My end of town is safe as far as flood waters are concerned, Green Peter Dam and Foster Dam stopped all flooding here. Many years ago the south part of town was under three feet of water but the dams have stopped all flood danger now "We had a two-inch snow fall December 11 — it lasted over night and only rain and more rain since then. "My hello to all friends, am planning once more on a trip back home. Last year’s auto accident put me in the hospital five days, intensive care, could have gone either way— then 18 more days in hospital ward and a

four week stay at my son’s home until my ‘nine* broken bones healed! As well as a brokim jaw bone and crushed teeth. . “I hope to see my friends in March. April and May." One picture shows the rising Willamette River sprawling over fields in North Albany. Oreg., which is 14 miles west of Mrs. Funk’s home ’ The second photo shows green fields which have become a sparkling lake. These fields are located 18 miles south of wherel Mrs. Funk lives. MR.

Jerry Giardell, held a formal opening of the new decorator furniture and antique shop on Friday, Jan. 23. The name given the shop is "Nana’s Radish.’’ We hear there is a story behind the name. As unusual as the name is, one has to wonder about how it was selected. Maybe we can find out later. AN UNAVOIDABLE result of the kind of severe winter weather we have currently experienced, is that cars get hung-up in snow and ice. > ' ■ i We'll take this opportunity to publicly ’‘thank’’ all those good neighbors who helped the snow's victims out of parking lots, drifts or “the ditch.” All efforts were greatly appreciated. MR. AND Mrs. Dennis Cory are in Marburg.

She is the charming young Miss from Colombia, S. A., who is visiting in the K. D. Jessop home WE UNDERSTAND Diane Kesler has a “stone dog." Can’t help but Wonder if it has a name yet since it was a Christmas present.

twice has been nominated for an Oscar. “The Hiding Place" is based on the Corrie ten Boom best-seller of the same title and relates her World War II experiences as a Dutch Christian leading an underground force intent upon saving Jews from capture by the invading Nazi forces in Holland.

O'Connell is cast as the ten Boom’s father. The story was before the cameras for more than four months, with the first month’s shooting confined to Haarlem, Holland (outside of Amsterdam) where the ten Booms lived. The balance of the story was filmed in England, with' the company first working in a London studio before moving to Lingfield, 50 miles distant. The latter location was at Hobbs Barracks which during World War II served as a headquarters for the Royal Women’s Army Corps. This facility was vastly altered to represent Ravensbruck, a Nazi death camp where thousands of women were to die before the Hitlerian holocaust came to an end.

Snow White lays groundwork for sound effects library

Many sequences of Walt Disney’s animation classic, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” soon to be re-released, nearly baffled the Disney sound effects department. Jim MacDonald, a sound effects man on “Snow White," and now head of the department, .recalls: “When we made SnowWhite’ we didn’t have a sound effects library, so we had to create all the sounds manually Some weren’t too hard; some weren’t too easy.” ’“For the waterfalls and running stream we put a crank with paddles attached to it into a box filled with corks. The cranking disturbed the corks and sounded like rushing water.” “Thunder was a little harder. We attached a phonograph pickup arm to a screen door frame. For the needle Jte substituted a wire coil that we soldered to the screen. The phonograph arm was connected to an amplifier which in turn was attached to a horn. When we played on the screen with tympani mallets we came up with the sounds you hear when the witch

1976 conservation l .. . program announced

The 1976 agricultural conservation program (ACP) has been developed for Kosciusko county. This program provides assistance to farmers (through cost-sharing) in performing beneficial conservation practices that would not ordinarily be performed. The program was developed by the Kosciusko county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee with the assistance of leaders from other agricultural agencies. , The program is basically the same as the 1975 program. An initial allocation of funds has not yet been received, but cost-share rates will range from 50 to 75 per cent on approved conservation practices. A list of the practices has been mailed to all farmers in the county. The initial sign up period of applying for cost-shares will last until the end of February. Applications can be taken after that time, but approvals can only be made while funds are available. t

is struck by lightning.” “The most challenging sound to get was the organ played by the dwarfs during the dancing sequence. We didn’t want to use an ordinary pipe organ, but something thai sounded more ‘home-made.’ We combed junk yards and second-hand shops forodd instruments, finally ending up with a five piece group.” “Several ocarinas were used, as were clarinets without mouthpieces, and trombones played with bassoon reeds.” "For certain notes we couldn’t get with the instruments, we filled syrup pitchers with different levels of water and mounted them in a circle. And with a rotating tympani mallet that struck each pitcher in turn, we set up the rhythm for the organ, and also got the eight extra notes we wanted.” “The sounds we devised for ‘Snow White’ became the foundation for our present extensive sound effects library.” In color by Technicolor, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” is being re-released by Buena Vista. It opens Friday at Goshen.

Applications wiU be considered and approved in the order of the practice priority and the conservation problem being solved. Practices popular under the 1975 program that were included for 1976 are: permanent pastures, sod waterway erosion control structures, and animal waste pits. Also available are forestry practices of tree planting and timber stand improvement. Lower priority practices include stripcropping and underground drainage systems. Local farmers that need financial assistance in performing conservation woriuon their land should apply for cost-sharing during the initial sign up period before any work. Funds will be limited for this program, so applications should be made early. For additional information, or if you have any questions concerning ACP, visit or call the Kosciusko county ASCS office.
