I feet the present administration stays on top of things. Some trends you just don’t jump on. You have to make sure they relate to this system All programs sometimes aren’t the best. We look at some programs very carefully. If they are a benefit, fine. If not, we pass over them.” Kroh and his wife, Gail L., have three sons. Steven, 20; Tom. 18; and Tim. 16. Stuart A. Walker, 119 W E. Long Drive, Syracuse, has a lifelong interest in education. "I think I would like to see a positive attitude. More people are interested now in the board and I think that’s good. But, people tend to believe negative comments. There’s a problem with communication. We need more involvement between the school and community, administration and community and the teachers and the community.” He and his wife, Diana, are the parents of three children, Kevin. 15; Bethanie. 14; and Mark. 13.

Need Representation Romine feels he can give better representation to the 17th District than Mauzy. He commented, “The present state representative hasn’t done too much for the district. I feel I can do a lot more. It’s always been a goal of mine.” Romine said the one major issue he is concerned with is the fuel adjustment clause. This clause is where the utilities charge for generating raw material. He said in 1976, the state received s6l million from this and $135 million last year. He is expecting the state to receive over S2OO million this year. “This is one I want to get off,” he said, "It’s hard for those on fixed incomes. I would introduce legislation to do away with this. ” Romine, an electrical contractor, is a member and past president of the Mentone Town Board. He is a member of the Mentone Methodist Church as well as the Warsaw Rotary Club and Rozella Ford Golf Club. He is a past president of the Kosciusko County Merit Board.

Brock Mfg. — (Continued from page 1) a doubling of storage space. The company is also erecting a transportation building to the southwest of plant two, 6.600 square feet in size, to house Brock’s fleet of trucks and repair trailers. “This will mean that all of Brock’s operations will be on the west side of the road, and all of Chore-Time’s on the east,” Brembeck explained. "Chore-Time needs to expand, and Brock needs to expand. Chore-Time will expand by moving into the Brock facilities, and Brock will expand by building on the west side of the road.” “By the spring of 1980, we hope to have each company selfcontained on one side of the road, cutting down on traffic and transportation across the state road.” “The expansion will probably necessitate an increase in employment,” Brembeck continued, "because we are anticipating an increase in business. We have faith in the future, or we would not be planning an expansion. Right now we are producing a little more than these facilities can handle.” “However, an employment increase might not be immediately apparent.” Further details of the expansion will be announced in the future. Chore-Time has been in operation in Milford for 26 years while Brock was started 20 years ago. Minor damage in automobile fire An electrical short was the possible cause of an automobile fire at the Burger Dairy Store, Pickwick Road, Syracuse, Tuesday evening.

sk c dBBHB J k. JOYOUS REUNION — Many memories were discussed by these three men last Wednesday night at the home of Albert Lesta. left, in Wakarusa. He and his twin brother, Karl of Ashville, N.C., right, were reunited with their father, Karl Lesta of Esthonia, for the first time in more than 34 years. The father listens intently with his arm around his son’s shoulder as they talk about life during their childhood days in Esthonia. — Wakarusa Tribune Photo From Nov. 1 Wakarusa Tribune — Long separation ends for local man, father

America and Wakarusa, Indiana, are “like a dream world” to Karl Lesta. He expects any moment “to wake up and find his reunion with his twin sons,” Albert and Karl, after more than 34 years “just isn’t real.” And he is overwhelmed by the friendliness of everyone he meets, the abundance all around him and the freedom Americans enjoy.* Unbounded joy marked the reunion of this healthy, extremely alert man of 82 with his sons at O’Hare Airport in Chicago last Wednesday evening after he had traveled for 22 hours to end a separation which took place during World War II in their native Esthonia. Returning from the airport, the first few hours of reliving cherished memories of their family life in Esthonia and recounting their experiences since their separation were spent in the home of the one twin, Albert Lesta. and his family at 302 W. Waterford St. in Wakarusa. As he walked onto the porch here, he was greeted by these words written in large letters on the picture window of his son’s home: “Tere tulemast vana isa!” His son provided a free translation of the words which mean “Welcome, grandfather.” The message was from Erika, daughter of Albert and his wife, Barbara, who is a sophomore at Baptist Christian High School at Elkhart. Karl Lesta, who manages a large dairy farm near Ashville, N.C., had only a few hours to spend with his father because he had to return to North Carolina

last Thursday. Prior to World War II Esthonia was an independent nation and Karl and Ann Lesta operated a farm market and farmed land. First the nation was taken over by Russia and then Germany drove the Russians out of the Baltic states. Since the end of the war communist leaders have controlled the country and there is no private ownership of land. Albert Lesta recalls that it was on Aug. 18, 1944, that he and his twin brother last saw their father before last Wednesday. They were taken out of Esthonia by the Germans and transferred around Europe until the war ended. Their older brother, Arnold, and a younger brother, Olav, returned to the home area after the war and have been with their father. He never was forced to leave Esthonia during the war. While they have been able to keep in touch through letters, the brothers just now, after trying for 10 years, have been able to arrange for their father to obtain a visa to visit them. Albert and Karl went to England as refugees at the end of World War 11. They worked on a farm next to the home of Barbara whom Albert later married. They migrated to Australia in 1964 and Karl Lesta came to the United States in 1966. The following year he persuaded them to join him in Argos, Ind., where Albert became a milk testing supervisor. Soon after he studied artificial insemination and became an official inseminator, a career which he has continued to pursue after moving to Wakarusa. The Wakarusa couple also has twin daughters, Jaqueline who is doing mission work in Australia
