Still investigating "singles only" case
“We will take every precaution to assure nothing like this happens again.*’ commented the publishers of The Papers Incorporated in response to the reported rape of a Kosciusko County woman who responded to one of the “For Singles Only” advertisements that appear weekly in the publication. On Tuesday, Jan. 18, a woman called the Warsaw office of The Papers Incorporated to tell personnel she had been raped by an Elkhart man who placed a singles ad in ‘the paper.’ She called to express her concern for the welfare of other women who might reply to the ad. . An employee took the woman's name and phone number, along with the name and address of the man who placed the advertisement. The information was then relayed to the main office in Milford where copublisher Della Baumgartner called the Milford town marshal who then contacted the county sheriff’s department. Detective Sgt. Stan Holderman of the Kosciusko County Sheriffs Department contacted the

woman who agreed to talk to him about the incident. After talking to her, he contacted the Elkhart police since the incident occurred there. Detective Capt. Michael Coryn of the Elkhart police said a warrant to search the local man’s residence in an attempt to corroborate the woman's statement was obtained. He said some equipment that could be used for “bondage” types of sexual encounters was con fiscated. The woman said she was tied up and suspended from the man’s ceiling when she was assaulted. On Wednesday, Jan. 19, paperwork involving the reported rape was delivered to the Elkhart County prosecutor’s office. As of Monday, Jan. 23, the Elkhart County prosecutor is still in the process of considering the complaint after requesting more evidence in the case. Police officials have requested that anyone who had contact or similar experiences with this man call Det. Sgt. Stan Holderman at the county sheriff’s department by calling 267-5667 or Marshal Dave Hobbs at 658-4941.

Securities market Rotary topic
Craig Tidball of the investment firm of Edward D. Jones and Co., was the speaker at the Tuesday meeting of the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club. He is a registered representative and is licensed with the SEC as a security broker. His tope on the shaping of the securities market is a timely one in view of the current market and economic trends. The concept of securities brokeraging goes back to the founding of the company in 1878. The concept was to go to the rural areas to seek their market. “Teddy” Jones went to small towns around Saint Louis and talked to the doctors, farmers, teachers and others who showed an interest in securities investment. As a result, the company operates from small towns with usually only one broker in town. But he is hooked up with a national outfit which is a member of the NYSE. Tidball said that quotes from Washington usually show up in the securities exchange in a short

time. Example is the Washington reaction to the OPEC problem and interest rates statements, the market went down. With favorable statements from Washington, D.C., the market will rebound. Politics and political statements have an affect on the market. He said that the current market can be confusing to the initiated because there are so many ways to invest. He gave a general outline of what is available in a thumbnail sketch of what they can do for the investor. Money market funds are a good place to invest when liquidity is a prime factor as the rate is good and the funds are immediately available. Corporate bonds are good for the person who is about to retire as they have good estate benefits and have early redemption clauses usually after two years, utility stocks provide income and growth while mutual funds provide economy of scale and professional guidance. Limited partnerships are good for writeoffs but some such as oil drilling will be a risk investment.
Cox guilty of murdering J. P. Devine Danny J. Cox, 24, Niles, Mich., was found guilty by members of an Elkhart Circuit Court Jury, of murdering Joseph P. Devine, New Paris, on March 5,1961. The jury recommended on Wednesday, Jan. 19, that the death penalty not be imposed against Cox, who was charged with being hired to commit the murder. However, Elkhart County prosecutor Michael Cosentino is seeking the maximum prison sentence of 60 years. The standard sentence for murder is 40 years and 10 years can be subtracted for mitigating circumstances and 20 years added to the sentence for aggravating circumstances. The investigation, however, is not closed. Cox gave a statement to Indiana State Police Det. Neil Graves on Wednesday, in which he (Cox) stated he “was not guilty and hoped police will keep the investigation open. ” New information has been obtained making some connections with other homicides involving some individuals mentioned in the trial. R. Brent Zook, Cox’s attorney, is planning to appeal the case with the first part of the appeal to be a motion to correct errors which has to be filed within 60 days of sentencing. Sentencing has been set for February 10. Begins van conversion James Speicher, Sr., New Paris, has begun a van conversion business. Speicher, a former Milford resident, is owner of Crown Royal, US 33 Industrial Park East, Goshen. The business opened on January 1.
Tax deferred notes give a good yield upon retirement and municipal bonds will yield about nine to 9‘ 2 per cent tax exempt. Common stocks are on the rise now as the market seems to be on the upswing. Tidball noted that the DowJones average is about the same as it was in 1966 at just over 1,000. However, the price of stocks in the same areas are up in value about 10Q per cent. The Gross National Product was at 691 billion in 1966 and is now at 2.9 trillion. Although the prices are about the same, the book value is way up. In his closing remarks he said that one should not look to the new issues which tend to be speculative but to look to quality stocks, the Blue Chips, for long term investment.

