Walk-in sale hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day. The public is invited. Mrs. Fought was a Beeline She has plans for a pony By JOHN SINOR Copley News Service The youngest chick has entered a contest to win a pony. She is convinced she will win. (And if my luck doesn’t get better, she probably will.) I said: “Where in the world would we keep a pony?” She said: “It could live in the back yard.” She did a little horseback riding this summer, and now she almost HAS to have a horse. I said: “Well, don’t count on winning too much. There are

representative for eight years before being injured in the accident. She spent many months in Parkview hospital in Fort Wayne where she had to undergo extensive surgery. Mrs. Fought is now recuperating at her home but still makes trips back and forth to the hospital for further treatment. The representatives of the Beeline company would like to show their desire to help by donating all proceeds from the walk-in sale to the Gloria Fought fund. The fund has been established at the Ligonier bank. probably thousands of other kids trying to get their claws on that same pony.” She said: “SOMEbody has to win.” And, indeed they do. (Why else would I keep clipping out those “SIOO-a-week-for-life” coupons?) She said: “If I win, I hope it’s a pony that can think. The one I had this summer couldn’t think at all. No matter what I tried to get it to do, it just did whatever the horse in front of it did.” I said: “Maybe your horse just decided he wasn’t going to have a 7-year-old muffin tell him what to do, even if she did have degrees from nursery school, kindergarten and the first grade.” Horses are not so common these days. For many of today’s children, a horse seen on a rider in the country is an event. “Hey, look over there! A horsey!” However, I go back to the days when horses were on the streets. Not clear back to the horse and buggy days, but the man who sharpened knives had one to pull his wagon. The fruit and vegetable wagon was pulled by a horse. And now and then a few gypsy horses drawn wagons would go by. (How do gypsies get around now? In station wagons? VW buses?) In fact, I spent an entire summer on horesback. In a high, hidden valley in the Ozarks of Arkansas. The children back there — my cousins — had never seen a car until the day we pulled upWe rode horseback to the store. Two, sometimes three, kids per horse. And we traded eggs for groceries. (I mean, this was pretty DEEP into the Ozarks.) Horseback riding. Coon hunting in the moonlight. Fishing in the stream that ran by the back porch. Reading by kerosine lamps. By the end of summer, all my cousins wanted to move to

the city. And I wanted to stay in the hills. I said: "Well, the horse you had this summer wasn’t necessarily dumb. He was probably taught to follow the horse in front of him. That’s a fol-low-the-leader horse.” There’s another kind of stable horse, too. The kind I always get. The back-to-the-barn horse. Get on THAT kind of a horse at 7 o’clock in the moiling for an hour’s ride, and you are back in the stable by 7:15. As soon as that horse gets out of the wrangler’s sight, he turns around and heads back for the hay. He isn’t interested in an hour’s ride that early in the morning. He wants his sleep. You couldn’t call that kind of horse exactly dumb, either. She said: “When I win the pony, can I get a cowgirl’s outfit? A red hat and a vest, and some boots. I could even get them NOW and be all ready when the pony gets here. I could ...” I said: “Hold it! Let’s wait until you win the nag, OK? You know, something might slip up, and somebody else just might win.” She said: “I can hardly WAIT!” The wrangler said: “Son, if you don’t want to come back to the barn all the time, you have to show that pony who’s boss. Kick the blame fool with your heels.” I said: “Son, what if the blame fool decides to kick me with HIS heels?” Sanitary landfill grosses *2,696 in September The Noble county landfill, which opened officially on September 4, has grossed $2,6% during the first month of use. The amount was reported to the meeting of the Noble county council cm Tuesday, Oct. 2. The council also allowed an additional appropriation of $25,000 to go towards operation costs for the year.

Here’s some good news in a nutshell For all you peanut eaters who can t stop with just one — here’s good news — there’s a peanut surplus. This is good news when we are confronted each morning by news headlines of shortages in fuel, gasoline, meat — and now the most recent forecast —a milk shortage is predicted. Even though George Washington Carver (the Mississippi black researcher) figured out how to make more than 300 products from peanuts, ranging from ink to soap and ersutz coffee, peanut consumption and use haven’t kept pace. For example, in the period 1966 71, national output bounded ahtt d by 116 million pounds — national consumption and use increased by only 21 million pounds. The nation’s peanut farmland is 1.6 million acres. These are allotments on “historical basis” — meaning, only land that was devoted to peanuts three decades ago can be used for peanuts today. Today’s great surplus stems from (in spite of these constant 1.6 million acres) use of new fertilizers, pest killers, and irrigation. Twenty years ago they were getting a half ton of peanuts per acre — today it’s a ton — tomorrow... it could be a ton and a half. The average American citizen eats about 7Vfe pounds of peanuts a year — this figures out to be about 3% pounds of peanut butter, 1% pounds of salted peanuts, pounds mixed with candy, and a pound of ball park peanuts — the kind sold in their shells. This surplus is giving the government some concern — the surplus cost the taxpayers 70 millitxi last year in subsidies, is expected to cost them about $537 millitxi over the next four years — and to many people, this isn’t peanuts. e Agriculture researchers are trying to figure out new uses — like, high-protein flour for cookies that doesn’t taste like peanuts, (many query, “What’s > wrong with that?”), plasterboard from pea iut hulls, and ways to squeeze the peanut oil from peanut', and then refill them with water. This would take out calories and presumably open up new markets among weightwatchers. So, all in all, it’s good to know that for a person “hooked” on peanuts, and unless there suddenly develops a salt shortage, we can be assured of ample salted peanuts this winter as we watch football on TV.
