Syracuse-Wawosee Rotary Club hears Levernier, Long, others

The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club, which meets each Tuesday noon at the Beacon Restaurant, has heard some interesting programs the past few weeks. Two weeks ago, Paul Levernier, who was in charge of the program, told a fish story. He introduced and commented on a film about catching the Chinook salmon. The lures used each year change because it appears the fish get smarter and smarter. A great deal of excitement is generated in this specialized fishing, said Levemier. He added skill is needed to catch these fish because of their enormous size. Last week, Ken Harkless introduced Merl Poling who introduced Glen Long of the United Telephone Company. Long showed a film strip and commented on the subject, “Is Monopoly always bad?” He explained the development of the phone systems in this county and outlined some of the competition which has come about lately in the industry. He said the phone company, being a regulated agency, often finds it difficult to compete with others who do not operate with those limitations. The largest Most area trustees seek re-election ' Only one area trustee, Charles Mikel of Jefferson, is not seeking re-election for his post. Mikel has sought to retire for the past several years; however, no one could be found to take his place. This year Harland J. Wuthrich of r 2 Milford has filed on the Republican ticket for the post of Jefferson Township Trustee. Trustees who seek re-election are as follows: Walter Wuthrich, box 487 Milford, Republican, Van Buren Joseph D. Shewmon, 35 North Shore Drive, Syracuse, Republican, Turkey Creek John J. Kussmaul, r 1 Leesburg, Republican, Tippecanoe And, Donald J. Boggs, r 1 Leesburg, Republican, Plain. Odd as it may seem, Jefferson Township is the only area township where a Democrat seeks election. Merle R. Holden, r 2 Nappanee, has filed for the post of Jefferson Township Trustee on the Democratic ticket. Advisory Boards Republicans filing for advisory boards from the above areas are as follows: Tippecanoe — Jerry L. Rhodes, William E. Metcalf, Roger E. Lein set ter Turkey Creek — Virgil Bobeck, Harry D. Alfrey, Jackson D. Ridings Van Buren — Harold Young, Robert Beer, Merril J. Rink Plain — Karl Oscar Stookey, Kenneth Everest, Gary LaMar Tusing Jefferson — Charles A. Mikel, Dale H. Berger, Harold E. Wilson No Democrats have filed for area advisory boards. Mail frauds are under investigation The postal inspection service currently has under investigation more than a score of major mail fraud operations. The printed material involves such solicitations carefully designed to convince the average person that the solicitation or service is factual and legitimate. In talking with the Milford’s officer in charge Don Graves, this reporter learned there is a brochure posted in the lobby and a form available for the patrons to stop any mail they do not want delivered. It’s hard to stop the phony mail because they can buy mailing list from different sources. “If there are any to our knowledge we refer them to the postal inspection office. The Syracuse assistant Postmaster, Kenneth Willard, commented that they haven’t had any complaints from anyone as far as he knows.

Mrs. Marian Alton, wife of Bishop Ralph Alton, will be guest speaker for the United Methodist Women’s “Day Apart” on April 18 at Oakwood Park.

area of canpetition the phone companies experience is in the area of specialized common carriers that offer lower rates between big city routes and in the area of telephone equipment.

Community Forum On April 18, the club will serve as a community forum fa Dana Capaation to explain its recent merger with the Weatherhead Company in Syracuse. The entire Beacon Restaurant will be turned over to the club and town board members and other community leaders will be invited to attend. Trouble ahead By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec. Dimpled cheeks with chubby feet and fingers may endear a child to some people, but recent studies in nutrition have shown they can mean trouble ahead for the child himself. “Baby fat” does not automatically disappear when a child grows older. If he is accustomed to eating a lot of food or the wrong kinds of food, he will continue to do so as an adult. Many children seem to enjoy small, frequent feedings rather than three large meals a day, Mid-morning, afternoon snd evening snacks need to contribute other nutrients in addition to calories for energy. A piece of cheese or a glass of milk provides important amounts of calcium, protein and riboflavin as well as calories for energy needs. Strips of cooked meat, peanut butter and bread, pieces of hard cooked egg, fruit and vegetable slices or juices, whole grain breads and cereals are a few other suggestions for snacks. Children learn by imitating those around them, and eating habits are no exception. The influence of television is apparent in one study in which parents reported which foods their children specifically asked for in the store. Number one on the list was sugar coated cereals, second was candy. Parents who are concerned about their chi Ids health can refuse to buy these foods with “empty calories.” They can provide a good example by choosing wholesome foods such as an egg or whole grain cereal for breakfast rather than a cereal containing a large amount of sugar, or an apple for a snack rather than a pastry or candy. A variety of foods from the Basic Four Food Groups will provide essential nutrients. Milk, two-three cups; Meat, two or more servings; Fruits and Vegetables, four or more servings; Breads and Cereals, four or more servings. A rule of thumb for serving size is about one tablespoon of food for each year of life. A child’s eating habits are learned, so it is important for those who feed them to teach the value of nutritious food. The patterns learned early in life effect the health and well-being of the adult he will become. “Your Changing Lifestyles” will be presented Wednesday, April 12, at 7 p.m., at the county extension office. The guest speaker will be Miss Marcedis Wynns, extension home economist — Human Development, Saint Joseph County. This program is open to the public. “One dog barks at something: the rest bark at him." Chinese Proverb

Letters to the editor

Letter to President Carter

Dear Editor: President Carter faces judgment. I read an open letter to the President of the U.S. edited in a spirit pf humility, prayerfully and respectfully by Ernest L. Miller. Mr. President, as a born again Christian, you know that Communism is the anti-thesis of Christianity and the two cannot coexhist. You and the government can not serve God and Satan at the same time. You cannot pretend to be doing God's will and hobnob with Omar Torrijos. a bloody terrorist dicta to*, who shot his way to power and has been involved in Panama’s huge drug industry. Mr. Carter you are a puppet of Communism. You are an agent of world revolution and will use Castro and Torrijos to defeat America, as Soviets are using Castro s troops to Conquer South Africa. Sir the destiny of this nation, the survival of Christian Civilization, and the lives and souls of untold millions are in your hands. Mr. Carter you have a God given opportunity now to appear

on National TV and repent before God and apologize to this nation for the aid you have given the enemy, and the lack of support to our free allies. Your repentance could Precipitate the greatest revival the world has ever known. You could go down in history as America’s greatest President. May the Holy Spirit give your soul no peace until you do. Millions of Americans are praying that you will do just that. We are aware that you are under great pressure from several big banks, that have been financing Communism. If America can keep the Panama Canal it would strengthen our defense, and help economy. But if Mr. Carter gets the U.S. into World Government under Communist control the National Police will take our guns, bank accounts and property titles.
