(Continued from page 4) You say, “Was he mad?” Not only that, but he felt he had been had. MARK A. WALKER, son of Stuart and Diane Walker of 119 W. E. Long Drive, was not only an outstanding student at High School but he’s making his mark at Wabash College at Crawfordsville where he is a freshman. Dean Paul C. McKinney announced this week Mark is one of 171 on the highly-touted Dean’s List for the fall 1984 semester. Mark maintained a 3.5 grade point average or better on a 4.0 point grading scale Sometimes called the “Harvard of the midwest,” Wabash College is recognized as having one of the highest academic standards in the midwest. Wabash gives individualized attention to its students through a 11-1 student-faculty ratio. A private, well endowed, independent liberal arts college for men, Wabash College has an enrollment of nearly 500 students. Mark was one of the originators of the WHS Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) program which took off nationally among student activists across the nation. —o— CHARLES E.

with its home company, Erving Paper Mills of Erving, Mass. Declining sales is given for the closing, which will take place in about three months. Sprague Devices, Inc., Michigan City-based manufacturer of large, industrial windshield wipers, will move its Milford operation to its new Nappanee plant. It employes about 10 women at Milford. The Nappanee plant was built to manufacture a new motor for the wipers which have an international market, but the motor failed to excite the market. Thus, Sprague is left with far too much space at Nappanee, according to James F. Bennett, CEO for Sprague. In both cases community leaders are seeking other plants to fill the void. NOW ABOUT the proposed new Syracuse Town Hall and government building: It would appear at this writing very much like the Syracuse Town Board will put its stamp of approval on the building as proposed, although last. Thursday’s best combination bid was $44,297.23 higher than bids opened a year ago, on May 30, 1984. “Most of this is increases in labor costs,” said board president Carl L. Myrick. He admitted, however, that there are also some increases in materials costs. Myrick said it appeared to be the general concensus of the town board to go ahead with the building as planned, making no cuts in its size or general structure. “Certainly we don’t want to go thl-ough a redesign of the building,” he said. The board met last night (Tuesday) with the architect: also, Perry Glancey of Midwest Educational Services, Inc., and others to discuss details of financing and erecting the new government building. This higher construction cost isn’t all that bad, said Myrick, noting that assessed valuation in the town of Syracuse has jumped up $2,104,120 during the past year, and that interest rates have come down appreciably. • • •' -z The town’s valuation was $17,196,550 in 1984, and $19,300,670 in 1985, according to the state tax board, said Myrick. These two considerations — lower interest and increased valuation — easily wipe out the $44,297.23 cost increase. The new building is more than a town hall, board president Myrick said. It will include a , police station, township assessor’s office, township trustee’s office, town clerk-treasurer’s office, and a large public meeting room.

Health, so complex
By CLARENCE MCNEIL Guest Feature Writer Max Brennamen’s life literally hangs by a thread three time a week. The thread is a “unit” of his blood encased in a clear plastic tube leading from his arm to a filter of porous fibers. Actually an artificial kidney, it filters impurities out of the blood into a drain. This unit of blood equals the amount a donor gives or 500 cc. The purified blood coming from the filter is returned to another vein by a second tube. During the four hour session his entire blood supply has been through the machine six times. Max and Elaine Brennamen were Grace Brethren missionaries in Puerto Rico when kidney failure symptoms were first noticed. It finally reached the point where a plane trip was the only solution. Immediate dialysis treatment was essential. A transplant was not possible due to an age limitation. Elaine sweated through an intensive three-month course in every phase of operating the pump. She learned the correct procedure in every possible emergency. A power or water failure, fire or tornado would shut down everything. At the start and midway point of a run ananticoagulant called heparin isXjnjected into the blood to forestairclotting. Once there was a blood clot in the filter and that unit of blood was discarded. Blood pressure is monitored each hour or as his condition indicates. Body fluid builds up between runs and causes Max to gain from three to five pounds. This fluid level must be controlled through a limited diet. Also mineral elements such as potassium (a critical item), phosphorous, calcium plus proteins must be carefully watched. In removing this fluid during a run, if too much is taken out too quickly he might faint. When he feels this coming on, Elaine injects a saline solution into the blood line causing more water retention. The term “run” refers to the physical energy used and is equal
County households grow faster than populations
The number of households in Indiana will increase by 457,300 from 1980 to the end of the century, growing at a faster rate than the population, says Morton J. Marcus, research economist at the Indiana University School of Business. The 1980 census for Kosciusko County indicated there were 20,810 households. The projected number of households for 1990 is 26,400 and 31,200 for the year 2000. This is a 49.9 per cent projected increase in the number of households for Kosciusko County. The tentative projections appearing in the current issue of the Indiana Business Review, will be good news for the housing industry and other businesses that measure customers by households. “Many people were previously Families in action to learn of AA Milford Families in Action will hold a meeting Thursday, Jan. 24, at 7:30 p.m. ip the Community Building.

