3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 Over 50 Over 50 By BERNARD J. SCHUCK We go to powder our nose when it's not shiny. We go to wash our hands when they aren't dirty. We stop at a restroom when we aren't tired. You get the idea what this subject is all about.

We use euphemisms about our physical nature that carries over from Puritanical days when a "leg" was a We are not a advocating those short guttural words we hear too often on TV, and the movies although they have been around many years both off and on Broadway. We appreciate the nicer words. We hear people say "I would like to use your bathroom" when we know they aren't going to take a bath. The word who travels will soon learn the proper word. In England and toilet although not a dirty word wouldn't st sound as nice.

One many other countries the letters W.C. (Water Closet) is popular. In Turkey it is "tuvelet" and in Japan the words to use are "'Benjo doko." In China we didn't know the word for it but gesturing as though we wanted to wash our hands worked. With one exception the place they directed me to was just for that, "to wash my hands." A good guide on foreign trips will allow for time to "wash hands," "powder noses," or to "rest." On a trip from Kona to Hilo in Hawaii, the local guide, stopped, picked up beer and soft drinks for all of the tourists. Midway between the two cities he stopped the bus on this road that was lined with sugar cane fields on both sides.

"Ladies to the right and gentlemen to the left." Many of the tourists were more comfortable afterwards. With this experience we have made friends with fellow travelers in foreign countries to let the guide or driver know that we would appreciate a "rest stop." And who is the first one to dash to the "Herren, Senors or Right, the tour guide. It has been in recent years that our tour busses have "washrooms." Before that it was "make-the-bathroom, grab-a-hamburger and back on the bus in twenty minutes. We might add about foreign travel that they have those cute little figures to prevent you from making the wrong choice of rooms. On a night club tour we were taken to those "way-out" nightclubs in Sydney, Australia.

There three rest rooms. One of them was marked "Him," "Her" and a third Back home in Indiana we regret the demise of the station, Even if you didn't need gas you stopped for gallons to use the rest room. But few and far between filling stations today. An oil executive once remarked should the oil industry be required to provide the rest rooms for the Nation?" We thought about that. That gets us in to trouble sometimes thinking.

So we propose that the beer industry provide "rest stops" along the highways of America. How about "Miller High Life Recycling Center five minutes ahead." Or "If you gotta go. Make it Stroh. Nexts stop, mile." Another culprit that contributes to momentary euphoria and often later misery coffee. They could provide relief spelled "R.E.S.T.

S.T.O.P." with the sign "Maxwell House Last Drop" just ahead. On some highways our tax dollars. have gone into rest parks that provide conveniences to tourists. Back here in Elwood where do you go when you gotta go. The City Building once had a "Men" and a The police department usurped this section in the building's basement.

Where once there was a potty or two there is now an office complete with radio, TV, uniform room, et cetera. Oh yes, there is a toilet but not for the taxpaying public. The closet you can get to the police room is a little round window in a bullet-proof enclosure. Here you voice your complaint. We have never asked but sometime might do so.

"May I use your bathroom?" But there might be some local ordinance or even law against it. The filling stations most of them are gone. How about the taverns? That's self defeating. You just create another emergency. Who would go into a tavern without buying a drink? Now are shopping centers! Both downtown and at the edges of our city.

"Employees only" is the sign. Maybe you would leisurely purchase more items if you could relieve the pressure. Some will dare that forbidding sign that says "Employees only." State law etcetera. It's a matter of busting or being defying incarcerated. So you use their sanctum sanctorum.

And carefully leave it a bit cleaner in ap preciation. But not so with many other people. Unfortunately, we have dirty people. Really. Some absolutely disgusting.

It's not only filter tip cigarettes in urinals but anything else in the plumbing system. So we don't blame our store managers. I Plumbers don't come cheap. And the "dirty" person can wipe out a lot of profits from any other "nice people." So it's sort of a "Catch 22" situation with our store managers. To end this ticklish subject we must tell this story.

A man was asked what he did for a living. "I'm a painter." "Oh, do you paint landscapes and seascapes?" "Oh no, I paint men and women." "Oh then you paint portraits?" "No. I paint 'Men' and 'Women' on doors." Mild (continued from page one) April. Other California listings include 283 percent of normal rain at Los Angeles and 236 percent at San Fran- cisco. The above average wetness also caused water to rise in the Great Salt Lake, which increased its level 9 inches in March.

The lake has risen 40 inches in the past year to its greatest level since 1927, according to the Geological Survey. The survey said the Crow River at Rockford, Minn. rose to 850 percent of normal during March, at 2.7 billion gallons a day, the most in 58 years. And records besting more than 50 years of recordkeeping were were also set by the Des Moines River at Fort Dodge, Iowa, the Lynches River at Effingham, S.C., and the John Day River at Service Creek, Oregon. In other areas, farms were flooded near the Humboldt River in Nevada, and record streamflows were noted in Arizona and Connecticut.

Hawaii and the Ohio River Valley were the primary areas bucking the trend, the Geological Survey reported.

TIPTON POLICE DEPARTMENT Tipton Police investigated a theft of $100 from the residence of Romonta Carter at 518 Vine Tipton, at 11:26 a.m. Thursday.

Mrs. Carter reported that the money came up missing between 8:50 and 11 a.m: while she was in Elwood. Police found no evidence of forced entry. MAN SURRENDERS LAKE STATION, Ind. (AP) James Dillard, 29, was held overnight at the Lake County jail after surrendering fo police eight hours after a hostage drama began, police said.

The children were released unharmed one of were another Part of the 'heart' Persons who are hospitalized in Elwood have the opportunity to meet some very interesting persons. Each day the halls in the hospital are filled with volunteers who do all sorts of good things for the patients. When flowers arrive, those flowers are delivered to the various rooms by the volunteers. When patients have been admitted they are taken to their rooms by those same volunteers. When the "goodie cart" is wheeled around the hospital, it is handled by one of the hospital volunteers.

It is quite easy to discover, that much of the heart of the hospital is the result of volunteers giving time and energy to the health care program of Mercy Hospital. We are very fortunate that the volunteers at Mercy are there when they are needed. They certainly qualify to be called "part of the heart" of Hoosierland.
