'Bubble car' owners receive special thrill

By GARY LEWIS For some, its the possibility of getting 100 miles on a gallon of gas. For others, it is the novelty of owning something uniquely different. And some receive a special thrill from gawks by passerbys. For whatever the reason, owners of a tiny German car believe they are a special breed of auto lovers. A nationally organized group of these owners, with headquarters in California, County building activity up Some of the best news in Kosciusko County this month has been the increased traffic at the Area Planning Office. Building permits, the often-used economic indicator, are up in the county. The most impressive statistic is the number of permits so far this year as compared to the same time last year. In 1982,174 building permits were issued at about this date in June. In 1983, 368 permits have been issued. The 1982 figures showed 645 improvement permits were issued, 58 in Van Buren Township, 131 in Turkey Creek Township, 99 in Tippecanoe Township and 59 in Plain Township. In 1983, the township totals are 26 in Van Buren, 63 in Turkey Creek, 48 in Tippecanoe and 35 in Plain. Building permits must be issued for all types of construction as well as for major demolitions of residences and buildings. Construction activity includes new houses; additions of garages, rooms, porches, patios, and carports; accessory struc-, turcs.such as detached garages„i pools, and fences; all commercial and industrial construction; signs; and parking lots. Dan Richard is the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission which issues* permits in the county.

publish a newsletter each quarter for club members. Affectionately called “bubblecars,” the Heinkel-Messerschmitt-Isetta club of America boast a membership of about 1,000. Considering there’s only about 2,500 of these minature cars in the country, president Marilyn Felling is rightfully proud of her organization. “We cater to the preservation and enjoyment of what we call the bubblecar,’’ says President Felling. She was in Milford last week overseeing the publication of this month’s Bubble Notes newsletter. Assisting her in producing each edition is the former publisher of The Akron-Mentone News, Loren Sheetz. “When I was growing up I used to walk by one of these cars every day on my way to school, and I decided I wanted one,’’ explained Marilyn Felling. When she purchased her first car, she quickly found out that parts for the BMW-powered vehicle were scarce. So she started importing parts which eventually led to her own manufacturing operation in the Los Angeles suberb of Topanga, Calif. Germany developed the tiny, one-cylinder car to assist the war-ravaged state with an inexpensive means of transportation. The Isetta is a four-wheeled, 780 pound 13 horsepower vehicle and the Messerschmitt is a threewheeled, 550 pound nine horsepower minicar. Both can generate speeds up to 60 m.p.h, which the California woman admits is a challenge. “We really don’t look at the 55

Sheetz estimates there is about a dozen of the cars in the area. California has the most HMI memberships and neighboring Ohio is second. Supporters say the minicar is

call in Indiana for finding out the comments of Purdue’s Extension specialists on current crop and livestock information. The tape is changed each day Monday through Friday at 11 a.m, I called the number recently. The tape lasted nearly five minutes. Al Peterlin, ag meterologist, talked about the changing weather conditions. Bill Uhrig, ag economist, explained the present corn market situation and how it relates’ to the farmer owned reserve release price of $3.15 a bushel on 1981 corn and $3,25 a bushel on 1982 corn. The third subject was weed control in corn with Tom Jordon, a weed control specialist. Each report will vary with current problems and opportunities in agriculture. We also now have a new FACTS program — Ration Analyzer for beef. The program allows the user to (1) determine the nutrient requirements of beef cattle according to their age, sex, body frame, flesh condition, and feeding conditions, (2) determine the quantity of nutrients actually being provided and compare those levels to what are required, (3) determine adjustments to obtain a more economical level of animal performance. The user can select up to 40 different feedstuffs on the program. It is a much superior program than the old least-cost ration we have used in the past because it allows the use of many more variables in the program. Stop by and try it.

more than just a novelty because the high gas mileage (which averages between 50-100 miles per gallon) makes for a perfect second car. In New York city, according to one report, a business used a fleet of Isettas to deliver blueprints throughout Manhatten. The maneuverability and easy parking is the perfect answer to bigcity commuting.

The California resident started the club in 1970 with about 40 members and as her parts business grew, so did the club which now has six regional meetings a year. “Some people buy the cars and think they have an economical car," she said. Bui the real reason for the interest, has to be its uniqueness. “They are novelties, like adult toys," she said.
