WITH THEIR motorcycles geared to go, the Allen Brunjes family enjoys biking whenever possible. MJ photographer Dave Straub caught the family ready for another outing. Pictured on first bike are Cheryl and son Greg. On second bike are Allen and son Steve. To Brunjes, motorcycles are a “poor man’s tranquilizer.” He and his family recently embarked on a week-long trip through parts of central and southern Indiana as well’ as southeast Illinois. What resulted was an 825-mile journey filled with beautiful scenery and plenty of back roads. “It’s an exhilirating feeling when you ride,” said Allen, who has been riding motorcycles for 21 years. His wife Cheryl has been riding them for 15. “You can get a lot of enjoyment out of it and the cost is a lot cheaper.” So, Allen, Cheryl and their sons, Steve and Greg, packed lightly and took two motorcycles on a planned adventure. “The biggest thrill is that the kids like it so much,” added Cheryl. “Steve and Greg wanted to stay on the bikes the whole trip.” The family plans another biking trip. Possibilities are the Smokey Mountains and' the Grand Canyon. —o—

Red Cross warns of dangers

Tht? natural fear that both humans and animals have of lightning is well-founded and should not be taken lightly. “Lightning is extremely dangerous,” warned Norma J. Anglin, executive director for the Kosciusko County Red Cross Chapter. “Its powerful discharge of atmospheric electricity can kill, shock and burn.” Lightning storms annually account for many deaths and injuries, the ignition of forest fires that burn off thousands of acres of timberland and many residential fires. “Although lightning can strike anywhere,” said Mrs. Anglin, “it usually tends to hit the highest point in a given area —a tree, tall building or hilltop. Farmers, golfers, fishermen and others working or playing in open areas of land or water are in danger during thunderstprms. The best

PAUL REITH, vice president and manager of the Milford office . of First National Bank of Warsaw, advises that the bank is in the process of adding a “Moonlighter” automatic teller machine at the Milford location. Sidewalk superintendents have been watching the progress of this for the past 1 several days. Approval was given to re-open the drive at the July town board meeting. For those who don’t know, the ATM will be on the north side of the building and will be operational the first week in September. At that time an employee will be available to show customers how the new automatic teller machine can serve them after hours and on weekends. —o—- — AMERICAN Red Cross almost made it’s quota at the recent Milford Bloodmobile visit. The quota was for 110 units of blood. They received 101 units. One gallon donors were Tom G. Alexander and Lee A. Baumgartner. Two gallon donors included Gerald P. Hasty, Delbert . Moneyheffer, Larry W. Martindale, Ray A. Haab and Rudy L. Hochstetler. Dean Troup was a six gallon donor and Samuel R. Ellison of Warsaw was an 11 gallon donor. The next bloodlhobile is scheduled on September 4 from

course of action is to get inside when a storm threatens,” she cautioned. “When a person is struck by lightning,” Mrs. Anglin said, “he suffers a severe electrical shock and should be given immediate first aid treatment.” If the victim has stopped breathing, administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation immediately. Once breathing has been restored, burns or other injuries can be treated. Medical assistance should be summoned lyCiting safety precautions recommended by Environmental Service Administration, Mrs. Anglin said that wheji a storm approaches, shelter should be sought in a building — not a metal shed. If a building is not available, take refuge in a ditch, cave or ravine. Avoid tall objects — trees, telephone poles, anten-

A hint had come two days before from Dorothy (Kann) Szabo, who lives currently in Paris, France. Dorothy said she enjoyed her visit with Mary Ann and her daughter. Knowing that Dorothy had not come home, Mrs. Williams had a clue. It reminded her of a former student who is in Israel; she enjoys surprising her mother too — after she’s home safe and sound. To make a long story short, Mrs. Williams knew that Mary Ann had been enjoying foreign exchange students for two years. Paulein had come from Holland in 1984; Satu from Finland spent 1985 here. This year a girl comes from West Germany. Satu’s folks expresssed their appreciation by sending a ticket to Finland and Russia. Added to the trip was Holland, Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg. Mrs. Williams is glad both are home safe and sound; she thinks it might be fun to pull a fast one and go somewhere and tell afterward! —o—

nae, hilltops and exposed sheds. If the r e is not protection in sight, crouch in the open, away from trees, wire fences, clotheslines, pipelines* structural steel and other conductive objects. Stay off farm machinery. If swimming, fishing or boating, get of and off the water. Homeowners should protect their property with properly installed and maintained lightning protection systems, Mrs. Anglin said. When in a house during a storm, the Red Cross advises persons to stay away from open doors and windows, fireplaces, radiators, stoves, metal pipes and sinks. Do not use or handle current-carrying appliances such as radios, televisions, refrigerators, toasters, hair dryers, electric toothbrushes or electric razors. Golfers should not handle metal clubs, umbrellas and pull carts, nor continue to ride on electric carts. Fishermen should not handle metal poles, wet hand lines or flammable materials. Lightning strikes not only during a rainstorm itself, but during the muggy lull preceding rain. “When dark clouds threaten,” concluded Mrs. Anglin, “don’t risk possible injury or even death — seek shelter. Play it safe.” Serving our country LAWRENCE GORMAN Marine Pvt. Lawrence Gorman, son of Lawrence Gorman, Jr., r 2 Syracuse, has completed recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, Calif. During the 11-week training cycle, Gorman was taught the basics of battlefield survival. He was introduced to the typical daily routine that he will experience during his enlistment and studied the personal and professional standards traditionally exhibited by Marines. He participated in an active physical conditioning program and gained proficiency in a variety of military skills, including first aid, rifle marksmanship and close order drill. Teamwork and self-discipline were emphasized throughout the training cycle. He joined the Marine Corps in March 1985.

FROM MACHINE design comes the following information: What is a billion? A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but the advertising agency of Paulsen & Partners did a good job of putting that figure into prospective in one of its releases. A billion seconds ago it was 1951. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. A billion hours ago no one walked on two feet on earth. A billion dollars ago was only 10 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate Washington spends it.
