are eligible before January 1984. Project SAFE helps older and disadvantaged people pay their fuel and electric bills. It has been called one of the best programs of its kind in the nation.” The program will be administered by the Indiana Department on Aging and Community Services. Jean Merritt, who directs the state agency, indicated, “In addition to electric and gas utility offices, application may be made at 21 community action agencies and at 16 area agencies on aging. “When a person makes application, he or she should bring along proof of income and a recent heating and electric bill.” Income eligibility guidelines have been increased somewhat from the 1982-83 heating season. The new guidelines are: For a one member household, annual income must be $6,075; for a two member, income must be $8,175; for three, $10,275; for four, $12,375; for five, $14,475; and for six, $16,575. If there are more than six people in a family, $2,100 should be added for each additional family member. Mrs. Merritt stated, “Funding levels for low-income energy assistance such as Project SAFE have not yet been determined by the United States Congress. The amount of Project SAFE benefits available to a household will vary somewhat dependent upon the part of the state in which the household is located.” Those in the northern third of the state will receive slightly higher benefits than those in the center of the state. Those in the south will receive a somewhat smaller amount than those in the center. Income eligible heads of households who are 60 years of age or older will receive additional benefits, as will those who are handicapped or currently unemployed.

Additional information and the location of intake sites in Elkhart and Kosciusko Counties can be obtained by calling Rosemary Bonadies at REAL Services, Lower FmHA loans now available FmHA state director, Oscar T. Blank, said recently, “Emergency farm loans are now being made by the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) at five per cent interest for the first SIOO,OOO. borrowed.” The new rate is effective for all emergency loss loans closed after September 27,1983. The establishment of the five per cent rate for the first SIOO,OOO. was announced September 28 by Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block as a measure to help farmers whose crops and pastures have been damaged by the extremely hot and dry weather. A rate of eight per cent was also established for any amount of emergency loss loan over SIOO,OOO. “The five and eight per cent interest is available only to farmers unable to obtain credit from a private commercial lender,” Blank said. Farmers who can obtain credit from a private lender, but choose to borrow from FmHA will continue to be charged the market rate of interest; currently 13.75 per cent. Farmers qualifying for emergency loans can borrow up to 80 per cent of their actual production loss, not to exceed a maximum of $500,000, or that amount actually needed, whichever is less. “In Indiana, 57 counties (Ed.note: this includes Kosciusko County) have been named as eligible for the emergency loans. In the counties named, applications should be made to the FmHA office serving each county as early as possible to help expedite processing,” Blank said.

Augsburger 8 ; grows — Changes noted by Augsburger
By GAIL WIDMOYER Staff Writer John B. Augsburger, owner of Augsburger’s Super-Valu and Indiana State Senator, remembers working for his father, John F. Augsburger, in a small store in Milford where the elder Augsburger removed items from the shelf as customers placed their orders. “And we had home deliveries,” the senator reminisced further. While over-the-counter service and home deliveries are things of the past, Augsburger’s is still people oriented, having implemented changes that produce lower costs for consumers. In honor of his store’s 47th anniversary, Augsburger enumerated some of the changes that have been added over the years. As a boy, Augsburger remembers all people who bought groceries from his father charged the items or paid for them with cash. “Now 90 per cent of our sales are paid with checks,” he explained. “The main reason for all supermarkets’ discontinuation of credit, home deliveries and over-the-counter service is to provide the lowest possible cost to consumers,” Augsburger continued. Adding computerized scanning is another way the state senator has been able to offer lower costs to his customers. Besides reading price tags on items, the scanning devices also record the items sold on an inventory list. “With this, we can keep track of our inventory which gives us more control and a record of product turn-overs,” he explained. Augsburger added that his store’s entire inventory is turned-over every two weeks, providing fresh and customerpreferred products. Another modernization device that was installed in 1980 is the palletized unloading system featuring an elevator lift that makes it possible to unload a truck in 10 or 15 minutes as opposed to one hour.

consuming device employed by Augsburger’s will result in lower prices for the customer. The use of coupons is another characteristic of Augsburger’s Super-Valu stores that wasn’t present 47 years ago. According to the store owner, two to three coupons used to pass through the store in one day. Now Augsburger’s handles 5,000 to 10,000 coupons every week. Other modern trends added by the young Augsburger include: a bakery department, a delicatessen specializing in party trays and special order items, a flower shop, Senior Citizen discount day and round the clock operation hours. Store History The original Augsburger’s grocery store was located in Milford operated by Augsburger’s grandmother, the late Mrs. Charles (Grace) Bird, in the early 19305. In 1936, the late Mr. and Mrs. John F. Augsburger took over the business, developed it into a “full-fledged” grocery store and built a new store in 1961. A second store located in
Son of Pierceton couple at White House conference
Dr. Gene E. Likens, son of Mr. and Mrs. Colonel Likens of r 2 Pierceton, met with President Ronald Reagan and cabinet members at the White House on September 15 to discuss acid rain and its effect on the environment. Dr. Likens is the director of the New York Botanical Garden Institute of Ecosystem Studies (Millbrook’s Cary Arboretum) and is considered a pioneer in this field of science. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, and is a founder of the internationally recognized Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study, which has become a model for ecological and biogeochemical research throughout the world. Prior to joining the Botanical
Syracuse followed in 1965 and a third was added in North Webster in 1971 with the Milford store sold to Ron Schwartz in 1978. John B. Augsburger became actively involved in the business in 1956 after graduating from Indiana University and gradually assumed control when his father was elected to the Indiana State 1 Senate in 1968. Augsburger continued to follow his father’s example when he was elected to the senate in 1976, assuming the seat vacated by the retiring senior Augsburger. Serving a state constituency and operating a supermarket chain is no easy task, but thanks to “very good help,” Augsburger has been able to juggle the two occupations. He credits his soni in-law, Jim Evans, store coordinator; John Kieff, Syracuse ; store manager; Mike Myers, North Webster store manager; : Joe Johnson, Syracuse assistant manager; and Tim Bowling, 1 North Webster assistant r manager, with running the i business smoothly while he is i busy in Indianapolis.
Garden, Dr. Likens conducted an intensive 20-year study of acid rain at the 7,500 acre Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. He is also a past Professor of Biological Sciences, Section of Ecology and Systematics at Cornell University. Dr. Likens’ research projects include studies of acid rain, aquatic ecology and forestry. Dishwasher fire The Syracuse Fire Department was called to the home of Martin Dider, 10 E. Shore, after a dishwasher caught fire. An estimated SIOO damages was caused. The fire was thought to have been caused by an electrical shortage.
