Letters From Our Renders Editor, Nappanee Advance-News 156 W. Market Street Nappanee, Indiana Dear Mr. Editor: As a native of Nappanee, I have never be|ore felt called upon to express my written opinions on any civic matter. However, during the past three weeks, I have been reading the letters section of the Advance-News, and now I feel compelled to write. The view that I am about to set forth may not be taken as the view of my family, still living in Nappanee. The views put forth are my own, and I am prepared to defend them. In the past several years there have been disputes between labor and management in Nappanee. This is evidenced by the strikes. Perhaps these differences were over wage rates, retirement benefits, automation, or other factors; but whatever they were; labor has felt that they must strike. Management had also complained—about labor’s waste. I am sure that there are probably more factors, but I will not try to conjure them up. There is need for the public expression of both, the labor and the management views of the disputed topics. With the facts laid before the public, ev e r y o n e—whether labor-inclined or managementinclined —can decide for himself what is fair under the existing laws. An agreement between labor and management certainly could not be complicated by such a gesture unless either side has something it wishes to suppress. If it is found that the laws are at fault, then a state-wide and nationwide application of this expression of fact could revise the laws. An attempt has been made by the Public Information Committee of Local 3138, AFL-CIO to express their point of view. I wish to commend them for this gesture, but l commend them in principle only. I have hopes that management will follow labor’s lead. The labor attempt, however, has been a failure. I repeat, -it is a failure to provide the public of Nappanee with any impression of labor except its hatred of management and the obscure knowledge that labor may hit upon a visionary solution. In the three articles appearing December 28, January 4, and January 11, I find no statement of coherent thought concerning any of the “new and tentative plans’’ which were promised. I shall not argue with the author’s use of Biblical material or the sources of his quotations. My argument is that there is little understandable thought exhibited in any of these letters. They are only made harder to understand by the flagrant grammatical and spelling errors. At this point, I am ashamed of

Phone 11

Nappanee’s labor organization. Surely Local 3138 has someone who can clearly explain the position of labor. I am sure that it does, and it is these people who are letting themselves be disgraced by not accepting the responsibility of presenting a better, more useful statement to the public. It is to the disgrace of all the workers of Local 3138, that the disjointed ramblings of these articles should be printed as if it were the fundamental truths of what labor believes. My argument is not with the author of these articles primarily, but with the people who let this stand as a misrepresentation of their intelligence. A College Student * a * January 11, 1962 Dear Mr. Editor, While shopping last week, my mother discovered her billfold missing. Along with pictures which can’t be replaced and cards that are needed was the combined money of my folks and my sister, who with her family, has lived with my folks since she returned from the hospital in November after having had brain surgery. I hope whoever has the billfold reads the Nappanee Paper and will have a change of heart and return it. Thank you! Mrs. Robert Strang * * * Nappanee Chamber of Commerce Nappanee, Ind. 229 Plum St. Aurora, 111. January 11, 1962 Gentlemen: I would appreciate it very much if you Would have the following printed in your local newspaper We recently had the experience of meeting a very honest man, who resides in your town. We would like to have your community know about it. On Dec. 23, 1961 my son, Thomas Loftus, who is a sailor stationed at Bainbridge, Md. was on his way home when he left his billfold with his pass and quite a sum of money in a rest room at a truck stop near your town. Mr. Alfred Collins of 1205 E. Market, Nappanee, Ind. found it and called us long distance to let us know he had it, even to the exact amount of money in it. He refused to accept any reward, even payment for the long distance call. This kind and honest deed has restored our faith in humanity. Your community can be proud to have him as a resident. Gratefully yours, Mrs. Lester Loftus

Council Works On New Assessment Rods For Lincoln Mayor Pro Tempore Harvey Mil“ler presided at the Common Council Monday night. There was little more than routine material to be discussed. There was an electricians license (Bert Anglin’s) to be approved and the renewal of several milk distributors licenses. The Insurance Committee, chairmaned by Bob Callander presented anew form of insurance which Mr. Callander said is being widely adopted by cities, schools, churches, etc. This new form of fire and extended coverage, Mr. Callander said, would reduce the premiums which the City pays and would improve the coverage. The Council moved and passed the motion that the committee’s recommendations be followed. John Heisel of the Church World Service Center appeared before the Council with a request for change in parking. Pointing out that the Church World Service has become an important institution to Nappanee, he asked cooperation on the matter of eliminating parking on the south side of E. Lincoln St. so that the World Service trucks could get in there and unload. He said that the Center would then make a driveway so that their trucks could park more horizontally along this street. When asked, Jack Arnott in the audience said that, although he always hated to lose any parking facilities, he felt that the Center’s request was a reasonable one. The Council agreed to look into the matter, which will probably be referred to the Board of Public Works. The main business of the Council was to pass improvement resolution 82 which approves the assessment rolls for the Lincoln St. improvements. There will have to be a public hearing on this after the rolls are prepared. Councilman Newcomer reported on the matter of the need of eight new street lights, and the Council passed a motion approving hi s request.
