W, W. PAULI.. Publisher. Editorials NOT WARRANTED NOW In a recent petition filed with the Public Service Commission of Indiana, the United Telephone Company of Indiana, Incorporated, has filed asking permission for a blanket rate increase for Syracuse and 73 other exchanges operated by the company. We attended a meeting of the directors of the Wawasee Property Owners Association the other night at which a representative of the telephone company attempted to present the reasons his firm needed to charge higher rates. The basic argument of the telephone company seems to be that higher rates were needed to stimulate faith in the company for investors in order that the capital value of the company rfight thus be increased. We can sympathize with the difficulties in running a comparatively s/iall telephone exchange in an area where the large number of subscribers are widespread. We do agree that service in the Syracuse community has been greatly improved in the past five or six years from the substandard facility formerly used here. However, we can also sympathize, with some of the member of the Wawasee Property Owners Association, who seem to think that long-range planning was and may still be lacking for the local phone system. Long distance service out of Syracuse is definitely substandard right now. with long waits being the general rule and not the exception. Still, local service is rather good in comparison. We cannot see the reason for the difference here. It is now understood that dial service will be Installed within the next couple of years in Cromwell, with Syracuse and the idea for an all-inclusive telephone exchange around the lake area here to be left behind. It seems to us that long range planning should include a system whereby neighboring towns could be dialed from here, dial system for all exchanges, find more long distance lines or whatever it would take to speed up the service out of Syracuse. Immediate improvement colld be made locally in eliminating the unannounced Tong distance delays whereby the phone suddenly becomes quiet and the subscribed is left hanging there not knowing what to do, and unable to do anything if he did. Until this better service looks a little closer in time, we cannot go along with the request for increasing the already-high telephone rates in this area.

, After the Ball ; Would License Motorboats To Pay For New State Lake Patrol Boat System By Bob Barnet (Editor's Note: The following column was taken from The Muncie Star of Sunday, August 8, 1954. We thought it might be of some interest to our lake area readers, inasmuch as the boating-fishing probi lem seems to arise in this locality at times. We are indebted to Mr. Barnet, Sports Editor of The Mun- ' cie Star, and Mr. John O. Ferris, Managing Editor of the same paper, for permission to reprint this cols umn in its entirety.) IF THE INDIANA DEPARTMENT of Conservation is able to get through the necessary legislation—- ■ and officials believe the job can be done handily—owners of motor powered craft will be required to ■ foot the bill for a patrolboat system designed to sweep from Hoosier lakes and rivers the wave-hopping ( cowboy who makes life miserable for fishermen and gives every boating enthusiast a bad name.

Conservation official Vach el . Richardson told this writer recently that Kenneth Marlin, Farmland. who is superintendent of wardens, plans to present to the next session of the Indiana Legis- ; lature a bill that would license every motor boat, regardless of size, and perhaps every individual who operates a power boat. j. Fees thus derived would be used to purchase a fleet of boats and motors of sufficient power to collar the omeriest speed demon. According to the plan a patrol boat would be placed on every Indiana lake of any size, making unnecessary the transportation of boats from lake to lake. In addition to a regular conservation officer, as many as a halfdozen deputies would be given power to take out each of the patrol boats and make arrests for reckless driving and other motor violations. Under the proposed setup it would be possible for the department to maintain a close check on operators of power boats by means of the licenses, which could be revoked at any time and for the period of time deemed necessary. Not all owners of power boats know it, but the same laws apply to boats that govern the use of automobiles with respect to reckless driving. Enforcement has been slack, not because the department didn’t know about the roughneck tendencies of many powerboat playboys, but because there were no funds to make a patrol system possible. The proposed law would serve a double purpose in providing funds for a patrol and giving the department a means of yanking troublemakers off the lakes and rivers. HOWLS OF ANGUISH from the folks who like to spend their time at the lakes in fishing have rent the air since the first speedboat appeared on an Indiana lake. In recent years the cries have increased in volume, partly because there are more motors sold now than at any other time and partly because aquatic rowdyism is increasing at an alarming rate. Oddly enough, it usually isn’t the folks who own or rent lake cottages who stir up the trouble. Chief offenders are the week-end speed-demons who pull thir boats off automobile trailers, crank up . 10-horse or 25-horse motors, and try to see how many bluegill fishermen they can drown, before sundown. ■they have no ties at any particular lake. They are here this morning and gone this afternoon. One Sunday finds them raising hell on one lake — next Sunday they are somewhere else. Motorboats are here to stay and it is likely that devotees of boating and fishing could work out some sort of compromise satisfactory to everyone were it not for the week-end hotshots. At one lake owners of power boats agreed to use only the deep

