discussed with the group the need of vocational education in today’s economy. He reported on statistics which showed that of last year’s graduating senior class, 93 per cent got jobs. He also asked for support for the department’s “proje<s partners’” program which employs high school aged children for summer work. Debbie Wiggins, of the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce, and Pat Watkins, of the Kosciusko County Area Planning Commission, presented an overall view of the Kosciusko County Economic Development Plan. Mrs. Wiggins said the goal of the plan is the improvement of Kosciusko County’s “quality of life,’’ through the improving of three business bases: industry, tourism and agriculture. The plan attempts to increase the amount of new dollars to the area through job creation and by obtaining more of the area’s disposable income Wiggins said this is a county-wide plan which would benefit all of Kosciusko County.
involve all of the retail merchants in Syracuse and Wawasee Village. Walker said the retailers have never came out with an annual date “Each year everyone has to sit down and struggle to try and figure out a good date I think it would be great if we could have one set date each year," she said. Mrs. Walker hoped that this year's date will become an annual date bpt she said it will be an issue that will have to be voted on She also said the group might consider another sidewalk sale

She also discussed the state-run “Hoosier hospitality” program where each area in the state sends representatives to a meeting of business leaders planning on relocating. Mrs. Wiggins said a county-wide push for representation in such a program would be the best since “Syracuse, for example, might have something someone is looking for more than Warsaw,” she said. She added any additional business in the county anywhere would benefit everyone. Watkins was hired by the county to put together a comprehensive plan for Kosciusko County. His work involves gathering varying kinds of statistics about the county. He said he plans to present portions of his work to the various town boards in the county in order to “start the debate process early.” His report would give a set of directions toward common goals for the county in formulating an economic future. Watkins researched a similiar economic plan in Brown County

Corporations discussed at Rotary meeting
Paul Penn, a resident of Syracuse and a retired member of Penn Control. Goshen, was the speaker at the weekly Syracuse Wawasee Rotary Club meeting Tuesday An electrical engineering graduate, who spent his working years in the electrical industry. Penn talked about a financial portrait of large manufacturing businesses His talk was based on a study of Kosciusko County's 1,200 largest corporations, using data from the 1980 fiscal year. Os the sales dollar, 47 per cent goes to salaries, wages and employee fringe benefits Next, 31 per cent goes for production materials. Following that is 10 per cent of every sales dollar, which is spent for utilities, state and local taxes, (including property 7 taxes) and office space and maintenance supplies The remaining 10 per cent is what is termed profit, but in a somewhat misleading way, according to Penn. Os the total sales dollar, 4.6 per cent is directed to federal taxes and the remaining 6.4 per cent for profits. However, the 6.4 per cent for profits is usually divided equally, half held as retained earning for growth, and half, or 2.7 per cent, for stock dividends. Note was made that a business economist, Peter Drucker,

Understanding £ Yourself You — The Best Judge If you are concerned about the food you consume, you should also be concerned about the food supplements you take Howmany vitamin supplements are right for you? In manycases, you can be the best judge. You can also check with your family physician. Vitamins B and C pass right through the body and should be taken daily. Vitamins A, D. and E are stored by the body. Many parents are also the best judge of vitamins for their children. The best way to judge the quality of children’s vitamins is to choose a quality brand For example, Schiff, perhaps the most respected name in an industry cievoted to nutrition, has developed a tasty and chewable children's vitamin called, "1 Love Schiff,” which contains no sucrose. Like all of Schiff’s vitamins, minerals, and food supplements, the potencies are derived from all natural products and are available at health food stores and nutrition centers everywhere A free catalog listing all of Schiff’s products is available by writing to: Schiff Bio Foods.

Table bids on school vans, set August open house
The Lakeland CommunitySchool Board held a special meeting Tuesday evening for the purpose of opening bids received on the two vans the corporation is hoping to purchase; however, only one bid was sent in from Superior, Inc., of Nappanee. Also at the meeting the date of August 8 was decided upon for an open house at Milford. The bid from Superior listed a price of $14,598.50 for each van and allowed a trade-in value of $750 for the school’s 1975 Ford and a trade-in of $1,250 for the Barth unit. The vans described exceeded the specifications required by the board. Don Arnold pointed out the vans could later be adapted for use as regular school buses During the discussion which followed board member Marguerite Hoerr stated. “I can’t see overbuying for general transportation needs," and Secretary Phil Payne agreed it • was not what the school needed at this time. The board, having met its legal requirements for advertising for the bids, decided to table any action on the matter until further investigation could be made by Assistant Superin-

Junior High School on Sunday, Aug 8. Because four rooms were added on to the elementarybuilding. both schools will be included in the three-hour open house beginning at 1 p m. The appointment of Mrs Karl (Carol) Keiper to the Milford Library Board was approved by the board She will begin her term in August and it is a fouryear appointment. Howard Beer’s term will expire in the coming month. During the questions from visitors segment of the meeting several parents and teachers of Syracuse Junior High students were present to remind the board they are still very concerned as to the overcrowded conditions at the school The board had addressed this issue at its last meeting held two weeks ago and at that time decided a solution would be worked out by August. Vice president John Kroh spoke to the board stating he had received numerous calls and communications from the parents of the Syracuse students all expressing their concern about the overcrowded conditions. He suggested. "If things don’t change in August maybe we
should have an alternate plan of some sort so we don’t run into problems." Superintendent Don Arnold told the board and those present that he had met with Principal Charles Haffner of the Syracuse Junior High and that Haffner was currently investigating solutions to the problem including the possibility of the five-section class. Presently there are 121 students divided into four sections. The fifth section would cover the areas of language, arts and math. Arnold also reminded the board this was not a new problem and in years past it had not been uncommon to have as many as 29 students in one class in the different schools. He also stated that this is a temporary problem existing only this next year as the following class is not as large. "This is a temporary situation for one year, which doesn’t mean we aren’t going to do anything about it," said Arnold. He added that the board would be discussing this in the next two meetings in July and hopefully have solutions to report . The next scheduled meeting of the Lakeland School Board is set for July 13.
