It has been -wid by the promoters that a state park is needed in St Joseph County But just saySo does not mean that it is a fact. The fact is that South Bend already has many lovely parks within its own borders. Besides, South Bend is astride the St Joseph river which is. because of its many dams, virtually a • ham of lakes all the way from Benton {Harbor. Michigan. to Constantine and beyond In addition. South Bend has access to Like Michigan and ite many parks and beaches. Also near are the Kankakee Yel. low. Tippecanoe and Elkhart rivers, and hundreds f lakes and streams from Maxinkuckee all the way to Steuben >inty and across into Michigan where the e are more than a hundred lakes South Bend needs a recreational park like I nee! an<rfher thumb No town ct city in Indiana is mot abundantly, blessed with recreational facilities than South Bend. Now let get another thing straight The proposed lake would contain slightly m re than 20) acres not 36b acres and it w< u d bring moisture into the graves in the cemetery wrnout extent ve dredging The greater part < approximately It** a< re- would he nothing it re t .ar !* k were ' | ' - out suffit i<-r* ’ <ter to k'-p it freih the •'are , health aza*l The proposed lake will he somewhat in the Ta’., f a le*ter Y with the een < ’ery r the crotch Os the Y The g’ - m < md the cemeterv is dr- gnat rd as pi. me grounds Have ue <le genera ted tn the extent that we would «tc»op to so dsßtcrate . ur cemeteries With all the inhabitants moved out ’ Wil© would p otect it from vandals* Who would keep picnic. •vb from swarming into the cetneterv and <w grave* How Would you like to have the ground* around your graveyard declared a public picnic park * I do not believe that even the Mate legislature has the authority tn take private property fr m one individual and give it tn another The simple fart Is we hav< the property and ;*< ial bus ne • interests want d They show ro need for t other than that t would help their buxines* It apja-srs to be a part of their

(However, just think of the tax Jo’lars the government sav. cd by only publishing one tax book f >r employers )

ing around with one of these plates on. I w uld see that dollar put to use in our state. Also, if these people don’t like the situation ’hat exists, let them get out' They wont he that missis! I^rt them go to Michigan. Him is. On.o, or any other pla* e They might be surpr.* d to find out they pay taxes there too. Better Jd’ll. maybe tluy can go someplace where th* y wouhl not have to pay $1 (Ki plus the 2 ent tax f<>r such a plate . . they « an go to Russia and pay rupees for such plates and then hope they can get a car to put it on ’ face-lifting program like the city-county Iwnlding that isn’t needed and the new ''Huey Ixing" bridge over the St. Joseph river. Howaid Fullmer (Ta tl»e <Hip|M»rterx of the State Park Project) You know that in St. Joseph County there are s< veral suitable locations for a re .eation park These can be bought for less money In most eases, the owners are willing to sell, and there is considerable less farm land Right now, our stoma* hs are full so we say food is not important. This may net always be true. Maybe you don't know that if Uns project promoted by a local « itizens committee is adopted by our State Government, the next time it may be your pioperty some committee decides is needed for the • ommon good None wdl be secure. Maybe you are not aware tliat some are promoting this project to get revenge on some landowners involved. Some are hoping to get big money from the State. Don t they know where the State gets its money" Maybe we should tell them before it is too late. Don't they know to get that money, they will need the help of a lawyer who also needs to be paid. I>et's make wise decisions that we may have good gove nment of the people, for the people and by the people. Mrs Raynund Naragon North Liberty. Ind.

that dinner just such a cake Sure enough, a young Tyner High School student. Larry Stull, was the proud poancssor of the cake when the dinner was over. A total of $65 00 accredited to Mrs M< Norton s contribution was included in the total of some S2IOO 00 turned in to the Walkerton Farmers State Bank on Saturday morning.
