‘Learn not to burn’ chosen Rre Prevention week theme •'Learn not to burn” is the theme for Fire Prevention week which ends October 9. with its sponsor, the National Fire Protection association, encouraging people to learn about causes of fires and how to protect themselves against becoming a statistic. NFPA president Charles S. Morgan states that carelessness, disregard for established fire prevention policies and ignorance account for many of the 1.3 million buildings which bum each year. Such fires cost some 3.3 billion dollars annually The leading origins of fires are electrical, smoking and matches, heating and cooking equipment, open flames and sparks, children and matches, flammable liquids, lightning and chimneys and flues. To control such fires, the NFPA suggests persons take sparking equipment, dimming lights and blown fuses as warnings Any defective electrical equipment should not be used, but repaired by experts or replaced Smoking in bed is a bad practice. The NFPA also says to let ashes cool overnight in large ashtrays before discarding them Heating and cooking equipment should be kept in good working order, free of grease and well away from furnishings such as curtains and bedding which catch fire easily. Keep away from combustible furnishings and guard against clothing catching fire around open flames and sparks Older children should be taught the proper way to dispose of matches and the way to light them By keeping matches and lighters out of the reach of young children, they cannot play with them Store only minimal amounts of flammable liquids and keep the containers away from pilot lights, open flames and children's reach Property can be protected from lightning with a lightning system. Also if a person is outdoors during an electrical storm he should get inside a building, car. dense woods, or ditch. And all chimneys and flues should be kept in repair and cleaned each year.

“ROLLIN’ ON THE RIVER??” — The above picture shows exactly what it looks like to travel down the Colorado River in a raft. This inflatable boat, measuring 37 feet in length and 15 feet in width, is actually encountering one of the calmer areas along the route.

Colorado River is . . . anything but relaxing

By BRUCE BULTEMEIER Jerry Claybaugh. manager of Curtis TV and Appliance. Syracuse, has just experienced, on a recent vacation, what most of us only dream of doing. He spent nine days "shooting the rapids" of the Colorado River in a raft, seeing the Grand Canyon from the bottom up. This unforgettable excursion, conducted by a private firm, began on Saturday, Sept. 11, with the two rafts leaving Lee’s Ferry, Ariz., and arriving the following Sunday. 285 miles downstream at Lake Mead In between were 201 rapids to conquer. 171 major ones (major rapids are rated on a scale from 1-10, in order of increasing severity.) Approximately 30 people made this particular journey. Five to six hours per day were spent on the water, with the remaining daylight hours used to exercise the legs on hikes which varied from at least one to three and one-half miles in length. Jerry saw many wild animals like bobcats, rattlesnakes, scorpions, long horn sheep, wild burros and bald eagles for the very first time. None of these wild creatures caused the group any trouble except for a lone skunk, responsible for clearing the camp one evening Its intent was merely to lick remnants of food off the cans from that evening s supper and upon being startled, raised its tail in defiance. The group, very wisely, backed off and the skunk remained calm. .As was mentioned, the group

Another order issued to stop

activities affecting wetlands

Alan J Schroeder, a Chicago attorney and land owner in the Lake Wawasee area, has received a letter from Colonel Melvyn D Remus, the US Army Corps district engineer, to cease all filling activity on his land which is separated from Donald G. Byrd’s land by the lake. Joe Graber, Carl Freel and Lawrence Firestone, hired by Schroeder to dig a pond, also receive notice to stop work on the Schroeder land. The letter states that filling activity is currently under review and that a recom mendation may be made to the justice department ‘concerning institution of legal action against responsible party or parties " Enclosed with the letter was a copy of the federal district judge Robert A. Grant’s August 1976 preliminary injunction issued against developers Byrd and Elder ordering developers to stop further filling of wetlands adjacent or contiguous to Wawasee Lake When copies of the letters were shown to Richard Ver Wiebe, president of The Association for the Protection and Preservation of Lakes and the Environment iAPPLE!, for interpretation, be stated. warning you

hiked every day back into the mile high canyon walls There they observed forceful, yet very beautiful waterfalls and even ruins of Indian civilizations consisting of huts built right into the rocks. The Colorado River, only about one-half block in width, retained a constant temperature of 47 degrees. Depth, on the other hand, varied constantly. The Hoover Dam controls the water flow, and depending on climate conditions, more water would be released one day than another. Jerry explained that one night the water level rose 20-25 feet, while dropping the same amount another evening, leaving their rafts marooned on wet sand. ■Die power and force of river rapids are extremely difficult to imagine for one who has never been in water rougher than Lake Wawasee on a windy day. The worst of all the rapids was affectionately called Lava Falls, because that's exactly what happened. The boats dropped 38 feet before the rapids even began. The churning water measured one quarter mile in length, yet it only took 13 seconds to get through. On the rating scale of 1-10. Lava Falls received a “14”!! The party never reached the falls until the seventh day, thereby allowing a disproportionate amount of anxiety and tension to build. Even though it never happened to this expedition, tragedy does strike. An average of four people a year are lost and more often

that the US Attbfney will go back into court.’’ The issue of forced government conservation of wetlands versus land owners right to develop land they are paying taxes on as long as they stay behind court established shorelines is presently being monitored by the US Army Corps of Engineers until congress takes action. Two bills are being considered in congress now One would give the corps jurisdiction over inland lakes, streams, creeks, rivers, etc., while the second would maintain no such restrictions.

