135 earn honors at Indian H ills

I W hite’s a lertness attracts Universal-R undle

Ottumwan’s tip lands new industry

Sometimes we wonder howseriously the lawmakers in Des Moines take their work. This week it seems some of our legislators are intent upon moving the capitol out of Des Moines.

Sen. Eugene Hill, D-Newton, suggested that the seat of Iowa government be moved to the site proposed for the 1976 World Food Exposition.

Hill made his suggestion at a meeting of the Senate Con­stitutional Amendments and Reapportionment Committee which took up a proposed constitutional amendment by Sen. John Mowry, R- Marshalltown, to move the capitol to the Marshall County town of State Center.

Hill said the “ grounds for that world food exposition might be suitable for what you have in mind.” Mowry’s proposal was assigned to a subcommittee headed by Sen. Vernon Kyhl, R-Parkersburg.

Mowry said he wants to move the state government some place to “where the ecology is a fine and where we can be more contented and more deliberative in our work” and where there won’t be so many big-city bars.

Sen. John Walsh, R- Dubuque, suggested an amendment to make the seat of government a 14-foot trailer and to move it every four years around the state. But Mowry contended that amendment would be facetious.

Universal-Rundle manuf­actures all types of bathroom fixtures including the con­ventional chinaware styles. Al Beavon of the corporate headquarters in Newcastle, Pa., was telling about the company’s various operations at the O.A.D.C. meeting in Ottumwa Tuesday night. He said the factory in Venezuela had been a dinnerware plant when U-R purchased it. “ We converted it to what we refer to as an ‘after-dinnerware plant,” Beavon commented.

“ It 1̂1 started out as a joke,” says Robert L. White, explaining how he got the tip that led to a new industry for Ottumwa.

White, who lives at 524 Bryan Road, travels southeast Iowa as a salesman for Iowa Supply Co., a wholesaler of plumbing supplies with branches in Ottumwa, Des Moines, Waterloo and Sipux City.

Early last fall the company took on a line of molded fiberglass bathtubs and shower stalls produced by Universal-Rundle Co. He was attending a sales meeting in Des Moines when the U-R district sales manager commented that the product would be sup­plied from a new factory.

“ I made the friendly suggestion that it ought to be in Ottumwa,” White recalls.

Further discussion revealed that the company was about to start looking over Iowa sites, and White volunteered the information that the Ottumwa Area Development Corporation had a suitable building that was vacant. White obtained the name of a man in

Favorable reaction to downtown redevelopment

Pennsylvania to contact, and the same afternoon he relayed it to the O.A.D.C. executive director, Biff By rum.

It wasn’t but a few days until the first company representative was in Ottumwa to look around. Several other Iowa Communities were scouted, then Universal- Rundle decided Ottumwa was the best location. A deal for purchase of the building, equipping it and adding a warehouse through a $950,000 industrial revenue bond proposal was worked out with the development cor­poration and Ottumwa city officials.

White and his wife, Lois, were reared in the Oskaloosa community and he has been with Iowa Supply for 19 years. They have two children, Rick, ll, and Lori, 5. Sports are White’s hobbies.

“ Odds favor a community that has citizens who are alert to payroll opportunities,” Byrum said today. “ Bob White is another fine example of how this has worked in Ottumwa. O.A.D.C. welcomes the cooperation of every individual.” BOB WHITE

Reaction to Ottumwa’s downtown re - development program has been very favorable, according to Phil Gold of Urban Planning Consultants of Chicago.

He and a representative of the Urban Renewal Depart­ment have been meeting this week with individual property owners in the project area to discuss reh ab ilita tio n possibilities.

Gold said, “We are getting very little negative reaction.''

File charge after mishap early today

William E. Weidlein, 19, of Sigourney, was charged with failure to control a vehicle after he was involved in a one- car mishap at 1:16 a.m. today on N. Court near E. Court.

Ottumwa police reported the Weidlein vehicle backed into a light pole, proceeded west on E. Court, made a U-turn and slid sideways into the same

.pole for a second time. Damage to the vehicle was estimated at $500 with $50 damage to the pole.

At ll: IO a.m. Thursday, cars driven by George W. Shaw, 40, of 227 W. Williams, and Terry A. Craft, 26, of Route 6, collided on Commercial 200 feet west of Green.

City police said both vehicles were traveling west on Commercial when the Shaw auto slowed for a left turn and the Craft auto turned into the left rear of the Shaw auto. No charges were filed and damage was listed at $350.

This was before the City Council announced it would no longer consider selling the northwest quadrant of Ot­tumwa Park for possible shopping center development and would place increased emphasis on the downtown area, he said. The project site is between Washington and Market streets and extends from Third Street south to the railroad tracks.

Hold hearing on sewer bonds

The City Council will hold a public hearing Monday on the tax levy to pay for $700,000 worth of general obligation sewer bonds. The bonds are to finance several sanitary sewer projects in the city.

Actually the bonds will not be paid for with tax money, according to Virgil Johnson, finance councilman, who in­dicated sufficient sewer revenue is anticipated.

He said the city decided to issue general obligation bonds instead of revenue bonds because it could obtain a better rate of interest. Because of the bond issue a public hearing is required by law.
