Father Hyndman is my favorite, altho all of them have been very good. Your description of your trip on the Delta Queen was great.

Sorry you didn’t get any response about a nickname for the new baby prince in England I was looking forward to reading the suggestions My choice for the next year or two would be Bible verses Dear Editor: There is so much trouble and unrest in the world today I put these Bible verses together I am 92 years old, I have failed many times but these promises have never failed They might help My grace is sufficient for thee my strength is made perfect in weakness therefore come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly and you will find rest for your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden is light Where is your faith wherefore do you doubt According to your faith so be it unto Be not afraid only believe For low I am with you even to the end of the world.

“Sweetie” — but realize that wouldn’t do for long and is too old fashioned anyway. The kids of this day and age are into stuff like “ET” which I recently saw in the local movie house, and didn’t understand.

From the political scene
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL candidate Dick Bodine said that Congressman John Hiler “showed he lacked political guts by flip-flopping twice on the sl4 billion supplemental appropriations bill. “John Hiler knew how important the bill was for this district, yet he was all over the board on this one,” said Bodine. “When the House voted on a compromise package August 18 and sent it to the White House with GOP approval, he supported it. When the president vetoed the bill, Hiler changed his position one more time and voted against the bill.” Said Bodine. “He tried to explain his flip-flops by saying he didn't get very good signals from the White House on how to vote. Well, I think that reinforces what we've been saying for a long time. We get this unfortunate picture of a congressman who is oblivious to the needs of his district and must be told how to vote.” oLARRY CONRAD, the Democratic nominee for governor in 1976. will act as the master of ceremonies when Senator Christopher Dodd (DConn.) comes to Michigan City on September 24. to compaign for Congressman Floyd Fithian. Conrad will preside at the fundraising lunch at the Michigan City Holiday Inn beginning at 11:30 p.m. Co-chairman of the Dodd-Fithian luncheon are William N. Kenefick, Michigan City and Mayor Clifford Arnold. Dodd is one of a number of senators and former members of the Senate who plan to join in Fithian’s campaign against Richard Lugar. Senator Dodd was elected to the Senate in 1980. Before election to the Senate, he served for six years as Connecticut’s Second District Congressman. —o— THAMES MAUZY is among the unopposed candidates on the ballot in the coming election.
