"It's time we put the hammer on these groups, or this thing will go on endlessly," Gingrich said. Gingrich is pledged to an ultimatum that the Wabash Valley hospital and the mental health clinic agree to a merger within 60 days or the commissioners will withhold appropriated for Construc The County Commissioners took action Monday to give formal support to an ultimatum that differences over plans for a comprehensive mental health center be resolved. Commissioner Floyd Gingrich asked that his two colleagues join him in a formal resolution that the two groups involved in the feud resolve their differences or $233,000 appropriated for the project will be frozen.

Commissioners Dale Remal-ey and Bruce Osborn pledged their support and County Attorney Harry P. Schultz will write the resolution to be signed next Monday. Gingrich reiterated that the feud over the planned mental health center on North River Road must be stopped by the leaderships of the mental, health clinic and the Wabash Valley Hospital. At a County Council meeting last Friday Gingrich suggested that the groups be given 60 days to end their feud over who would administrate the facility and its location. Monday, Gingrich said he did not feel the County Council or the commissioners had the authority to resolve the controversy and that there is more at stake than who is II' 1 4 1 liS '-if, gg MK mk mm tfWiLr'firvLA i lii Ill-J Women's League Urges Registration To Vote Varieties Performers Demand Stop the $200,000 was appropriated for its building.

But differences over who would administrate it and the present clinic's plan to move to downtown Lafayette until the new building is ready has delayed approval by state mental health officials. Dr. Ewing said Friday he has called for a Sept. 21 meeting of the groups to resolve their differences, but Klink contends that a meeting is useless until the clinic agrees to stay at the North River Road site. Other than putting the "hammer" on the mental health controversy, the com-- missioners met for a routine meeting in the county, engi- neer ofnee while the lax Adjustment Board met in commissioners' chambers, BIDS STUDIED Brian Dickerson, county engineer, expressed concern that his office had underestimated the cost of three county projects to be let for bids.

The commissioners then took under advisement the Fauber Construction Co. bids for projects on County roads 300S and 350N and Lily Road totaling more than $300,000.

i The League of Women Voters of Greater Lafayette has joined the voter registration drive of the two major political parties. The women's group is distributing information fliers in the community to urge those persons wishing to vote to register with a deputy registrar by Oct. 15, or at the Vot-j er Registration Office in the Courthouse by Oct. 5. League officials said Hoosier voter turnout was low in the 1970 primary.

Both parties now are canvassing precincts to make certain that everyone eligible to vote is registered. Voter registration files have been purged of the names of people who have failed to vote in any election since June 1, 1968. Those persons must now re-register to vote in the Nov. 3 election. tion of the center at the hos pital on North River Road, and $33,000 slated as the county's share of the clinic opera tion costs in 1971.

Spokesmen for both sides appeared before the County Council last week and told of policy and personal differences that divide them. The spokesmen were John Klink, president of the hospital board, and Dr. Kenneth Ewing, president of the mental health clinic board. The two groups agreed several years ago that the comprehensive center would be built behind the hospital and To be eligible to vote, citizens of voting age must have resided in Indiana six months, in their township 60 days and in their precinct 30 days prior to the Nov. 3 election.

One may register at the Voter Registration Office in the basement of the Courthouse. Deputy registrars also are throughout the community, and a person can request a visit from the deputy by calling the headquarters of either political party. Registrars also will be available at many public gatherings, including the Home Hospital Fair. Deputy registration will end Sept. 19.

Information about voter registration also can be obtained from Mrs. Cecil Cole, 607 Essex St. been residing in Connecticut, Miss Sprague said, "I guess it's only natural that I believe my father would be great in' Congress. "But I also believe that the majority of people in the 2nd District would feel the same way if they had the opportunity to meet him and talk with him. "He wants so much to help people with their problems and to speak for them in Washington.

I'm going to try and meet as many people here in Tippecanoe County as I possibly can, and I want to assure everyone that they will receive a warm welcome in our local headquarters. BLENDED WHISKEY 86 Sprague's Kin To Help Here Until Election Play Shaved To 1 Minute, Author Says An attempt to present a controversial off-campus production of a play entitled "Mid-American Blues" has entered Round 3. The play, written by Purdue University Prof. Mike Major, was to have been presented at St. Thomas Aquinas Center.

Purdue withdrew its support of the play because the audience is called upon by the cast to join in a pledge to the Viet Cong flag. Then, the Rev. Leo Piguet announced the center would not provide space for the production. Father Piguet said the center refused to provide the space because Purdue, with whom arrangements were made originally, withdrew its support. He added that the author-producer of the play had declined to allow a representative of the center to read the script for the play.

Now Major has announced that he will present an abridged version of the play at 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday on the front steps of St. Thomas Center. The abridged version will take one minute to present, according to the author.

Sprague said Tuesday incumbent Earl F. Landgrebe has turned down an offer from Home Hospital Fair officials to discuss campaign issues with him at Lafayette. Sprague, a Democrat from Michigan City, issued a stat-ment saying fair, coordinators were hoping for a joint Sprague-Landgrebe appearance Sunday but Landgrebe's office refused the offer. "I regret very much that my opponent would not accept," Sprague commented.

"Since both of us will be attending the fair," Sprague continued, "the citizens of Tippecanoe 1 County would have-had an excellent opportunity to hear at firsthand a discussion of the vital issues facing Congress during its next session. I shall continue, to work for an issue-oriented campaign." Sprague's. Michigan City headquarters said arrangements could be made for a "joint discussion or debate anywhere in the district at any time. Sprague's Tippecanoe County coordinator, Floyd Fithian, assured Home Hospital Fair officials that the Lafayette headquarters could schedule Sprague to meet Landgrebe any time during the fair and at Landgrebe's convenience. "If Landgrebe preferred not to debate Sprague," Fithian said, "we would accept any format he chose.

We could not convince the congressman that he owes this appearance to his constituents. In the absence of widely used local television throughout the district, both candidates should take every opportunity to meet with large, audiences," Fithian added.
