College courses high school — "It's time to act.”

time to act,” urged Dr. Judith Redwine, director- of the extension program at. Indiana University at South Bend (IUSB), about the college credit courses offered at Wawasee High School this fall. “We think we have somthing exci ting to offer. Five college freshman and sophomore level courses will be offered at Wawasee High School from 6:30 to 9; 10 on Tuesday and Thursday nights beginning August 30 and September 4. Each course is worth three college credit hours and taught by IUSB professors. The fee is $26 per credit hour or S7B per course. Credits earned can be applied towards a degree or program at any-Indiana University campus or other colleges and universities. Dr. Redwine stressed that persons who are interested in taking courses “next year” or “sometime” should enroll now and not wait. “There’s a need for the community to respond and respond now. It’s expensive to bring a program into an area, and if there’s no community response the program will have to be abandoned,” she said. Dr. Redwine went on to say more courses will be brought to the Wawasee off-campus site as more people show interest. If the community response is good, it will eventually be possible for persons to fulfill most of their college requirements at the high school. For example, 28 college courses are offered at Elkhart Central High School. Program To Adults Adults who have been out of school several years are often hesitant to return to the classroom, but Dr. David W. Robinson, Wawasee High School

psychologist and local program coordinator, said the courses are designed with the working adult and adult with family responsibilities in mind. The professors understand the special problems faced by the adult student. “We want to enhance the person’s life, not usurp it,” explained Dr. Robinson. A schedule of classes and special adult admissions application has been sent to every boxholder in the Wawasee area. The schedule and admissions applications are also available at the Wawasee High School, stores and business places in Syracuse. North Webster. Milford.

Lights — (Continued from page 1) . buildings, accessible to children, have been declared unsafe by the state fire marshal. However, a town ordinance is needed to enforce demolition of the buildings. Mrs. Baumgartner also complained of trash not being swept from the streets. Beatty said the street sweeper has been broken but will be operating by Thursday. He promised to have the streets swept with a broom in the morning. Beatty informed the board he is traveling 68 miles a week to attend school for certification for the water superintendency. The board agreed to pay him 15 cents a mile. At its last meeting, the board accepted bids to install new sewer lines on Main Street, pending state approval. Town Consultant Bob Murphy reported to.the board Monday night the state said the town should have approval by Friday. The contractor is ready and will begin work as soon as state approval is

received. Murphy went on to say he was not charging the town for conducting the water survey of Main Street. “Because I wish to be considered for future engineering of a complete water system, lam billing the town nothing for these projects,” he stated. Town Marshal David Hobbs presented his police report for July 9-August 13 and repair estimates for his damaged squad car. The board motioned to accept the lowest bid of $843.20 from Miller’s Custom. The squad car was damaged two weeks ago when a faulty latch caused the hood to fly up, damaging the hood, light bar and windshield. Hobbs informed the board that beer cans and beer bottles have been littering the street and, it is unlawful to take an open beer can or bottle from the tavern onto the street. He said bar owners are willing to cooperate and watch for customers leaving with cans and bottles. The town marshal reported residents in Graff Trailer Park have complained about rattlesnakes in the high grass near the park. He said he can not verify that the snakes are rattlers because he has not seen one there, however, residents should be warned of the possible danger. Hobbs also reported there have been three dog bite cases within the last three weeks and dogs have been running loose around town. He reminded the board that dogs must be tied or penned unless attended by the owner on the owners property. Dogs running loose will be picked up by the county Humane Shelter and owners charged $25 with attempts made to prove ownership. If the problem does not improve, he will consider going from door to door checking dog licenses. Maria Lozano complained of the water drainage problem of the horse pen on the Harry Dale Doty, Jr. property at the south end of town. “Every time it rains it gets worse,” said Mrs. Lozano. She was told by county officials that the problem is under the jurisdiction of the town board. She told the board she did not wish to cause trouble, but the water drainage problem was a health hazard to her and her family. Miller said there are ways to prevent such a drainage problem and he would speak to Doty about correcting the problem. The board discussed the need to appoint an elections inspector before November. The pay rate must also be set with the maximum being S3O. Board clerk-treasurer Margaret Brooks suggested the board find

Farmers redeem 272.4 million bushels of grain from reserve Farmers have redeemed 123.7 million bushels of corn from the farmer-owned reserve in the seven weeks following the June 19 anouncement that the trigger price had been reached. Ray Fitzgerald, executive vice president of the Commodity Credit Corporation ( CCC). The following table gives the total amount of each commodity entered into the reserve, the amount redeemed and the per cent redeemed to date: TOTAL ORIGINALLY AMOUNT PERCENT GRAIN IN RESERVE REDEEMED REDEEMED Corn 732.0 million bushels 123.7 million bu. 16.9 Wheat 413.0 million bushels 140.4 million bu. 34.0 Oats 39.2 million bushels 5.3 million bu. 13.5 Sorghum 44.3 million bushels 14.3 million cwt. 32.2 Oats was released for the second time May 11, barley was released for the second time June 5, when both were called on June 26; wheat was released May 16, corn released June 19 and sorghum was released June 22. Release of a commodity means farmers may repay their CCC price support loans and redeem or sell the grain without penalty; but are not required to do so. Call of a commodity means farmers have 30 days from the date of notification of the call to repay their reserve loans. They are not required to sell the grain, but if they do not repay the loan they must forfeit the grain to CCC. However, the department, has announced that due to current snarls caused by strikes in rail and truck transportation, producers with barley and oats in the reserve will be contacted individually by the department’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service and given the option to delay settlement in 30-day intervals.

