He added, “We are going to do as much as we can to capitalize on a bad situation,” adding that long trips are out, but that their unit is still ideal for the trip of 60 to 100 miles. Bibler admitted to having cuts in orders, but anticipates no layoffs. He said, “Perhaps the story you are writing is a week premature.” Hear President Since President Nixon addressed the nation on the energy crisis Sunday night, rever-

berations have been going through the auto and RV industry, resulting in sharp daily declines in the stock market. Vega Corp., a fast-growing RV manufacturer located in Syracuse, is also making adjustments in their lines, but no real impact has been felt as yet, according to Sam Stimmel, assistant office manager. Robert Skillen, president, and Al Amos, executive vice president, are both at the Louisville show and were not available for comment. Stimmel said Vega is going to a larger unit and a smaller unit, but keeping everything in the middle. He said Vega has experienced no order cancellation. Frame Biz Down Sellers Manufacturing Co. on old road 15 north of Milford has had a small lay-off, of about 10 employees, but Perry McDonald, sales manager, calls it “normal | for this time of year:” Sellers manufactures frames and component parts for the RV industry and component parts for the motor home and mini home industry. This morning the company’s president, Howard (“Pee Wee”) Sellers, was not available for comment, nor was plant manager Louis Byland. The company normally employs from 26 to 30 persons. McDonald said he felt their cutback was due to a general fuel scare which is shaking the RV industry. He added, however, “this is a vibrant business and a lot of money is invested in the RV business. We don’t plan to lie down and die.” Mobile Homes The energy crisis has not been felt as acutely in the mobile home industry. Dave Troyer, general manager of Regent and Cambridge mobile home manufacturers, located on road 13 north of Syracuse, has had no cut back in orders. Troyer said there is a normal lay-off of employees at each plant for this time of year, and that they consider December and January “down months.” He said each plant has layed off approximately 10 to 12 employees. Regent and Cambridge are divisions of Monarch Industries. At Liberty Homes, a mobile home manufacturer of long standing in the Syracuse area, plant manager Darle Hoover states their factory which employs about 120 people, has had no cut back in orders. “As a matter of fact,” Hoover said, “we are experiencing a slight surge in business.” He said their 1974 models are being accepted wonderfully, but they are having order changes with more electric heat being used and in some cases oil for gas for heating. In all, it would appear the RV

industry will feel a pinch during the months ahead, particularly if there is gas rationing, but that the mobile home industry, if indeed it does feel a pinch, will not be as widely affected as the RV industry. RV manufacturing and mobile home manufacturing has become a vibrant part of the Lakeland area economy — more so in Elkhart county — and if there is a wide-spread lay-off right before Christmas, certainly it will be felt in retail shops. It could be a cold Christmas for many in more ways than one. Hickory — (Continued From Page 1) business: $7 million.

educational awards at the 52d* National 4-H Congress in Chicago this week. Miss Rapp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Rapp, is a high school senior and plans a career in home economics as a result of her 4-H experience. “Most of the food our family eats is either canned or frozen by me,” said the Kosciusko county girl. “I’ve found that preserving the food our family eats cuts the food bill in half. She grows many of the vegetables she cans in her 4-H garden and raises hogs in her 4-H swine project that end up as frozen pork for her family’s use. Miss Rapp, in discussing how she cut her family’s food bill in half, said, “Today, when I hear so many comments about high food costs, I wonder if people realize what they are paying for. Our society demands so many timesaving foods and I feel they fail to realize that they are paying someone’s wages to do this preparation for them. “I realize that we can all enjoy and use ready-prepared foods sometimes, but if we are looking for real economy, we will do most of our own preparation,” the winner explained. She has won her county’s food preservation award for six consecutive years and numerous state fair honors. Miss Rapp recalled a weather bulletin last winter that called for 10 inches of snow, high winds and falling temperatures in her area. She said her first thought was that her family would be snowbound, but that she felt reassured knowing that the family had a large supply of food in the basement of their home. Miss Rapp has been enrolled in the food preservation program all nine of her years in 4-H. An honor student, her other projects have included clothing, foods, flowers and home furnishings. Investigate break-ins at Lake Wawasee County officers continue investigation into two break-ins reported this past week at Lake Wawasee. Frank B. Clodfelter of Johnson Bay on the east side of Lake Wawasee reported a break-in at his cottage sometime between October 30 and November 23. Among items taken were a black and white television set, antique clock and a portable radio. Delbert Small of r 1 Cromwell reported to law officers of a burglary at his house, also on Wawasee’s east side, sometime between November 13 and 23 with loss estimated at $1,754. Taken from the small home, in addition to a number of miscellaneous items, were a television set, four guns, radio, typewriter, tape player, and an adding machine.
