Leesburg's Loss

The death by her own hand of Mrs. James Engle of Leesburg came as a shock to the residents of Leesburg, and it will surely be a great loss to that community. Mrs. Engle, who was commonly known as Millie, kept the town of Leesburg close to her heart. Not only was she president of the Merchants’ Association of Leesburg, but she was a prime mover of the annual Leesburg Days. Millie was an efficient “girl Friday” at the Leesburg Lumber Co.,

China No Wastebasket

Newsmen who covered President Nixon’s visit to China are still talking about how difficult — nay, impossible — it was to dispose of anything. Wire service photographer Bill Achatz, for one, says he left a bottle of gin in his hotel room. “When I got to the airport, as we were leaving, a guy threaded his way through the crowd, tapped me on the Shoulder and said, “You left this bottle back in your room.” “Someone else tried to get rid of a

and she didn’t slight her responsibilities there to promote Leesburg. The two seemed to go hand in hand for Millie. She was always friendly and thoughtful and a real pleasure to work with. Her interest in memorabilia of Leesburg was excelled by no one. What troubles a person at times others seldom know. Millie kept her troubles to herself — they never showed on her face. Others besides the residents of Leesburg will miss Millie Engle, but theirs will be the greater loss.

derMast said. “Unfortunately a minority of misinformed citizens still attach a stigma to people who have experienced mental and emotional disorders. “It is regrettable that this segment of our society, small though it is, is still sufficiently large to limit as individual’s opportunities. “The Mental Health Association in Indiana is charged with educating the public about mental illness. The need for such education is evidenced by the failure of people to make any distinctions between types of mental illness. The association has repeatedly pointed out that most types of mental illness no more limit an individual’s ability to hold a responsible position than do most types of physical illness. “Millions of people who have had emotional and mental problems should be encouraged by the knowledge that Senator Eagleton has overcome his illness, has been elected to and has successfully held one of our nation’s highest offices. He joins the ranks of such prominent Americans as Presidents Jefferson and Lincoln, the founders of our hyo major political parties, who were both known to have experienced periods of extreme emotional depression. “The Senator’s candor concerning his mental problems is to be applauded, as is the candor of Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Jr. Such frankness helps bring about greater public awareness and understanding of mental illness. “Senator Eagleton’s determination to continue his political career sets an example for others who have been treated for mental problems,” Mr. VanderMast continued. “I commend him for his courage. I further call upon him to champion, the cause of the mentally ill by sponsoring and supporting legislation in the Senate dealing with their plight. As a high official, who has unjustly suffered from the stigma attached to mental illness, he is in a unique position to solve many of the legislative problems in the mental health field which others have chosen to neglect."

jrj facts about | 5 ‘OUR TOWN* Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Guy Smoker stopped by our office one day last week to reminisce on the day he viewed the funeral train of President Warren Gamaliel Harding as it passed through Milford Junction some 49 years ago. Harding died of a heart attack on August 2, 1923 in San Francisco. Calvin Coolidge then became president. Harding was born in Ohio in 1865 and married Florence Kling De Wolf in 1891. Mr. Smoker, a resident of Elkhart, remembers there were nine coaches on the funeral train which was dark except for the car which carried the flag draped casket of the fallen President. Those who watched the train pass, cars lined the roads for about a half mile back on each side of the tracks, could see the casket and its two honor guards. Our congratulations go to all of the Milford 4-H’ers who won honors at the 1972 Kosciusko county fair. Special congratulations go to Melissa Tom who won the division two clothing construction championship and the dress revue skirt championship and her sister, Melinda, won the clothing construction championship in division four plus the intermediate dress revue championship and was named junior construction champion. Other area girls winning honors at the dress revue were Ann Kaiser who won division four construction alternate honors and was named to the dress revue honors group; Cynthia Rapp and Darcy Wolferman who were champion and alternate in construction for division six; Pam Sands, who was named to the honor group in clothing three; Pat Buhrt and Darcy Wolferman were both named to the honors group for dress up dresses; and Lydia Shearer won alternate honors in formals. Congratulations also to all the other Milford winners who were announced after we closed out this column. Editorial: Seems like everyone in the community chipped in to buy new street signs for Our Town and now we expect one man to do all the work by putting them up alone. Doesn’t seem fair from the way I look at it. Why can’t MAD or someone lend a hand?