someone who would be willing to donate his or her time. The meeting adjourned at 9:24. The next meeting is scheduled for September 10. Elevator — (Continued from page 1) ect., at a cost of $82,000. An elevator at the Syracue Junior High School could be installed in the stage area of the gym with the total cost being estimated at $85,000. Superintendent Don H. Arnold stated the board needed to give serious consideration to the elevator at Wawasee High School since there is a boy in the eighth grade at the Syracuse Junior High School who is in a wheelchair. They are getting by ok at Syracuse because of the ramps which are not ideal but are workable at the present time. However, Arnold said, there will be a problem when the youngster reaches Wawasee in the fall of 1980. Brown’s recommendations included changes in restrooms in all schools to allow for use by handicapped persons. Total costs for work at all schools was set at $533,781. Brown further noted this is at today’s prices with the figures going up from 1‘ 2 to two per cent per month. He further noted the only items the corporation would need the architects for would be the elevators, roof, windows, and the carpeting. Other work, he said, could be done by area contractors at a savings to the school corporation since all prices listed are at union scale. In addition, at the Milford Elementary School, the firm recommended removing the existing buckled wood floor in the gymnasium and replacing it with a hard surface, such as tile or concrete; reroofing five areas totalling 19,983 square feet; and covering the glass block windows on the inside of the classrooms with a layer of insulation and a finished surface such as vinyl covered drywall. The estimated cost of covering the windows is $27,500. Brown noted that the school should get its money back in from seven to 10 years because of the heat currently being lost. They also recommended temperature control renovation. Total cost of recommendations: $129,040. At the Milford Junior High School Brown’s recommendations included a new condensate pump, insulation above the ceiling and adding approximately 138 storm windows with operating sash over

the existing wood windows and replacing six windows in the gymnasium with new operable metal frame windows. Total cost of recommendations: $31,250. Recommendations at the North Webster Elementary and Junior High Schools included recarpeting certain elementary classrooms where carpeting was laid in 1972 and the corporation is currently having to pay between S3OO and S4OO per year in repair work, reroofing an area over the elementary school, a new condensate tank, rebuilding steam traps, temperature control and condensate pump. Total cost of recommentations: $52,710. Besides the elevator at the Syracuse Elementary and Junior High Schools and the restroom changes which include a major renovation and installation of two new locker rooms in the area where the current locker rooms are located. Brown’s list included work on the roof at the junior high area, repaving asphalt drive at the rear of the school, new steps at the south entry of the junior high school, replacing the linoleum floor tiles in the elementary area, covering the glass block windows, temperature control and rebuilding steam traps. Total cost of recommentations: $215,831 Besides the elevator and • restroom changes at Wawasee the recommendations included recarpeting certain areas of the school and temperature control. Total cost of recommentations: $104,950. Next Step Board members decided the next step would be to walk through the buildings and see the places where the work is being recommended and talk with building principals. The board will meet at the Syracuse Junior High School at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30. and tour that school. If time allows they will also tour Wawasee High School prior to their 7 p.m. board meeting or they may tour the school following the board meeting, which is a public hearing on the budget. At that time they will set a date to tour the Milford and North Webster Schools.

A review of plans to purchase buses was presented to members of the Lakeland School Board Tuesday night by Carl Hadley, director of transportation. The board is looking at the aquisition of 10 buses to replace buses currently being used. The school corporation has a total of 36 buses covering 30 routes. The six additional buses are used for extra-curricular activities and when route buses break down. Buses are currently being replaced on a nine-year program. The board gave approval to proceed with the specifications for bus bids and with bidding for general obligation bonds to be used to pay for the buses which Hadley estimated will cost between $20,000 and $21,000 without trade-ins.

The resignations of Robert Harding, English teacher at North Webster Junior High School and Jerry Smith, health teacher at Wawasee High School, were accepted. Ronald Guernsey, a recent graduate of Michigan State University, was approved for the position vacated by Harding and Martha Stern, who taught for nine years in Illinois and has worked in the placement office at Goshen College for the past three years was hired on a one-year contract to fill the vacancy created this year in the North Webster English department due to Annette Mock’s taking a leave of absence. Superintendent Don H. Arnold recommended the board hire Mary Ann Banks to handle the migrant program at Milford. Approval was received - earlier this week for the program which is 100 per cent federally funded. At the opening of the meeting the board held a hearing to reestablish the uses of the

cumulative building fund to comply with regulations passed by the legislature during its last session. Sen. Bayh calls alcoholic fuels 'Grand Alliance’ Calling it the result of a “grand alliance,” Senator Birch Bayh (D.-Ind.) predicted that the National Alcohol Fuels Commission will be vocal and aggressive in its pursuit of the development of alcohol fuels. At the NAFC’s first public hearing on the subject of alcohol fuels development, Chairman Bayh said the OPEC cartel has our country “over the oil barrel,” and pointed out that the time has long since passed when we should be develpping our own domestic energy resources. “I am firmly convinced that alcohol fuels, energy made from domestic renewable resources, can make a significant contribution toward the goal of reducing our dependence on foreign oil in the next few years,” Bayh said. “It is the American people who have the expertise and the wisdom to make that goal a reality, and that is why the National Alcohol Fuels Commission is here today.” The Indianapolis hearing marks the first of a series of regional public forums during which the NAFC will be gathering data and information so that it can make concrete and workable recommendations as to what policies the federal government should be following to encourage the development of alcohol fuels. “Our mandate is to identify the barriers, to discover the innovative end uses for alcohol fuels, and to find ways to encourage more efficient and less costly production of alcohol for fuels," Bayh said. The Senator pointed out that a great deal of progress has been made in the 22 months since the “gasohol caravan” paraded up Constitution Avenue to the Capitol. “Now, my colleagues don’t chuckle politely when I talk to them about gasohol,” Bayh said.
