People in the News Alice Rinker keeps on eye on North Webster, nation

By LESLIE WHITMAN Sitting in her office at Rinker's Department Store, downtown North Webster Alice Rinker can keep an eye on all that goes around her. And, keeping up with what is vital to her, the town and the country is important to Mrs. Rinker because she says, "we still need to do some doing." Mrs. Rinker and her husband Thurman have owned Rinker's Department Store for 12 years. She has very strong views on a variety of subjects, ranging from North Webster, to the ERA, to education, the church and politics. This keeps Mrs. Rinker very busy, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She says, "I try to keep up with it." Mrs. Rinker originally comes from Anderson where she was born and raised. Then, 12 years ago, she, her husband and children moved to North Webster. Her opinion of the town? "I love it." A Moving Community Alice feels North 'Webster has changed a great deal since she has lived there, and all for the better. She said, "I think It's a moving community." Even with all the changes, however, she said North Webster could still be better yet. She said, "we've been slow in taking advantage of the things that we paid for anyway." She feels North Webster could be promoted more to its advantage, without turning it into a tourist trap. "If you don't promote, you're going to change anyway. If you can plan ahead, you can change tor the better." This way, she feels the townspeople can have a say in the changes in their community. One way North Webster could be promoted to its advantage, says Mrs. Rinker, is to make use of its natural resources — the lakes. She said, "1 have visions of boat tours on the Barbee chain of lakes." Center Os Attention Mrs. Rinker also feels more could be done within the church to make it more of an asset to the community. She said, "a church needs to be more than a church. It's the center of attention, the center of all things that happen in a town." She said the church is vastly needed in North Webster to pull it together. "We need a growing together someway, need to pull together." She hopes a pastor can be found to pull the town together seven days a week, and not just on Sundays. ERA Supporter Mrs. Rinker has strong views on another subject which interests her — the ERA. She said, "for some reason or another women don't want to get involved. I hate to see the wasted talent." She said this Is especially true of women past age 50. She said they are the ones with time on their hands to see what's going on and to possibly change things. She said she hopes the E RA will help some of these women. "The ERA will be the biggest boon to women If it

mk i i' . Jflfl ‘ mm fyjl ALICE RINKER isn't too long in coming." She added that she isn't a radical supporter of the E RA, but feels that both the radical and conservative ends are needed for ERA to pass. "I think you have to have a radical end and conservative end to something to come together in the middle." Mrs. Rinker feels education and work are the only real answers to the world. She said, "education is still the answer." She said more concentration should be placed on education in the elementary level and not at the college level. She said, "1 think you should give pre-school children independence and intelligence." She said this should be done at the elementary level because most children are formed personality-wise by age 10. Mrs. Rinker added that work is also important. "Work to me is the only answer to living in this world." She said that jobs are out there, if people would just go out and look for them. She added that the lack of apartments in Kosciusko County has added to the lack of employed in the area. Alice Rinker also feels something is needed in the politics of the country. She said, "I think the country needs back somef inspiration, tree enterprise and the thinking mat a young person can be president if he wants to." Mrs. Rinker is an optomist at heart, even while she can see all the things that need changing. She says, "I can see the future here of so many things that can be done." With a little help and time, hopefully Mrs. Rinker can see some of her dreams come true.
