Stork alive, well By MARY LEE WILLMAN The stork is alive and well and quite busy in Kosciusko County. As a matter of fact he is so busy he seems to be rather confused! At around 2:45 a.m., October 25, Susan (Ball) Stouder, Syracuse, was more than a little surprised when the stork made a crash landing that knocked her flat on the bathroom floor. The doctor said the baby (Mrs. Stouder’s second child) would probably arrive about the second week in November. For some reason. Mother Nature neglected to notify Mrs. Stouder. with any of the usual symptoms, that the stork was about to make a delivery. Mrs. Stouder, who's husband Bob is serving with the US Navy and is presently on a cruise to Japan, is staying with her mother, Sandra Ball at Syracuse. What started out as a usual middle of the night visit to the bathroom ended by increasing the population of Syracuse by one little boy. A frantic call was placed to the Syracuse EMS. Before they could arrive Mrs. Ball, who is a licensed operating room technician had to take care of the situation. Brian Charles weighed seven pounds, four ounces and was 19 and one fourth inches long. Getting a first look at his mother and grandmother from the inconvenience of the bathroom floor caused the little fella to protest loudly. The bathroom is so small that when the EMS ai rived it was necessary to place Mrs. Stouder and little Brian on a sheet and pull them into a hallway where they were placed on a stretcher and then transported to Goshen Hospital. Mother and baby are doing fine. Mrs. Ball is recouperating nicely. Brian has an older bi other, Richard.* age two and one half. Mrs. Mabie Stouder, Syracuse, is the paternal grandmother. Solomon Ball Syracuse, is the maternal grandfather. Mr. and Mrs. Lester McGriff. Leesburg, are the maternal great grandparents. Jess McGriff. Columbia City, is the maternal great-great-grandfather.

*ls million study conducted on Great Lakes pollution

The International Joint Commission (United States and Canada) was advised by a special study group this past July that the Great Lakes are being polluted from a wide range of land use activities as well as from the atmosphere. The Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG) conducted a fiveyear and sls million plus study on the Great Lakes Basin. They concluded that phosphorus, already a critical problem from point source urban areas, is reaching the lakes from uncontrolled land runoff and from the atmosphere. Other toxic substances such as PCB’s, mercury and lead are reaching the lakes from the land, usually in combination with sediments, and from the atmosphere.

Four ingredients for a safe dinner

For a delicious and safe Thanksgiving dinner, remember these four important points when preparing Tom Turkey for the oven: Always thaw frozen turkey in the refrigerator. If you must thaw it more quickly, put it in a waterproof plastic bag, seal it tightly and defrost it in cold water. Never thaw commercially frozen stuffed poultry before baking. Put it directly into the oven. Cook turkey thoroughly to an internal temperature of 180-190 degrees F. Never partially cook it for final cooking later. Bacteria can survive in partially cooked poultry. Cook stuffing completely. It’s' safest to cook it separately from

You may one day save the lives of your loved ones and protect yourself against disastrous financial loss if you avoid these fire safety blunders: • Don’t let rubbish accumulate. Be sure to inspect attic, basement, closets and garage regularly for these fire hazards. • Don’t leave small children alone in the house or leave matches and cigarette

Salmon wired for sound

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources, in an effort to save over SIOO,OOO, will monitor Chinook salmon and their attempts to swim over a dam on the Saint Joseph River near South Bend. The Indiana DNR plans to establish annual salmon or steelhead trout runs in the Saint Joseph River in cooperation with the Michigan DNR. The first of several dams on the river which would be encountered by trout or salmon swimming upstream to spawn in Indiana is owned by the city of South Bend. Normally, installation of a large fish ladder is necessary to provide fish with away over the dam. However, DNR biologists

Gasohol — fuel of the future

There is nothing terribly mysterious about gasohol. Its primary ingredients are not “secret additives” or expensive chemicals. Rather, it is a mixture of 90 per cent gasoline and 10 per cent alcohol. In this ration, gasohol works well in nearly any conventionally-powered vehicle, without modifications to the engine. Alcohol fuels are easily manufactured from a variety of products, including abundant and renewable resources such as grain, distressed crops or crop residues, coal, municipal waste and forestry products.

