let Us Give Thanks' Is The Theme For Bloodmobile Visit

“Let Us Give Thanks by Giving Blood” is the theme being used by the Knights of Columbus sponsored visit of the American Red Cross bloodmobile unit to Wawasee high school on Friday, Nov. 3, from 12 to 6 p.m. The permissive Red Cross blood program of the Kosciusko county Red Cross chapter is one of the 1,700 chapters participating in the nation-wide program to provide one half of this country’s blood needs by sending blood and blood products to 4,300 hospitals. The Fort Wayne regional blood center covers 59 hospitals located in Indiana and Ohio. Nothing is charged for the Red Cross blood or blood products, but hospitals are billed for processing, collection and laboratory costs by the Red Cross Hood center. This charge as well as the hospital’s charge for administration and laboratory tests are billed to the recipient although, as stated before, there is no charge for the blood itself. Because Red Cross blood products come from volunteer donors there is less danger of transmitting hepatitis, the sometimes fatal disease of the liver, which experience has shown is more frequently transmitted by the blood of paid donors. In April 1971, the Red Cross began testing all blood it receives for hepatitis-associated antigen. In addition to whole blood, which must be used within 21 days to be effective, the Red Cross also produces and distributes a number of blood components which enable physicians to give the precise dement of blood they need. The Red Cross blood program operates a computerized rare donor registry, one of the world’s largest depositories of information on donors who have rare blood types. Now in daily use, the register enables Red Cross to assist a person who

needs rare blood by matching donors anywhere in the U. S. and sometimes in other countries. Who Can Donate Donors between the ages of 18 and 66 who are in general good health, weighing at least 110 pounds (130 pounds for men) will be welcome at Syracuse on Friday. Persons who have received blood, plasma, serum or have been tattooed in the past six months; or have a past history of hepatitis; or have ever had malaria; have had a tooth extracted within the last 72 hours; or are suffering from an allergy, asthma or hayfever on the day of the visit will not be able to give. Medications intended for serious conditions such as digitalis, preparation, nitroglycerine, dilantin, etc., are disqualifying. Also women are ineligible as donors during pregnancy and for six months after delivery, abortion or miscarriage. Donors who have had infectious mononucleosis are acceptable one year after unless complicated by jaundice. Donors who have taken antimalarial drugs are to be deferred for three years from the date of last medication, also servicemen who served in Viet Nam are to be deferred as donors for a period of three years. Donors may give Hood every eight weeks, but no more than five times a year. 150 Needed A total of 150 donors are needed in order to secure a quota of 120 pints at the November 3 visit. Donors may call Mrs. Charles Taylor or Mrs. Tom List for appointments. Walk-ins are also welcome. The Kosciusko county blood program, a permissive program of the county chapter of the American Red Cross, a United Fund partner member, is estimated to save county residents approximately $40,000 yearly.

VOTE FOR TEEL Republican Candidate For County Treasurer

taiziNiSS w Election Notes: When Chas. Harris, Syracuse mortician, and Bill Coburn, Syracuse wholesaler and member of the board of zoning appeals, were busy at the Syracuse Case working out a newspaper ad for this week, their lay-out was done on a restaurant napkin. This prompted a clever observation by Tom Gutermuth, a Kale Island resident. He said, “Would you say this is an underfinanced campaign?” “Elections are great things,” mused Dennis Loftus, a resident of Circle Drive, Papakeechie Lake, who has been trying to get a county road past his place repaired .for a long time. “The only thing is, they don’t happen often enough,” he added quickly. George C. Kistler, a r 4 resident whose interest in politics is only so-so, was overheard saying in front of the Syracuse post office Saturday morning, in response to a question about what is new, “Oh, nothing. I’m thinking about running against (Tenn) Prickett for mayor of Syracuse.” Tom and George are brothers-in-law. Rumors are being heard that Sam Holbrook of Warsaw is considering running for Kosciusko county sheriff again. Sam served as sheriff for two four-year terms, and is widely considered one of the best sheriffs this county ever had. He was elected Indiana’s “Sheriff of The Year” one year by his fellow sheriffs throughout the state. When Sam left the sheriffs office, he ran for county recorder but was defeated. Overheard at the Breakfast club at the Syracuse Case on morning last week, a Democrat speaking to a table full of Republicans: “I’ll make you a deal. I won’t say anything more about President Nixon and his Watergate deal if you don’t say anything more about Teddy going off the side of a bridge.” Love’s took on the autumn Halloween look last week with their corn shocks? Mary Popenfoose says she has several seats left on the chartered bus November 17 to the hobby show at Indianapolis. The Kiwanis travelogue November 9 sounds interesting! Up Cromwell way, the drug store Griffiths were “enchanted” Monday afternoon with

