My impression of the Senate

Dear Editor: Last Wednesday, Feb. 23,1977, I went to Indianapolis to serve as a Senate Page for Senator John Augsburger This came about because of a previous article in The Mail-Journal, and I thought others might be interested in my impression of the procedings at the Senate. First, we were treated to a tour of the Capitol Building, where we saw Governor Bowen and met Secretary of State Conrad. Then we went into the Senate, which was already in session. We just stood along the wall until a page was needed by one of the Senators or to run a message for a staff member. (Boy, talk about tired feet.) My first impression of the procedure was disillusionment. I had expected a bunch of dignified men in pin-striped suits, sitting quietly, listening intently Boy. what a surprise

Library is nice place

Dear Editor I’m very concerned about the few parents that are taking their youngsters to our Syracuse Public Library (downstairs). Mrs. Bjella has gone out of her way to make it such a nice place for. the kids to come to. There, they get good, clean books and books on every subject. Every parent that cares how their child's mind developes should tring their kids into the library by at least age four to teach them how to use the books } how to take care of them and how to really enjoy reading. I’m afraid too many of us

There.were Senators walking around, talking and joking, and I even spotted one lady Senator eating crackers with Jimmy Carter peanut butter on them. How can anything get done in such a madhouse. I thought to ' myself. Later, I put the question to someone and learned that the Senators spent time together before the sessions, reviewing all the bills to be presented that day. Now, I understand how, even though not much apparent attention was paid, things did move along I believe it was very worthwhile and a day well spent. And I would encourage all kids, ages 13 through 18. to try to be a Senate or House page. I really did enjoy myself. Sincerely. Bob Hickman r 1 box4ll-H Syracuse. Ind. 46567

parents leave too much up to the teachers and the TV sets to educate our boys and girls. We take the easy way out and let them sit glued to the TV sets and too much of that isn’t fit for anyone to see Come on parents, show your kids how much you love them by introducing them to the world of books A special "thank you” to Mrs Bjella for her caring enough to make the Syracuse Public Library for the younger kids, a happy interesting place to come to.

Small appliances save energy

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN With cries of "save energy” all around the average person can feel guilty at the flip of a switch. Some of those feelings are unwarranted. Flipping some switches — those on small appliances — can actually help save energy Small appliances usually do an efficient job with little elec-

E claims Vitamin By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Many myths have been associated with viatmin E. Claims that viatmin E, given in large amounts helps increase sexual prowess, relieves arthritic pain, cures skin problems, prevents ulcers and treats heart disease have never been proven. Thirty years ago investigators found that depriving animals of viatmin E had serious side effects which varied in different species — muscular dystrophy in chicks, rabbits and guinea pigs; liver degeneration, growth retardation and reproductive failure in rats; and heart damage in claves. But lack of viatmin E has never produced these effects in humans. Vitamin E is a necessary nutrient which acts as a preservative within the body. Most common foods contain some vitamin E and adequate amounts are supplied by a wellbalanced diet. It is present in greatest amounts in vegetable dis, whole grain cereals, green leafy vegetables, and in seeds and nuts. Vitamin E has not been proven, scientifically, to have any of the miraculous Effects being claimed for it. Research will continue to learn more about the viatmin. So to insure good health, eat a well balanced diet consisting of the basic four and the body will be supplied with its needed amounts of vitamin E.

many of these small appliances use so little energy that they really return more than they take. An electric can opener costs only a penny a year to operate. The return is added convenience. The same is true of an electric knife which requires two cents worth of electricity a year. Two and a half cents operates an electric mixer. ) Even these small energy users should be used with energy conservation in mind. Money and energy can be saved by using small appliances wisely. Keep portable cooking appliances out of drafts to maximize efficiency. Always be sure appliances are turned off when not in use. Turning on your iron or electric rollers long before you need them wastes energy. Letting the radio and television run unneeded is a waste If energy is to.be used use it wisely. Otherwise turn it off.

niversary by 20 more years. Left, the Rink’s wedding picture from 1907; and right, the couple on their 70th anniversary. When the Rinks were married, Minnie’s sister died, leaving two little boys, six months and 5 years, Rollin and Virgil Rhinesmith. The Rinks then cared for the boys. Jacob was a farmer, and farmed and stilled mint for Christ Schrock, east of Goshen. Then in the 1930’5, Minnie was given her mother’s rug loom, so she would weave rag rugs and hang wallpaper for friends. In 1944, Jacob was cutting logs when a tree fell on him and broke both legs. While he was in bed, Minnie fell off a ladder while hanging paper and broke her shoulder. When Griffith Lumber Company burned at Goshen in 1948, the Rinks came to Milford when the lumber business moved to Milford. Jacob drove a team of horses for the lumber company. He later took care of the Milford Cemetery.

IF YOU put your mind to it you can learn something new each and every day of your life. The thing we learned today is worth passing on for those who are interested — “The word winter comes from an old Germanic word meaning 'time of water* —of rain and snow.** IT IS easy to tell street and water commissioner John Martin has spring thoughts on his mind. John traded his snow plow in for the street sweeper last Thursday morning. ARCH AND Della Baumgartner are back in Milford after a Mexican vacation. Both show the results of two weeks in the southern sunshine. BIG SAM Smith kept his promise to area residents last Monday night as he appeared on the 6 p.m. sports cast. He wore his MAD HATTER hat, a gift from the Milford Area Development Council (photo on page 1). The hat was his topic of conversation with weatherman Bruce Sanders. Smith even commented on the Wawasee Warrior button which someone thoughtfully placed on the hat. Big Sam also talked about the MAD banquet and of John Perry being named the "Citizen of the Year.” Perry was named for the work he has put into the organization of and the operation of the Milford Emergency Services. He is well deserving of the award. Others too, we find, are in agreement. When Perry arrived at Walter Drugs on Monday morning he found a sign on the front window which read, “Congratulations John!*’ LAST WEDNESDAY a record high of 59 degrees was recorded for the area on said date. The first rains of spring arrived later in the day and much of the snow was However, Thursday afternoon was a different story as snowflakes fell once again. Friday the skies cleared and a March-type wind blew across the area. The week end saw winter refusing , to give up and by

Saturday evening snow once again covered the ground. Monday dawned bright and sunny with much of the snow melting by evening and March arrived on Tuesday like a “cold” lamb. FAMILY MEMBERS and friends honored Mary Gunderlock last Wednesday at a surprise birthday party held in her honor. The party was held at an area restaurant with some 28 persons in attendance. Mary, one of the Augsburger team, was honored with a telephone call from State Senator John B. Augsburger as he too wished her a “Happy Birthday.” SPEAKING OF Augsburger, we recently found a new way for those who don’t know the two John Augsburgers to tell them apart. Their names are the key to their identity. John Z F. Augsburger is the “father” while John B. Augsburger is his “boy.” DON’T FORGET The Wawasee Warriors will meet Rochester in the 1877 sectional tournament Friday night at 7 p.m. Wawasee will be out for its second-ever--sectional win and if the Warriors come out on top they go directly into the championship game. With track, wrestling, football and baseball as well as other championship trophies it would be nice to add a basketball sectional trophy to the school’s trophy case. WHILE NO official announcement has come from the First National Bank as yet, there is a new face at the Milford office. According to the announcement made at the MAD banquet on Saturday night he will be replacing bank vice president Gordon Brubaker who is going back into the firm's Warsaw office. The new Milford banker and his wife were in attendance at the MAD banquet while the Brubakers were off to Ohio for a week end birthday celebration with their daughter Sandy and her family. ■