to four hours of actual running. A nap and evening meal follow the run. Several controls on the pump indicate exactly what is happening in the cleansing process. Should something go beyond acceptable levels, a flashing light and beeper spring Elaine into instant remedial action. In case of an electrical failure Elaine pops a small hand crank ftito a hole and takes over the pump operations. If a fire is discovered the two blood lines are shut off by clamps and cut. On one occasion a tornado was sighted nearby. The clamps were applied, the blood returned to the arm and they headed for shelter after only half a run. It was completed the next day. ‘Whirlwind Romance’ Max and Elaine met at a Parent-Teacher Organization meeting in March 1952 on Elaiqe’s birthday. It may not have been a “whirlwind romance” but it would certainly qualify as a stiff Breeze: Good Friday — first date; Easter — dinner date; Mother’s Day — he proposed; Father’s Day — she accepted; July 4 —a ring; October — married. * Elaine’s parents, Leo and Leila Polman, owned Winona Lake’s Garfield Hotel on Chestnut Street just south of Ninth Street.

concerned by our population projections that indicate very slow growth for much of Indiana,” says Marcus. “These figures should give the housing industry something more posititve to look at.” Certain types of businesses should find information about the of households more useful than population projections, the economist pointed out. “There are many things that are sold on a household basis as opposed to being sold a per-person basis,” he said. Such products include newspapers, appliances and, to some extent, electric utilities. While the IU School of Business Division of Research has been making population projections for nearly 20 years, Marcus said, ’ this is its first attempt since 1965 at forecasting changes in the number of households. The preliminary figures reveal that while population growth in Indiana will be a meager 6.7 per cent by the year 2000, the smallest increase since 1880, the number of households will increase by 23.7 per cent. The increases will hold true for nearly every county in the state, with Hamilton County leading the list with an 81.6 per cent growth. Only Benton County will have fewer households at the end of the century. , “Even counties that are slow growing or declining may very well have significant increases in the number of households

rooms and one bath it was typical of the many area rooms rented just for the conference season. Activity was so plentiful until 10 p.m. that a place to sleep was all people needed. Max has been Kosciusko County representative for four years of the Northeast District at Fort Wayne of the National Kidney Foundation. Money is raised in various ways for research into the kidney problem. This research has developed a new form of treatment called Continual Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis. A permanent tube is inserted into the abdomen and 2000 cc of a fluid is injected into the abdomen. By osmosis impurities are absorbed into the fluid and withdrawn after 45 minutes. Four CAPD treatments per day can be handled alone by the patient. Surgically sterile conditions must exist however as peritonitis could be fatal. One doctor is known to maintain his practice using CAPD on himself. Twelve years is the longest’ span of dialysis treatment on record. The patient usually succumbs to some other ailment seldom related to the kidney » failure. Max still has plenty of vigor to pursue many activities and lead an almost normal life after almost seven years of dialysis.
because of the changing age distribution bf the population,” Marcus said. Two major factors account for the relatively rapid growth — the number of adults and the size of each household. An increase in the population of people age 20 or older, the adults who actually form households, will result in 283,600 new households. A decline in the number of people in each' household will account for the remaining increase of 173,700. Changing Lifestyles Changing lifestyles have left their mark on the number of adults in each household, which has declined steadily from an average of 2.04 adults in 1960 to a projected 1.76 in the year 2000. These figures have been affected by divorce, marriage at a later age, single parents, longer lives and longer periods of independence for the elderly, Marcus said. . v The economist stressed that the projections are tentative and will require more extensive research. “It is a speculation that the economic and social forces which have tended to decrease the average size of households will continue to hold sway for the remainder of the century,” he said. Marcus said he hopes for feedback from businesses who find the information useful and would like to see further studies done. The Indiana Business Review, a bimonthly publication of IU School of Business, is available free of charge to anyone interested in copies of the economist’s paper.
