PERIODICALS ARE now available at North Webster Library and may be checked out for one week. Some editions have large print. GRANDMOTHER SAYS, “I think women in this part of the country really do not like or want to buy those far-out clothing fashions that come from New York. Why doesn’t a good designer start making clothes here that are pretty, feminine and designed for real live women — not for six-foot tall emaciated looking models. The dresses now in the stores seem to be intended to make women look bulky, bunchy, sloppy v and most unappealing. I hear many similar complaints from friends.” TILL NEXT week.,.

It happened ... in North Webster

10 YEARS AGO, DEC. 3,1975 The North Webster emergency ambulance fund received a check for $1,553.91 early this week from proceeds of the Friday, Nov. 14, fish fry held at the North Webster Junior high school. The fish fry was put on by teachers, staff,

Kiwanis Club presented program on education

Charles H. Greenwood, assistant dean of the School of Continuing Education at Ball State University, Muncie, presented a program on the importance of proper education for the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, Monday morning, Dec. 2. Greenwood acknowledged that schools must prepare students for taking charge of the “educational spaceship.” The beginning for this training starts with the elementary school, according to Greenwood, who pointed out, “As students move on through secondary school and graduate from high school their diploma must be more than just a symbol. The speaker emphasized that parents, teachers, and communi-

Joint organization planned

In an effort to maximize resources and coordinate marketing efforts, representatives from counties in North Central Indiana are proposing a joint industrial development organization. Counties contemplating the joint venture include: Elkhart, Kosciusko, St. Joseph, Marshall, Starke, Fulton, a portion of LaPorte'and possibly Wabash. An initial meeting to determine the level of interest within the counties was held recently and four areas of program activities were discussed: Regional marketing, current regional issues, networking and regional resource bases. Kosciusko County’s representative, Deborah Wiggins, president of the county’s economic development agency, Kosciusko Development, Inc., said she looks forward to the impact that such a group could have on the regional industrial development efforts. $1,200 damage in backing incident Damage has been estimated up to $1,200 to two vehicles involved in a two-car accident at 12:30 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22, in the parking lot of Augsburger’s Super Valu. Syracuse Police Chief Robert Ziller reports Rodger K. Southern, 38, r 1 box 149 Syracuse, was backing his 1973 Buick into a parking space and did not notice a 1982 Plymouth driven by Kerri L. Evans, 20, r 5 box 90 Syracuse, who was pulling into a parking space. The right rear of the Southern auto struck the passenger door in the Evans auto. Damage was estimated up to S2OO to Southern’s auto and up to SI,OOO to the Evans auto.

custodians, bus drivers and others connected with the school. Nearly 1,500 were served. The first annual Charity Ball will be held in Camelot Hall at North Webster on Saturday, Sec. 6, from 9:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The ball is being sponsored by the service organizations of the

ty leaders all have a responsibility to help students take charge of the spaceship. In high school training there must be adequate preparation in English, mathematics, science, and citizenship responsibilities. In other business, Kiwanis Spiritual Aims Chairman Dean Hartle announced that a Christmas tree, donated by club member Robert “Smokey” Haines, is to be placed on the front lawn of The Counting House Bank. The tree will be lighted December 15 and a Community Christmas Sing, to which the public is invited, is scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 22, at 3 p.m.

“Even though each one of our counties has a different need,” she said, “there is obviously some areas that we can pool our resources and come out a winner when competing with other areas of the state.” In order to expedite this group as a functioning regional agency, Mrs. Wiggins said she will be making a formal proposal regarding the direction of this group for 1986. Her proposal will include the formalization of the agency with articles and bylaws, an ongoing project where monthly meetings will be held with half the meeting designated to panel discussion from representatives. The third recommendation will be to concentrate efforts in sponsoring a regional trade show with participation limited to only those counties in North Central Indiana. This trade show would be similar to that of Hoosier Hospitality Days, but differ in that prospects would be identified by representatives of each of the counties and a massive solicitation would be made for prospects from the states of Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. The next meeting of this group will be in January.
