THANKS - BUT NO THANKS \n ih m ol possibly nori than jusl interest appeared recently on the new s uHiccrning ihi South Bend Mayoral campaign I his concerns the suppotl oi om oi the candidates. Rogci Parent, to suggest that the Ims ttanspotration tauhtx. now owned by the City ot South Bend, bc^onn also a counts supported tax He m rather than South Bend Ihe thought behind this loncci ns thi piobkms around bus serv ice to mainl\ I ins ci sits Pai k Mail I his dress some comment liom the other candidate. H (hns Oser uaid ss ho staled he wound that the South Bend people would be paving twice oiua as cits residents and onw as counts taxpayers. tor this sen in Hi also noted some areas ol the counts would be pas mg tor this that would not be getting any sersice at all. then hast been cttorls tor quite a less sears now bs several politkians to help spii ad the las burden ot South Bend around throughout the counts I hesc various cttorls have been made bs politicians conicrn. d and tunning toi off in s w nhm the South Bend cits limits whether nbe a cits counts or stale office. So tar. none ot this has reads been too harsh on counts residents even though tor mans, mans scars now the residents ot out area, the more outlying districts of the counts, hase been pasing toi mans sersices that arc sers seldom available to us or al least not easy to use. We have seen it m the Sheriffs department, the counts highway department. the humane society. the laxness of the counts commissioners and on and on down the line. I hey arc simply more concerned with the ficasici populated area and the place that the votes come from. I hen hase been a few individuals who have served in past years that were aware oi this and the increased services and share of tax dollars was mush more obvious when they were in office. Today much better cooperation is being extended from many ot the various county agencies, with the county highway garage and sub station tor the sheriffs department at North Liberty helping a lot. I his area was better served through counts programs when more local men served as our county commissioners However, to this latest idea, again it is time to say “Thanks But No I hanks" We. in the southwestern corner ot St. Joseph Counts have suffered enough over the vears and even though it would not be another major lax bite, it would be another bile we would have taken without the slightest bit oi taste ot the benefits. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I his week is “National School Bus Safety Week Whether or not setting aside a week for such as this adds anything to the safely of transporting millions ot school students daily to and from schools, will never be known But we know a briet minute to stop and realize the tremendous job done by the schools ot the country; the drivers, both amateur and professional, has over the years, been outstanding. There is something about that big yellow bus with the Hashing red lights that dives gain the respect ot drivers both the more caretui and also the not so careful types Having to travel on U S. o a couple of davs a week during the morning hours when school buses are picking up students for several schools, one can see the potential danger that is involved amid heavy traffic but also the care and caution bv the drivers, both the bus drivers and John Q Public on his way to work or elsew here. Ihe record in the past has been fabulous . certainly there is going to be an occasional tragedy m this mass program . . but overall it has really been a credit to drivers all over the land Let’s keep up the gixid work a job that is everyone s. as these bright veilow buses continue to carry our most precious cargo, the couth ot today Make every week “School Bus Safety Week"! kF - WHEN...
