Lakeland school board president Bill Little was spotted yesterday (Tuesday) as he paused to watch the Milford team work out. REV. KARSTEDT. who was in Milford on August 7 and 8 with his wife Mary Evelyn, daughter and a friend, sent a note to the Milford Cnited Methodist church. In the note he states. “We biked in (to Burlington) on Thursday afternoon just in time to join the Kokomo Wheelman (bicycle club) for an 11 mile ride Thursday evening. All in all, we clocked 263 miles of Indiana beneath our wheels." RESIDENTS OF Van Buren

AU precincts wUI be represented according to Dan Levernier. SPEAKLNG OF DAN Levernier. he was again honored by his company. The honors came at Midwestern United Life’s 28th anniversary sales convention held at Osage Beach. Mo. Levernier has been with the company since 1951 and is recognized as one of the company's most consistant personal producers. He is currently ranked seventh in new premium sales for the first seven months of 1976. He is one of the “Top Ten,” having been eighth in the entire company in net premium production during the convention qualification year. IN OCTOBER a new hair care center for both men and women will open in Milford. 45 Its name: the Headquarters. Steve Frantz, husband of the former Sandy Beer of near Our Town, will be the owneroperator. THIS IS the time for garage sales and we know of at least one woman in Our Town — Nancy Cumberland — who is delighted with the success of her sale! THE BEER family reunion was held last Saturday in the Milford elementary school gym. Local relatives and’ relatives from Ohio and Illinois attended the picnic dinner. Mr and Mrs Willis Ehnle, from near Tokyo. Japan, also attended Mrs. Ehnle is the former Lois Beer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beer. A song service and devotional talk were given, along with music and a rendering of a patriotic reading on the United States. THE CLARENCE Layne family has moved into the residence formerly owned by Frank Grove on Main street. The Layne’s moved here from Lydik three weeks ago today, ending their search for a house to buy. “This seemed to be a nice, quiet town," says Diane Layne. “We have quite a large family,” she said. The children are Terry, 14. Kenny. 13. Debbie. 12, Norma, 12. Carla, 11. Beth Ann. nine. Joe. eight. Diana, seven, and Anthony 14. The Layne's feel that Milford is a safe town for children and has good schools. Mr. Layne is a selfemployed housepainter. It would seem with the nine children in the family, persons who feared the Lakeland corporation would lose the basketball abilities of the Grove family should have these fears put at ease The Laynes should have some future basketball stars too!
Japanese life lived by former GI, local wife
"The Japanese people are extremely courteous and gracious to guests and foreigners," Willis Ehnle says, explaining his interest in the country and its people. “We find that people who come to Japan and live there find it difficult to leave Japan, in most instances.” So Willis returned to Japan with his w ife Lois, approximately 25 years ago. "I had become a new person through Christ. I felt that the gospel was worth telling others about." he said. Ehnle had lived in Japan when he served in the army. He then returned to the states for 14 months, when he married Lois Beer, daughter of Alice and Henry Beer. Milford. When the couple returned to Japan, Ehnle became the minister of a church eight miles west of Tokyo. He and wife Lois also are administrators of kindergarten and elementary schools which they have run at the church for the past 10 years. Teachers from America serve one to two-year terms assisting the Ehnles with the schools. The eastern culture is a contrast to our western culture, and is another aspect of Japan which the Ehnles appreciate. The custom of removing the shoes before entering a house, the household with everything neat and orderly, the straw floor mats with the guests seated on cushions as the individual meals are served, are noticeable differences from our lifestyle. “There’s a certain feeling of oriental royalty about it.” says Ehnle. The western culture is seeping in at Japan's larger cities, but Ehnle remarks that this is inevitable. One example he used was that of the kimono, which is practical for the tea ceremony, but impractical for the women who now work in the offices and businesses. The kimono is now reserved for special occasions such as New Year’s, Ehnle says. Working hours in Japan are longer, with quitting time at 8 or 9 p.m. and Saturday mornings But it is a “generally more relaxed pace.” says Ehnle, who commented that during business hours the people take a midmorning and mid-afternoon tea break. Ehnle has also noticed that the Japanese people do not work for the sake of success, but more out of company loyalty. Ehnle himself works several days a week in Tokyo part-time as a linquist for Steiner company, a Chicago based firm. He attended the International Christian university where he studied the language and social studies along with education As for the west influence upon Lakeland | School | Lunch il September 1-3 WEDNESDAY - Chilled orange juice, ravioli, tossed salad, bread and butter, apple crisp and milk THURSDAY - Creamed chicken on biscuits, mashed potatoes, buttered green beans, raw carrot circles, bread and butter, ice cream and milk FRIDAY — Fish sandwich, potato salad, sliced tomatoes, cherry cobbler and milk

