Bose, an Indianapolis attorney recognized as an expert in school law, told a joint meeting of the school board and the Hammond Public Schools Holding Corporation: "Be sure your body is representative of the whole community This corporation is not yours and yours and yours (pointing at individual members of the Hammond group) Make sure New TV Channel Will Have News iilli plill L.

Whether the gentleman of Swedish or Italian descent is the better lover is not yet resolved, despite considerable debate. One scientific school contends the Swede gets bald earlier now that is a fact and it is commonly believed that bald men are superior lovers. But another team of experts points out the Italian has more hair on his chest and that is also a factand such masculine upholstery is known to be highly stimulating to the opposite sex. So it's unsettled. Am sending it back to our Love and War man with instructions to take sides.

High time we got that one cleared up. Why doesn't some Johnny Appleseed go through the timber country planting dogwood trees? Not just because they're good to look at. Dogwood is deer food. Find a fine grove and you'll get your buck, mister. If that's your bag, as it were.

At any rate, a lot of deer die off from lack of nutrition every year. But not among the dogwoods. Our name game man says Ralph is a Germanic title, which translated precisely, comes out "Wolf Who Likes to Talk About It." Do you know any Ralph who fits this description? I do not. Exactly.

"The female of the species does not appear at her best when heaving a bowling ball. Even a young lady who is an absolute knockout strolling in her girdle down the street tends to seem a little overstuffed stooping at the foul line.

Lady bowlers all look like they're leaning over washtubs. I recommend golf." Do you remember when the electric razor first came out? It was 38 years ago. I have never shaved that way, but a customer claims he can still get a passable shave with such an instrument given to him for Christmas 25 years ago. Isn't that a fairly long time for one of those things to keep working? Would have thought stainless blades might have knocked the bottom out of the electric razor business, but apparently not.

The project is expected to cost $14.2 million. Bost said it is customary unless contractor bids are received on all three buildings at about the same time to use a separate holding corporation for each school.

He said the holding corporation does not function until the bids are in and to wait on all three would cause undue delay. Other points on which Bose touched in his 2'i-hour talk and question-and-an-swer period included: 1. A holding corporation is, in actuality, a finance board. 2. The building project should reflect the educational thinking of the community.

3. The school board and not the holding corporation is responsible for an adequate and efficient educational program 4. How hard the taxpayers are to be hit (in the pocketbook) at any given time determines the length of the lease; 15 years is the shortest bond period allowed. 5. A 1 per cent attorney's fee on a $4-5-6 million bond issue is "outrageous." 6.

There is no law which says a bond issue must be processed by an attorney. 7. Guidelines governing the workings of the corporation and the school board are an absolute necessity. Bose was asked numerous questions on the fees paid attorneys in handling bond issues and in working for a holding corporation. "You're not really expecting somebody from Indianapolis to come to Hammond and tell you what to do about attorney fees?" he said.

"I'd be quartered and drawn Bose defended the attorney as a professional man and said "you get what you pay for He said exorbitant attorney fees on bond issues are as much the fault of school boards and municipalities as anyone's. "Lawyers must be well paid," he said, "but when the bond issues are astronomical, be careful." The Hammond Taxpayers Association announced earlier it will fight the bond issue if the corporation pays bond attorney fees. The association charges the fees will amount to $80,000 to $100,000 for "about four days' work." The taxpayers group charges that the school business manager has processed school improvement bonds for the last "30 years" and that the administration should process the $14.2 million issue. Bose said few business managers are capable of performing such tasks but that much of the work the lawyer would do can be done by a good business manager and you have one Business manager for the Hammond schools is Eldon Teten. Bose added that cutting the attorney fees, in his opinion, is a poor way to save money a good attorney can do you more good than most people I'd hate to see the thing hung up on money.

Certain problems must be overcome. The main obstacle facing WCAE is the small staff of three men and one secretary. Lou Iaconetti, director of the station, said he, Yates and chief engineer James Sheetz have relied heavily on high school teachers who have donated their time, manning cameras and assisting with production.

Students also receive semester credit for working in the studio. With an additional engineers on the staff, the station could expand evening programming. Most taping for the evening shows is done on Tuesday and Thursday nights, forcing a 15-hour day for the people connected with the station. "The teachers receive no additional pay for the time they contribute," Yates said, "We appreciate their interest in helping us to gain the goals that have been established." On the bright side for taxpayers, the station has managed to stay well within its budget. The station is expected to become entirely self-supporting within three years.

