has been president of the Whitko Classroom Teachers’ Association for the past three years, noting that the last four such presidents have either been fired or forced to resign. People Should Know The 12 grievances are as follows: 1. The school board should let the people know what is happening in the Whitko school corporation, and that we as teachers are concerned with the quality of education in the Whitko school corporation. 2. Teachers would like one period of free time per day per teacher 3. Needed are qualified, full time adult librarian aids for the elementary schools in the South Whitley Middle school.

items and was the individual to be contacted, however, a check proved thus far that Cochran is not at Rochester and unable to be contacted. A document is to be prepared to be sent for immediate removal of goods or the town will dispose of same as they see fit so the building may be removed. Storage rent is still due on the building. Clean-Up Day May 8 through 13 has been designated as Clean-Up Day in the town of Syracuse with all unwanted items to be picked up by the town.

'Defensive Driving' Key To Safety “Defensive driving” is the key to accident-free driving, according to the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. One hears a lot about "defensive driving” these days but just what is “defensive (hiving"? The Chicago Motor Club-AAA says that ‘‘defensive driving" includes: — Fastening your seatbelt, locking your doors and checking your lights. — Knowing where you’re going so you won’t have to look down at a map while you’re driving. — Checking traffic in all directions before entering an intersection. — Always leaving yourself an “out" (an “out” is leaving enough space between yourself and the car in front of you and leaving enough space between yourself and the cars on each side of you). — Always checking cars parked alongside the road in case anyone ever darts out from between them — Never taking anything for granted while driving. — Slowing down in anticipation of a light change if the stoplight has been green for a while. — Signaling well in advance with both turn signal and hand signal when getting ready to park your car. A defensive driver always is prepared for anything the other driver might do. This is what makes him a defensive driver and a good driver

Stretch Your Income

LAFAYETTE — All families have money and shopping problems Even with the increase in income which has been experienced by most American families during the past decade, problems involving spending and saving still are complicated says Miss Carolyn Gaddis, extension family economics specialist at Purdue university. The cost of living has increased steadily and will continue to increase at a slower rate during the next year. In addition to the cost of living increase which puts some strain on the family’s income, expenses which are unexpected can also cause financial problems. Careful planning and shopping can help the family to overcome some of the difficulties that are caused by outside forces. Today 's market places are extremely complex. For example, in a grocery alone the items to choose from number over 8,000. One of the primary business responsibilities of the homemaker is shopping, says Miss Gaddis. Her business center is her hone and one of the main reference tools is the news media. Careful shopping is a time-consuming task and often requires considerable work. Resources must be evaluated. Time and energy versus money is an important consideration when looking at what is required to become a truly expert shopper. However, there are some techniques for saving money the housewife can use which can help considerably in cutting expenditures. Stores frequently offer specials as incentives for the customer to enter their particular establishment. Miss Gaddis says that the smart shopper will study the specials which are offered by the steres and will make it a practice to purchase items that her family uses when the items are on special Another saver for the home shopper is the coupon specials which are found frequently in newspapers and magazines. Savings of from five cents to 25 cents are offered the consumer for trying a new’ product or a product that the manufacturer is trying to introduce to a larger audience. If these specials and coupons are used for items the homemaker frequently purchases, these savings can be viewed as earnings. A study of the merchandising practices of the stores in her area can enable the shopper to plan expenditures to take advantage of the specials as they are offered. Sales are one way in which the consumer can have many of

committee that visited the corporation said this is a weak point. 11. A cost of living pay increase for all teachers. 12. Salaries are paid on a 12month basis. When pay per day is figured for publication, it should be figured on a 12-month basis, not a 180-day teaching year. This is misleading and makes the salary sound much higher than it actually is. An impasse exists between the Whitko school board and the classroom teachers, primary over salary increases, with the board resisting annual increases. A school board election in the Whitko school corporation will be held May 2 with candidates sharply divided on the issues involved, and this should resolve the problem — at least for the present time.