watr in the center of the lake, where there usually are no fishermen. That arrangement pleased all parties but the peace lasted only until the next Sunday, when the happy visitors arrived with their big motors and began slashing through the bluegill waters. They left a trail of beer cans ■ and hard feelings and now the ■ fishermen are mad at their neighbors again, just because they own big motors. RICHARDSON PREDICTED that a determined patrol by wellequipped conservation officers will serve as a deterrent to wild driving on the lakes and rivers but expressed the opinion that it might someday be necessary to bar from all but a few large lakes motors of more than five horsepower. Even then, he observed, there might be trouble-makers who wouldn’t be happy until they learned if a boat equipped with a five-horse motor could overturn a fishing boat, as indeed it can. It’s too bad that a few knotheads spoil things for the thousands of decent folks who gain enjoyment from the sensible operation of power craft. But it’s the same on the highways—the tire screamers, the boys who turn corners on two wheels, the lads who speed in park drives and even in alleys, the wild-eyed punks who think every city street is the home stretch of a jalopy layout — they louse up the detail for everybody. The only answer is grim enforcement and heavy penalties. The majority must be protected from the thoughtless minority. Richardson revealed also that powerboat maniacs won’t be welcomed at the fishing areas opened in recent months at several lakes by the Department of Conservation. These areas were designed for fishermen and were made possible by federal funds from a 10 per cent tax on fishing tackle. The department intends that the landings shall be reserved for fishing boats with moderatesized motors. The boys with the big engines will be invited to move on. ANOTHER MATTER that has been brought to the attention, of the Department of Conservation lately is the pumping of water from Indiana streams for private irrigation projects. Richardson said the department had had a number of complaints from all sections of the state that farmers had rigged up irrigation systems for field crops, including com and tomatoes, and were pumping thousands of gallons of water from streams already dangerously low because of drouth conditions. The Department of Conservation has turned the matter over to the deputy attorney general for an opinion as to possible law viola-

tion and expects an early opinion. If the department finds itself unable to move immediately against farmers helping themselves to water from the streams . it will introduce legislation to make the practice unlawful and to establish penalties. Under section 94 of the present fish and game laws the wardens will act quickly against operators of home-made irrigation projects . if it becomes apparent that the water level is lowered sufficiently , to endangr the lives of fish. It is likely, Richardson said. . that freestyle irrigation of farm crops with river water won’t be ‘ with us long. NO CUB PACK MEETING Cubs of Pack 56 will have no regular meeting this month. The swimming program, which has been held the past two weeks at the Orrin Smith home, is given as the reason for the cancelaltion of the regular meeting. MARRIAGE LICENSE ISSUED A marriage license was issued Tuesday in Elkhart to Charles C. Lantz. Syracuse and Sharon L. Nusbaum, Goshen.

Appearing as Mr. Pim in the play which will be staged in the barn theatre at the East End of the Lake next Tuesday through Sunday, will be Bob Moak. Mr. Moak, who is only 24 years of age, has appeared in so many “old man’’ roles at the local theatre that many patrons refused to be convinced that he is still a young man. Others in the cast for next week are Dick Turmail, Audrey Lazier, Bruce Mack, Marilynne Rust, and Walter Bagot, several of whom have appeared in the various starring roles in other plays earlier in the season. Tickets for Mr. Pim Passes By, the next-to-last production by the Playhouse organization here this year, are available on calling Cornwell IF2I for reservations. The last play this year will be Light Up The Sky, a story of theatre life by Moss Hart. p fl ■ The young man with the cane here does not use it to walk, but to handle the 198 pound Duroc barrow shown with him in the picture. The young man is Earl Roberta, his brother Ronald was responsible for the raisin* and care of the animal, which was bought by Arnold s Home Stereos Syracuse. Roberts also had another Duroc in the sale last Friday at Warsaw during the County Fair, and it was purchased by the Syracuse Electric Company.
