COMPLETE PROJECT — Ron Hibschman, chairman of citizenship services and co-chairman of the Needy Family Project, for the Wawasee Kiwanis Club reported Saturday, Dec. 21, over 115,000 had been given to the Needy Family Project. This consisted of merchandise, including food, clothing and toys, and money raised by the club in special projects during the year. Some of the money will be used for special needs during the coming year. Members worked all day and into the night on Thursday, Dec. 19, delivering the baskets, with more to be delivered. A total of 57 families had been helped. This included between 150 and 200 persons. Many children, who would have been without shoes, have new shoes and boots to wear. Rev. Mike Johnson, pastor of the Syracuse Church of God, was the guest speakerat Saturday’s meeting. He used the story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus with their gifts to Jesus, relating this to the service to God and others today, citing the Needy Family Project of the Wawasee Kiwanis Club as a demonstration of giving of gifts. Shown in the photo are Don Denney, project co-chairman; Rev. Johnson; Hibschman, co-chairman of the project; and Robert Sloop, president of Wawasee Kiwanis.
Guardsmen of Company A
The motto of Guardsmen in Company A, the First Separate Battalion of the New Jersey State Militia could have been if you can’t join them, form your own. The authorization by the New Jersey legislature of funds to form a black unit of the National Guard was unprecedented in 1930. The segregated Army and National Guard troop structure only allowed for three black units. The First Separate Battalion was the fourth and as such a violation of federal laws and not eligible for federal dollars. The state legislature’s prohibition of segregation in the postWorld War II era was also novel. It paved the way for the integration of the New Jersey National Guard in 1947 — the first to achieve that distinction. In 1948

the rest of the armed forces followed suit. A lot happened before that ". time. The battalion, consisting of Company A and Company B, received its first assignment in 1934 — rescuing victims of the SS Morro Castle, a cruise ship from Cuba, which was burning off shore. Through weather that stormed to hurrican-like proportions, the men didn’t stop to rest until the survivors were rescused. For this action the militiamen were cited for their courage and courtesy by Governor A. Harry Morre. Still, a debate raged between New Jersey, the National Guard Bureau and the War Department over the question of federal recognition as an official National Guard organization for the First Separate Battalion. By 1937 it was comprised of Headquarters Company and Companies A, B, C, and D. It was World War II that gave the battalion men their first actual recognition as Guardsmen from the federal level. As the mobilization of the National Guard for war service began, a vacancy in the troop structure was found. New Jersey’s First Separate Battalion was redesignated as the First Battalion 372nd Infantry Regiment, and was federally recognized in September 1940. In March 1941, the battalion was mobilized for federal duty and stationed at Fort Dix, N.J. In early 1945, the 372nd moved to Hawaii to prepare for the invasion of Japan. The war ended before the regiment deployed and it was inactivated in January 1946. In many people’s hearts, the battalion lives on. Nathaniel Maddox, Jr., and Spencer C. Moore were two of the charter enlisted men of Company C. Os their entire military experience, the two men recall most fondly their days in the state militia, especially when the entire battalion participated in parades. They and others played a significant role in American Black history and in the history of the National Guard. For that, they . deserve a 21-gun salute.

Many of the miracles of modern science, from the detection of trace amounts of pesticides in food to the search for organic compounds in the lunar samples, have come about The legend of the Christmas Cookie Christmas cookies. Have you ever wondered where they came from? It started with the first Christmas tree from Germany that was decorated with round wafers representing the Sacred Host as redemption and an apple for Adam’s fall. Later these were replaced with the Christmas cookies and introduced to America in the 18th century. Some of the heirlooms were cookie molds of tin, wood or clay. But as American women left the kitchens to join the work force after World War I the Christmas cookies and breads were put to the side.

cancer fight
because of a high-tech tool called ‘high performance liquid chromotography,’ or HPLC. The father of this technique is Professor Csaba Horvath, a project director of the National Foundation for Career Research (NFCR). The 55-year-old Horvath is now using HPLC to fight cancer. He is testing compounds suggested to him by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, NFCR’s scientific director, who won his Nobel Prize for the discovery of vitamin C. The National Foundation for Cancer Research funds such basic research in cancer because it thinks this is the quickest way to find a cure.
