthcoming. At the end of a long day. somewhat bushed, she couldn’t understand why the watch had attracted no attention. Finally she noted, the watch she was wearing was her Mickey Mouse watch and not the Spiro Agnew watch! Indiana senator Vance Hartke again introduced his Senate Resolution 102 with respect to religious practices in public schools. Here it is: Resolved. That it is the sense of the Senate that—

(a) notwithstanding the recent Supreme Court decisions relating to the reading of the Bible and the offering of prayer in the public schools, any public school system if it so chooses may provide time during the school day for prayerful meditation if no public official prescribes or recites the prayer which is offered; and (b) providing public school time for prayerful meditation in no way violates the Constitution because each individual participating therein would be permitted to pray as he chooses, but that such practice is consonant with the free exercise of religion protected by the first amendment to the Constitution. A letter arrived at the Syracuse office of The Mail-Journal on Friday which was postmarked: North Webster, Ind., June 6,1966. Enclosed was a check for a subscription renewal from James W. Rhoads, r 3 Syracuse. A remark from an employee: “Rhoads has probably been mad at us for four years and we never knew it.” In face of the fact that drugs in high schools have become a real problem throughout the country, administrators at Wawasee high school are to be credited for their open handed approach to the problem. First, principal Henry Smith admits to such a problem in WHS (in a talk last Monday to students over the school’s loudspeaker system), stating "pushers” will be prosecuted and users will be given all consideration and understanding to work out their "problem.”

“There will be no attempt to sweep the problem under the rug at Wawasee high,” principal Smith contends. He is urging parents to recognize the possibility that drugs may be used by their own children, to face up to the seriousness of the problem, and to work with school officials to a real solution. Principal Smith is telling students it isn’t smart to use dope; rather that it’s dumb — spelled D-U-M-B. Look for civic-minded groups in Milford and North Webster to get behind a move to push for free telephone service between the two communities. The idea was first suggested before the Milford Area Development Council (MAD) by Rev. Ralph Karstedt, Milford Methodist pastor. He said, “The lack of free communications between the two communities keeps us isolated and apart.” He urged Milford to give up its free service between Milford and New Paris (in Elkhart county) if any concession must be made to the telephone company. Look for an uptown merchant to change his location in the near future. LAKELAND LOCALS Mrs. C. V. Kerlin of r 2 Milford is confined to her home with virus pneumonia. Dr. and Mrs. Frank Wadas of Milford were Sunday callers of Dr. and Mrs. Floyd Rheinheimer of r 1 Milford.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin Friends of the library have made it possible for us to set up a memorial fund in memory of Herbert Baumgartner. So far $45 has been received. Mrs. Dorothy Williams and Mrs. Lawrence Homan have placed the book “Jenny Lind’s America” written by Cavanaugh in the library in memory of Pearle Wehrly. Neighbors of Mrs. Charles (Clara) Price have given money for the purchase of books in her memory. Selection of titles are not yet made Hie librarian received a letter from Dr. Guy G. Becknell, a native of Milford who was bom 92 years ago on April 16, 1878 in the Higbee home (now the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Jessop and family.) He said “What a pleasant surprise The Mail-Journal had in store for me ... my congratulations particularly on the children’s room of the library. It is wonderful to have dreams come true so I am enclosing a check to buy something for that room. Best wishes for the library and the librarian.” We appreciate his interest, best wishes and gift, very much. On November 23, Dr. Becknell, a former Tampa, Fla., university professor, will be the speaker at the Tampa Torch club. This is an international club of professional men and Dr. Becknell is recognized as the oldest active member in the United States.

Children’s Notes By MRS. DONN KESLER Witches, ghosts and jack-o-lanterns are in view in the children’s room, reminding us that Halloween will soon be here. We thank Mrs. Rick Stump and children, Ricky and Danielle for the large pumpkin they brought for a jack-o-lantern. Also, thanks to Sam Welker who carved the smiling face for us. The children are bringing in signs of fall for our table and each visitor enjoys looking at the display of nuts, buckeyes and many colorful leaves. If you visited the library last week you would have noticed the absence of Mrs. Charles Kerlin who has been ill. The library is not the same without her pleasant smile and her willing helpfulness to everyone. Mrs. Sam Welker is working full-time while Mrs. Kerlin is at home. - We wish Mrs. Kerlin a speedy recovery and hope she’ll be back with us very soon. If you have children in the family who enjoy stories we hope you will remind them that October 31 at 2 p.m. will be our first story hour. We will have story hour each Saturday and we hope many boys and girls will come. LAKELAND LOCALS Mrs. Hazel Kline of Milford attended the Homecoming festivities at the Lutheran church in Millersburg on Sunday. A carry-in dinner was held at noon. Mrs. Ruth Gastman, Box 33, Grayslake, Hl., visited Mrs. Chester Overlease and daughter, Miss Clara Overlease, in Elkhart this week. Mrs. Gastman is the former Ruth Ridgley of Milford. TTiey called on friends in Milford Tuesday.

Milford Lions Hear Talk On Life In Haiti Milford Lions Monday night heard a fine talk on life in Haiti by Warsaw optometrist, Dr. Virgil A. McCleary. He was introduced by Paul B rem beck, a longtime friend. Dr. McCleary has made frequent trips to the impoverished country to lend his services to the medical teams working there on a voluntary basis. He proved an excellent photographer and an able story teller as he related conditions in Haiti. To Sponsor Scouts Also appearing at the Lions meeting was Boy Scout executive Terry Mack and Robert Vanlaningham, who has an interest in revitalizing scouting activities in Milford. Vanlaningham told the group it would cost about $560. “and a lot of work” to bring the scout cabin at Waubee Lake up to standard. Hie club voted to improve the cabin and encourage the reorganization of a local scout troop.

Mr. Mack said a survey in the Milford junior high school showed there were 44 youngsters interested in scouting. He said fixing up the cabin would “be a boon to scouting in Milford.” He said perhaps a second troop could be formed. Milford Lions passed a motion td hold a pancake supper in the near future with all proceeds to go toward repair of the scout cabin. Other Business In other business, Lion Arch Baumgartner introduced Frank Perales, president of the newly formed United MexicanAmerican group in the community. He introduced the group’s vice president, Oscar Pena, and its secretary, Raymond Sanches. Mr. Perales read the by-laws of the group and explained their aims. MARK ALAN RAY HONORED WITH PARTY Mrs. Barbara Ray of r 1 Milford held a birthday party for Mark Alan who was one year old Sunday. Refreshments of cake and ice cream were served to Earl Bechtel of South Bend, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Douglas of Syracuse, Mr. and Mrs. Terry Beatty and Anna Hickman, all of Milford.