the eastern culture. Ehnle says “I believe that we should not sorrow too much.” He believes that the people can preserve their culture while accepting progress. “I think progress is something that is desirable.” But Ehnle has seen some changes in Japan, remarking that when they first lived in Japan they missed ice cream and “other things we were accustomed to growing up.” Now, ice cream and other American items are available. “When we went to Japan,” Ehnle explained “we went with the idea to live like the Japanese, to acquaint them with Christ.” The Ehnle s have four Japaneseborn children Tony. 19; Jay. 18; Thomas. 13; and Jewel. 10. The two oldest will attend college in the United States this fall, as the Japanese colleges require use of their language, which the children speak, but do not write as well. The Ehnle's return every four to six years for a visit with their stateside relatives. “We miss the contact with our own culture and country." Ehnle says adding that they almost tend to think of the states as a foreign country But during their life in Japan. Ehnle says, “we reverted back to the ways and things you grew up with. And we miss many of these things " I Leesburg and Warsaw youths booked Monday Donald Miller. 23. r 1 Leesburg. _ and Mike J. Hively. 19. 911 East Garfield.

Special interest lobbyists once again are turning on the pressure in Washington as the house nears action on a comprehensive estate tax reform bill. Those of us who have fought for fairer estate tax laws in recent months are determined to do all we can to counter the influence of these professional arm-twisters. American families have waited long enough already for changes in the inheritance tax code, and their interests shouldn’t be bypassed now. Doing battle against the entrenched special interests and their army of 1.900 reported lobbyists isn’t easy, though. One analyst has estimated that there are actually 28 times as many lobbyists on Capitol Hill as congressmen. In sheer numbers alone, their influence can be almost overwhelming. Right now, activities of lobbyists can be pretty well hidden from view. Back in 1946 a law was passed providing for reporting of some lobbying expenses, but it is full of loopholes and can be easily avoided. That's why I'm co-sponsoring the lobby reform act of 1976, which would impose tough restrictions on all types of organized lobbying activity. This bill would: — require lobbyists to disclose all contacts with congressmen and their staffs; — make special interest lobbying groups file complete reports on how much they spend trying to influence congressmen; and — impose prison terms of up to two years and fines of up to SIO,OOO for individuals or organizations convicted of trying to conceal their lobbying activities Only professional, full-time lobbyists currently need to

