"It would be easier to destroy them than to leave them to plague our community." 'I Republican Flays Aspin on Defense Charles Coleman, a Republican candidate for Congress, hit at incumbent Democrat Les Aspin's positions on national defense. Coleman said Aspin has-claimed "through numerous press releases" to be on the side of the GI, yet he and McGovern "are seeking to deny the money which is needed to provide the safest and most advanced equipment for our armed forces personnel." Aspin and McGovern are also misleading the public in their discussion of President Nixon's defense budget, Coleman charged. While absolute dollars are Increasing, Coleman the relative amount committed to defense is decreasing. "During the last year of the Johnson Administration the United States spent 9.5 per cent of the gross national product for defense. This year, under President Nixon, the United States is spending 6.8 per cent of the gross national product on defense." He said that to suggest the president is spending more and more of the nation's resources on the military is Vhogwash." Coleman spoke at a lawn party in Whitewater.

Coeds Coach, Cheer All-Male Softball Team Editor's Note; Two coeds at 1he4Jniversity of Wisconsin-Stevens Point are coaching an all male softball team in their hometown of Stevens Point this summer. Their style, initiative and reasons for taking on such an atypical role is recorded in the following article by two other UW students, Tim Sullivan, Stevens Point, and Jim Suskl, Chicago. asking, "Just what or where is Glowton Funeral Home?" The Glowton Funeral Home originated in 1964 at 119 Shau-rette St. The founding fathers, or rather founding mothers, were Miss Glodosky and Miss Clayton.

"In '64, we built a shack behind our garages," said Miss Glodosky, "and it was so ugly we decided to call it a funeral By Richard Wesnick Journal-Times Staff They say there's nothing like moving or a fire to unearth dusty nearly forgotten mementos tucked away in closets and drawers. The W. C. Chestnuts have experienced both calamities and some of the items that have turned up in the process would give an antique dealer a coronary attack. Mr.

and Mrs. Chestnut's home at 504 Augusta St. was hit by a fire which forced them to leave on June 25. Now, after staying with relatives at 442 Wolff they are moving to Venice, Fla. The more unusual items, that have been pakced for the trip include a 15 by 18-inch portrait of Rudolph Valentino done in straw of various hews, a matched pair of brass and wood candleholders from the royal suite of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City and a 100-year-old cut glass plate issued in observance of the United States centennial.

Chestnut, 82, said some of the relics came from his wife's family by routes at novel as the objects. The plate's history is fairly routine. It was handed down' from two uncles of Mrs. Chestnut who were in the jewerly business in Sedalia, during the 1876 observance of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The center of the clear glass plate bears the likeness of a building that is not identifiable.

Around the edge of the plate are the words "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" from the Lord's Prayer. It also is inscribed with the dates "1776-1876." The portrait of Rudolph Valentino, the late silent film star, has a background that could have been taken from the plot of one of his movies. According to Chestnut, his wife Eythel had a brother who patroled the border between the United States and Mexico during World War I. After apprehending an alien attempting to make an illegal entry to this country, the border guard discovered the portrait on his prisoner. He purchased it and later gave it to Mrs.

Chestnut. Chestnut said they were Residents' Complaints Bring HUD Inspection individual developers, Strohl said, to talk about repairs required. He said that, in general, construction appeared adequate but the appearances were affected by improper sidewalks, driveways and grading. Aspin reported Monday that the inspections are being made as a result of more than 100 complaints received from Racine and Kenosha residents that their 235 homes were poorly constructed. Strohl said HUD, which has had two inspectors to cover 235 projects in the past, will be scheduling additional field inspections by its higher echle-lon officials.

HUD representatives started a series of meetings this morning with developers as a result of inspections Monday of federally-subsidized 235 homes in the Racine area, said Joseph Strohl, home secretary for Rep. Les Aspin, D-Racine. Strohl said the inspections with a HUD representative' Monday covered four Racine neighborhoods North Oregon Street, the Georgetown Subdivision, Norwood Drive and Kentucky Street near Taylor Avenue. Some areas have year-old 235-financed homes; other have buildings still under construction. HUD officials will meet with home." To which Miss Clayton added, "By subscribing to the American Funeral Director magazine, we made it semiofficial." Nevertheless, business has been poor.

In the eight years of Glowton's existence, there has been just one customer. "Back in the spring of '65, a pet pine snake of our neighbor, James Whitman, silently passed away," the two 20-' year-old girls related. "The unofficial diagnosis was overexposure to some vital parts," they added, "but actually, a garbage truck ran it over." Because of the lack of interest shown in the girls' ability to make life easier in the hereafter, the pair of morticians believed it was time for expansion into other business ventures. "Sports has been near and dear to us for some time," said Miss Clayton, "so we decided to look into it. "We knew that the TKE's (Tau Kapp Epsilon, a social fraternity at UW-Stevens Point) were getting into the Plover League, so we decided to buy the men jerseys and lend our coaching talents." The two girls purchased the black cotton jerseys at a local department store and silkscreened bright orange letters spelling out Glowton Funeral Home.

