Nice to see Betty Brammer back on her feet following a three-week stay in the hospital at Anderson, and Nancy Searfoss back from a trip to the Mayo clinic. Stout Boutique owners Jean Rogers and Bonnie Workman have returned from a week in the south where they attended the Craftsman Fair at Gatlinburg, Tenn. There are two Charles Harrises and both of them are building south of Syracuse Charles Harris, the mortician, has built a beautiful new funeral home on road 13 south of town, as most everyone is aware of, due to have a public showing sometime in November.

But what many do not know is the fact that the second Charles Harris is building a new house just west of the new funeral home. Good to see Joe Shewmon, 35 North Shore Drive, out and around following his heart attack and confinement in the Goshen hospital. A former township trustee. Joe can be depended upon to make his morning contribution at the breakfast club. Syracuse friends of Blanche Bates will be happy to know she’s happy and well at the British home, a retirement home at 31st street and McCormick avenue at Brookfield, 111., a Chicago suburb. She's 20 minutes from her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lionel Bates of 44 North Princeton avenue. Villa Park, 111., and is in close contact with them. Blanche was a good BPW member and a grass roots Republican. She would be pleased to hear from her friends here. You're not going to believe this, but with all this bit about chairperson instead of chairman, someone has suggested that the Mermaid Festival change their name to Merperson Festival. Does this, then, entitle the men to compete, and, if so, in what capacity? Bill Xanders takes on the characteristics of a western "character*' with his old slouch hat. Asked where he ever got the thing, he replied, "At Broken Bone, Nebraska, at Slim's Men's Store." Evelyn (Mrs. Arden) Koontz writes us a note from Fort Myers where she is employed at Walgreens Drug Store in the Edison, and invites friends from the “cold north" to drop in and see her She'll be remembered as a former employee at Thornburgs in North Webster. A real funny man is going to appear in the area Friday and Saturday night. The Cove Inn has booked Grinny Grinstead, the Goshen pantomimist and overall comedian, beginning each night at 9 p.m., according to Dorothy Hunziger. He's coming here following a long engagement in lowa. Dorothy (Mrs. E. W.) Frauhiger of Kale Island was surprised Sunday to read about her brother-in-law, Marvin P. Mann, of Goshen having a handmade motor home which he built in 1926. In an article written by James C Miller, formerly of Goshen, he details the progress of the mobile motor home to what it is today. The state real estate exams must be toughening up. says one who should know. Asked why, he commented a local man just flunked it for a third time. The Front Street bridge that has been declared unsafe, might not be all that unsafe, but town fathers just can’t take the chance and allow traffic to continue over the bridge. It should be noted that the bridge was rebuilt and raised in 1966 with funds from the Greider estate. As a result the bridge was renamed Greider Memorial bridge. It was originally called "Hunkie Bridge", for reasons we should let at rest. After what an ethnic crack cost Earl Butz, we should comment no further on this. Curtis TV is ready for Halloween with a pumpkin beaded figure in the front window watching a television set. Note: he has a current issue of ‘the paper* in his lap. Jerry Claybaugh says, "We'll just call him Fred Curtis." Jerry adds, "Watch our window for a Thanksgiving display."

Boggs reports re-assessing is underway Palin township trustee Donald J. Boggs stated this week reassessment has started in Plain township. Mrs. Dale Graham and Mrs. Terry Lynch are working in Leesburg. Another team under Mrs. John Shidler, is working on the north and east side of Tippecanoe Lake. Only information is being gathered at this time. Values will not be known until the state manuel is accepted and signed. Plain township, says trustee Boggs, will have very little to no increase in taxes from reassessment as long as the option tax stays on. The township, with the option tax on, is frozen at $20,071. Other county tax units are also frozen with a fixed figure. Boggs continued by saying. “We can not spend any more than this amount even though re appraisal, or reassessment as we call it. doubles in value. Our rate would drop to one half the present rate. "However, with the option tax taken off we would raise from our 1977 rate of $4.65 per SIOO of assessed valuation to the state frozen rate of $6.11 per SIOO of assessed valuation It was frozen in 1973 when the sales tax became effective. “This increase, times the township valuation of $12,557,990, could add $183,346 tax cost to the residents of Plain township on this basis for county and state taxing units that we pay on each year.” Unemployment claims down Claims for unemployment insurance filed during the week ending October 16 totaled 53,298. down 4.5 per cent from the weekbefore number. John F. Coppes, director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that the decrease in initial claims was nearly statewide following the previous week’s increase because of the availability of a new quarter’s wage credits and secondary effects of the automotive strike. Regular continued claims numbered 30,257,. up 5.6 per cent over the week-before figure, due to previous layoffs. Extended benefit continued claims at 6,524 were down 6.3 per cent Supplemental unemployment assistance claims showed a drop to 5,198 from 6,613 the week before. Mr Coppes said that the claims total was 50 per cent under that for the comparable week a year ago. Car of Webster couple damaged in accident Paul E Ringer, 69. of Warsaw, driving a car belonging to the Albert Hammans of North Webster, collided with a Warsaw city truck operated by Mario Sahagun, 53, of Warsaw.
