DO YOU believe this weather? Last Friday we were snowed in — few people residing in the country went anywhere as high winds and snow caused drifts. Complicating matters was the tact the temperatures were at the zero mark and the wind chill factor made it minus 45 to 50 degrees outside. As we write this column (Tuesday p.m.) it b 45 degrees outside and the snow is melting. ONE INTERESTING story which came out of Friday’s snow b the way Rick Fiechter of r 4 Bluffton and Beth Ann Beer of r 2 Milford got their marriage license. The young couple was married on Sunday. However, the snow storm complicated matters. The couple applied for its marriage license on Monday with plans to pick it up on Friday. Then came the snow. The courthouse was closed. What to do! A call was made to county clerk N. Jean Messmore who agreed she would meet the Beers at the courthouse so the license could be picked up. Other complications? The Been couldn't get out. What next? Maurice Beer could get out and it was Maurice who made the trip to Warsaw and returned with the license The wedding took place on Sunday as scheduled. Memories . . .

Bucher talks way to second place
By SUSAN BENNETT Don Bucher, r 3 Syracuse, talked his way to a second place finish in the "Discussion Meet" December 4 -through 6, at the Indiana Farm Bureau State Young Farmer Convention. Bucher attended the contest for the second time. The first year he was drafted into competition by Mike Zimmerman of Milford, Kosciusko County Farm Bureau president, who wanted someone from the area to enter. The three year fanner finished third in 1976. "This year I chose to do it again because I enjoyed it," Bucher explained. So he entered again this year, competed in district competition and two rounds at the state. “I made the finals but was nosed out," Bucher said. The competition is an exchange of ideas and information, in an effort to solve a problem. Bucher discussed the bureau's role in energy research and development of the different types of energy and the protection of personal property rights. To prepare for the discussions, Bucher read farm publications.

woman also competed. Gary Durkin of Hamilton County won the competition. Bucher said a lot of those who competed knew the facts of the subject but didn’t seem aware of the contest’s procedure. “Oh, sure I was disappointed," Bucher said of his second place finish, “because I thought I won it.” He found others felt the same way, when those who attended the meet came forward with their opinoins of the discussions. Bucher has been farming about 850 acres of corn and beans, assisted by his father Wayne. He tried working as a salesman after college, but tired of life away from wife Peggy and his family, which consists now of Brandon, three-and-one-half months and Shane, four years. He now says farming is what he intends to continue doing. But come next year, Don Bucher won’t be competing in the meet. He will have surpassed the age limit for the competition. “It’s just a good experience,” Bucher said of his two bids. “I’m glad I did it."
Christmas Discussion was also held on several articles of the bylaws. A total of 18 members and one guest, Dolly Price of California, were present. Gifts were exchanged. Hostesses were Dorothy Thomas, Rebecca Thomas, Lois Koher and Bonnie Bjella. The next meeting will be in January, when the annual white elephant sale will be held.
