THIRTY-EIGHT percent of those taking their own lives since 1979 were age 51 and older. Os the 33 persons who took this route since Jan. 1979, nine were women and 24 were men. The national concern has been with those under the age of 21. However, Kosciusko County figures reveal that only six percent were in this category. Below is a breakdown in percentage by age groups: Below 21 years —6% 21-30 — 21% 31-40-21% 41-50-14% 51-60-21% 61-82 -17% The worst year of that period (1979-Sept. 1985) was 1983, when seven persons, six men and one woman, took their own lives. Other years: 1979, two men and one woman; 1980, four men and one woman; 1981, one man and two women; 1982, two men and three women; 1984, five men and one woman. So far this year four men have taken their own lives. Kosciusko County has provided several programs for the elderly with Federal, State and United Way funds. Mobile meals, nutrition site lunches, and other programs available in this county have improved during the past several years.

S —o— ALL WILL BE SWEETNESS when the GOP has its $12.50 per plate bash on October 10 at the fairgrounds, guest speaker Gov. Robert Orr will have praise for County Chairman Jean Northenor. Indications are that the county chairman was not happy because she did not get on the governor’s referred list Indiana county chairmen. However, when the governor praises the County chairman, there are a few things he will be required to overlook. These are: Her news story blasting the governor on his planned overhauling the present auto license bureau system — taking this patronage plum away from the county chairmen. j Another item to be overlooked is his receiving only 60 percent of the votes cast in 1984 as compared to 65 percent in 1980 Also, prior to June 1, the county organization had contributed only six percent of its assessment to help keep the state GOP office open. However, Hoosier politicians have away of getting around such “microcosmic” problems. Back in 1950’s when U.S. Congressman Charles Halleck and U.S. Senators William Jenner and Homer Caphart were all trying to control the party, it was interesting to watch them. When they met at the state convention, one would have thought that they were long lost brothers who hadn’t seen each other for 20 years. Nonetheless, they always stayed at arm’s length from each other because of all their back-stabbing. Playing politics in Indiana has been compared to playing Russian roulette with all chambers of the gun loaded. —o— ALARMED,OVER SUNSET COMMITTEE both county Assessor Avis Gunter and Turkey Creek Township Assessor Charlene Knispel are alarmed at the possibility that the tax base in Indiana will be radically changed. Presently a sunset committee from the State Legislature is holding hearings on the assessing of property in the state. Both Mrs. Gunter and Mrs. Knispel have testified before this group, urging that the present system be maintained. Mrs. Gunter pointed out that all that is needed is an educational program for the local township assessors. According to reports, some members of this committee are toying with the idea of establishing a “fair market price” and this is the basis upon which property would be assessed. Presently, personal and real property is assesses at thirty-three and a third percent of the market value. Some states have adopted the full market value. This has proven to be disastrous to some property owners. Some of these same taxpayers have seen their taxes increase between 300 to 400 percent. If you wish to voice an opinion, you can write to your General Assembly members, they are: Representatives: Thames Mauzy, 1025 Country Club lane, Warsaw, Ind. 46580; Gregory Mishler, P.O. Box 202, Bremen, Ind. 46506. Senators: John Augsburger, Route 4, Box 265 D, Syracuse, Ind. 46567; V. Richard Miller, P.O. Box 498, Plymouth, Ind. —o— ESTATE — The worth of the estate of the late Charles Hurst, of Syracuse, has been determined as $115,115.20 with the expenses of $12,665.05.

USDA’s Human Nutrition Information Service computes the cost of food at home for four food plans — thrifty, low-cost, moderate-cost, and liberal. Suzanne S. Harris, acting administrator of the Human Nutrition Information Service, said the plans consist of foods that provide well-balanced meals and snacks for a week. In computing the costs, USDA assumes all food is bought at the store and prepared at home. Costs do not include alcoholic beverages, pet food, soap, cigarettes, paper goods, and other nonfood items bought at the store. ‘‘USDA costs are only guides to spending,” Harris said. “Families may spend more or less, depending on such factors as where they buy their food, how carefully they plan and buy, whether some food is produced at home, what foods the family likes, and how much food is prepared at home. “Most families will find the moderate-cost or low-cost plan suitable, she said. “The thrifty plan, which USDA uses to set the coupon allotment in the food stamp program, is for families who have tighter budgets. Families with unlimited resources might use the liberal plan.” To use the chart to estimate

your family’s food costs: — For members eating all meals at home — or carried from home — use the amounts shown in the chart. — For members eating some meals out, deduct five percent from the amount shown for each meal not eaten at home. Thus, for a person eating lunch out five days a week, subtract 25 percent or one-fourth the cost shown. — For guests, add five percent of the amount shown for the proper age group for each meal. Costs in the second part of the chart are for individuals in fourperson families. If your family has more or less than four, total the “individual” figures and make these adjustments, because larger families tend to buy and use food more economically than smaller ones: — For a one-person family, add 20 percent. — For a two-person family, add 10 percent. — For a three-person family, add five percent. — For a five- or six-person family, subtract five percent. For a family of seven or more, subtract 10 percent. Details of the four family food plans are available from the Nutrition Education Division, Human Nutrition Information Service, USDA, Federal Building, Hyattsville, Md. 20782.
