If no agreement is reached before the 1978-79 school year starts, teachers will start on the old salary schedule. Bargaining, which is required, would continue until some form of an agreement is reached. More Business One resignation and several recommendations for employment were approved.

Cline, Ray Darr and Donald and Roberta Ferverda. For the recreational program, Ned and Pat Speicher were approved for Little League at Milford; Robert Harkness and Tom Jones for Little League at Syracuse; and Tim Rhoades and Joe Ray for Little League at North Webster. At Wawasee, Rudy Cesco is the summer golf instructor. Other instructors and staff at Wawasee include: John Replogle, girls’ softball; Larry Shook and Gregg Minegar, baseball; Cindy Peterson and Linda Baumgartner, swimming; Dawn Price, tennis; Jim Webster, girls' basketball; and Michael Jones, boys’ basketball. The board approved the application of state funding for a survey to be conducted concerning adult education. This request was submitted a year ago, but was turned down because it involved the whole school year. Arnold said there was a chance funding could be obtained if the survey was conducted over a three-month period of time in the summer. Arnold said he feels this survey is needed. He said, “I think we need to secure information about the desires of adults in the community about programs they can participate in. We are asking for the state to assist in the funding of a survey of the community to determine needs of adults of education in the community.” Some of the areas Arnold would like to see covered in the survey include the self-interest, selfimprovement, no credit type of course; the drop out program; and providing courses which can be taken for college credit. Arnold said Indiana University branch at South Bend has expressed an interest in providing such classes at Wawasee. It is not known if funding can be obtained. Members merely approved the sending in of forms requesting it. An executive session followed the meeting. Next regular meeting is June 13.

MAD Day — (Continued from page 1) The volleyball tournament has been returned to MAD Day activities this year. It is no; limited to church groups. Those entered are Bruce’s Texaco.

Youngsters wanting to participate should report to Mr. Baumgartner prior to the startingtime. Route 5 added at Syracuse Starting June 3, a new route will be added to the Syracuse postal service area. Avon Bushong, Syracuse postmaster, says the reason for the addition of this route, to be called route 5. is that, “the Syracuse, Ind., delivery area is growing consistently as evidenced by all the construction of new homes, new businesses, large and small apartment complexes and expansions of present facilities. This tremendous growth pattern is and has been affecting the Syracuse Post Office.’’ He added, “As we all know, more business means more people, which will require mail delivery service.” The new route will be mailboxes located west of CR 29 and in the Dewart Lake area. Due to the new route, several of the existing routes had to be changed. East of CR 29 has been changed to route 1. Wawasee Heights and the village will be changed from route 2 to route 3. Also changed, route 2 will become route 1 in Elkhart County and route 3 will become route 2 from Crazy Corners to Wawasee Bowl. Ruby Bell will be hired as full time carrier to handle the new route, which consists of over 500 mailboxes. Bushong added that post office patrons located in Elkhart County served by the Syracuse Post Office should still use their grid system when addressing their mail.

Use containers

By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec. If you want the satisfaction of growing your own vegetables but don’t have a lot of space, grow them in containers. All you need is enough sun and space for a good sized container. Most vegetables grow well this way. Just look for the varieties that have been hybridized for container growth, or those that can be adapted to confined quarters. Some crops like corn produce large root systems and need a very large container. Other plants such as pole beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes will need to be supported. Container vegetables are pretty agreeable and make few demands when it comes to location. Absolute requirements are five hours or more of full sun, enough space to set the container, and adequate air circulation. Once you meet these demands, you can put the containers anywhere — patio, deck window box, walkway. If you don’t have any available ground space, you can grow vegetables in hanging baskets. Drainage can be a problem with this kind of gardening. With smaller containers, whenever possible use drip saucers to catch excess water. A large container without a saucer might be better off being slightly elevated rather than sitting directly on a solid surface like a cement or brick patio. If the container stays in

contact with a solid surface, water can accumulate, causing root rot. A six inch diameter pot with a soil depth of eight inches is the minimum size for vegetables. This size is good for lettuce herbs, peppers, radishes. Root crops, such as beets, carrots, radishes, and turnips, need depth and enough surface space to fill out to their mature size.
