Genuine Hungarian goulash enough to delight the gourmet's palate

(Continued from page 1) toil He indicated through a senes of charades that it gave him big muscles but little money. Our guide told us most workers have two or even three jobs The first job from five to six hours is for the government, and here he puts in ms time The second or <hird job is a little bonus for himself a better life Apparently he is able to hide this income Forint Their Coin The Forint is the common coin in Hungary, worth about three cents each These people seem anxious to get the American dollar, especially now that it has risen In value on the world market In all. we didn't find things too expensive here in Budapest We took the required city tour on our first afternoon in Budapest, our guide being a fellow by the name of Gabor And of course we had to ask him if he was related to Ava Gabor, the moviestar Gabor was just learning English, so he proved something less than the perfect guide He showed us al) the old sights of the city The city was ravaged during the war years when it was first occupied by the Germans The resistance group fought with the Russians to throw the Germans out. he told us As a result, high on a mountain on one side of the city the Hungarians erected a huge monument to the' Russian war dead, which is lighted at night with powerful lights, that it might be seen throughout the city More And More Cars In several respects Budapest reminds us of Rio de Janeiro The lighted war memorial resembles the Christ the Redeemer monument in Rio. and in another the rush of traffic

A HORSE SHOW SPECTACULAR FOR OUR BENEFIT

Just five years ago one in four families had a car. and now one in three families have cars The little cars purchased from East Germany and Russia are small rascals, to be sure, but the streets are getting jammed with the fastmoving little beetles They’ve solved the parking problem, in large measure, by parking on the sidewalks Another thing that is in short supply are apartments, or "flats" as they are called here And yet. there seems to be an enormous amount of large monotonous looking apartment buildings already built and more going up Gabor told us if a couple has three children they can qualify for a two-room flat and get it rather quickly If they have two children, it will take five years to get a flat, and with one child it will take 20 years Not very en couraging The average wage for a worker is 4.000 Forints per month, and this tworoom flat costs 6.000 rent Just to give you an idea of the squeeze the worker is placed in and why he needs that second and third job He told us a soccer player m Hungary will receive from 12 to 15.000 Fonnts per month It’s a little like in America; we pay our athletes well and so do the Hungarians Saw Horse Show A group of us took what amounted to a day-long trip to Kecskemet, located on the plains south of Budapest, where we saw their famous Hungarian Putzta It’s sort of a horse firm To get here we pass through traditional farm houses, village squares, ancient inns, all in traditional Hungarian style Prior to going to the horse farm our group was greeted at the city hall by the Lord Mayor. George

Herzog, speaking Hungarian through a German and English interpreter He told us his city was 600 years old. had 100,000 inhabitants, and he described its schools, rural nature, but noted they are getting more light industry for its people The city’s emblem was a goat, but now the only goat to be found is on the city's creri. The Lord Mayor explained the city hall as being built from 1893 to 1896 and described the paints that adorned the walls and ceilings and told something about the painters Then, guess what? He gave each of us a small back-bar bottle of apricot brandy, a product of the area On to the horse farm Hungary is noted for its horses, an animal that has its background in Russian. Spanish and Arabian horses The horses we saw were bom dark, but in three years turned white The riders are Csikos (or cowboy) riders, wearing a flowing pantaloon and a shirt with white flowing sleeves They ride their horses bareback and with considerable agility The track was muddy the day of our visit, but, m true showman style, the show must go on, and it did The riders each had a whip he could snap in mid air And there were several surreys, on which several of the group took a ride at the end of the show But the best feature was a rider who had five horses at his command, three m front and two behind He stood up on the two rear horses, one foot on the flank of each of the rear horses A slip and he could have been splattered in the mud Three troops travel and have appeared in the United States The Gypsy Problem The Gypsy problem was bound to come up, for the peripatetic Gypsies are reported to originate m Hungary. Not so, Gabor told us He said the Gypsies actually came from India and Germany He was quick to dispel the Hungarian connection He said, however, there are a half million Gypsies in Hungary Gabor said they are not popular in Hungary because they steal and won’t work We are not relatives of the Gypsies, Gabor said, as if to slam the door shut on the subject Today we left Budapest for our next destination — Belgrade. Yugoslavia, and it proved a long ride. We came through Kecskemet. where we visited with the Lord Mayor and saw the horse show the previous day. In fact, we then passed the big windmill converted into a restaurant where the previous day we enjoyed a most delicious lunch of goulash soup and other Hungarian specialtiiwt And on through southern Hungary. This area opened up to large corn fields, with Willard judging some of them bring as much as 1,000 acres. The corn was much better here than in the northern part of the country. Willard said the corn approached the sin of Indiana corn, but we had no way of knowing about its per bushel yield. And finally, at the outskirts of

