TIME FOR ALL OUT WAR

The big story over the week end was the laid that produced the large cache of marijuana in a bain between North Liberty and Walkeiton. Marijuana has been in the news a lot the past few years and especially the last year as the stuff seems to succeed and grow where nothing el e flourishes. The corn might have blight but the illegal weed- must br as healthy as can be. Three young mon. address of Alaska!?) were grabbed in the raid, two have been charged and the third one will be today. This is not the first -outsiders" have infiltrated the area after the weed that can be processed and sold in drug form for very large sums of money. Outsiders were doing it last year and ’t would seem with all the drug pushers and users in Northern Indiana, some local people are in the act too. Marijuana is a relatively hard plant to destroy and spreads in a rapid manner. An all out war is going to be necessary to wipe out this serious threat. Most people have seen marijuana growing wild along the road and probably don't realize it.

It looks just like another weed. However, those that know what it is are risking arrest by trying to harvest the stuff. The story of the big catch in Southwestern St. Joseph Co., h.s gaim d momentum almost eves v day Both processed and unprocvssfd marijuana was in the confiscated lot which was burned Tuesday (thought it is illegal to burn open fires now davsi. Estimates ranged from 1000 pound- to an overwhelming 2500 pounds. First estimates of value were (processed) $250 thousand, but by Tuesday, a cool half million bucks. It is about time the government agencies are getting conproblem about wiping out this problem. It is nothing to put millions of dollars in ther programs that border on the give away side. But no one yet has suggested action to e’ean up this mess before it gets to the dangerous hands. Having the county highway departments cut what they see along the roadsides is not the answer. Some money could be spent in this line to give everyone something for their tax dollar, a chance at a better world to live in.

Orval Snodgrass J Sent To Study A Star, Vega i If Orval Snodgrass, service technician at Mahoney-Mann Chevrolet-Olds, Inc., tells you his boss sent him away to study a star, believe him! But Orval hasn't been in Holly wood or an astronomy class. He s been studying the service features of Chevrolet's new economy t ar named for one of the brightest stars in the skv — Vega 2300. He just returned from an intensive Vega school at the General Motors Training Center at Hinsdale, part of a nation-wide plan to have skilled Vega technicians and ample spare parts in all Chevrolet dealerships when the new car is introduced in early September. “Vega really lives up to ali I ve heard about the ease of serviceability designed into it." Orval said. "Besides being an excellent little car, it has plenty of easy-to-fix features that will make it inexpensive to maintain.’’ He said the “2300" in the new car's name refers to the 2300 centimeter displacement of Vega's all-new. American built lightweight overhead cam engine. I was particularly impressed with the ruggedness of the Vega engine," he said. “It has stood up well in millions of miles of testing. It has plenty of pep, gets good gas mileage and has excellent serviceability." He said the Vega service *"h’l convim d him that Chevi L t s forthcoming entry in the economy car maiket "is a real w.nnei." Since the world began, peace has always been all dressed up with no place to go. Dun't meddle in the affairs of others, and you'll have that much less to worry about.