of eleven public hearings to be held throughout the Basin beginning November 1 and continuing through December 7. Included in the schedule are meetings in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. After hearing from the public, the Commission will then decide what programs and policies it will recommend to the governments of the United States and Canada.

the turkey because stuffing inside a warm turkey is a breeding place for bacteria. If you’re preparing stuffing for a large group, cook it separately and insert a meat thermometer into the stuffing until the temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F. Never stuff a turkey the night before cooking it. Refrigerate leftover turkey immediately. Remove the meat from the bones to make it easier to store. If you cut it into small pieces, even cubes, the turkey will freeze fast and defrost fast for future use. In general, remember to always keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Don’t allow foods to stand at room temperature.

say there is an outside chance steelheads and salmon may be able to jump or swim over the dam without a fish ladder. To check this possibility, the DNR will transplant 200 spawning salmon from its eggtaking operation in LaPorte County to the Saint Joseph in South Bend. Small radio transmitters will be placed inside 15 fish before their release. Notre Dame University will monitor the fish by searching for their signals above the dam with radio tracking equipment. Fisherman are asked to cooperate with the DNR in two ways: 1) by not fishing for salmon until after December 1, and 2) by reporting all sightings

Why Use Gasohol? Gasohol is currently being sold to retail customers at more than 66 locations in several midwestern states. Because alcohol contains more oxygen than gasoline, it tends to increase the octane rating of the fuel. Engines burning gasohol generally run more smoothly, with better pickup and less “knocking.” Tests are now underway to determine the precise emission levels of gasohol, but initial informal testing indicates that gasohol may burn cleaner than conventional gasoline. Pollutants such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons decrease, while others may increase slightly. New Agricultural Market Why should farmers care about alcohol fuels? Very simply

'World's worst student' promotes school lunches

Cartoonist Morrie Turner, creator of the syndicated “Wee Pals” comic strip, likes people, and the people he likes best are kids. The cartoonist contributes his time and talents to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s school lunch program because he is “school oriented. This may seem funny considering I was probably the world’s worst student. But if the good things going on in schools today, such as school lunch, were going on when I was in school, I’d have been more alert.” Turner first became acquainted with the school lunch program five years ago. He offered his talents to help promote school lunch and created posters, banners and other materials featuring his “Wee Pals” cartoon characters at no cost to the department. larry Weaver in 'Reforger '7B' Spec. Four Larry D. Weaver, Jr., whose father lives at 218 E. Boston, Syracuse, is participating with other American and allied troops in “Reforger ’78,” NATO’s largest yearly exercise, held in Germany. Return of Forces to Germany results from a 1967 agreement between the U.S., United Kingdom and the Federal Republic of Germany. The U.S. agreed to return stateside-based forces to Germany each year for exercises to demonstrate allied solidarity. Weaver, a team chief with the 26th Signal Battalion in Germany, entered the Army in September 1974. He is a 1974 graduate of Wawasee High School. His wife, Karen, is with him in Germany. September sheriff's report Kosciusko County Sheriff John E. Hammersley has submitted his monthly report of activities for the month of September. The department answered 359 complaints and covered 27,895 miles. There were 99 off-duty complaints, 60 traffic arrests and 275 papers served. A total of 59 accidents were investigated in September; 33 of these occurred during daylight hours, 22 after dark and four took place during dawn or dusk. There were no fatal accidents. A total of 90 cars were involved, with 40 persons injured. Damages were estimated at $81,525, while property damages were $3,125, making a total of $84,650. Eight people were arrested in these cases. The county jail received 130 persons arrested by the sheriff’s department, one by the state police and 56 by the city (Warsaw) police, making a total of 187 bookings. Os these, 22 were juvenile boys, 19 were juvenile girls, 134 were adult men and 12 were adult women. During the month, the department investigated 22 cases of burglary, 22 thefts, 12 cases of vandalism, one case of battery, one accidental death, four cases of indecent exposure and two cases of child abuse. Stolen property was valued at $55,668 and recovered property at $27,887.

