While thty lattl SW Dear Editor, So often people are so qukk to write letters when they are dissatisfied with a situation or product. This time, however, because of the past weekend I decided to write a letter to the Community of Indiana. As one who Is very much a sentimentalist, I would like to thank all the people responsible for the prepa- rations for Jimmy Stewart's 75th Birthday Celebration and In fact, the whole community, who made my husband and I totally welcome to your lovely community.

On our arrival in your town we Immediately went to the Chamber of Commerce office to find out information on the schedule of activities and were greeted by an extremely friendly and gracious woman who, 1 believe, was the secretary. She is indeed a credit to the Chamber of Commerce office. She Is conscientious and was very helpful and enthusiastic about all of the up-coming events. It didn't seem to make any differ save What a Sale appreciative Walnut Creek, Calif. Dear Editor.

I wanted to write to you to tell you bow wonderful my stay in Indiana was (during the Jimmy Stewart Birthday Celebration). From the moment I arrived I felt as if I belonged. Your news team is terrific, and I must admit, it was a nice feeling to be back in a bustling newsroom again. Malcolm Alexander the sculptor of the Jimmy Stewart statue 1 and I went to Oklahoma and presented a Chamber of Commerce there with a bronze Jimmy Stewart Medallion, a blue T-shirt, and copies of the Indiana Gazette. They were delighted.

My children went to school today IUP pins, Jimmy Stewart T-shirts, and carrying copies of the Indiana Gazette. I phoned Jim Blair (Hall Blair's son who also lives in tyalnut Creek, Calif.) and gave him a detailed report on my wonderful journey back to his hometown. There are so many people I would like to thank. How about the entire town? Everyone made me feel welcome the clerks in the stores, people on the street who stopped to say hello and chat and say "welcome, have fun." Art Miller (head of the statue site committee) cooked us and Cable Neuhaus of People Magazine a gourmet dinner and drew us maps of the city and was our constant source of direction and tour guide. Mrs.

Mary Clark (committee member) took us to lunch and then XOIO FASHIONED 'MlJlil FfllENDW SERVICE 'lBMJ' of reception gave us all keys to her home so we could shower, change in short, call her home our home and we did Ron Thomas (committee vice chairman) took time from his busy schedule to take me shopping, helping me pick out gifts from Indiana for everyone back home. A special thanks to the police department for all their help in setting up the press conference and seccur-hig the area around the courthouse for mc. They were tough, but with a great sense of humor. I really hated to say goodbye to Indiana, Pa. Like Jimmy; 1 felt Like I had come home, too.

I still have the key to Mary Clark's home and I intend to keep It: Gives me an excuse to came back again very soon. Congratulations to everyone involved with the wonderful celebration. The stores that decorated, the folks who put up banners, the kids in the parade, the bands, the dinnerdance committee, the welcoming committee, the decoration committee well, the entire town -the coverage seems to be world-, wide. Everyone loves Jimmy Stewart, and if, like me, they had the chance to spend a week in Indiana, they would find that everyone there is a friend to be treasured. Now I'm going to take my six rolls of film down to be developed so 1 can brag about my jaunt to anyone who will listen and look.

it i' I 1 ATTENTION RESIDENTS OF THE ELDERTON AND SHELOCTA AREAS A major overhaul is being completed at the Keystone Generating Station which requires scale removal from piping using high energy steam. This steam will be blown to atmosphere to assure adequate cleansing of the piping system. We apologize for any discomfort you may incur from the noise levels achieved during our operation, which will take place during ihe week af June 5lh. THANK YOU, KEYSTONE STATION MANAGEMENT response to letter Dear Editor, 1 am writing in response to the letter from the "proud" Marion Center student in Tuesday night's Gazette. I was very upset (furious is more the word).

I am also a proud member of my high school band which is Blairsville Senior High. Our band, as well as Homer-Center, United, and Indiana, to mention a few, also participated in the Jimmy Stewart Birthday Celebration. All the bands, in my opinion, did a very fine job at the parade and all should be commended, not just one because they played for Mr. Stewart. I realize it must have been a real honor to play and maybe they should be recognized, but I feel it was recognition enough just to be asked to participate.

The media coverage was very good. I feel our majorettes, who are Indiana Area first place winners; our -colorguard squad; drum majorettes: band: and band director. Mr. Robert Dellaposta; as well as any other band; band front; and band director deserve as much recognition as any participating group. Irene Landis Blairsville A very proud Blairsville senior and member of the Blairsville Senior High Color Guard Squad Gives thanks for reunion Dear Editor, We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the committee that made the Green Township High School Reunion a great success.

It was a beautiful, organized, well run event, and we congratulate everyone concerned. Special thanks to Louella Grom-ley, Janet Anderson Houck, Ruth Coalmer Batik, and the Omni personnel. The Omni was bursting with 650 wonderful people. It was a very memorable event that shall be remembered by all who attended. Very trulv yours.
