:•: facts about •:• ■OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind.

By JERI SEELY We received a note after last week’s paper went to press from Harold Pound of r 1 Leesburg. Mr. Pound slates he read the article in this column by Guy G. Becknell about the •Immortal J.N.” In the article Mr. Becknell staled he would like to know whether anyone remembers or knew about "J.N." Mr. Pound is 83 and remembers this man very well. He writes, "He used to come through Oswego where I still live and sometimes stopped at the school here where 1 attended as a boy "The phrase he used as 1 remember it was not 'lifting the veil* hut'lifting the pressure.' His mind was affected somewhat but he was harmless and 1 always thcught his reference to ‘lifting the pressure' had something to do with his mental state and perhaps a feeling of pressure in his head. There may be others who also remember this man. I never heard what became of him." Bud and 1 were off Easter Sunday after church to spend the remainder of the day with his sister and family. Mr. and Mrs. M J D’Addio and Philip and Mr and Mrs Clark Green in Lisle, 111. Apologies go to Mr. and Mrs. Dale Stump of Our Town whose names were somehow or another left out of notice on their new grandson. Douglas Allen.

Born on Sunday, March 26, in the Goshen hospital, the young lad was in attendance at Easter mcrning worship services at the Christian church with his parents. How did you like the weather man's April Fool’s joke’ We ll have to admit the snow was beautiful in the early morning hours as it hung from the branches of every tree and shrub around Our Town.

W’illiam van Hees, master general of the Crosier Order, announced on Easter Sunday at the Order’s headquarters in Holland, that Very Rev. Richard T. John. 0.5. C., had been re-elected as Provincial of the United States Province of Crosiers for a second term of four years, beginning on July 1, 1972. This is the first time that such an election has taken place by mail, rather than at a meeting of delegates, thus providing an opportunity for all members to vote. He obtained more than 80 per cent of the total votes cast. Father John maintains his office and residence at the Crosier House of Studies in Fort Wayne. From there he oversees the work of the Crosiers throughout the U.S. as well as the activities in the mission of Asmat in New Guinea. The Asmat people, and the Crosiers who work among them, were featured in the March, 1972, issue of “National Geographic Magazine.” This is one of the most primitive and remote places in the world and took three months for the ballots to travel to the back villages and return. In the U.S. the Crosiers are represented in the dioceses of Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland. Crookston. Duluth, Fargo, Fort W’ayne-South Bend, Kalamazoo, Lincoln, New York. Saint Cloud, Saint Paul-Minneapolis, Saint Petersburg and San Antonio. In the Syracuse area the Crosiers operate W'awasee Prep, and participate in the C.Y.O. summer camp, as well as in many other athletic and religious activities. Father John was Prior and Rector dmng the period from 1965 to 1969. As Provincial, Father John is an ex-officio member of the world-wide general board of the Crosiers. The Order has members working in Europe, South America, Africa and the Far East. Within recent years, as a member of this board, he has visited all these areas, with the exception of the troubled and recently rechristened country of Zaire, in Africa.