Belgrade, as our bus headed into this ancient city, we crossed the Danube. It was picture taking time again. Looking out the west window we could see the setting sun and it made an eye-catching sight. One thing we noticed and commented on. was that these European cities don’t seem to have any urban blight as we have come to know it in America. For one thing, there are no shopping centers at the edge of town. There just isn’t enough land for this sort of thing. As a result, the so-called downtown is a busy place with all buildings occupied and well kept And it’s likely to stay that way. We think we can safely write that we liked Budapest and other parts of Hungary we saw. That isn’t in any way to say we would want to live under communism, however benevolent they claim it to be. But the lights were on and the stores were full of merchandise for sale and the trolleys were running on time. As Dr. Kirakii of Western Michigan University told us: it's not dark like Czechoslovakia, and in this he was right. We can believe him when he says Hungarian food is the best to be found in Europe. We plan to go home and look up a recipe, to see if we can make a goulash to match what we found in Budapest. Bet we can’t. Hoosier Barrow Show Jan. 26 Hoosier hog producers can begin making plans for the 1982 Hoosier Barrow Show which is set for January 26, according to the newly elected officers of the HBS executive committee.

State addressee landfill issue

(Continued from page 1)

in this matter. In 1977, the Indiana Stream' Pollution Control Board implemented a phase-out program for licensed landfills that were situated in poor geological settings. The intent of this program was to identify and timely close those sites which posed a major pollution threat to the environment and, specifically, the groundwater. The program involved an indepth hydrogeological evaluation of all permitted landfills. As a result, 23 out of 145 permitted landfills were so identified and placed on a phase-out schedule. Mr. Scott’s . site is one of those 23 sites ” According to the state health official. Scott was notified on September 27. 1978. of the pending phase-out of his landfill site. On February 5, 1979, Scott received notification that his landfill would be closed January 1,1981. When Scott failed to close his landfill on that date, the State Board of Health initiated court action. However, the two parties settled out of court and the state allowed Scott to remain open till

Bixel questions attorney's pay

Democrat County Chairman Don Bixel today called upon Warsaw’s Common Council, Mayor Mike Hodges and Board of Works for answers to questions about the city attorney's salary. No one, Bixel said, has questioned the legitimacy of this issue until it was raised by Mr. Klondaris. It would seem that Mr. Klondaris is the one who is in error, as Stan Nice never stated or suggested the SSOOO for attorney fees was illegal or incorrect. The issue raised was the question of paying the city attorney an additional SSOOO if, in fact, he is already full time. By Mr. Whitesell’s own admission. he now spends 90 per cent of his time on city business. It would, therefore, seem highly improbable that he would have sufficient time left to accomplish this additional legal work for the city. However, if he finds that he can accomplish this in the remaining 10 per cent of his time, the SSOOO fee would seem to be either excessive or else the Board of Works has adopted a windfall profits system for each additional project that comes along over and above his full time salary of $16,600 as city attorney, which is approximately as much or more than the Mayor’s salary who is also full time Bixel submitted the following for answers 1. Is Mr. Whitesell a full time city attorney? 2. If he is not, will the $16,600

funds alloted by simply changing procedures. According to Stuart Walker, chairman of the committee, the program is not intended to be a fault finding mission of the teaching or operational staff but is a preliminary look for future budget cuts that will not hurt the quality or rating of the community schools.

January 1,1982. “This agency’s willingness to resolve the court action through the consent decree which has resulted in a year extension was in recognition of the need to allow the community additional time to establish a new waste disposal facility,” writes Magoun. “However, it should be emphasized that Mr. Scott and the countyhave had over three years of prior notice of the eventual closure of this site. It is believed that sufficient time has been granted for Mr. Scott or the community to consider, pursue and establish an alternate site for disposal practice. ” The state health official continues. “In your letter you also addressed the lack of other sites, non-toxic waste and technical assistance. Please be advised that Kosciusko County presently •*• has two other landfills, the Ransbottom Landfill near Packerton and the Elko Landfill near Gravelton. The majority of the counties within the state have only one landfill for the community.”

salary be reduced accordingly’’ 3. Can he perform this additional legal work in the remaining 10 per cent of his time, and if so, isn’t SSOOO an excessive fee? 4. How much has Mr. Whitesell actually received in legal fees from the city of Warsaw over and above his salary of $16,600 (which was approved by the City Council for a full time city attorney) and for what? Bixel concluded. “Today. I am calling upon the Mayor and Common Council to come forth with answers to these questions so that citizens of Warsaw will once and for all know what legal work is being performed by Mrs Whitesell and what the total cost is to the taxpayers.” Revenue sharing report completed Betty J. Dust, trustee of Turkey Creek Township, has completed the federal revenue sharing report. RS-9C. This report is available for public inspection in the trustee s office at 500 South Huntington St ..