As the schedule of programs increase, a per pupil fee will be charged for schools utilizing the facilities. Increased interest in the daytime study courses has been expressed by classroom teachers, principals and superintendents in surrounding school districts. Iaconetti said, "We're beginning to receive fan mail, which is encouraging to us. People are expressing their interest and appreciation of, our efforts. We welcome viewer reaction, whether it's criticism, complaints or suggested improvements." Viewers can send their comments to WCAE, St.

Prisoners Trv Break CROWN POINT Convicted killer Luciano Monserrate, was taken to the Indiana State prison at Michigan City-Monday to await his April 2 date with the electric chair. Meanwhile, it was learned that Monserrate and three other prisoners tried to break a bunk bed apart at the Lake County Jail Sunday night. Warden Harry Sclin theorized the men may have been trying to get something to use as a "pry bar or a weapon" in order to escape. Selin said he heard the disturbance from his apartment at the jail and investigated.

The other prisoners were not identified. After Monserrate was sentenced Monday by Judge T. Cleve Stenhouse, two deputy sheriffs transported him to the prison. Monserrate, 23, of East Chicago, was convicted by a jury Nov. 30 for the March 29 slaying of Sharon Diane Potts, 19, of Gary.

Her body was found in an East Chicago alley. A companion charged in the snooting, Luis Montes, 16, also of East Chicago, was convicted of manslaughter in the same trial. He was sentenced Monday to a 2-to-21 year term in the state reformatory. car and drove toward the hospital 15 minutes later. At the intersection of U.S.

Health Unit Gauthier said today he is "committed' to an administrative assistant's position in the Richmond, health department. "I hate to leave the city, but if I can do a better job elsewhere without being hindered I will have to move. This is my life's work," Gauthier said. Gauthier said he "appreciated'' the council's action.

He added: "As of this dale, I have not heard from any member of the board of health this certainly indicates to me that they were not concerned with my resignation." lit- 3TI 1 ST. JOHN Equipment installation has been completed at WCAE-TV. The Channel 50 educational station, operated by the Lake Central School Corporation, is presenting more than 20 hours of programs weekly. The newest piece of equipment, a wire service teletype, was made possible through the combined efforts of Mercantile National Bank and Northern Indiana Public Service Co. Several newscasts will be presented daily for the benefit of home viewers and students.

Station personnel anticipate the newscasts will benefit students in classes studying current events, history and government. To improve acoustical effects, ceiling-to-floor draperies have been hung inside the studios. Overhead studio lights are in place. Program interests span all age groups from pre-schoolers to adults. The most popular adult programs are the Friday night sports shows.

Public relations director Carl Yates said the station may expand the sports programs to encompass more than football and basketball. Lake County lawyers will present a series of programs on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. dealing with topics of general public interests in laymen's terms. Christmas programs will be telecast Rezoning Delayed CROWN POINT A controversial rezoning request in Bon-Aire subdivision in Ross Township was deferred by the Lake County Plan Commission Monday after 16 subdivision residents opposed the request. Developers of the subdivision sought to change zoning of adjacent property from restricted residential and light industrial use to R-5, which allows construction of apartment buildings.

Fred Ferres of 5710 Taft Place, spokesman for the remonstrators, said the subdivision "was represented as a single-family dwelling area" and said this was apparently a "misrepresentation." He said approval of the zoning request would be "unjust." The developers want to construct a series of 12-unit apartment buildings and have offered a 22-acre tract, which includes a 19-acre pond, as a park site for the subdivision. Dr. J. J. Forszt, a Lake County commissioner, suggested deferment "until the board can further acquaint themselves" with the site.

The motion was approved. The commission could not make up its mind on whether to allow Edward J. Glinski to operate a salvage yard along Ind. 8 at Leroy and referred the matter to the Lake County commissioners without recommendation. Glinski said he purchased a former lumber company and is operating the salvage yard at the site.

He requested a zoning change from B-3 (business use) to M-l (light industrial). Opposing the request was Dr. Alexander Shevik, who owns adjacent property.

Councilmen Joseph Bercik and Paul Duncanson played variations on Councilman John Skurka's theme that something is radically wrong." While blasting the health board, the board heaped praise on Gauthier, Skur-ka calling him "an extremely competent man whose resignation is a loss to the city."