register and report their spending. Multi-million dollar public relations campaigns designed to put pressure on congressmen — such as Big Oil’s attempts these days through advertising to drum up support for higher oil and gas prices — are totally exempt from the present law'. Some lobbyists, to be sure, perform a valuable service. They provide useful information to members of congress and staffs, and frequently they have expertise in specialized areas which can help us in shaping legislation. But we don't need to hear any more from the special interest lobbyists now on the estate tax reform bill. An extraordinary number of ordinary citizens have insisted on the need for this legislation, and I think that it's time for congress to stop listening to the special interests and start hearing what the people of America have to say about their government and laws. As part of our effort to clean up Washington, we need to crack down or the influence peddlers. Estate tax reform is overdue, and the moneyed special
— THE PROPOSED U. S. PANAMA CANAL SURRENDER — IS TREASON The HAY-BANAU-VARILLA TREATY between the United States of America and the Republic of Panama was formally signed by the two named governments on November 18.1903 Terms of the new Treaty obligated the United States to finance and construct at the then cost of 5375-MILLION U S Dollars, a locked canal across the Isthmus of Panama with the resultant Zone area to be maintained, administered and MILITARILY
DEFENDED by the United States of America Thus by Treaty, the Panama Canal is the Western Hemisphere s most direct, strategic waterway linking maritime traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans The bi-lateral Treaty granted the United States the right "IN UNINTERRUPTED PERPETUITY" to occupy, use and control a five <5) mile strip of land on either side of and paralleling the entire length of the Canal, thereby guaranteeing United States sovereignty over the prescribed Canal Zone area. In return for said Treaty grant, the United States agreed to pay the Republic . of Panama an annual sum of $250,000 00. to be increased in 1936 to $430,000 00. with annual U. S. payments increased in 1956 to $1,900,000 00 in accord with International Law The Republic of Panama is currently controlled by a dictator whose military-coup regime is receptive to Soviet Russia s antiAmerican policies and dictates inimical to U. S security Obviously. such dual-controlled Panamanian government would pose a constant threat to the United States — indeed to the entire Western Hemisphere -by jeopardizing US. military defenses in event of war. whether on land or in deploying Naval vessels within the Canal itself Fortunately, terms of the original Panama Canal Treaty counter this potential threat by automatically providing the United States its Southernmost outpost for military defenses against Soviet Russia's avowed, long-range objective to control all global waterways and ultimately surround the United States with Communist installations and forces simi- • lar to that established in Castro s Cuba Although the United States has faithfully and fully executed each and every term of said Treaty, the Soviet aligned Panamanian government now proposes that the United States surrender its Treaty rights and ownership in and over the Canal — and tragically. almost unbelievably — this foreign mandated proposal is under negotiation by compromised internationalists personnel in U. S. Congress and high, appointive posts of U. S Government. The proposed treacherous Treaty is publicly approved by U. S President Gerald R. Ford. U. S. Vice President Nelson A Rockefeller, secretly negotiated and officiously signed by the foreign-bom. highly controversial, meddling collaborator Hgnry A. Kissinger, calls for U. S surrender of the American owned Panama Canal and its stipulated Zone area Shocked bv traitorous negotiations to surrender U. S. Treaty rights IN UNINTERRUPTED PERPETUITY" in the Canal Zone, IRATE. PATRIOTIC CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA forcefully protest such subverting intent and do now PETITION THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS to overwhelmingly defeat any and all proposals, foreign or otherwise, designed tq surrender to any alien government any U. S. Treaty rights that MIGHT infringe U. S. sovereignty and security in or over the U. S. owned Panama Canal and the designated surrounding Zone area clearly defined and set forth in the ORIGINAL HAY BANAU-VARILLA TREATY the United States Government is OBLIGATED TO FOREVER HOLD INVIOLATE' Mrs Margine S.

interest groups must not interfere at this point with the final steps toward passage of this good bill. Youths arrested in Warsaw A report of a loud party in progress at 212 Wedrick drive, Warsaw, and destruction of street signs in the same area led to the apprehension of four male youths by Warsaw city police early Sunday morning. The youths. Jim Bollings. 19. and a 17 year-old. both of Leesburg, a 16-year-old of Warsaw and a 15-year-old of Winona Lake, were later released to the custody of their parents. Milford sewer bills may be paid by month Milford clerk-treasurer Margaret Brooks said there has been some confusion since the last town board meeting as to whether or not sewer bills could be paid monthly. A discussion was held at the board meeting on changing the ordinance to include the wording that bills could be paid quarterly. This was tabled. The ordinance reads the. bills should be paid monthly. However, some residents of the town prefer to pay an entire quarter at one time. The town has been allowing this. The statements give town residents a choice of paying either monthly or quarterly. Citizens of Milford will still have this choice and may pay monthly or quarterly.