Residents dedicate time
(EDfTOrS NOTE John Murphy is prasident of the Van Buran Township and Milford Emergancy Medical Service.) By JOHN MURPHY EMS President After Wade Mishler made the announcement that he would discontinue his ambulance service in the Milford area, a group of citizens saw the need for a replacement ambulance service for the community. The Milford Jaycees met to consider the project and with the cooperation of the town of Milford and Van Buren Township, the Van Buren Township and Milford Emergency Medical Service, Inc., was formed. That was in 1974 when 13 residents participated in a basic emergency medical technician class taught in Warsaw. In 1983, 19 people donate their time to the ambulance, 11 of them are certified Emergency Medical Technicians and the other eight are drivers. On February 2, Jerry Leiter, Janice Bowler and John Corbin will begin their classroom instruction at Goshen Hospital to become certified EMTs. They will spend 120 hours in the classroom, three hours each Monday and Wednesday evening, until May 21. Requirements An additional 16 hours of clinical experience must be completed by each student before they will be allowed to take the Indiana State practical skills exam. This four-hour test will show if they are proficient in necessary skills. After they pass the practical, they must then complete a 150 multiple answer written exam by scoring not less than 70 per cent in each of four categories and not less than 60 per cent in any one category to successfully pass the examination which tests their knowledge in five areas: respiratory and resuscitation; bleeding and shock; environmental emergencies; fractures and splinting; and communications, extrication and patient handling. If successful, each student will then be certified by the Indiana State Emergency Medical Ser-
Winter isn’t over Why did some weather observers forecast such a cold winter? An explanation is given by Goshen College weather observer Lores Steury in his weekly report. Steury explained that as you look over the records kept since the year 1800, you will find some extended periods of very cool weather and also some periods that were very warm. In many instances, the cool period:; coincide with increased volcanic activity somewhere in the world. The year 1816 was a year that was said to have no summer in the United States. Frost was received every month in the northeastern states. Steury says that records also show that in that decade there were numerous volcano eruptions including the 1815 eruption of Tam bora in Indonesia. There was also a lot of volcanic activity in Indonesia in the 1880 s, the coolest decade for over 100 years. The warmest decade had little activity. - Eruptions have been increasing during the past 20 years with Mount Saint Helens, El Chichon in Mexico and others, thus one reason for the cold winter predictions. Steury also noted that the temjterature of the Pacific Ocean at the equator has been unusualy warm. That, along with shifting winds in the area, can also effect our weather. The winter is not over yet, so veil all have to wait and see what it will bring.

vice Commission for three years. Each year, 20 hours must be devoted to continuing education by these students for the first two years. In the third year, they must participate in and successfully complete a 20-hour refresher course that is structured along the same lines as the basic course. If failed, this test may be retaken one time and an 80 per cent score is required in each section that is retested. If tliis sounds complicated, it really isn’t. A willingness to aid the ir jured and sick and study time makes the course easier to accomplish. Prior medical training is a plus but many of the CEMTs in Indiana had no prior training. Area Needs Much has been said about the need for additional EMTs in Milford. These three students will give us a total of 22 members and 14 CEMTs. Ideally, we would like to have 25 certified EMTs on the service since each 12-hour shift consists of two EMTs and one driver who begin their shifts at 6 a.m. or 6 p.m. On Saturdays and Sundays, the shift is 24 hours of duty Each shift is on an average of three times per week in addition to orie Saturday and one Sunday per' month.

every 1.8 days. Sometimes calls were far apart, and then again, there were back to back calls. They were as close as a few hundred yards from the base and as far away as CR 400 N, just four miles north of Warsaw. The average time needed to return to base per call is one hour and 10 minutes. None of this time is reimbursed to any member through any form of monetary payment. Through the use of two-way radios and a communication base radio, each member has the opportunity to leave his home and continue a somewhat normal lifestyle. The calls come at any time of the day or night and even on holidays there is a staffed ambulance crew if the need for one arises. Calls may be simple transports from the nursing home, or they could be cardiac problems. Automobile accidents with injuries have been few in the past year, numbering only about 20. The reasons for joining the ambulance crew vary from “seeing a need for some sort of service” to “I wanted to be a medical person when I was younger. ’’ Bad points listed vary from “too few people and too many hours ” to “I know a lot of the people in the community and it hurts more when the injured is a friend of yours.” There are good and bad points to each and every job and the ambulance has its own of each. No one can totally isolate themselves from the suffering they encounter each and every time they respond to a call for help. It is with great pleasure and pride Milford EMS welcomes Jerry, Janice and John to its ranks and we wish them all the best in their studies at Goshen. We also would like to formally welcome Pat Knowles who joined us two weeks ago and brings with her two years of service from LaGrange County EMS.
