July 5) but a lot of them have found that Noble Blocker has aready been there

This to Noble's big “thing.” selling those fish fry tickets. Well known thronghoat the county, he can usually be counted on to be the “point” in the sales effort. Insiders on the current NIPSCo strike are quiet about the extent of the hostility between labor and management, but look for a protracted strike. Federal mediator from Washington, in the case, says he won't return to the Chicago bargaining table until both sides are more conciliatory. Unhappy with the proposed eight per cent pay raise for the first year, there is a feeling strikers will eventually settle for less than this amount Meanwhile, strikers are going without the lush pay and benefits the company provides, and many are being forced U> take other jobs to feed their families.

Patrons of the Syracuse bank have no doubt noticed the paintings of various local artists displayed in the bank's lobby. All paintings are by students of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Stevens, who have been giving instruction to a local art class for some years. Mrs Ernest Bushong informs friends that the paintings on display are changed every two weeks If you haven’t paid any attention to them, better you do so now About the brightest thing in uptown Syracuse Friday p.m. was Mrs. E.

If so, you might be interested in the adopt-a-patient program sponsored by the Kosciusko County Mental Health Association. This program is designed to meet the needs of the patients in our state institutions and our county nursing homes. These people are often forgotten by friends and neglected by family or left behind when the family moves. They need new friends and the ‘‘adopters” are asked to be just that — friends.

There is nothing legally binding in the arrangement however, many adopters and patients remain friends for life. Adopters are assigned a patient either in an institution or in a nursing home and are asked to write letters, send small gifts and cards and visit if possible. Many patients have found a new purpose in life by simply having a new friend and knowing that someone cares about them. Mrs. James Weldy. 725 N. Lake St.. Warsaw, is the chiarman of this program. If you are interested in adopting a patient, contact her and she will provide you with more information and answer any questions.

Mrs. Weldy is also available to speak to any organization, club or group who would like to hear more about this program. Both male and female adopters are needed Mrs. Weldy may be reached at the above address or by calling 267-3833. Time does have away of marching on.
