ICgJZIN AROUND CU£fc

WHO SAYS this is a man’s world? At times it looks like a woman’s world, especially if one views who is in control at the court house in Warsaw. It came to our attention that women rule the roost in that haven of Republican power. Consider, for instance, the following: the Kosciusko county clerk is Jean Messmore, the recorder is Ruth S. Hoppus, the assessor is Avis B. Gunter, auditor is Jean Northerner and the treasurer is Kathryn Teel. Running for Wayne township assessor, with offices in the court house, is Cleora Cauffman, seeking the post held for a number of years by Garold R. Horrick. —o— THE EDUCATIONAL Awareness committee and or the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce, in its efforts to affect a greater involvement in community affairs, could do a real service by setting up a public meeting where the five candidates for the Lakeland School Board could be seen and heard. It would come off as a “Meet The Candidates” meeting, held at the school auditorium, or at any other place the candidates could agree on or that would accommodate a crowd that such a

meeting would most certainly attract. Candidates have a tough enough time meeting the people in the corporation they will represent if elected, and little or no real opportunity to present the real message of their educational philosophy. Such a meeting should be kept on a high plane, with no effort to embarrass any candidate, in spite of some hard questions that are sure to be asked. The running of our schools has become “big business” and very important when we think that the education of our important product” lies at stake. Either of the two above-named groups could do a splendid public service by arranging sucn a meeting. —o— LOCAL PEOPLE who failed to attend the Saturday open house of the Maple Leaf Feed Mill, located between Syracuse and Milford, cannot possibly comprehend the size of this mill, nor the size and scope of the Maple Leaf Farms, Inc., operation. The $2 million feed mill is computerized, clean, efficient, and represents a giant step in the growth of the Lakeland com-

munity. Marking its 20th anniversary, the mill’s open house gave the firm a splendid opportunity to “show its wares” to the local people. We cannot help but think that the company, manned by a young and eager group who doesn’t know the meaning of the word “no” and headed by, handsome, articulate Terry Tucker, is on the threshold of a burgeoning food market. What with $1 out of $3 spent for food now being spent by people eating out, and this figure is increasing, the market for duckling and Serenade Foods products has nowhere to go but up. Now employing 350 people, the firm has its sights on employing 500 by 1980. And you know what: we’re betting they’ll make it. —o— THEY’RE STARTING to leave for Florida by the numbers. On Friday John and Dorothy Stahly, North Shore Drive, will leave for their home near Sarasota, but in their pockets are paid-for tickets home for the Christmas holidays — “to be with those grandkids.” Having gone to Florida for many winters, they, friendly as they are, have a host of close friends in that area. John was a partner in Stahly-Stillson auto agency in Nappanee for years. —O’look FOR these moves: Sherry Keim plans to move her Little People’s Shop from Pickwick Place to the south half of the Wawasee Realty building in Wawasee Village. Work is now underway to accommodate the new tenant in the room and a half formerly occupied by Wawasee Turquoise. Then two established firms will be moving into the four-unit building located just west of the Overhead Door Co., and they are Radio Shack and Kathy’s Beauty Bazaar, the latter owned by Kathy (Mrs. Dallas) McKibben. Both Radio Shack and Kathy’s Beauty Bazaar are moving from their primary locations. Kathy hopes to move October 7, following a six-year period in her present location. Bill Pfeifferle of Marion built the four-unit building where Radio Shack and Kathy are

moving and as yet is unnamed. Other occupants there are The Sportsman’s Port and C. j.’s Melody Center. Pfeifferle plans to build other similar rental units in that area, we’ve learned. —o— WE HEAR: McDonald’s is taking a look at the Syracuse area as a possible site. Look for something along this line in the • spring. —o— THE NAME is Betty HARKLESS Appenzeller, not Betty HARTMAN Appenzeller. We thought everyone knew that, but it appeared in this paper incorrectly last week. Betty, whose fine one-person art show at the EUB Calvary Church Sunday was a smashing triumph, is the daughter of the late Herschel (“Pete”) and Madge Harkless, a prominent Syracuse family who resided for years on what is now W. E. Long Drive. Our apologizies to Betty —a fine person and an excellent artist.

Letters to the editor

The U.N. spends our dollars

Dear Editor: At the present count our government pays around 25 per cent of the regular UN budget. The majority of the other member nations individually contribute on the average only two per cent. The U.N. budget for 1976 — 77 was SBOO million. Dear Uncle paid S2OO million. Quite an unbalanced payment! Os course we are quite used to being unbalanced! But I am not through with my United money story: This 200 million is just the tip of the iceberg the tax concerned mariner can see. There are more budgets, and that is where dear Uncle feels the real pinch! Look out — sit still: The United States sank a billion dollars into this organization plus the S2OO million membership fee during 1976 and ’77. What did we receive in return for this great contribution? I am still wondering? This shameful world order has a long record of Legend being distributed Copies of the 1978 Legend are currently being distributed at Wawasee High School, it was announced by Linda Harkleroad, sponsor. Students no longer in the area should arrange to have their books picked up by a parent or friend. The following graduates have not yet picked up their books: Dan Bohnstedt, Stuart Bryant, Mark McDonald, Ken McMillan, Curt Singrey and Andy Wollman. Books not picked up by October 2 will be sold on October 3.

HUBE AND June Anglemeyer, 32 North Shore Drive, are expected home any day now from a trip into beautiful New England to see the fall colors. They scuttled plans to visit Nova Scotia, but had Maine, Connecticut and New Hampshire on their itinerary when they left town Saturday evening. They are making the 10-day trip with old friends. Sidney and Mary Katherine Sorg of Goshen and Nelson and Margaret Sorg of Elkhart. “TO HECK with jogging,” so says Phyllis (“Fifi”) Louden. When asked why she was down on this most popular pastime, she replied, "I tried it for a week, and gained four pounds.” She admits to having run a half hour each morning on the back roads around her North Shore Drive home, “and it didn’t do a thing for me!” Aside from respiratory therapy, it would seem jogging could do very little for her 5’6”, lithe 122-pound frame.

suppressing basic rights and glorifying tyrants! When will we ever learn our lesson? Human Rights! We had, as a nation, better, and that right now, learn what is the true meaning of this term. Most of us are concerned about high taxes and run-away inflation. Why not begin balancing our budget and pay a bit on our towering national debt by shutting off this stream of money going down the rat-hole? Yes, even just pull up stakes and get ourselves out? When will we as a nation awaken to what the U.N. is all about? America needs to get wide awake on so many serious issues — It’s later than we think! October 24 is U.N. Day. We should view that day as a United Nations Day of Shame! We need to tell it like it is! What is your thinking on this matter? Clayton J.
