Chamber Sees Benefits A 8 Doctor Says Elvis Not Drug Victim ppqrted Bus Garage Mope Sty a -leases bus garage facilities on 25th and wants to move its storage, maintenance and repair fa- cilities to a larger site. Holladay said the Chamber has been looking for alternative sites to propose to the school board and that two good after-nates have been found. He declined to reveal the locations of the alternates, although he said they were financially feasible for the corporation1 and they did not have the traffic and access problems of the corporation's current site. Holladay said the school alternative sites, which would be acceptable to the school board. i The Chamber said the school's present proposed site is along a busy state highway, has access problems due to the highway and the nearby Con-Rail tracks, would detract from the appearance of that entrance to the city due to the many bus-, es which would be stored there and would cause traffic problems because of the size and speed of the buses entering and leaving the facility.

A toxicologist, Francisco said, noted that the medications were in the therapeutic range and individually did not constitute an overdose. All of the medications found in tissue samples were prescription drugs, the medical examiner said, and an extensive search for illegal drugs turned up no trace. Dr. George Nichopoulos, Presley's friend and physician, admitted the singer had "abused drugs accidentally" in the past, but said he did not think he had any drug problem.

Dr. Jerry Francisco issued a statement backing up his original report that Presley died Aug. 16 from heart failure at age 42.

"The cause of death has been ascribed to hypertensive heart disease, with coronary artery heart disease as a contributing factor," the report said. Francisco issued the statement in response to published reports that 10 prescription drugs, including Demerol and Valium, found in Presley's body might have contributed to the singer's death.

Holiday Center 376-0343 i 1 I The Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce's downtown council issued a statement this morning in support of the move of the proposed Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. bus garage from the site the corporation currently has in mind. The Chamber, through its president, J. Mac Holladay, said it feels the'site at 11th and Jackson, which is owned by the school corporation, poses several problems which could prove detrimental to the school corporation and to the community, and that it is trying to find BABY (Centlmied frvm Plot 1) enforcement building for questioning. As the detectives returned along Central Avenue at 23rd at 2:29 p.m.

they spotted Miss Shaw and the man on the street. Miss Shaw did not try to flee fte officers or resist -arrest. "We haven't had an opportunity to question Miss Shaw yet," said Sheriff's Deputy Michael Coy, who had worked 18 continuous hours until the child was found. "Our primary concern was to take care of the child. The child appears to be in reasonably good shape, but fatigued obviously." "I'm ecstatic," Coy said.

"It's like taking a 100-pound weight off my shoulders." "The main thing is the baby seemed to be all right, that's what we're thankful for," said Bartholomew County Welfare Director Henry Blessing, who was at the law enforcement building to see the child. "We're glad to get the youngster back. It's one of those things that we're concerned and afraid of." "We had driven every street in town," said Sheriff Jim McKinney. Two local businesses, close to where Miss Shaw disappeared, were being checked every half hour. When the child was recovered, "That was really a happy moment," McKinney said.

The foster home parents arrived almost immediately after police. "The foster home people who had this little girl saw Coy and myself speeding down the street with our red lights on and said something told them we had the girl so they followed us." ALARM (Continued from Page I) it was problems with the equipment, the telephone lines, the weather or human error. Engle said the ordinance was proposed because alarms monitored by the police department have been added without any planning, supervision or organization. The problem has gotten so bad that the police department has asked to be allowed to remove all monitors from the department. The city council and businessmen who use the alarms balked at that proposal and the new ordinance was proposed as an alternative.

Under the plans set out in the ordinance, telephone lines connected with private alarms of various types would terminate in the lower level of the law enforcement building and would be switched to the alarm monitoring panel upstairs using standardized equipment which would take up less room and would be more efficient. The committee projected an annual maintenance charge of 160 a subscriber, which would be paid by the subscriber directly to the company which installed the console at the police department, and not to the city. A one-time application fee to make sure the equipment is properly hooked on also might be charged, he said, adding that the individual subscribers would have to keep the equipment at their location in good repair.

NEWSOM. (Continued from Pege 1) edly a successful farmer in his own right.

His son, W.Terrell also was a farmer. "My father," Parker recalls, "fed lambs. At one time he had as many as 500 or 600. He used to raise cattle, too." Parker, a dedicated hog farmer since age 10, switched the operation to total hog production when he inherited the farm in 1953. Today, although he sows some wheat and soybeans, purebred hogs Yorkshires, Hampshires and Chester Whites are the number one product of the Newsom farm.

He and his son, Parker have 125 sows which farrow twice a year, raising both "seed" and commercial stock. One hundred, twenty-five sows weaning an average of eight pigs per litter is a lot of pork chops, but they say the farm "isn't big." They don't want to be too big. When you're closely monitoring bloodlines, you can't afford to breed too many hogs too often, explains Parker. "We don't breed all the time. We start in December, they farrow until April, skip May and June, farrow in July and August, then skip September, October and November.

