Indiana Courthouses Os The 19th Century On Exhibit The Kosciusko County Historical Society is sponsoring an exhibit of the 19th century Indiana courthouses m the east lobby of the courthouse The exhibit is being displayed from May 26 to June 12. One way to visit Indiana is to visit each of its 92 courthouses and to see that the popular opinion that all public, squares and courthouses are the same is erroneous There was a form of Hoosier Hysteria in the 1800’s in building court - houses All 92 counties built at least two and as many as five in a span of less than 90 years Competition was keen between town for the county seat All thought that this would insure rapid growth which, however, was not always the case The rivalry between Indiana cities m the 19th century can readily be

traced to the rivalry between European cities in the late Gothic and Renaissance periods as seen in the 14th and 15th centuries’ city halls and other public buildings. When David Hermansen, professor of architecture at Ball State university, came to Indiana several years ago he noticed the beauty and architectural variety of the 19th century- courthouses He made it a hobby to photograph and trace the origin of our 92 courthouses. These have been made into an exhibit by the Indiana State Arts Commission jointly with Ball State. It has been shown in Washington, D. C., and is presently on a two year tour of all Indiana counties Kosciusko county is fortunate in being fifth on the lis,t. The architectural styles vary frwn the simple but beautiful Greek revival structures in Rising Sun and Paoli. Indiana to the brutish, immence fort-like .structures of the Romanesque design as seen in the Richmond

and Hartford City courthouses. Professor Hermansen has a lot of respect for the Kosciusko county courthouse that was designed by Thomas J. Tolan and Son. However he suspects that the son. Brentwood S. Tolan actually designed it since his courthouse in Muncie was almost an exact replica. (The Delaware courthouse was razed in 1969 to make way a modern but uninteresting steel and glass structure). Warsaw has more than its share of publicity in this exhibit. Project Recovery Exhibit Also, in the west hallway of the courthouse is an exhibit on Project Recovery made by Jeff Nicholls, son of Mr and Mrs. Harold Nicholls. Nicholls and his troop of Explorers Post No. 67 under the leadership of Jack Rife, have spent many hours on this project preserving and cataloging the old county records The 19th Century Indiana Courthouse exhibit is open and free to the public during courthouse hours until June 12. Prof. Hermansen’s exhibit will demonstrate to communities the importance of preserving these outstanding examples of architecture Green Thumb Tips] Have you ordered your flower and vegetable seeds?

Gary Player Believes > In Physical Conditioning

Not long ago, startled occupants of a Tokyo hotel heard the sound of feet pounding down a long corridor and gazed dumbfounded at a short, muscular man — “young” in the truest sense of the word — jogging down a long corridor. Most were so startled, they slammed their doors in embarrassment. They shouldn’t have been surprised. South African golfer Gary Player, probably the foremost critic of what he considers the atrociously bad physical condition of the average man, is always running or jogging. When he isn’t playing golf. Or exercising. Or espousing the cause of good health making for a happy man. Gary, one of golf’s “Big Three” in reputation despite his 5-foot-7 stature, believes Americans “have been kinder to me than any other people in the world.” That is why he is so distressed by the poor exercising habits and excesses in use of alcohol and drugs he sees week in and week out on the golf tour. He sums it up this way: “It would be easier for a camel to pass through the head of a pin than to get the average American man to exercise for 10 minutes a day.” Player, who emphasizes he is not isolating Americans as the only persons neglecting their physical and therefore their psychological health, said that 10 minutes a day really is all that is necessary for the average man to exercise to keep in reasonably good condition. Playa-, 35, argues that there is “no reason a man who is 50 years old cannot have the body of a 25-year-old.” By exacising 40 minutes five days a week in a gym and running a mile or more an equal number of days. Player has greatly increased his strength since he turned 21. “I have increased my average drive by 15 yards in the last 10 years,” said the former U. S. Open and Masters champion. That averages out to a healthy 265 yards. “I see no reason why I cannot add another 15 yards,” Playa said, his voice and face mirroring both confidence and determination typical of the man. One illustration of how Player disciplines himself when he sets a goal is an anecdote about his fierce rivalry with a cocky forma star on the golf tour. He was reminded of it during an interview. •‘l’d rather you not use his name,” Player said, “but the story- is true. We were playing together and he kept telling me. You are lying away «meaning Playa’s drive was shorta)!’ I made up my mind then that the next time we played, he would not outdrive me. "And he never did," said Player, who believes parents can inspire their children and help close the generation gap by keeping fit themselves. “Take my boys,” Player continued. “Mark (8) and Wayne (10) asked for some running spikes. But I told them they would have to jog better to the stable than they had been doing to earn them. “I really think that relations between the genaations can be closed if parents are in condition to do things with their children," he said. At one point during the conversation, Player, forsaking his usual black golf attire for a dark purple sweater, excused himself to go to his room to get information confirming his argument that the physical condition of the average man was worsening instead of improving. "Hae," he said, “in 1937 thae are statistics showing the cost of medical care to be $4 billion in America. In 1968, it was $54 billion. Obviously, it has increased since then." Playa believes the keys to physical condition are “good

lungs and a good heart.” Then he will cite you anotha statistic that there are 1 million Americans with heart or high blood pressure problems. What about mental tension that contributes to such difficulties’’ Exercise or physical action again is presaibed as the-best solution. "It is far better than taking a drink or a cigarette evay time you have a little tension,” says Playa.
