WHEN THE Indiana Lions go to Guatemala in November they will be taking along four wheelchairs which were donated to the Milford Lions Club by Doug and Linda (Levy) Coy of Syracuse. District Governor Leon Ridenour of Laketon, left, had visited the club early last spring and told of the need for wheelchairs in the Central American country. Making the presentation to Ridenhour is Fred Weisser, right, second vice president, who headed up the drive to collect the wheelchairs. According to Past International Director Jim Cameron of Urbana this year’s delegation will take 10 ambulances along with the wheelchairs, clothing, eyeglasses and other items to Guatemala this year. About 30 Lions from Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan will be making the trip. , —o— A NEWS item elsewhere in this issue of The MJ tells about three Cromwell siblings making their debut on the big screen in December when “Sisters" is released.

‘Driven by Vision’ is ISPB report theme

“Driven By Vision” is the theme of The Indiana Society to Prevent Blindness 1990 annual report outlining progress and success in the fight too eliminate needless blindness. Celebrating 40 years of saving sight, the society recalls the programs that have been the foundation for service to the community and describes the growth that has allowed 80,111 different Hoosier citizens to receive information and/or services during the fiscal year. In fiscal 1990 the society has: Screened 17,600 pre-school children for amblyopia; Provided 3,000 home eye tests throughout the state to encourage parents to test pre-school

The society has also established its safety incentive programs in five new corporations. More than 3,500 men and women have saved their sight by using protective eyewear during potentially blinding accidents during the 40 years of the program. Eye disease and blinding injury rob more than 1,000 persons in Indiana of their vision each year.

State Treasurer O’Laughlin announces record earnings

Marjorie H O’Laughlin, treasurer of state, announced September 24 record earnings for the state of Indiana portfolio for the second straight year. O’Laughlin reported total earnings of $213,279,306 for fiscal year ending June 30, 1990. The total smashed last year’s record of $165,985,957. “I am proud to announce that the treasurer’s office is supplying the state’s coffers with record earnings, especially at a time when there is concern about the stability of other revenues. Every extra dollar I earn through sound business management means a dollar less has to be raised through taxes. This year's earnings alone represent S3B for every Hoosier,’’ O'Laughlin stated. The total earnings include state general fund receipts of $107,275,387 and state trust fund receipts of $106,003,919 on an average daily balance of $2.64 billion. The rate of return was 8.07 percent, one-tenth of one percent over the average three month treasury bill rate for the year. “I am particularly pleased that the general fund earnings of over $lO7 million topped the 1989-1990 original general fund investment revenue forecast of $55 million. This offset a substantial portion of the shortage in corporate, sales and individual tax revenues reported for fiscal year 1989-90. Without these additional investment earnings, Indiana would be in a much worse financial condition,’’ O’Laughlin added. The total general fund earnings for the four fiscal years O’Laughlin has been in office is $271,327,577. This was the highest one term total for any state treasurer in Indiana's history. The treasurer’s investments not only earn money for the general and trust funds, but also serve as a vital economic development tool in Indiana. The $773 million average daily balance of certificates of deposit with Indiana financial institutions provides extra dollars for the growth of Indiana’s communities. The financial institutions can stimulate economic growth by loaning these funds to businesses and individuals. “These investments,, along with the commitment to the agribusiness economy through Indiana AGEX, the Treasurer’s

United Way campaign extended

I By JULIE MOORE Staff Writer Jim Evans, 1990 United Way campaign chairman for Kosciusko County, said Monday that the countywide campaign will be extended one month to the end of October. As of Friday, Sept. 28, the county had reached only 43 percent of its total $672,000 goal. According to Evans, the main reason for the shortcoming falls on the industrial division, one of nine United Way divisions in the county with specific goals. “Most of the major donations come from the industrial division and they’re still in the process of inplant campaigns,” explained Evans. United Way campaigns typically run from mid-September through October. However, officials kicked off this year’s campaign on Aug. 20, about one month earlier than in previous years, and expected to close in

Farm Program and the infrastructure development aid of the Indiana Bond Bank make the treasurer’s office a vital link in Indiana’s economic health and stability. This is particularly rewarding because it is done for the benefit of Hoosier taxpayers at virtually no cost to them,” O’Laughlin concluded. The substantial return on the treasurer’s investments is especially significant in light of Indiana’s conservative laws. Investments, in general, are limited to certificates of deposit in Indiana financial institutions, repurchase agreements and securities guaranteed by the United States government maturing in less than two years.

the end of September. Adjustment to the new time frame accounts for pledge delays particularly in the industrial division where volunteers must wait to receive pledge cards, tabulate them and tally the total, said Evans. “It takes time to get totals back,” noted the campaign chairman, who said extending the deadline will give everybody a chance to donate. “Overall, the campaign is going well, it just takes time.” Leesburg, Milford, North Webster and Syracuse comprise the northern communities division. As of Sept. 28, 90 to 95 percent of Syracuse’s goal, 98 percent of Leesburg’s goal and nearly 100 percent of Milford and North Webster's goals have been pledged. In the northern communities division, 1990 United Way goals are as follows: Leesburg, $1,300; Milford, $1,200; North Webster, $6,000; and Syracuse, SIO,OOO. “It’s important to realize these

numbers are individuals and small business,” stressed Evans. “A lot more comes from the community, they are just in a different division.” For example, industries in Milford contribute to the industrial division. Conversely, donations from Augsburger’s Super Valu in-store campaigns go into either Syracuse’s or North Webster’s community totals. In a campaign push, both stores will lure customers to donate to the United Way by giving out free pizza on Thursday night and free breakfasts on Saturday morning. By divisions, 1990 United Way goals are industrial, $508,160; professional, $50,600; business $24,500; education, $22,500; northern communities, $18,500; selected prospects, $13,500; southern communities, $8,140; United Way agencies, $7,600; and government, $3,500. Anyone wishing to donate should contact the United Way office in Warsaw at 269-2592 or Jim Evans at Augsburger’s in Syracuse.

Field begins at 2:30 p.m. with tickets available at the gate. For further information about tickets or events, contact the Alumni Department at Grace College (372-5600) or Jenifer Wilcoxson (372-5124). Pedestrian deaths Those out walking and jogging should be aware of motor vehicles. More than 7,000 persons are killed and 80,000 injured every year when hit by them. Safety experts say these accidents are primarily the pedestrian's fault. The accidents occur mostly between 3-5 p.m. in fair, warm weather, and the majority of victims are persons 65 and older. — Health News Network A harp The small metal hoop that supports a lampshade is known as a harp.