It gives us a little rest." he said. The Newsoms "aren't big grain farmers," either. They own about 160 acres and cash rent 160 more. They don't raise corn, they buy it. They don't tie a lot of money up in.

tractors. They don't even own a combine. "There's where we invest our capital." said Newsom, pointing to the hog lot. He first became interested in hog farming at age 10. "It was about the first thing I really realized I could make money in," he explained.

His career in purebred hogs has seen him show at the Indiana State Fair 51 times, a record which was recognized at the state fair sale this year. He has won the grand champion award so many times he's lost count. He has been president of two state breeders' associations, and Newsom hogs have appeared many times at the International Livestock Show at Union Stockyards in Chicago. Parker's wife, Mildred (''Everybody calls me is the farm's bookkeeper. She also keeps track of the bloodlines of each pig in the Newsom herd.

She is the daughter of former Bartholomew County Sheriff John W. and Stella Bennett Foust of Hope. Mildred, the oldest of three children, has one sister (deceased) and one brother, Dr. Joseph Foust, superintendent of Greensburg Schools. She attended Hope High School, graduating in 1938.

Her husband graduated from Clifford High School in 1934. The Newsoms have three sons. While B. Parker 39. assists his father on the farm, his brothers, W.

Terrell III. 36, a veterinarian in Merrillville and Joseph Randall, 31, Princeton, have left the homestead. All are married, and the senior Newsoms have six grandchildren. Parker association with the 4-H Fair was honored recently when the fair board presented him with a plaque noting 50 years of service. Despite all the trophies the Newsoms have won, it is the only award displayed in their living room.

He started as a member, then became a leader at age 20. When the first 4-H Fair Board was organized in 1957, Parker Newsom was on it. The biggest achievement of that board was moving the fair site from 25th street to its present location at the old County Poor Farm. He notes that ii is "one of the nicest, fairgrounds in the state. "Of course," he adds, "I'm prejudiced." He is still involved with the fair, even though he left the board in 1960.

During his tenure, he served as viee president and officer in charge of swine. Parker Jr. holds the same office today. These days, he assists with the livestock sale. 4-H has changed quite a bit since Parker Newsom showed his first hog.

"When I was in." he says, "you generally had your choice of pig, lamb or steer projects. Now they've expanded to urban kids and. if they're of a mind, there's a project for them." It's been a long time since Parker Newsom joined the 4-H Chtir It's been a long time since he bought his first purebred hog. And still, next to home and family, they are the most important things in his life. A And.

The quarter's earnings were the second highest for any third quarter in the company's history, exceeded only by 1976 third quarter earnings which were affected positively by an ihventory adjustment totaling $2.9 million. Prior to 1976, the best third quarter earnings were the $6,236,000 achieved in 1972. Henry B.

Schacht, chairman of the board, said sales and earnings returned to the seasonal pattern in the quarter just ended with margins affected by plants being out of production for two weeks due to the annual vacation shutdown. Schacht said third quarter margins also were affected by initial manufacturing costs resulting from full production of the new Big Cam design NH engine which offers improved fuel economy. He said rising material and labor costs were not offset by a price increase until late in the quarter when engine prices were increased an average of 6.8 per cent on Sept. 1. Schacht said the full impact of the price increase will be realized in the fourth quarter.

Earnings in 1977 are forecast to substantially exceed the record $58.6 million of last year. Cummins now is forecasting 1977 United States heavy-duty truck production of 183,000 units, the third best year on record, with 48,400 of these trucks expected to be built in the fourth quarter. An estimated 90 per cent of this year's shipments will be diesel-powered. This new forecast is very close to Cummins' original forecast of 186,000 units. The diesel engine manufacturer predicted its unit sales to the truck market will exceed any previous year.

The company achieved a 46.6 per cent share of this market for the first eight months of 1977. The company said international sales have continued the gradual improvement begun in the second quarter. Industrial sales have continued at the level of the past 18 months, although the number of different applications offering Cummins power is increasing steadily. Cummins said.

He said that many of the citizens' requests cited approaching winter weather and the sub-sequent slowdown of construction activities as a reason for the conduct of an emergency meeting.

"We are aware that delays can affect the potential employment outlook for the area residents." Hert said. "However, the board has the responsibility for assuring that water pollution control laws are adhered to and past performance prompted the board to require special assurances from Rose Aqre Farms, Inc." A proposed management plan. Hert said, was submitted to board staff earlier in the week. However, the plan lacked many of the elements considered essential to the project and it was determined that ad: ditional documentation is required. Hert said.
