School kids learn about old days

Fourth graders at North Webster Elementary School learned a bit of Indiana history last Wednesday, as they participated in Pioneer Days, with their parents and teachers. This special day was started three years ago as a project that would involve the parents plus teach the children as well. During the day, each student learned how an old one room school house was run. Keeps Kids Occupied Ruth Rowe, school marm, said, “The reason for the one room school house was to keep the school kids occupied.” Some of the activities the students participated in were: a spelling bee, pioneer play, tiedying with homemade onion stains, making clothes pin dolls, funnel cakes, dipping candles, frying corn mush, writing on a chalk board, writing with a quill pen and sewing samplers. The children made their own lunches which consisted of stew, Indian bread and corn muffins. Homemade candy and soap were also made. Long pioneer dresses and raccoon skin hats could be seen on students and teachers alike. Even mom and dad lent a hand in the activities by dressing in bonnets and hats. Besides Mrs. Rowe, other fourth grade teachers involved in the program were Greg Ackerman and Ann Haffner. Pioneer Recipe The following is the recipe to make funnel cakes, a pioneer days treat: Beat together one egg and twothirds cup milk. Add one cup flour, two tablespoons sugar, onequarter teaspoon salt, threequarter teaspoon baking powder and one teaspoon soda. Beat until smooth. Batter should be thin enough to run through a funnel. Put finger over end of funnel, add batter and drop from funnel into hot (350 degree) fat moving funnel in a slaw swirl. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve while warm.

Good 01' Uncle Sam

Dear Editor: We, as a nation, have been world renown for tur readiness to assist other nations in their troubles, trials and tribulations; possibly over spoon feeding them. We have now launched out upon another ‘Good Samaritan Project' (?) the two Panama Canal Treaties. The great question is: For better or for worse? It is a very controversial issue; with both sides building up strong support for their thinking. I, for one, am saying, “Sure, dear Uncle, give these poor people this jungle land, 10 miles wide and 50 miles from sea to sea including die Big Ditch we once labored to build." But when we come to think more deeply about this give-away package, are we really giving this real estate to Panama, or to that Big Red Bear lurking back in the shadows of the Panama jungles? As Shakespeare would have said, “That’s the rub!” To whom are we giving the Canal eventually?

■■■■l First Charter Insurance Agency HOW MUCH FOR THE HOMEOWNER? It is said that insurance is paying dimes for dollars. But a legitimate question for the owner of a homeowners policy is, "How many dollars will I receive for a casualty loss?" Coverage provided in nearly all homeowners policies carries a deductible provision. This means that the person holding the policy pays the first SSO or SIOO or more in damage or losses, and the insurance company pays the remainder. It is important to know that in order to be assured of full payment for any partial damage to your home, you must have it insured for at least 80 per cent of its full replacement value. For example, if your $30,000 home is insured for $24,000 or more, and a fire does $2,000 damage to your kitchen, you will receive the entire $2,000 minus the deductible. If on the other hand, your home is insured for less than $24,000, you will receive only a percentage of the $2,000, depending on how much the kitchen had depreciated in value prior to the fire. ***************,* > = This Information Has Been Brought To You As A Public Service By it wmmihhm ISlSSMllffii!liiiiiliilil Your One-Stop Answer To HKUnmnißl 1 " —< ' Complete Insurance Protection
