Public Hearing On Warsaw By-Pass Held Wednesday

A public hearing was held in | the Kosciusko county court house (circuit court room) at Warsaw on Wednesday, Dec. 12, at 2 p. m., concerning highway improvements for US 30 proposed by the Indiana State Highway Commission in Kosciusko county. The project involves dual paved traffic lanes, each 24’ wide, separated by a variable width center median, 50’ wide for the most part. Also involved are five twin bridge structures over local streams, plus one over the NYC RR Trunk, and an interchange structure over SR 15 about 1.3 mile north of Warsaw. The route section to be considered at this hearing begins at a point on the Marshall-Kosciusko county line about o.39jnile north of present US 30; extending eastward near to the north limits of Etna Green, the proposal would then project adjacent to, and north of, existing US 30 for about 3 miles: thence still in an eastward direction from south of Hoffman lake to near the north limits of the village of Atwood; From there the line would veer to a due east projection for about 5.5 miles to a location about 1.3 miles north of the north corporate limits of Warsaw; thence curving Southeasterly, extending north of Pike lake, the proposal would terminate at a point on existing US 30 about 0.5 miles east of the east corporate limits of the city of Warsaw. Total gross length to be considered at this hearing is 14.062 miles all in Kosciusko county, Ind. The hearing will be conducted by Oral S. Craig, Chief Hearing Officer from the Planning Division of the Indiana State Highway Commission. The public is invited to appear ht this hearing and to support or present objections to the proposed highway improvement.

Holiday Shoppers Warned Os Schemes The season to be merry is also the season to be wary, according to Changing Times, the Kiplinger Magazine. An article in the current issue of the magazine warns holiday shoppers to be alert for the following schemes to snare Christmas trade. The price tag that’s a fake. “It usually has two prices: one that says ‘worth X dollars’ or ‘value X dollars’ or ‘list price, X dollars’; the other that is the ‘reduced’ or ‘slashed’ or ‘bargain selling price.’ Nine times put of ten, you can be sure the whole thing is a phony.” The guarantee that means nothing. “It doesn’t tell you who guarantees the item, how long it is guaranteed for, whether all or part of the item is covered, or precisely what recourse you have in case your buy turns sour. A garantee should be written down and be precise in all these details.” The “bait” ad. “It usually offers some great bargain that isn’t there when you get to the store. If that happens, walk out. Don’t let the clerk switch you to some other item about which you know nothing.” The purchase contract that’s usurious. “Either the terms are in small print or the contract is left blank when you sign it. Later, you can be held up for an exorbitant credit charge or a price in excess of the one you agreed on. Be sure the terms are clear and understandable.” The merchant who wanders. "He sets up shop just for the Christmas rush. His bargains may be irresistible, but should they go bad, you’ll never be able to find him again to get satisfaction. Deal only with established stores.” Komets Take Over First Place ** The Fort Wayne Komet hockey team went into first place in the International Hockey League. With some new faces in the line up and the whole team playing some very good hockey, the Komets take Oh the newest member of the league, Port Huron, Saturday, Dec. 15, and then host old time rival, Omaha, Wednesday, Dec. 19.
