LETTERS Mr. Don Nichols, Editor Nappanee Advance-News Nappanee, Indiana Dear Don: In view of all of the recent discussions about our city and about whether Nappanee is moving ahead or not, we feel that it is important that the accomplishments of Nappanee in the past two years be listed. These are improvements that mean and show that Nappanee is moving ahead under Republican leadership. Below are listed some of the many improvements that have been made in Nappanee: 1. When the Republicans took over the administration two years ago, the job of constructing the sewage disposal plant and sewer system was immediately laid in our lap. The plant and system is now completed and under operation. Also, through this construction over 20 blocks of streets have been widened. 2. With the help of the Nappanee Development Corp. and some individual merchants, the City has purchased the old bowling alley building and constructed a beautiful parking lot. 3. With parking meter funds, the City Parking Lot on S. Main St. was black topped and the Amish Parking Lot was improved and drainage was provided for both lots. 4. Jackson Street is presently being paved from Market St. to Wabash Ave. which provides excellent access to present industry and to the industrial park. 5. Approximately 6 blocks of new street has been graded and graveled past the industrial sites owned by the Development Corp. 6. Approximately 30 blocks of gravel and unimproved streets have been sealed. These will require a minimum of maintanence for 3 years, which will be a savings to the city since they will not have to spend tax money to oil, grade, and maintain these streets. 7. The street department has begun a program of cleaning all of the sewers in the city. 8. The street lighting program on Market St. and Main St. is almost completed and is a definite asset to the city of Nappanee. 9. The uptown area has been greatly improved with thousands of dollars that have been spent by Nappanee Merchants on new stores and remodeling. 10. City Council has approved the fund drive of DIP, Inc. for the construction of a community swimming pool. 11. As stated before, there have been several new industries and expansions of present industries which has resulted in many new jobs in Nappanee . 12 The Police Department of fice was completely remodeled in 1962. 13. 6 blocks of Centennial Street and 3 blocks of N. Elm Street and 1 block of S. Madison St. has been resurfaced. 14. Several streets have been

widened. 15. In 1962 the City received a $20,000 transfer of funds from the Nappanee Utilities Company, and in 1963, $15,000 was transferred to the City’s General Fund. This resulted in a reduction of approximately 30c in the Civil CityTax Rate. There has been a promise for a $20,000 transfer in 1964, which will help to make the tax rate more favorable. Nappanee now | has the lowest tax rate in Elkhart | County. 16. Many other improvements have taken place in the parks, recreation program, and other areas of our city. This, therefore, will give the citizens of Nappanee an idea of the progress that has taken place in our city. We do not maintain, however, that everything is perfect and we therefore should not do anything in the future. In fact the opposite would be true. W e must continue to move ahead to make Nappanee a better and more prosperous place to live and work. A community cannot stand still, i 4 must move ahead. This is what your Republican candidates are capable of doing if they are elected. They will continue to expand the program of i street improvement, work with the Chamber cf Commerce to obtain additional new industry and business, continue to provide more facilities to the people of Nappanee at the very minimum of cost, and provide able, capable leadership to the people of this Community ' and represent them the way they want to be represented. For a better Nappanee, THE NAPPANEE REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE Mr. Don Nichols Nappanee Advance-New-s Dear Sir: ! The interest you have shown in our City has won for you many friends. No other newcomer has ever given so much time and ef- | fort to the many causes that needed a boost. Keep up the good work. | Now, a word of warning. You J can lose both friends and business by staying in the middle of the road on the political question. Nappanee people are as a whole, fine | iii every other respect until it comes to politics. A fine example: the snub given our former Mayor, Max Clouse. At the time he was in office, I w r as on the other side Icf the fence in politics. I attended meetings where he tried too hard to get interest from our City Coun cil. From the very start, he had a I losing battle, yet he did work hard | for the interest of our City. Let’s all be fair in our judgment. That is what has made me a split voter, The man, not the party. Nappanee hasn’t made but very little progress in the way of industry. True, i there are a few small factories, i and a few men are employed dur :ng this busy season. What we need is something that can give the working man something that he |can depend on. Mr. Burnham has given the peo-

The Rev. Lester Sumrall, known widely for his missionary travels and the building of churches in major capital cities of the world, will hold a series of meetings in West Park Auditorium, beginning Wednesday, October 30. MeeUngs will continue through Sunday, November 3.. and are announced for 7:30 p.m. and for 3:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Area pastors and churches cooperating in the series are Rev. Harold Ingle, Church of God, located on Indiana Ave. and Charles Pletcher Jr. pastor Nappanee Revival Center, So. Main. Lester Sumrall, for many years, has been engaged in international religious crusades. Asa result of these crusades, he has established evanqelistic churches in Manila, Philippines, Hong Kong, and Brasilia, Brazil. His goal is to create large evangelistic churches in strategic cities of the world. "If we can win the big city for Christ, we can win that entire country," he said, in explaining his work across the seas. During his stay here, Sumrall will devote one of his addresses to the theme of Bible prophecy. His topic will be, "World Government at the End of the World." Having traveled in more than 100 countries and preached in 1,000 cities of the world, the speaker is unusually informed on the trend of events. Sumrall began his missionary endeavors at the age of 20, when he started out alone to preach in overseas lands. His first missionary journey took two years, and carried him around the world. He is the author of some 20 books, a forceful and compelling speaker. He is a man of action as well as faith and prays for the sick at the conclusion of his sermons.

pie of Nappanee assurance it isn’t the Utilities that keeps industry out. Housing has Our local factories employ men from other towns who' live elsewhere and work here. This also applies to men from Nappanee v.ho work in other cities and live here. Yet Nappanee has many homes for sale. Why? Why should credit go to one political party in regards to our new schools, roads, and sewer improvements? Everything was necessary. But the man that pays for it all, the taxpayer, gets no mention and has the least to say about it all. That’s why we need men of good sound judgment to spend our money, not one political party alone to run our City. I have lived here over 70 years and just beginning to see the light. We need to wake up to the facts if we want good government Vote for the man, not the party. A VOTER
