Grace College has $5.9 million budget

Dr. Homer A. Kent, Jr., president of Grace Schools said that the schools will be operating on a balanced $5.9 million budget for the 1981-82 fiscal year. He reported that the current financial condition of Grace is good and it is expected that the schools will finish the fiscal year ending June 30, 1981 in the black —for the 14th time in 15 years. “Grace’s biggest concern is the long-term impact of inflation upon tuition and room and board charges because students attending private colleges must rely more and more on financial aid,” Kent said. “How reliable these financial aid sources will remain is in question. However. Grace is convinced of its need not to undertake any substantial long-term debt but instead is committed to the success of the campaign for the 80s to provide the additional needs of the schools for this decade.” he commented. Grace Schools are affiliated with the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. The college is a Christian undergraduate

TRAVEL TALK

-“ Good morning, Kathy, and welcome back from Phoenix. We are looking forward to hearing your praise of the Valley of the Sun,” was Lem’s greeting when Kathy joined the staff meeting at the travel agency on her first day back from a long week end in Phoenix. "We enjoyed every minute of it,” she replied, “and learned more about the history and development of this part of the southwest than from books. First of all, the state of Arizona is a land of contrasts There is forest country, mesa country, canyon country, cactus country and in the distance, violet-blu mountains and angular rock formations sparsely grown with brush but richly inhabited with superstition, legend, lost goldmines and forgotten dreams.’' “Phoneix. the largest city between Denver and Los Angeles (pop. 770,000) has an interesting beginning. It was built on the ruins of an ancient settlement These early people erected buildings, dug canals and prospered at farming in a formidable desert. Then about 1200 A.D. disappeared. Why the Hohokam (meaning people who have gone) left, no one knows. Perhaps the climatic change is the most acceptable theory with the land becoming drier and less habitable. On the remains of their ingenious irrigation canals, the village of Phoneix.” Kathy continued, “is one of seeming abundance of water as this city has rich vegetation and green lawns. Dams on the Verde and Salt Rivers store water which is released through canals that go all over the city. Royal palms, tall and stately, line the streets. Tamarisk, eucalyptus, olive and citrus trees provide shade The rich sweet perfume of outlying orange groves permeates the air. Everywhere we went there was the delightful aroma of orange blossoms. Also, during the spring season, oleander hedges burst into profuse bloom making Phoenix a huge garden. ” "It was in the early 1860 s that the first white man pitched a tent there and started a trading post. An English adventurer and scholar who eventually arrived and was one of the canal builders, suggested the village be named Phoenix, after the mythical bird consumed by fire and arising from its own ashes. He predicted that ‘a city would rise Phoenixlike, new amd more beautiful, from the ashes of the past. ’ This it did but the most rapid growth has taken place within the last fifty years. The invention of airconditioning in Phoenix probably contributed measurably to its development.” “Today, its now ultra modern stores, smart boutiques and sophisticated metal and glass office buildings give downtown Phoenix a bright and airy look. Combined with this sophisticated aopearance is a down-to-earth iiHormality, friendliness and a special flair for leisure living which makes Phoenix and the surrounding area so inviting.” "The satellite communities of Scottsdale. Paradise Valley, Mesa, Tempe and Carefree have shown the same rapid development in a realitively short period of time, and contribute to the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the area, each with its own personality. For example, one of Carefree’s intersections is the corner of Easy Street and Ho Hum Boulevard. Does one need more to suggest a leisurely vacation spot?” "The mountain range to the north provides a fitting backgroimd for the whole area. Camelback Mountain, named for its distinctive shape, now hosts many resorts. One day we started north to see Montezuma ’s Castle, a unique Indian cliff dwelling

inhabited well over 1,000 years ago. These people disappeared some 200 years before the Pilgrims set foot on Plymouth Rock. Continuing, we visited Sedona, a small but very beautiful little town which boasts of many red rock formations and which is used sometimes by Hollywood. In this town is the Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, done entirely in the Spanish style of architecture. It is really a touch <rf old Mexico with much of the beautiful art of its people.” "From there we went on to Oak Creek Canyon, also noted for its red rock formation. And then we continued to the Grand Canyon Each place we visited is beautiful, but the Grand Canyon with its unbelievable colors, enormous size and magnificent grandeur is awesome and indescribable. One of the Seven Wonders of the World, it is truly a masterpiece of Nature. ’ ’ “While the winter months attract many vacationers, the late spring and summer has its advantages. The average yearly temperature is a nice 72 degrees. Summertime, of course, is much warmer but not unbearable. And rates for travelers are much lower. So its worth considering, especially for families, with its many recreational facilities and interesting side trips,” Kathy concluded. “Qne coijld easily spend several weeks there and enjoy every minute. ” Arnie Karr attends training course Arnie Karr, property manager representing the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife area for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, was one of 45 field and central office staff members who attended an Organization Management Training course. The four-day OMT course was conducted March 17-20 at Turkey Run State Park by the United States Forest Service DNR director James M Ridenour stated,”lndiana’s DNR has operated for years on the principle of giving the most service possible for the money the department had to work with; but in these troubled economic times where budget cutbacks are absolutely essential, it’s even more important to use our financial resources wisely.” Ridenour went on to say, “I’m proud of the 45 DNR staff members who put in the time and effort required to equip themselves to become even better managers of the public’s resources — both financial and natural. Through programs such as the OMT course, the DNR will find ways to maintain and even improve our services despite budget cutbacks. ” A four-person team from the U.S. Forest Service conducted the course in Indiana at the invitation of State Forester Johh Datena This is the sixth time the Forest Service has conducted an OMT course in Indiana for DNR staff members since 1970. Field fire at Wellington's A passing truck driver reported a fire at the John WeDington property, SR 13S, Syracuse, one mile north of the county line on Aprils. According to responding Syracuse firefighters, the owner was burning fence rows when the fire burned out of control. The Benton Township Fire department was notified, but not asked to assist. Syracuse firemen extinguished the fire. No damage occurred.