a black squirrel seen running along Main street. Miss Katharine Rothenberger, on a trip abroad, has been keeping local friends advised of her whereabouts. Sailing October 11 from Naples, points visited will be Malta, Tunisia, Sicily, Greece, Turkey and Yugoslavia before arriving back in Naples on November 8. A lovely picture post card to the E. L. Fosbrinks dated October 15 tells of Miss Rothenberger’s visit to Syracuse, Sicily, however an outbreak of cholera prevented the tour group from entering into North Africa. Lineman Larry Claybaugh was among the 138 NIPSCo employees being honored at regional dinners for achieving 25 continuous years of service with the utility company. Larry attended a dinner held last Thursday at South Bend. Also in attendance at the affair from Syracuse were Jay Peffley and retired utility employee Harry Ganger. Other dinners have been held at Hammond and Fort Wayne with one next week at Monticello. NIPSCo chairman and chief executive officer Dean H. Mitchell were hosts for the dinners and each 25 year member receives a gold wrist watch. Mental health names are still available at The Mail-Journal for Christmas gifts. Don’t forget the Red Cross bloodmobile visit at Wawasee high school Friday from 12 noon until 6 p.m. In the spirit of Halloween last Saturday evening, Pat and Jake Bitner sent son Mike to the Halloween festival at the Syracuse school to secure a pumpkin to decorate the front porch. Mike did just that — coming home with a 27 pounder. Promptly, work was started and a face carved. The gigantic pumpkin was placed on the lighted front porch on South Main street. Twenty minutes later, lo and behold, the pumpkin was gone. Did anyone see a 27 pound pumpkin going along Main? Inclement weather did not stop Halloween festivities Tuesday night for the planned party for the youth of the area, and police chief Vanderßeyden and town board members expressed appreciation this morning for cooperation of parents and children in all activities this past Halloween season. Appears there was not so much tricking this year. VOTE. .

Big Yawn — Continued From Page 1) For Commissioner Another Syracusan, Bill G. Cobum, is making his first bid for a county office, in running for county commissioner from the northern district, attempting to unseat incumbent Republican Maurice Dorsey. Both men have done limited campaigning. Another newcomer seeking a county office is Michael L. Ragan, Warsaw restauranteur, Democrat running for county commissioner from the middle district against incumbent Republican Frederick W. Gilliam. Ragan has done some newspaper advertising, but has limited his campaigning due to the demands on his time of running his restaurant. Gilliam has done practically no campaigning. Charles M. Brower, Republican and incumbent county surveyor, is unopposed for another term of office. Fithian A Chance Heading the county ticket are two candidates seeking the office of U. S. congressman from the second district. Kosciusko county has been gerrymandered back into the safe Republican second district and Earl Landgrebe, ultra-conservative Republican incumbent, is facing a vigorous campaigner in Purdue history professor Floyd Fithian. Landgrebe’s conservative position on many major national problems is enough to cause a number of district newspapers, including The Mail-Journal, to endorse unknown Fithian. With the big Lafayette Courier and Journal endorsing Fithian, the scales could easily be tipped to this newcomer. Also on the county ticket are the two seats for the Lakeland school board, with two men running unopposed. Phillip R. Payne, North Webster businessman, is running for the board from district 1 (Tippecanoe township), and Billy G. Little, Milford insurance executive, is running from district 3 (East Jefferson and Van Buren townships). Governor’s Race The race for Governor in Indiana is far too close to call, most observers would agree. Neither man is an incumbent and both are likeable, experienced Indiana politicians. Former governor Matthew E. Welsh of Vincennes is seeking another term in the state house, and if he succeeds, he will be the second man in the state’s history to hold that office twice. Indiana’s constitution does not allow two consecutive terms in that high office. Opposing Welsh is Dr. Otis R. Bowen, Bremen physician, who is the only man in Indiana’s history to be speaker of the house of representatives for three terms. Both men call property tax relief a prime plank in their platforms. Running with Welsh is Richard C. Bodine of Mishawaka, former speaker of the house, and aggressive campaigner. Bodine is known throughout the state, while his Republican coun-

of U. S.

terpart, Robert D. Orr, is less well known: In northern Indiana Bodine will be a real plus to the Welsh ticket. John F. Augsburger, Republican, Milford retail grocery chain owner, is seeking his second term as state senator from the 13th district (LaGrange, Noble, Kosciusko and Steuben counties), and should easily win re-election over unknown Louis E. Lash, Avilla Democrat. Augsburger has proved a vigorous campaigner. For joint state representative from Fulton and Kosciusko counties (17th district), Thames L. Mauzy is seeking re-election on the Republican ticket. He is opposed by newcomer Merle R. Holden of Milford, former Whitko school teacher. Mauzy is well known and Holden is not, and Mauzy should win re-election easily. Loughlin A Plus John J. Loughlin, South Bend Democrat, is seeking another term as state superintendent of public instruction, and is a real

plus to his party’s ticket. He is hailed by Hoosier teachers as a “good boss.” He should win over Republican Harold H. Negley. The first Black man to seek a major state office in Indiana is Theodore D. Wilson, 39-year-old Indianapolis attorney, running for attorney general on the Democrat ticket. He has a good chance of winning. His record as an Alabama farm boy to a leader in Indiana politics is a story that should challenge any member of his race. Other than that, Indiana voters will be casting a decision on five constitutional amendments when they vote next Tuesday. The amendments have been previously printed in these columns in full. At this point a heavy vote is not predicted in Indiana. Mrs. Earl Treadway of Syracuse returned Monday from a five day visit with her sister, Mrs. Helen Snyder, at Davis Lake, Edwardsburg, Mich.

Four Arrested In Milford During Week Milford town marshal Don Drake reported a total of four persons were arrested over the past week. Those arrests follow: Jose A. Rangel, 22, Milford, was arrested for failure to appear; Earl Dean Blackburn, 35, Endicott, Ky., was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and public intoxication; Miguel Lopez, 18, Goshen, was arrested for illegal consumption and illegal transportation; And, Antonio Lopez, 19, Goshen, was arrested for illegal consumption. Krista Marie Price, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Price, Jr., of Milford had a cast remdVed from her arm Monday. The Ev Ganzs family moved into their newly purchased home on North Shore drive, Syracuse Lake.
