History Day 79 to stress migrations

Since the earliest recorded history, people, ideas and cultures have been on the move. About 2,000 Indiana students in grades six through 12 will dig deeply into this limitless aspect of the natural phenomenon for “History Day 1979.” The students will advance through a series of district competitions to the state finals on the Indiaha University Bloomington campus on May 12. Winners will go on to regional competition in Cincinnati, Ohio, May 19. The districts are quite similar to Indiana's Congressional districts, but some boundaries have been changed to insure that all the schools in a county are in the same district. Kosciusko County is in district four. Top award winners in the state finals on the IUB campus. May 12, will advance to regional competition in Cincinnati, Ohio, the following week. Other states to be represented in Cincinnati are lowa, Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio. “The students are limited only by their own imaginations.” said C. Frederick Risinger of Indiana University, state director of History Day '79. “The theme this year is ‘Migration in History: People, Ideas or Culture,’ and that covers a vast territory. Risinger. lU’s coordinator for school social studies since 1973, said more than 1.000 Indiana students took part in the state's first history day last year and all indications are that nearly double that number will be involved thisp" year. Last year's theme was “Energy: Its Impact on History,” and it could hardly hagve been more topical, coming

as it did with Indiana and much of the nation caught in an energy crisis. Just as last year, there are two divisions of competition, junior and senior. Grades six, seven and eight are in the junior division; cL Hl EK SELECTED AS FINALIST — Judy Wall, 16. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Wall. Dewart Lake has been selected to be a finalist in the 1979 Indiana Miss Teen-USA Pageant at Indianapolis on July 6,7 and 8.

All contestants are between the ages of 14 and 18 and must have at least a B average in school. They are requested to participate in the Volunteer Community Service Program of the Miss Teen-USA Pageant. Through this program many youngsters are becoming involved in community activities by contributing at least 12 hours of time to some w orthw ile charity or civic work.

ROTARY SPEAKER — Dr. Henry Weaver, head of the Goshen College department of chemistry, is being congratulated by Rotarian Jay PeffkA following his talk on the use of nuclear energy as opposed togas and oil and coal as an energy source. On the left is Rotarian president Alan Tehan.

Use of nuclear power as energy source discussed

The arguments for and against the use of nuclear power as a. source over the conventional use of gas, oil and-or coal were discussed before the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club at the club’s Tuesday meeting. Guest speaker was Dr. Henry Weaver, head of the Goshen College department of chemistry. His presentation was one of the finest of its sort heard locally for a longtime. He said he wanted to discuss the issue of nuclear power as an ultimate source of energy from an ethical and moral point of view. The world has an 11-year proven supply of gas and oil, but he noted this is more than we’ve ever had before this time. On the other hand we have 300 to 500 years of proven coal supply and but 40 years of proven nuclear supply. And, through the use of the breeder reactor, we have an energy supply for 37 centuries. Calls Gas ‘Free Ride’ “We’ve had a free ride in the use of gas and oil,’’ Dr. Weaver said, '“with the rich doubling their wealth and the poor also becoming wealthier.” He added, “And we’ll get a second free ride from the use of nuclear power. ” “We can control fission,” he said and this gives us the hydrogen bomb, “but we have no supply of controlled fusion.” He said he isn’t the least bit worried about the supply of energy. He said coal costs us 300 lives a year in mine accidents and about 4,000 lives from black lung disease. Then Dr. Weaver cited the deaths in sportation of gas, citing an accident of propane gas explosion in Spain when a truck was wrecked, and others. He said there is “zero possibility of explosion with the use of nuclear energy.” And he noted that radioactivity is “practically nil” with its use. He noted that in the past week it has been mentioned on the news that there is a possibility of going to war over the short supply of gas and oil. This possibility would be removed with the conversion to nuclear power. Save 400-8,000 Lives Dr. Weaver told the Rotarians, “We could save anywhere from 400 to 8,000 lives per year if we’d switch from gas and oil or coal to nuclear power to generate our energy. “And it simply costs less to produce a unit of electricity this way,” he concluded. Break' in thwarted A total of nine law enforcement officers and a canine thwarted an attempted break-in at Fisher’s Rent-All early this morning (Wednesday) at the south edge of Syracuse. During a routine check by Syracuse police, an alarm was heard at the business house and back-ups were called in. Responding to the assist were two Kosciusko County officers, three officers from the Elkhart County department and a canine, the Milford town marshal and three officers with the Syracuse Police Department. Movement was heard from the swamp area surrounding the facility and a thorough two-hour search was made. The canine fracked through the growth to the end of Hunnicutt Street in Hunnicutt Grove where fresh tire marks were found, showing a car had taken off at a high rate of speed.

problem. He concluded by telling his listeners that it has became a political problem, and when this is resolved 'and nuclear power becomes a reality many of our energy problems will evaporate.

James, 18; Mark Wagoner, 18; and Mitchell Wagoner, 15. Indiana State Police investigated. James, driver of the pickup truck, reported the vehicle slid off the roadway and down an embankment into a ditch rolling over several times.
