Wheeling, Muncie, Pier 536, Lake Wawasee, reported an attempted break-in of the home on Tuesday, July 17. Nothing was found missing. Items Taken Kevin Stahly, 1169 Wawasee Circle, Syracuse, reported TuesFlat Sheets I inherited some good sheet sets, but they are all flat sheets. To remedy that, first. 1 removed the hems at both ends of each sheet that I wanted to make fitted and trim. When doing so, be sure to leave at least eight to 10 inches overhang. You will be able to judge this by laying the unhemmed sheet over the mattress for a guideline. Second, I rounded off the corners and made a casing at each end, making sure it was wide enough for elastic. Then I drew the elastic through each casing and stitched it securely at each end to hold it in place. Better than that, a really quick and easy “cheating” method is to just tie a knot in each corner. It fits perfectly. Jan G., Yuma. Ariz.

NEWLAND PRESENTS TRANSPORTATION STUDY TO KIWANIS —The Lakeland Kiwanis Club met Monday, July 16. George Applegate introduced the special speaker, Jim Newland. Newland is conducting an intro-structure for the Indiana Department of Commerce and Transportation, which is a study of all of the state highways, sewer systems, bridges, etc. Newland said, “Most of our systems are old and wearing out. If the state is going to attract new businesses, the condition must be reversed.” Statistics were given that, in the 19605; one mile of interstate roads cost $700,000; now it costs seven million dollars. We should be spending one-hundred million dollars a year, but we are spending 40-million. Pictured are Jim Newland, and George Applegate, Kiwanis Club member.

Henry Ford’s birthday July 30 marks the birth date of the man who “put America on wheels” — Henry Ford. Born in Dearborn Township, Mich., in 1863, Ford is probably best known for his contributions not only to the automobile industry, but to mass production. He revolutionized American industry with the assembly line and intrcxiuced a then unheard of $5-a-day wage for automobile workers. But of course, one always links Ford’s name to his famous black Model T, the first car designed for the mass market. The Model T first appeared in 1908, and Ford had sold more than 15 million by 1927, when production ceased. Ford died April 7, 1947, in Dearborn. Recipe File 1 cut out recipes from magazines and copy others from books. I recently rewrote all of them on colored index cards. I used the different colored cards for each food category: green cards for vegetables, white for meat and blue for desserts. This sure made finding recipes much easier, and it makes me feel that I'm more organized. lola G., Dalton, Ga.

Pied Piper anniversary According to 16th century accounts, on July 22, 1376, citizens in the rat-infested German town of Hamelin bargained with a pied piper to lure the rodents out of town with his music. The rats followed the piper and his charming music and drowned in the Weser River. When the townspeople then refused to pay him, the piper lured their children out of the town and into a hole in a hill, never to be seen again. Later historians suggested that the tale of the pied piper actually referred to the departure of Hamelin’s young men on colonizing adventures in 1284.

The committee will oversee administrative affairs not covered by the finance committee. 1991 Budget The board also gave its stamp of approval to the 1991 budget for the CVB. Set at $170,000, this budget figure is the equivalent of the projected income collected from the room tax for 1991. This figure will be presented at prebudget hearings of the county council in late August. In another matter, the board approved an expenditure not to exceed $23,000 for the production of a video of the county. The eight to 10 minkte feature will highlight what is available in the county. In other business, the board motioned to proceed with negotiations for a one year lease agreement between the Greater Warsaw Area Chamber of Com merce and the CVB. The chamber will charge the CVB a monthly rent and building maintenance fee of SSOO. This reflects a monthly charge of S3OO for rent and S2OO for building maintenance.
