Stand 'Behind This is a message from one p<i> >n t«> 10. In particular. th< members of Walkerton's tw. b adim; governmental bodies, the rolk-Lmco|n-.l hnson St h •! B nd and th* W. lk< it n Town 13 aid an the ones involved.. Tlie time is iv m Walkerton has been a constant subject f r th. past two and a half weeks. Both boards have made their divisions and w> want to urge both t<> stick by their guns. It is true the situation that has r« suited isn't the best for any family with childun in >1 wi, > are Walk*lton based, but in such a situation no deeisr n could be reached to satisfy everyone. The Town Board of Walk, rton has for several years, governed the town time by that of South Bend. This is only natural. South Bend not only is the county seat of our county, but also a place of employment for mans' and a city that influ. n< es Walkerton more than any city in the world outside of our own corporation limits. This decision has been made in the form of a resolution and it has been the deciding factor whether or not the public sentiment supports this choice. This School Board was faced with a n. w decision. They had to select a time zone to follow with the school corporation laying partially on each side. It was no hasty decision that led the five members to choosing “fast” time for the official School time. Neither was it an easy division to make in view of the muddled up situation that followed. The important thing is that this decision has been made after careful consideration and in the members’ minds, was the best solution possible. Now that it has been made, stick by it. Your position might be one of criticism and remarks by many people. but this would come regardless of the decision. Some may say it is easy for Voice Os The People Are you interested in our community operating on ONE TIME ’’’ Would you rather that activities mv living our school children ordinate with the functions of our TOWN? ” Be it slow or fast as your utimate goal. Would you agree that it is imperative that we operate as one unit ? Did you find it almost impossible to att.-nd Open House at 6:30 Town Time? Are you involved with community affairs on one time and bound by loyalty to your children to get them to their activities on another time. If there is any chance to cooridinate our community and our school, then we each must stand together, or divided we fall. We have our city fathers to guide the functions of our fair city!

Your Decisions! a pers n with no children to set l ark and say such tlings. But also these sanie people should give some consideration to the tact that neither board was resp nsibh for the fact that such a de i.-ion had to be made. Our sympathies are with anyone wlio has really had their household routine disturbed by this tun. probl< m, but the choice of the matter was made after c nsid-ration was made first of all. for the children of the mlchl corporation, you can adjust y<>ur lives to fit that of the childn n. If this mu< h of a sacrific cannot be made, then \ou deserve to be disturbed, in fact. sh.Kkid! The time problem in Indiana is not new, but the time problem internally within our city limits is new. Maybe eventually the adults that have control over this situation can b<gin to act as adults and abide by the decision made whether or not it is the most convenient for each individual. Wouldn't it be nice just one winter to have the entire area on the same time! For those that want to holler please don’t holler so loud here as someone may be sleeping late, or early, due to the time problem, or maybe even school might be in session here or somewhere else where you could bother the students. Your opportunity to be heard is with your elected officials on a state and national level who make the decisions about the time. Maybe if enough noise was put to use in this direction, some day that uniform time for this area will become a reality, instead of just a story. Once again to the two boards, you have made your decisions, stand behind them. Wc elected men to do this job and the backbone display by your standing behind your choice certainly proves to all that wc have men handling these organizations, not puppets on a string waiting for someone to give another jerk to see which you will move. To them we must turn! The elected president of the Town Board is our acting mayor. He is responsible for peace and tranquility of our community. To them we must appeal! Ever} interested citizen in this community is bound by conscience to express your oppinion, all for fast time or all for slow time, but let us be on one time. The next T>>wn Board meeting is Tuesday, November. 21 7:30 p.m. CST at the City Hall. It is customary that if their meeting room was overfilled that they would adjourn to a large building. Will you come n ? Each and every parent who reads this?? With your insistance, it is possible that either the town change to fast time, or they coordinate the school on town time, as representing all the people. Mrs. H. E. Malstaff