200 expected at Pow-wow in Fort Wayne on November 20

Rev Edison Reynolds of the Fort Wayne Bible college has announced that over 200 Cub Scout leaders are expected to attend the “Spirit of 76” Powwow on Saturday, Nov 20 The conference is slated for Witmer hall, which is the traditional site for the annual fall event. Registration begins at 9 a m. The Cub Scout Pow-wow is designed to help put quality in the Cub Scout pack's monthly

than not. the bodies remain submerged, caught in the rocks, never to be recovered. These unfortunate incidents occur even though life jackets are always to 0 be worn If somebody should happen to fall overboard, that person is given but 15 minutes to live due to the temperature, rocks and current Without the jacket, well, you just better have one on at all times. If an injury does occur, requiring professional medical attention, like a broken leg or snake bite, the guides have radios tuned into the commercial airline frequencies. Jets passing over the canyon, in turn, relay the message and a helicopter is sent. At times, however, the boats are removed from the commercial flight paths. In this instance, mirrors are used to reflect the sun and red crosses are placed in the sandy bank, in hopes of catching the attention of some small aircraft flying over. The injured person and one guide are always left on shore while the other boats continue, in base no SOS is acknowledged. Jerry states that the most moving impression that prevails upon the novice "river runners” is the absence of people. Another person is never seen until the very last day. And the river guides so police the camping areas, that there is absolutely no sign of any debris of any kind. “You feel like you're the first people ever to see the area." Jerry reflects. Memorable, indeed.

Lake Wawasee wetland filling came in June when developers were trying to finish work before July 1, when the Phase II regulations would go into effect. Phase 11 regulations include government stoppage of any work that might have serious impact on water quality in any US waters. According to Dave Kimble, the US Corps assistant district council. “Wawasee is the only Indiana lake where there has been a legal confrontation. In some other places, the corps request has been sufficient to cause the people to back dff.”

program. This is the only chance to receive this training for 1976, which all Cub leaders need for their training awards. Instructors for the course are from the seven districts’ leadership development teams in the 11 county Anthony Wayne area council Main subjects for the participants to choose from are handicraft, games, skits and puppets, ceremonies, Webelos leaders, administrative and a session on how to be a den chief. Noon lunch is to be a catered blue and gold banquet A feature of the day will be a new Pow-wow book that will include all of those things that can help a Cubmaster, den mother, committee chairman, den leader coach and any other pack position to be successful in their jobs. Reservations should be made as soon as possible at the Scout office to be sure of receiving the new booklet as part of the registration fee.

Candidates . . . issues . . . y° ur d Ut y JOHN B. AUGSBURGER said today that the cost of Jimmy Carter's campaign promises should be staggering proof of irresponsible government spending programs advocated by Democrats in this election. Augsburger cited a recent study released by congressional leader John J. Rhodes on Carter’s promises and the cost of filling them. “The Carter program, if adopted, would amount to an annual cost of over $217.1 billion in additional federal spending by 1980 and almost a trillion dollars over a four-year period,” Augsbruger said. “This would mean a tax increase by 46 per cent to fulfill the Democratic programs.” The study by the house Republican policy committee, covered 27 specific Democratic platform proposals and 46 others for which no attempt was made to estimate the cost. “The American voters in this election must realize the consequences erf give-away promises issued by Democratic candidates running for all levels of government. Those consequences are higher taxes.” Augsburger further said that “The responsible and stable Republican leadership which we know first hand is our only hope of offering the tax relief so necessary for regaining the purchasing power of the individual and continuing to maintain our steady economic recovery. The creation of jobs in the private sector is fundamental to the key issue of unemployment ... not the creation of temporary bureaucracies." DON LEE, who is running for the post of US Senator from Indiana on the American Party of Indiana ticket, says the constitution specified that only congress may enact laws that it may not delegate its legislative powers. Therefore, though the president may issue executive orders to administer the executive branch of government, neither the president nor any other officer may create laws by executive order. AU such existing so-called laws should be dec'hyed void and further executive edicts forbidden. The alternative is tyranny. VIRGINIA DILL McCarty, Democratic candidate for attorney general, charged that her opponent, the incumbent attorney general, is attempting to cover up his “total failure of action” with regard to welfare cheating in the state of Indiana which is costing the taxpayers of Indiana S2O million per year. Mrs. McCarty pointed out at a news conference in Indianapolis that the attorney general's recent claim of activity did not reflect the true facts concerning the very minimal efforts being conducted with regard to welfare cheating and “runaway fathers.” Mrs. McCarty said that in January 1975 when the federal legislation was passed mandating the state of Indiana to initiate plans to crack down on runaway fathers and other welfare cheaters, the present attorney general did nothing to implement this program. "In fact.” Mrs. McCarty said, “it was not until the federal government threatened the state with the loss of approximately SBO million of federal revenue that the department of public welfare — not the attorney general — began a limited and totaUy inadequate program." Mrs. McCarty emphasized that based upon results in other states with effective programs, the taxpayers of Indiana could have saved some S2O million had the attorney general taken the appropriate action a year and a half ago. CONGRESSMAN FLOYD Fithian says he’s keeping an eye on Washington for Indiana veterans. “For 200 years we’ve counted on our servicemen and women when things got rough and they’ve never let us down. Now some of them — disabled veterans and the families of those who died in the line of duty — are counting on us. We can’t let them down,” he said in a recent newsletter to veterans. He comments on the cost-of-living squeeze, the unfair pension rules and says anyone with problems with the VA should call him. WAYNE CHAMPION was recently named Steuben county campaign chairman for John B. Augsburger, Republican candidate for state senate. Champion resides in Angola. He is a full professor at Tri State university and also owns his own insurance agency. Mr. Augsburger said he was delighted to have Champion working on his campaign. They have had a long standing friendship of 20 years. The 13th district includes Steuben. Noble, LaGrange and northern Kosciusko counties. Local businessman returns from D. C.