the things she could not otherwise afford. Stores offer savings at different times of the month, year, or season. Everyone is familiar with the end-of-season sale which comes just before the start of the next season. Miss Gaddis says items that are purchased at an end-of-season sale should be items that are not considered high fashion or fad items so that they will be in style during the next season. The consumer should not overlook the pre-season sale for purchases of such things as air conditioners and winter coats. These can offer considerable savings since the specials are offered at a time when most consumers are not considering such purchases. Semiannual sales also offer valuable savings. One good example of a semiannual sale is the white goods promotion which occurs in January and again in July says Miss Gaddis. With careful planning all expenditures for sheets and towels can be made at considerable savings during these special events. Many stores have monthly sales or end-of-month sales where they reduce inventory on items that have not sold well during the previous month. Anniversary sales are another kind of sale offered by many department stores. Learning to anticipate the sales and plan purchases around them can save the consumer considerable money. K Vehicles Collide Near Wakarusa Vehicles driven by Verne C. Meyers, 55, Syracuse, and Floyd E. Hall, 22, Goshen, collided Monday afternoon as Meyers drove from a service station near Wakarusa into the Hall auto. Officers reported Meyers was driving a 1968 Dodge pickup truck which struck the southbound 1972 Plymouth driven by Hall. No one was hurt and damage was set at more than $250. Kenneth Fawley Joins Sells Realty Kenneth Fawley, 1305 North Lakeview Blvd., Warsaw, well known area real estate salesman and auctioneer, has joined Sells and Sells Realty of Warsaw. Fawley has had several years experience in appraising and selling residential, farm and commercial properties.

Portland Man Arrested For Car Theft Through inquires late Monday and through Tuesday by Syracuse chief of police Orville Vanderßeyden, Larry L. Mock. 27, of 704 E. Walnut St., Portland, was taken into custody late Tuesday afternoon on Indiana 13 north of Syracuse, near Regent and Cambridge Homes, on charges of car theft. The charges are in connection with the theft and wrecking of the 1971 Ford belonging to Billy Cobum of 430 Dolan Drive. Syracuse. The auto was reported missing Sunday morning from in front of the Cobum home and found wrecked by the Jay county police in an area near Portland on Monday. The Portland man had made inquiries at Cutter Chevrolet in Syracuse for obtaining a vehicle and left an older model Cadillac at the Heyde station in Syracuse when it failed to operate, stating he was lacking funds to have it repaired but would be ’ getting a job for necessary monies. He was driving an old model truck when apprehended by Syracuse police and taken to the police station for questioning. He sustained a bruised eye and rib injuries in the accident which demolished the Coburn car and had received treatment at a clinic at Portland. Mock is incarcerated in the county jail at Warsaw. Offers Tips For Motorists Driving In Fog The safety and traffic engineering department of the Chicago Motor club has issued a list of recommendations for motorists driving in fog. The safety tips are based on the results of a recent study made by the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratories. The study has been under way for more than two years and offers these suggestions: 1. Lower your speed to a safe pace and move with the flow of traffic so that you are not an obstacle for the cars behind you. 2. If conditions show promise of improving, you might decide to pull off the road and resume your trip later. 3. Consider switching to a road where you may think traffic will be moving at a safer speed. 4. Stay in the traffic stream and exercise a maximum vigilance. Keep alert of the vehicles behind you as well as watching the ones alongside and ahead of you. 5. If you have an accident, get your car off the road as quickly and as far as possible and turn on your four-way flashers. If your car is disabled, don’t sit in it waiting for help to come. The study concluded that, while progress has been made in the dissipation of fog, it offers no practical or economical solution that could be of assistance to the motorist. One of the main causes of crashes during a fog condition is “overdriving” which means that the vehicle is traveling at a faster rate of speed than its ability to brake to a stop when confronted with a stationary obstacle. Studies reveal that one out of every four motorists overdrives his visual range in fog. A high beam headlight should not be used since it will make it harder to see the road as well as causing a hazard to an approaching driver. Another interesting conclusion made by Cornell Laboratories was that headights, taillights, or signals do not make it easier for the following car to see the vehicle ahead. Generally, a motorist approaching a vehicle from behind is able to see the car ahead before he sees the lights. This is an extremely dangerous condition because he may be misled into believing that the vehicle is moving straight ahead while actually it may be in a braking or'turning maneuver.
