Commissioners
Hear Lake Request
Two of the major topics discussed at the Monday meeting of the Putnam County Board of Commissioners included plans for the construction of the third and final structure designed by the Little Walnut Conservancy District and also the possible renovation of the Putnam County Courthouse. County Surveyor Alan Stanley appeared before the board with a group of residents from the area near which the dam will be built. Also attending the meeting was Attorney James M. Houck, counsel for the Little Walnut Conservancy District. The surveyor reported to the board that when construction is begun it will be necessary for parts of some of the county roads in Sections 14, 22 and 23 to be closed to traffic. While construction is not scheduled to begin until late autumn, the District felt it timely to get a tentative approval from the commissioners, subject to the final decision by the Little Walnut group and Houck. The board did grant the preliminary approval. Stanley stated, “We hope that we will be able to let the contract for the structure late in the year.” He added that it will take approximately 300 construction days to complete the project, and estimated total costs at near $1,000,000. The county surveyor also explained that this structure will be a three-way project, “The Conservancy District, the state and the federal government will share in the costs.” Tim Ruark, one of the landowners who attended in
relation to the watershed pro- house ject, told the commissioners nhases
that the 370-acre lake created, “will hopefully serve as both a fishing area, as well as a recreational facility for skiers and boaters.” It was also pointed out that the use of the lake will be open to the
public.
Other discussion at the Monday morning session centered around preliminary plans for renovation of the courthouse. On hand for suggestions and questions was Ken Wolverton of M.W. Architects and Engineers, Indianapolis. Following an inspection of all floors of the structure the representative suggested a program for complete renovation, set up in several phases over a fouryear period. Wolverton explained the reason for the different phases of the project in stating, “We want to have an orderly rehabilitation of the building.” He suggested as phase one of the project, cleaning the exterior of the building, either by sandblasting or highpressure water. Since his appearance at the meeting was only to present ideas, no decisions were made on which process, if any, would
be used.
Phase two could be repairing or rebuilding the dome of the courthouse. Employees have reported that the dome does leak when it rains, and Wolverton suggested the best method of preventing leakage permanently was rebuilding the dome as one solid structure, with no seams to crack or
weaken.

structure. Other included complete
renovation of the electrical service and distribution in the building, the remodeling of all offices in the courthouse, excluding the courtroom and the building of a grade entrance to the building on the north side. The possibility of enlarging the elevator was also discussed. The commissioners agreed to approach the county council with a request for $41,500 for the project. Wolverton stated that he would attend the next county council meeting in order to answer any questions the
council might have.
Commissioner’s President Gene Beck reported to the board that he had signed a request by the county council for federal funds for the financing of the soil survey being conducted in the
county.
Another guest of the meeting was Margaret Mayer, acting as a concerned citizen to request the establishment of a council to be in charge of emergency medical service in the county with the use of visual aids she explained to the board the approaching need for emergency service. She also presented a petition to the board which contained the names of doctors, fire departments and other concerned groups in the county which would support such a
council.
Mrs. Mayer made it clear
that eventually some action would have to be taken and suggested that the council could serve helpful to the board as well as the county in that members on the committee could research alternate ambulance services, rather than the com-
missioners having to do so. It was requested that Mrs
Mayer return to the commissioners at their June 18 meeting, after presenting her suggestion to the county council. A final decision on the establishment of an emergency services council
was taken under advisement. The board approved a pro-
posal to continue the accumulative bridge fund at the same amount for another five-year period. Auditor John Carson then stated that the public hearing for the consideration of the bridge
fund was set for June 4.

Opening lead - queen of clubs. When Sylvia first joined the club, she barely knew a spade from a hole in the ground. She thought a coup was something birds did, a pass something the boys made at girls, and a double something you saw in the mirror. But this didn’t stop her from playing in the expert game, where of course she was outclassed. Her unfamiliarity with the niceties of the game was at times shocking and naturally produced countless disasters, but at the same time this very ignorance occasionally resulted

in an outstanding triumph that would be discussed by the membership at large for weeks
on end.
Take this deal which occurred shortly after Sylvia learned to finesse. This newly found device was a fascinating revelation to her, and she relished each and every opportunity to use it with an unholy zest that scared her partners half to death. West led a club. Sylvia won in dummy with the ace, returned a trump, and finessed the jack! When this extraordinary gambit succeeded, Sylvia’s expression of joy would have melted the heart of the Sphinx. She later lost a heart, a diamond and a club, but made
four spades.
East-West felt deeply aggrieved by the unaccustomed finesse, without which Sylvia inevitably would have gone down one. Yet, strangely enough, later analysis proved that Sylvia’s play was correct and the only way to assure the

Had the finesse lost to the singleton or doubleton queen, the contract would still have been firmly under control. The defense could cash a club and shift to a diamond, but declarer would win, cash a high trump, and play a heart to the queen and ace. South would then be able to discard a diamond on the

We must consider ways to relieve the burden which high property taxes place on many older Americans. Nutrition projects and comprehensive service programsare needed. “And we cannot forget the importance to older Americans of controlling federal spending. Runaway federal spending fuels inflation, which hits hardest at a retired person on a fixed income. Control of federal spending and in turn the control of inflation are crucial so that the incomes of older Americans will provide the purchasing power and independence they deserve. “Our senior citizens are responsible for the success which our nation enjoys today. They have provided us with the foundation for many more accomplishments tomorrow. There is no more important task facing our government than to insure older Americans a meaningful, productive, and independent life. A select committee on aging is a good place to start to achieve stronger, more effective programs for older Americans. In Memoriam “In memory of Virgil V. Aden who passed away May 20, 1972.
