anniversary. As noted by speaker Ron Sharp, it was 25 years ago that the county’s historical society was formed for the purpose of preserving yesterday’s history for tomorrow’s generations. Following last night’s banquet, approximately 200 guests heard guest speaker William W. Erwip

recount his youthful days visiting his grandfather in Winona Lake, and his later years as one of the last mint farmers in the area. In general, he spoke of history as he saw and experienced it. A life-long farmer, Erwin has served as an agricultural consultant in the US Environmental Protection Agency, Indiana State Senator, and Assistant US Secretary of Agriculture. He was also a presidential appointee during Watergate. Erwin is currently a member of the Farm Credit System Assistance Board. In honor of the hHistorical society’s 25th anniversary. Erwin spoke of the cannon which once sat on the Kosciusko County Courthouse lawn. “That was my first sense of heritage,” he explained, noting that his father told him the large weapon stood as a symbol of appreciation to those who fought for this country. That cannon has since been replaced. Erwin also voiced concern over the memorials that mark the graves of those who died during the wars. “The memorials of those who gave it all are in shambles; the beneficiaries are well-kept,” he said, hoping to spark interest in renewing those memorials in need. Following a hearty round of applause for Erwin, the annual business meeting of the Historical Society was held. President Kenneth Fawley announced that repairs and construction at the Jail Museum have put a strain on the society’s budget. Additional members and donations are constantly needed. Fawley briefly spoke of several landmark projects the society is proud to be a part of including the Pound Store Museum. It was noted that a flier promoting the Pound Store Museum and asking for donations will soon be sent to all members of the society. 1991 Officers At the close of the evening, new officers were elected.

The invocation was given by Mrs. Paul Thornburg. The newly formed Lakeland Quilting Club met recently at the home of Norma Moser, with 16 persons present. Members participated in a lesson and demonstration of cathedral window-style quilting, given by Wanda Gebhart and Ruth Dunker.

Jones selected to run for county council seat

Harold Jones, a 46-year old resident of Leesburg, was chosen yesterday (Tuesday) as the new Republican candidate for the 2nd district county council seat that is up for grabs in next Tuesday’s general election. Jones, owner of Jones Food Center in Leesburg, was chosen to run for the county council seat, which was left vacated by the unexpected death of County Councilman Bob Hartzell on Saturday, Oct. 27. Hartzell was seeking his second term on the council. J.D. Geiger, Kosciusko County Republican Chairman, made the announcement of Jones selection yesterday morning after the Repubjicjan central committee researched state statutes regarding this type of situation and looked at candidates to fill the spot. “He has a good head on his shoulders, an open mind, and I think he will make a fantastic councilman,” said Geiger of Jones selection. In the November 6 election, stickers with Jones’ name will appear inside the ballot as he is pitted against Democratic Charles Cain for the 2nd district council seat. The Republican party did have the option of leaving Hartzell’s name on the ballot, allowing voters to vote for the party that way, then appointing a person to fill the position after the election. Geiger commented that he felt that selecting someone to fill the ballot was fairer for county voters, which was why the GOP acted promptly to appoint Jones. Jones, who has served as Plain Township Precinct Two Commit-

20 YEARS AGO, OCT. 28,1970 Mary Rupprecht entertained the Chain O’ Lakes 4-H Club on Oct. 5. The meeting was opened by vice president John Rhodes.

teeman, noted that he recognizes the solid waste issue and the problem of jail overcrowding will be big issues in the county as it enters into the '9os. Private hospitals Private hospitals in America are now under some tough new federal rules designed to dissuade them from dumping patients who can’t pay on public facilities. The law now requires hospitals to examine and treat patients in emergency rooms before asking them whether they can pay. Before transferring a patient, the hospitals must now receive, in writing, a patient’s informed request for transfer and a doctor’s certification that the benefits of the transfer outweigh the risks. Failure to comply can expose the hospital to loss of participation in Medicare, a $50,000 fine and possible lawsuits by the patient and the hospital to which the patient is transferred. Signs explaining the changes were posted in hospital emergency rooms by July I.— Health News Network
