Letters to the editor
Dear Editor: First, I want to express appreciation for the space you give in The Mail-Journal for, news items from the Wawasee Kiwanis CJyb. These items have been printed in their entirety and this is appreciated by our club. However, I would like to ask for two corrections to be made that appeared in recent articles, if possible. In the article in the January 20 issue “Trauma Center for Kiwanians,” the Kiwanis Indiana District goal was printed as $25,000 for the trauma center in a five-year
Relatively speaking — Winter is good time for genealogy
By DORIS McMANIS CAMDEN The dark, dreary days of Winter in Indiana have arrived. Christmas has passed, and there doesn’t seem to be much to look forward to except spring and an occasional smile from the sun through the clouds. But there is reason for optimism. We have reached the pinnacle of the shortest day of the year. Gradually, we will ’ see a little more daylight. These days and long evenings can be put to good use by genealogists. ■ nr DORIS MCMANIS CAMDEN Try organizing your records, notebooks and files into something that someone other than you can understand. Make a list of the genealogy columns in the areas where your ancestors lived (and where descendants may still live), then send in queries, always keeping a carbon copy for'your files. Write to the distant relatives who might be able to help you. You will no doubt find that some of them will become true friends. Use the Warsaw Public Library and the research library in the

This should have read “a goal of $250,000 for five years with $252,000 being raised the first year.” The title did not express accurately the substance of the article. I know that the ' writer does not select the title but only suggests one. The trauma center is not for Kiwanians, but Kiwanians are helping to provide the center for children suffering ■ with trauma.

Neither library is restricted to Kosciusko County information only. The Ft. Wayne library has not been crowded recently. Even working people can go there on the weekends. FOR THE CHILDREN: There, is much Johnny Appleseed lore in Ft. Wayne, and his grave is there. In an Ohio book, I recently found information that may be new to us. The article states that the quaint character was born in Massachusetts, probably at Springfield. The year is unknown. At an early date, his father brought the large family to Marietta, Ohio. John came west a few years later. Johnny Appleseed’s name was really John Chapman. At a young age, he became a devout member of the Swedenburg church and took to an ascetic, outdoor life. (Ascetic means very strict in religious duties, disciplined, a hermit, and denouncing worldly desires.) He devoted his life to the welfare of others. His love of the forests called him to lesser populated parts of the country. (To be continued.) 267. Would like information about John E. Bowers who resided in Syracuse in 1916.

21. According to Senator John Augsburger (R-Syracuse), author of the legislation, Senate Bill 23 gained the approval of the full Senate and now will be sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. If enacted, eligible communities could receive state matching funds to create or maintain parks and recreational areas. The funds also could be used to preserve historic property or for community forestry efforts. This legislation is a direct response to decreasing federal funding for such community improvement projects. “Recreation plays a major role in most everyone’s life,” said Augsburger, “thus it is important that our local communities have some mechanism for developing and maintaining recreational facilities. “But few of our communities have sufficient resources to carry on recreational improvement projects without seeking aid from other sources. By making state matching funds available, we can help many Indiana communities to develop their recreational resources to their full potential,” added Augsburger. According to Augsburger, the enactment of Senate Bill 23 would complete the first legislative step by establishing the program. Funding for the program then would have to be secured during a future session of the General Assembly.
The rules of conduct for team members have been spelled out in no uncertain terms in a handbook given each player at the beginning of the year, so one can find little excuse when infractions do occur. In this case, the player’s dad tried to intervene with school authorities for the player’s reinstatement on the team, but to no avail. School officials are to be complimented for staying with the rules handbook, not so much just as a lesson to the player in question, but as a reminder to other players not to flirt with rules violations.
as written, stated that Wawasee was the Outstanding Club winner in 1985-86 out of more than 200 clubs in Indiana. Somehow, at the end of the line, the article was printed as 20 clubs; a zero had been dropped. I was an editor for 26 years and I know that errors can be made in the setting of type and even though proofreaders are supposed to catch such errors, they do not always do it. But these two statistical errors were somewhat serious ones. Harold H. Hazenfield Editor, Wawasee Kiwanian

No injuries in four accidents at Syracuse
' There were four accidents in Syracuse over the weekend. While no injuries resulted in any of the incidents, one arrest was made. Icy conditions at Wawasee Car Wash, CR 1250 N, contributed to a one-car accident at 6 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 24.

BIIW ■ 191 WMeSBISB 9W' 4-4 EEs 'jl * I > mt I ■ lr n vWr Jarayte*■IA PREPARING FOR GROUP LEADER TRADE SHOW — For the first time ever, a Group Leader Travel Show will be held in Indiana and specifically, at Amish Acres in Nappanee. Focus of attention will be on the Marketplace which will feature Indiana attractions. Over 20 of Indiana’s most outstanding attractions will be spotlighted at this show. Charter Bus Unlimited and the Indiana Tourism Development Division are jointly sponsoring the show and close to/100 group tour organizers from the state of Michigan will be traveling to Indiana to be part of this special event. Lisa Kunker, deputy director at the Indiana Division of Tourism, will be present at the show and announces, “Amish Acres has the distinction of being the first attraction to host this type of trade show. Previously, cities have been the hosts, and locations have been Toledo, Ohio; Flint, Mich.; London, Ontario; and Windsor, Canada.” She also stated, “The state of Indiana has noticed that the Group Leader promotional opportunities, such as those supplied by Charter Bus Unlimited, have provided the quickest return for the investment.” Charter Bus Unlimited has designed five tours featuring destinations in Indiana. They include visits to Nappanee, Indianapolis, New Albany, Richmond and Wayne County. There are four major parts to the Group Leader Travel Show at Amish Acres: group lunch, travel slides of Indiana, entertainment special to Indiana and Marketplace, where Group Leaders meet face to face with vendors. The central location of Nappanee, as well as its proximity to Michigan were major considerations in the selection of Amish Acres as host for the show. The up-to-date facilities, easy accessibility and rustic charm of Amish Acres create a unique atmosphere which is representative of Indiana itself.
Regional approach asked on study Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. voting delegates, along with a majority of those representing the American Farm Bureau, have asked for a study on the impact of a regional approach when implementing assessments for dairy program costs. Mike Zimmerman of Milford was a delegate. At the AFBF convention last week in New Orleans, voting farmers took such a resolution out of their policy book and authorized their board of directors to support a Farm Bureau study to be completed by July 1 of this year. Farmers from all 50 states and Puerto Rico also reaffirmed their policy to support one national dairy promotion program operated by the congressionally designated 36-member National Dairy Board. The AFBF supports an asssessment on imported milk and milk products based on whole milk equivalent equal to the per hundredweight amount collected from dairymen in the United States. The nation’s largest farm organization, with 3.6 million member families, also supports research to determine a “noeffect” level for antibiotics in milk. Patrick Medley booked on DWI <9 Patrick M.

If we do this, we can continue to. live on this land and pass it on with pride to future generations.” He encouraged the group to study incineration and recycling to develop long-term solutions to a statewide problem of waste management.