"The front has the initials R.I.P. printed in yellow, with the players names etched below," described Miss Glodosky. 1 Most of the team's players are TKE's, and Miss Clayton is happy to have them aboard. She commented, "The TKE's are great ball players, and manager George Glodosky, Paul's brother, is great at platooning." She added "George uses some patience in putting up with someone like Larry Koy, New Berlin, who reminds us of Lurch on the Addams Family." Besides George, other TKE's on the Glowton roster are Pete Marsh, Wisconsin Rapids; Mike and Jeff Fox, Stevens Point; Marc Vollrath, Booneville, Otis Pingel, Stevens Point; Bill Giese, Stevens Point; and Kemo Keimczak, Mauston. Another TKE and ex-outfielder, Tim Siebert, Stevens Point, "recently played out his option," Miss Glodosky noted.

Most of the other players attend UW-Stevens Point or have graduated. They are Don Fix, Stevens Point; Jeff Nygaard, Racine; John Stephanie, Chicago, Tom Noel, Pat O'Donnell, Niagara; Gary Kuzynski, Stevens Point, and Koy. When asked for a summary of the softball season so far," Miss Glodosky said, "I bet there's close to 1,000 Stevens Point people playing organized softball this summer, and' Patti and I are happy to be taking part in it. We try to play softball for what ii is, only a game. Some teams go overboard and are out for blood.

Glowton Funeral Home frowns on this, but then again, we sure could use some new customers." Jeffrey Nygaard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vera H. Nygaard, 2440 Green Haze is one of the players on the team. A blinding cloud of dust emerges quickly from the third base area at Plover Park in Stevens Point.

The baserunner, flat on his back and his hand firmly grasping the third sack, looks up anxiously and stares at the umpire. The overflow crowd is totally silent for two dramatic seconds. Suddenly the umpire bellows his fatal decsion: "Yerr outl" The third base coach is furious. From the coaching box comes the shriek, "Come on, ump, get in the game! He never touched him! Everybody saw him drop the ball! The first base coach is also annoyed, as the shout, "For Pete's sake, how much they payin' ya?" is heard throughout the ballpark. Shades of Leo Durocher? Is Gene Mauch in town? Is this the World Series? Is there at least a pennant on the line? Heck no.

The play at third base was a routine call. The runner was dead, after trying to stretch a pop fly double into a triple. If he had been ruled safe and had eventually scored, his team would've still lost by 12 runs. Then why all the excitement? Close calls on wild baserun-ners happen all the time in softball. the intriguing part about this incident concerns not the particular play, but rather the two bellowing coaches.

These two coaches are unique in their own way. One could actually say they are legends. The coaches are Patti Glodosky and Patti Clayton the first women in Portage County history to co-direct, coach and cheerlead an all-male softball team in organized sports. Their efforts in softball rank second only to Bernice Gera's decision to umpire major league baseball games. All softball teams competing in Stevens Point area leagues are sponsored by some type of organization, such as a bar, restaurant, store or private industry.

The team the coeds are affiliated with is nearly as unique in its sponsorship as in its management. Glowton Funeral Home provides the entry fee for its 15 softball players, who, proudly wear the yellow and black colors in the American Slow-Pitch Softball League at Plover. This brings to mind the question many area softball people are Gunmen Rob Hy. 41 Station, Lock Up 2 Attendants Two gunmen made off with about $190 in an early-morning robbery at Mike's Enco service station, 1132 Highway 41, according to sheriff's deputies. Deputies Jerome Furhman and Donald Parker said they stopped to check the 24-hour station about 2:30 a.m.

and found two attendants locked in a backroom. Steven Reynolds of 3035 Emmertsen Road, the attendant on duty, told deputies the bandits were armed with revolvers and took $81 from his wallet and about $100 from a cash register. Daniel Mabry, of 2909 93rd St. Sturtevant, an off-duty attendant, told deputies he drove in while the holdup was in progress and was robbed of $11. Fuhrman and Parker arrived about ten minutes after the robbers had fled, reports said.

An early-morning robbery at the same station last month netted about $2,400, according to TV, Stereo, Furniture Stolen from Home equipment and records valued at about $560 from her apartment. And Judith Mecum of 1326 Carlisle Ave. told police a burglary at her home netted an estimated $1,700 worth of loot, including a television set, a radio, furniture and a guitar.
