The life«»and times of one of America’s leading businessmen and philanthropists. Eli Lilly, is explored in the biography. "Eli Lilly: A Life. 1885-1977." recentlypublished by the Indiana Historical Society. Lilly was a summer resident of Lake Wawasee with the Lilly familystill maintaining an estate there. Written by Indiana UniversityProfessor of History James H. Madison, this first, full-scale biography of the Hoosier-born Lilly considers his private life, his modest but strong-willed character, his family and friends, his personal disappointments and satisfactions, and his deliberate effort — beginning in his 40s — to develop what he called "a proper outlook on life." "Based on Prof. Madison’s insightful use of Lilly's personal and business papers and onjnter views with dozens of people, the book is a revealing look at the life of one of Indiana's great men,'' said Dr. Peter T. Harstad. society executive director The biography's 10 chapters explore Lilly's long life and the wide range of endeavors in which he made major contributions. Under his active leadership, the pharmaceutical company he joined in 1907 evolved into one of the industry's giants.

research, which brought about a major success with the development of insulin in the 19205. "His intense d?ive toward efficient pharmaceutical production, profitable scientific research, and high employee morale shows a businessman determined to succeed and a businessman whose career reflected fundamental features of the history of American enterprise,” Madison notes in the book's introduction. Although hard working. Lilly did acquire a number of interests outside his business activities. In the 19305, he nurtured a passion for prehistoric archaeology that led to significant scholarly publications and to financial and personal patronage that helped bring Indiana archaeology to professional maturity. Later, Lilly also explored the fields of history, historic preservation and Chinese art. His intellectual pursuits ranged from the mysteries of a Delaware Indian narrative called the Walam Olum to the intricacies of character development and moral behavior in children. "Some of his intellectual pursuits might be judged romantic, native, and even foolish, but all showed a man passionately engaged in quests that were fundamentally important not only to him but to many others." said Madison. During the last three decades of his life Lilly donated millions of dollars both personally and through the Lilly Endowment. He quietly became one of the major philanthropists of 20th century America, giving to such areas as archaeology, character research, community service, higher education, history and religion Some of the groups benefiting from Lilly's generosity included the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. Indiana Historical Society. Indianapolis Museum of Art. Indianapolis Children's Museum. Earlham College.- Wabash College. Butler University and the Episcopal church. "He was different from many rich benefactors, however, for he stood personally at the center of his giving, actively engaged in setting agendas, passionately striving to ensure his gifts would have consequences for others and even for the human condition.

Lisa Schloss appointed president of CAPC

(By MARY BETH BILTZ Staff Writer The Child Abuse Prevention Council of Kosciusko County is an organization in its infancy; Lisa Schloss, as newly-appointed president of the group, hopes to oversee CAPC’s maturity. Schloss sees a definite need in the county for a group such as hers; as an elementary counselor, she comes into contact with many area children who are victims of the different forms of abuse. CAPC’s objective is to prevent child abuse through public awareness and education of alternatives to abuse, available facilities, available therapy. But, first, the public must be aware of CAPC. "I don’t think we're very visible yet.” says Schloss. "This was the first year we had an information booth at the fair — and 1 think that really helped. We raffled off a tricycle •at the fair and also at Pioneer Days. These have been some big successes (in becoming betterknown).” The abuse prevention council was formed three years ago. much to the credit of Warsawresident Bonnie Gore, who acted as the council's president until this year. The executive officers currently include Schloss as president; Don Wilka, presidentelect; Bill Curl, secretary since CAPC’s inception; and TammyLeaky, treasurer. "We’re still missing a vice president," says Schloss, who notes that due to the organiza- ' tion’s youth and obscurity, membership only totals approximately 25 persons. Members range from some professionals in social work and counseling to many concerned citizens. Schloss. 25 and a native of Fort Wayne, earned a master’s in social work through Indiana University and came to the Warsaw school system two years ago as an elementary counselor. "I'm a people-oriented person.” she says. "I love kids, and I’ve been working with them for about seven years now. — Kids aren't consciously aware that NEW STYLIST — Patty Birkel is a new stylist at New Attitudes Hair Studio.

they can have control over abuse and self-esteem, and you have to teach them these things. " The sessions Schloss conducts with elementary students include developmental growth lessons, self-esteem boosters, abuse awareness, peer pressure and problemsolving. Quite often she counsels individually and also in small groups about such topics as divorce., friendship and selfesteem. Schloss has the qualifications to become a therapist, but feels that would be in addition to her current job. not in place of it. Though she and her husband. Bob, now live close to South Whitley. Schloss always wanted to work in a school system, which is why she enjoys her job in Warsaw so much. Because she knows the children of this area, when she and her husband got into the foster parents program, she checked into cross-placement policy, so that they are able to take in Kosciusko Countychildren. A former Big Sister, Schloss has now turned her attention to CAPC.

Through experience, she agrees with CAPC’s tenet of prevention. When she has done all she can for a child or family through professional and legal means. Schloss understands the value of trying to help before-the-fact. not just after it. Though she explains, that Kosciusko County does not have a great deal of resources for the abused and the abusers. Schloss maintains that help is always available. As part of its public awareness campaign. CAPC acts as a referral service and has organized a speakers bureau and resource library to provide organizations with informational programs. “We need to identify the gaps in the system such as the lack of foster parents,” says Schloss. “But we’ve found out one of the biggest gaps is the lack of public awareness that child abuse is a real problem in the community.” More information on CAPC may be obtained bv contacting Schloss at 723-5627 or 267-3238, or calling president-elect Don Wilka at 267-7169.
