The selection of the "Appleton area" for synod headquarters waa approved by voice vote after a ballot vote resulted in a 281-112 rejection of an amendment that would have replaced Appleton with Seymour. In his address to the convention, Herder stressed the pioneering roU of his new assignment as synod bishop. "A new church with new bound-sries, new neighbors snd new structures calls for a new vision," he said. He said the three formerly independent churches that comprise the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America must be "a synod for all the people of God."

She eventually had three children by Famsworth, according to Emich. There is no record of her having been legally married to eitker Jacobs or Famsworth, but cohabitation and children out of wedlock were common in those dfys, according to Emich. Famsworth became interested ia Ellerbush said that, by choosing Seymour, the new synod could "identify with the earth and the land (and) the people who work it." Another delegate said Seymour's proximity to the Oneida Nation's Rodeway Inn and Austin Straube Field in Green Bay made Seymour a serious contender, despite its small aiaa. Supporters of an Appleton site said the significance of selecting Seymour would be strictly symbolic One delegate said the selection of Seymour would amount to an "empty gesture" and would do nothingto alleviate farmers' problems. The same delegate sdded that Seymour is merely a "bedroom community" of Green Bay, and not a true farm town.

Appleton, located in southern Outagamie County only about 20 miles from Seymour, was one of several communities considered for synod head quart ere. According to the Rev. Bruce Buslaff of the synod's aite selection committee, other communities considered were Wausau, Fond du Lac, Menaaha, Neenah, Shawano, Green Bay and Oshkoah.

Harder of Wsuaau was elected Saturday as the first bishop of the East Central Wisconsin Synod of the Evangalical Lutheran Church of America. Harder, bishop of the Northern Wtaconain District of the American Lutheran Church, waa chosen on the fourth ballot of the new lynod's convention at the Paper Valley Hotel and Conference Center. The two-day convention ended Saturday. In his remarks to the more than 400 deUgttea, Herder, 57, said much of his four-year term will be devoted to organizational issues arising from the merger of the American Lutheran Churches, the Lutheran Churches of America snd the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches. He stressed, however, that his primary role with the East Central Wisconsin Synod will be spiritual.

"The aspects of the ministry come first, Herder said. Herder, one of nine bishopric candidates to make it to the balloting phase of the convention, was the overwhelming choice of delegates. He got 297 votes on the fourth ballot. The next closest candidate, Appleton minister Chris Quello, got 29 votes. The convention showed less cohesion in choosing the Appleton area for its new headquarters.

Members of Seymour church said Seymour's central location in the East Central Wisconsin Synod and its identification as a "rural" community made it a mora desirable site than Appleton. The Rev.

'Qun Marinette' Sketched as young woman She cheated tfie federal government out of $100 in the Mixed-Blood Payment of 1849 by passing off her two illegitimate grandchildren as her own, Paulson said. She was rarely mentioned in newspaper articles of the day, he added. "She was not well known and she was not popular," Paulson said. He thinks the story of "Queen" Marinette was popularized in the 1880s when the settlement had a large number of foreigners working in die lumber business.

They could relate easily to the concept of royalty, Paulson said. There ia no evidence to indicate she was a descendant of a Menominee Indian chief, Paulson said. "But it's very hard to stop a legend," he added. Time has been kind to the legend of Queen Marinette in another way. While a sketch of a handsome Indian maiden is being used as the logo for the Marinette Centennial, the only known picture of Marinette shows a toothless older woman in a black dress.

Krohn said he believes the city became known as Marinette because the Indians and the settlers would talk of going up to "Marin-ette'a port" and they just shortened it after time. Marinette became known by local residents as "Queen" Marinette long after her death June 3, 1865 at the age of about 70.

Americas top managers must become more honest in defining their company's biggest problems. Unfortunately, International Paper has been unwilling to take this step. Here proof.

According to a recent analysis. I labor costs are far below the industry average. Compared to other paper firms. IPs labor costs run 11,100.00 less per worker per year than the industry average. Why? On the other hand, IP overhead, sales, and administrative costs are 21 percent higher than the industry average.

Therefore, it seems logical that IP's management should reward our productivity, and reduce Its overhead. But IP's top executives are being neither honest nor logical. Instead of solving IP's management problems and cutting overhead costs, they want to cut our wages. Fairness means that productivity should be rewarded rather than punished. Good management means that overhead problems should be solved rather than ignored.

These are just some of the reasons why the members of the United Paper-workers International Union are resisting IP's unreasonable demands for wage concessions. We only want to be treated fairly, and we hope that our friends and neighbors in Wisconsin will support us now that they have the facts. We thank you for taking the time to read this message.
