make something good happen,” Daffara stated. “You may not know it, but you are leaders in the community and leaders in the county.” Although $600,000 is the stated goal of the fund drive, Daffara said that a total of $725,000 is actually needed by the 22 (soon to be 23) agencies that the Kosciusko County United Way supports. He asked the audience not to fall short of that goal. Pointing out that the United Way gives county-wide support, Daffara asked “Who could say no” to the requests of these agencies, and answered, “No one. No one wants to say ‘no’ and we should not say ‘no.’ For we as human beings have a responsibility to love and care for those in the county who for one reason or another need deserve services, or are less fortunate than ourselves.” A would-be state leader also spoke at the luncheon. Steve Goldsmith, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor talked about the “hollowing of America.” Blasting television as a the primary shaper of values in our country and lamenting the erosion of institutions such as religion, Goldsmith said “We need to do a better job as a community of letting the young people of the community know what are value systems are.” Called a strong supporter of the United Way by Daffara, Goldsmith said that law enforcement is not the only answer to the ills of society. Rather, he said, community social agencies can help as well. “A community as progressive as Kosciusko County can prove it’s worth even in a greater way by helping the people who are
either less affluent or more in need as the result of some sort of handicap or delinquency or otherwise,” said Goldsmith. Daffara said that more than $1,000,000 could be raised countywide and exhorted the audience to “Thrust yourself, your hearts and your souls into the campaign. Be aggressive, but diplomatic. Be optimistic and enthusiastic but patient. Be humble but effective, not passive nor incumbent.”

meeting that was held in the ladies’ lounge of the North Webster United Methodist Church. The group now meets twice a month and is very active in promoting quilting education and in supporting charity and community service activities. On October 15, the Lakeland Quilt Club and the Puzzel Quilters club from New Paris are cosponsoring the Indiana Quilt Registry Project for this area. It will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, Warsaw. Anyone owning a quilt, old or new, is welcome to have the quilt registered. Pictures will be taken and as much information as possible will be recorded about the quilt: date made, types of fabric, pattern design, etc. A book containing all the pictures and information will then be made up and placed in the State Archives at Indianapolis. A quilt registry has already been completed in Ohio and is now underway in other states, including Indiana. Quilting is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language as being, “Two layers of fabric with a layer of cotton, wool, feathers or down in between, all stitched firmly together.” Almost as old as time itself, quilting can be traced back to the Egyptians. In the beginning it was strictly a functional and practical necessity and had little artistic or decorative value. In Europe, Asia and the Orient, quilted clothing was worn for warmth. When knighthood was in flower, quilted padding was worn under suits of armor and chain mail to prevent bruising.

With the settlement of America, quilting took a new turn. For economic reasons, every small scrap of fabric was saved and “recycled” into something useful. An exchange of goods and ideas, between people of different ethnic backgrounds can be seen in the thousands of unique quilt patterns and designs handed down from generation to generation. The most common form of quilting, as we know it today, is used to make bed coverings and small decorative items for the home. Frontier women who could not read or write and who had no knowledge of created complicated, intricate, creative and artistic quilt designs that are admired today for their ingenious beauty. Children were taught to sew as soon as their small hands could properly hold a needle. Many men also enjoyed quilting and became as expert as the women. Often when a quilt was to be made, the husband and wife would decide together on a pattern and design. If there was some special event in their lives they wished to record or remember it would be worked into the quilt design. It wasn’t unusual for an avid quilter to complete 100 or 200 quilts in a lifetime. 'Fashion' is topic for club Joyce Phaneuf vice president, opened the September 5 meeting of Charm and Chatter club held at the home of Ruby Badskey. Olive Locke was assistant hostess.