Trout Fishing Trout fishing in Indiana streams ended October 31. However there is no closed season for trout in Indiana lakes. Fishermen who have been using fly rods and hip waders will need to trade them for slightly heavier tackle and a fishing boat. Fishing early morning or late evening and using a small hook with a loosely strung nightcrawler will achieve the fastest results. Fishermen either cast or troll very slowly along natural breaks for best results.

because the development of alcohol fuels can open up vast new markets — and thus expand sources of income —for American agriculture. Ethanol —a form of alcohol — can be easily manufactured from grain and crop residues. Work done by Dr. George Tsao at Purdue University has brought about a process by which alcohol can be economically produced from corn stalks, spoiled crops or other materials that have a high content of cellulose. Competitive Prices In the midwest, gasohol has been selling at about the same price as premium gasoline. With certain tax incentives and an efficient marketing system, one could expect gasohol to be highly competitive in price.

The lunch program provides wholesome, nutritious lunches to over 26 million children in 93,000 schools and residential child care institutions each school day. Schools that participate in the program must serve lunches that meet federal nutrition requirements and must provide free and reduced price meals to children who cannot pay the full price. Turner sums up his feelings about the benefits of school lunch this way: “I think school lunch and breakfast are just as important to a good education as anything else.”

Laetrile controversy continues

The controversy over the use of laetrile, a drug which has been around since the early 1950’5, in the treatment of cancer continues. Four groups, the National Health Federation, the Internal Association for Cancer Victims and Friends, the Cancer Control Society and the Committee for Freedom of Choice in Cancer Therapy, have lobbied with the Today’s Youth SY PATRICK DUDGEON Be Careful Many young Americans ingest legitimate drugs like tranquilizers after seeing a doctor. However, some popular drugs don’t mix well with certain foods. Beginning next year, drug manufacturers will be required to list any known adverse reactions drugs and food may produce. Individual differences — sex, age, for example — often mean a great deal in determining if a dangerous drug-food combination is on the horizon. Here’s one thing you should never do: wash down a tetracycline capsule with a glass of milk. Why not? The calcium in milk, cheese and yogurt impairs the absorption of that antibiotic. One thing women should do: if you’re taking birth control pills, eat leafy, green vegetables to ensure you are maintaining a wellbalanced diet. Don’t take drugs with acid fruit or soda pop or vegetable juices. Those drinks can cause excess acidity that could dissolve the drugs too fast. Alcoholic beverages are “badmixers” with many drugs — especially anti-coagulants, antibiotics. anti-diabetic drugs, antihistamines. high blood pressure drugs and sedatives.

McNaughton Foundation for introduction and passage of bills relating to laetrile through state legislature. / An article in the “Annals of Internal Medicine" summed up the situation: “The FDA’s response, from a legal standpoint, is that it will continue to take regulatory action against commercial distribution of laetrile when federal laws are violated. States that have legalized laetrile must produce the drug completely within their state boundaries. “Until in-state manufacturers are established, laetrile will not be generally available, and importation will probably continue on an individual basis.” The article foresees the possibility of laetrile clinics being established in some states. Many of their patients are likely to be newly diagnosed patients who decided to bypass regular medical care. “The present level of activities with laetrile will probably continue until interest wanes as the negative scientific findings gain more notoriety.” Negative findings include a number of cases of cyanide poisoning. The recent legislative activity gives the medical professional the opportunity to encourage.

Bone Loss And Exercise Bone loss (osteoporosis) is the cause of about 350,000 of the million fractures that occur annually in women over 45. Regular exercise can help alleviate this problem. The chief structural element of human bone is calcium. Investigators measuring body calcium levels in 18 women found that when half of the women exercised regularly, their body calcium had increased slightly at the end of a year. The other women experienced loss of calcium.
