State Senator John Augsburger wants to join the Peace Corps

Senator John B. Augsburger is truly “a man of many hats.” Not only has he been a state senator for the past 12 years, he is also the owner of his own business, a member of the Mutual Federal Savings bank board and a pilot. On top of all that he is now even considering the Peace Corps. This lifetime resident of the Syracuse/Milford area became interested in the Peace Corps after speaking with the American ambassador of Jamaica. “I went in to speak about the American foreign aid to Jamaica thinking it would only take 15 minutes, instead I was there for four hours.” The discussion eventually led to the Peace Corps, a volunteer service which the ambassador felt Augsburger and his wife, Oweita, with a background in nursing, would be excellent candidates. Instead of serving as volunteers, Augsburger was persuaded into applying for the position as a country director, a position which would require the serving of a 2¥2-year term.

Profile

Many of the Peace Corps plans have been put on hold until the first part of next year until the completion of two business projects. In the meantime, the director of the Peace Corps has given Augsburger a book about small business enterprise. Augsburger hopes to place his contributing efforts for the Peace Corps in the field of small business. He noted that Africa has instilled much emphasis in small business. Africa may be a future possibility for the husband and wife team, but Augsburger stated he hopes to serve in an English speaking country. Until a decision is made, Augsburger is currently keeping very

ALCOHOLISM PROGRAM — Dr. Richard W.'Anderson, right, executive director for New Beginnings Recovery Center of Warsaw, was guest speaker for Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday morning, Aug. 8. Program Chairman Roger Coldren is pictured with the speaker. Anderson explained that one out of every four families face troubles related to alcoholism in some way. Alcoholism is 25 times more responsible for problems than all illegal drugs combined. Only two percent of all alcoholics reach skid row. The speaker pointed out that children have a 60 percent chance of becoming an alcoholic if one parent is an alcoholiic and this rises to 90 percent if both parents are alcoholics. He emphasized that alcoholism is a disease in which the inflicted persorf' has lost control. It can be diagnosed and it can be treated. Many times because of anguish and a feeling of guilt alcoholics do not seek help which is available. Sixty to 70 percent of alcoholics can be successively treated.

LOUISA'S LETTER (T;: 'A g=g

Dear Louisa, What do you do if a person will not discuss anything with you? If people would have an argument and get angry it would be better than just standing there and clamming up without saying a word. And when they just walk off and nothing is settled and I don’t know what they are thinking. Do you think it’s done to aggravate me or do you think they do this because they are afraid we will fight? What can I do about this? R.S. - Ind.

KRIS Since 30 bothered you so badly, I waited till 40 to publicly announce that you’re six years and one week older than I am! HAPPY 40TH! Your loving brother, Randy

busy with the expansion of his North Webster grocery store and the building of a new store in Goshen. The North Webster store, after completion, will include a bank, a case that seats 40, and a floral shop. Augsburger has been involved with the family business ever since graduating from Indiana University in 1956. His father, John F., who incidentally served as senator between the years 1968-76 previous to his son’s appointment, was operating the old Milford store. In 1961, Augsburger and his father opened a new Milford store, in 1965 the Syracuse store and in 1971 the North Webster store. Augsburger stated that he has much confidence in his son-in-law, Jim Evans, who currently oversees the stores. This allows Augsburger to enjoy his other endeavors and adventures. And adventures may be the key word for the future of Augsburger. When asked what he enjoys, Augsburger was easily able to name a variety of interests and hobbies including boating, sailing, flying, photography, biking and walking. He has also traveled extensively visiting family throughout the United States and traveling to many different parts of the world, one being a special favorite, Augsburg, Germany. Though the Peace Corps seems to hold a definite place in the future, he also hopes to try his hand at a few more adventurous tasks such as hot air ballooning, hang gliding and even sky diving. Augsburger has many responsibilities, responsibilities he hopes to relinquish in the near future. “I want to stop and smell the roses,” he explains with the easy going smile of a man filled with pride of past accomplishments. Augsburger, indeed, has plenty to be proud of. His five children have given him plenty to brag about, he has proven to be very successful with his local businesses and has gained much respect in regard to his political accomplishments. Augsburger has carried a variety of bills, has served as chairman of Natural Resources, served on the Indiana Film Commission, and has received a variety of awards for his political endeavors. This “man of many hats” and “too many stokes in the fire” has proven time and time again that he is indeed a man of great diversity. The past has already proven to be quite eventful and the future seems to hold much the same in the life of Senator John Augsburger.

Answer: There are many reasons why some people avoid arguments and discussions. One is that there may be children around and they hate to have a scene in case people get very angry. Another is that, as children, they were taught to repress their feelings because of fear. People who do this are likely to become violent when they do reach the point when they can be quiet no longer. Why not bring this matter up when there is nothing controversial to discuss and ask this person to talk about things with you while you are away from the children. Keep your voice low and stop talking if things seem to be getting out of hand. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532, Orangeburg, SC 29115.
