Other interesting facts about Comet Halley, as it is. known in scientific circles follow : Comets do not streal across the sky, although they may give that illusion, but move with the stars from east to west, reflecting the earth’s rotation. If you check each night, you will see its real movement in comparison to the stars. Comet Halley’s nudeus is five miles in diameter. At its farthest distance, its speed is 1,900 miles per hour. (This is the top speed of an F-15 fighter plane.) Its speed closest to the sun is 97,000 miles per hour. It’s believed to be made up of the same materials the solar system was formed from. It is about 16,000 years old.

The closest Comet Halley will come to earth is some 30 million miles on April 11, 1966. If you wish to try to View it, you should be in an area free of pollution, haze, and city lights. Observe on nights when the moon is not up. If you can venture far enough from the city, it should be visible with binoculars or a small telescope. Allow your eyes 10 to 20 minutes to adapt to the darkness. I American author Mark Twain was born during the 1835 appearance of the comet. He had written that since they came in together, they should “go out together.” However, Twain died just one day before the reappearance of the comet 75 years later.

Beware! Junk mail can be dangerous

DON HURST Guest Feature Writer Whoever coined the phrase “junk” mail certainly chose the proper word. For years I filed all my junk mail in the waste basket so I really do not know when this latest “mail-out” scam began. Since retiring, I decided one day to read all of it just for curiosity’s sake or out of sheer boredom, perhaps. After having waded through the usual department store mini-catalogs and insurance ads, I began opening the sweepstake mail. There were about four that day. One particularly took my eye as it had very large letters: “You may already be the winner of 2 or 3,000 dollars.” I thought, now that makes a bit more sense than the others which offered millions of dollars, always adding “Sendyour entry with your order! ” Opening this letter, I noticed it wasn’t quite as long as the regular ones but a bit wider (up and down). To my surprise, inside this first envelope was a second sealed envelope. It had a picture of a very demure-looking pretty girl on one side in a highnecked night gown with a sleeve above the elbow and floor-length. The caption read, “Have I got a surprise for you!” Then I noticed one corner said, “Do not open if you are under 18 or easily offended.” By then surely the perpetrators would know anyone under 18 would open it for sure! And I wondered, “What about the thousands of dollars I may have already won?” So, I ripped it open with abandon and stared at the first page of a mini-catalog in utter bewilderment. It was nothing but the usual doo-dads in a porno book at

THERE IS a new sandwich available at Jennie’s on Main Street. It’s the Frontier Burger. The sandwich is made of buffalo meat and has received mixed reaction. Jennie said one customer took one bite and left the rest. A second customer ate the first sandwich and ordered another one. MARK YOUR calendar and plan to attend the Milford Kiwanis Club’s pancake and sausage breakfast on January 11 in the community building. They will be serving from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. with proceeds going to the sesquicentennial fund.

any adult bookstore except all of these items were for sale by mail or by calling an 800 number and using a credit card! The past couple of years I had lived near an army base and had heard of potions and pills being able to be bought “if you know the right clerk at the exchange.” I was an evangelist for my church and lived among the addicts for over two years, not having to much luck getting them to church, but being older, a lot of kids (into the 20s) would sit and tell me all their experiences, especially the college girls. So I knew, after I skimmed this catalog quickly, exactly what dangers to look for. Sure enough, there was cinnamon, plum, cherry, and strawberry flavors of love potions (one and the same I had heard of before and now here in ‘little old Indiana’) they were being mailed-ordered! My mind quickly zoomed back to five girls whom I knew were put in mental institutions because of these potions being given them by, a 23-year-old soldier who ended up with a very bad heart and impotent thus negating the ad completely. My mind also drifted to what if a child, say 12-17, got a hold and sent for any of this junk. Os course out west the preliminaries, according to all my girl friends, were first beer, then a joint, then coke (meaning snorting powdered cocaine) and then they were too high to know what was going on. But toward the back of the catalog were leather straps for sale, also nylon wrist and ankle handcuff-type bracelets which could be attached by a strong nylon strap and a picture depicting their use. In that type of situation, a person would be incapacitated without drugs beforehand. Os course there were the usual hard core pornographic videos for sale by mail just by calling 800-!!!-!!!!. Also books and other unmentionables in the same vein. Now my brain kept clicking on these missing children ads constantly on TV and other places. I called the post office in Elkhart and was told it was perfectly legal to mail anything to anyone. The courts had decided! Isn’t is time we parents, grandparents, and everyone who cares what our future government officials’ brains will be dulled with, our nation totally ruined, take a stand? It makes me feel like Noah before the flood. Everyone write to your Supreme Court Justices, Jane Fonda, or even Nancy Reagan. Mrs. Reagan is very much against drugs of any kind. I know I certainly don’t want any part of it but there’s little we can do about the PX exchanges and adult bookstores, but can’t we keep this antichrist type horror out of our mail boxes? Serving, our country
