We go to wash our hands when they aren't dirty. We stop it a restroom when we aren't tired. You get the idea what this subject is all about We use euphemisms about our physical nature mat carries over from Puritanical days when a "leg" was a "limb." We are not dvocatin those short guttural words we hear too often on TV, and the movies although they nave been round 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 toilet although not a dirty word wouldn't sound as nice. One who travels will soon learn the proper word. In England and many other countries the letters W.C (Water Closet) is popular. In Turkey it is "tuvelet" and in Japan the words to In China we didn't know the word for it but gesturing as though we wanted to wash our hands worked. With one exceptionthe 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 be 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 one of those "way-out" nightclubs in Sydney, Australia. There were three rest rooms. One of them was marked "Him," another "Her" and a third "Shim." Back home in Indiana we regret the demise of the filling station. Even if you didn't need gas you stopped for a few gallons to use the rest room. But few and far between are the filling stations today.

An oil executive once remarked to us. "Why 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.

Next stop, mile." Another culprit that contributes to momentary euphoria and often later misery is coffee. They could provide relief spelled ST. 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 "Women." 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 rdund 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 et cetera. It's a matter of busting or being defying incarcerated. So you use their sanctum sanctorum. And carefully leave it a bit cleaner in appreciation. 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.

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." (Sorry about that.) Honor rolls (coaliniMd from page mm) Obituaries April.

Wellnitz is sworn in before Supreme Court Former Elwood resident Craig Wellnitz recently was admitted to the practice of law before the U.S. Supreme Court when he was sworn in at the Surpeme Court building in Washington, D.C.

Wellnitz was one of a group of 36 Indiana University Law School graduates who flew to Washington for the swearing in ceremony. He was accompanied by his wife, Karen, and their oldest daughter, Jennifer, on the four-day trip. A partner in the law firm of Coates, Hatfield and Calkins in Indianapolis, he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. F.O.

Wellnitz, also former Elwood residents. Part of Ithe 'heart' 38 Persons who are hospttaUt- ed in Elwood have the oppor-' tuntty Ufmeet 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 Hooslerland.
