facts about $ § ‘OUR TOWN* Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Several of Our Town’s young men are currently stationed in Europe with the U. S. armed services. Others are serving here in the states and elsewhere in the world. Today is Veteran’s Day and we pause for a minute to honor all who are veterans and all who are serving currently. The Legion has also proclaimed today as Prisoner of War day. Their prayer appears on the editorial page. It is our prayer too! Among the service notes we heard this week is the promotion of Thomas Levernier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Levernier of Our Town, to Spec 4. Tom and his wife Nancy are living in Sennfield, Germany. Mr. and Mrs. James Rummel of near Our Town will soon leave for England. Sgt. Rummel is a member of the marines. Speaking of servicemen, it’s getting close to Christmas so why not send those addresses to The M-J and we’ll print them so cards and gifts may be sent to all of our service boys this year. Chief of police Don Drake received a nasty bite on his hand last week when a neighbor’s dog got loose and ended up on his property, fighting with his dog. Drake was bitten trying to separate the two animals. Did you see Our Town’s ladies on television last week? Since The M-J office doesn’t come complete with television we missed them. As I understand it they were from the United Methodist church and were telling of items being made of the Bazaar this week. A reader informs us Mrs. Vernon May will be on television November 16. Remember and watch for her. Mrs. May is “a great seamstress and does beautiful work,” according to our reader and we must agree. Watch for something new in The M-J next week. Several months ago area women sent us their favorite recipes. These have been set in type and will be published in a special section next week. This section is being fixed so those of you who wish can pull it out and save it and try new recipes during the holidayseason.

Urge Letter-Writing Campaign Aimed At Release Os POWs

Midshipmen in the U.S. Navy Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, are mounting a letterwriting campaign aimed at freeing American prisoners of war in North Viet Nam, or at least seeking humane treatment of the prisoners. The letter-writing effort came home to the Lakeland area early this week when Mr. and Mrs. Forrest (“Bud”) Smith. 106 Medusa Court. Syracuse, received a letter from their son. Midshipman Michael Smith, class of 1974, urging them in the errand of mercy. Asks Temperate Letters Mike, a Syracuse high school graduate with the class of 1968, wrote his parents that letters should be addressed to: POW Campaign, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland 21402. He said letters should be tempered, urging that they have 1) a human point of view, 2) contain no political or military viewpoint, 3) show some concern, and 4) are not abusive in any way. The campaign by wives and relatives of the Viet Nam prisoners of war to have the men freed, or at least to permit an inspection of POW camps in North Viet Nam is well known throughout the world. Mike Smith's letter to his parents asks that letter writers in the Lakeland area who want to help in this effort should urge the neutral inspection of all prison camps, and urge North Viet Nam officials to publish a complete list of all men they hold. They should ask for a free flow of mail between the prisoners of war and their families, and urge the release of the sick and wounded. The appeal is to be a citizen appeal rather than an official appeal. Bali Game Coverage At halftime of the forthcoming Army-Navy football game, which will be televised, the letters will be turned over to the wives and or relatives of the American prisoners of war that they may be sent to the North Viet Nam government in Hanoi. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are urging local people to respond to the request of their son Mike in assisting in the humane letterwriting campaign. As Mike points out, it is a small thing we can do. but it is so important to those whose loved ones remain prisoners in North Viet Nam. Gun Slinger - ' (Continued From Page 1) and both urged the gun-toting senior Eppert to give up his mad pursuit, but they met with little success. At one split-second, Eppert whirled around with his gun pointing at Fellows, when officer Fellows fired one shot into the chest of the avenging Eppert Charges of carrying a deadly weapon without a permit and drawing a dangerous weapon were filed against Eppert in Kosciusko Superior Cdurt Tuesday morning by prosecuting attorney Steven Heard.

Byrd was not available for comment. In Intensive Care Meanwhile, Eppert is a patient in intensive care at the Goshen hospital.

Post-Election - (Continued from page 1) The superintendent also reported there are 10 students from the corporation at the Cardinal Learning Center in Warsaw. The corporation is paying for these transfers under Tide I as it can not be done through tax funds. These students who are trainable may soon join the Lakeland school system as new state regulations go into effect in 1973. Mr. Arnold explained Warsaw and Tippecanoe Valley have joined with Lakeland in working out a special education program. Asked what would happen to the Cardinal Learning Center, Arnold explained they will be training pre-schoolers and will continue working with the older people in the sheltered workshop. Business manager Marion Lantz requested payment of a claim to Bill Wollman of Milford. He explained when the visitors’ bleachers were installed by Total Look, the company Wollman previously worked for, they did not meet specifications. He continued $299 was held from the final payment and the company was contacted several times to make the necessary changes. Since this was not done Mr. Wollman did the work himself and Lantz requested the money be paid to him. The claim was approved. The superintendent reported the principals in the school corporation had made 31 classroom visitations during October, working with the new teachers in the school system. He stated 91 per cent of the parents at Milford. 97 at North Webster and 98 at Syracuse participated in the conferences held for first, second and third grade parents and teachers. A report from the Syracuse elementary school showed a total of 3,205 books checked out of the library during October This is an average of 162 books per day. Asked about how many students are enrolled at Wawasee high school Mr. Arnold stated he did not know, however, there were 821 enrolled the first of the school year. Last year 785 were enrolled, including eight or nine who came from Wawasee Prep for a math class. About 777 were full time Lakeland students. A question was aksed from the floor on teachers’ duties outside during recess. Reports have been heard at times of fights that go unreported, etc. This, stated Arnold, is left up to the principals of the several schools. Most teachers are rotated in this supervision. They are not, he said, on the playground to supervise games but to be in a position were they cair assist if needed and can handle the fights, etc. Mr. Arnold will check with the principals on playground supervision. Another question was on what the school board spent money on at Kent State university and the Holiday Inn in Goshen. The money sent to Kent State was for, film rental as the school corporation often rents films from universities to show in the various classes. The money to the Holiday Inn was to pay for the lodging of the members of the North Central Evaluation team. This is the only charge the team makes to the school corporation for the evaluation. Bus Inspection Business manager Lantz stated the annual school bus inspection was held in September and October and all buses have,been passed. He continued the summer bus maintance program is beginning to pay off as there have been less brake downs this year than ever before. Mr. Lantz asked the board for permission to purchase a new blower motor for the boiler at North Webster. It will be kept for a spare. When said motors break down it takes at least a week to repair or replace them. If such a break down would occur during zero weather it could be expensive with pipes freezing and other damages to also repair. Lantz stated a new motor two years ago would have cost $45. This price would now be higher. Asked about a reconditioned motor he stated he didn’t know if one could be purchased or not.

Lantz will get more facts on prices of motors and report back to the board. The board approved Maurice C. Vance, a retired teacher, for homebound instruction of Robert Price who was injured in an automobile accident. Robert is a student at Syrause junior high school. Approval was also given for the payment of architect fees as follows: Milford junior high school $793. North Webster school $8,794, Syracuse school $4,688 and Wawasee high school $7,578.
