Phn To Close County Home

A chapter in Kosciusko county | history is being completed with the decision of the county commiss- ' ioners and county council to close i the county home, located just, | south of Warsaw. The decision was | ■ reached when the two bodies met in the'court house in Warsaw on Monday,. A thorough discussion of the problem of closing the county, home revealed that while there are 32 patients at the county home, only six of them are-wards of the . county. It was decided it would'be | more economical to place these in ; private nursing homes. j The grounds consists of 176 acres of land, which has been rented ,on a yearly basis for $2,000. “Compassion” for the patients ' at the county home, was somethingdesired by all members of the council. Thomas'K. Warner, county auditor, told the group that a 1962 recommendation was to' study the I problem of the county home. It was the opinion of Keith Horn, a council member, that the grounds not be* sold, that the highway department needs more room. It was decided that until a decision is made as to the disposition of the county home a full time ' maintance man should be kept on duty to see that no vandalism takes place there. Home Operates At Loss The county home has been operating at a net loss of approximately $34,000, or about SI,OOO per person. The budget for the county home is approximately $56,000 and receipts amount to approximately $22,000, for a $32,000 loss. The .commissioners and county council felt they should take three steps. ■. • 1. Close the county home. 2. Decide what to do with the property. 3. Decide what to do with the patients there. - The two bodies decided on December 31, as Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Munson’s contract expires at that time,- as the closing date for the county home. By this time they hope to have the patients relocated. A transfer of funds will be necessary to pay for nursing home care of the six patients; it was pointed out. .It was suggested that the county surveyor submit a plan of the buildings with adequate ground to make it salable after which they can be offered for sale. No decision was reached as to whether the county home grounds would be suitable for the county highway department. Mr. Nye of county highway said he thought that the new highway facilities, should be along road 30, either I east or west of Warsaw'. Ralph Wrigley of Monroe township, a former commissioner, said he favored selling all the buildings and ground while they were in good condition. Other Matters The commissioners and council decided a janitor “who can use soap and water” is needed for the . court hoiise building. The court house is too large for one janitor and will need an assistant. The commissioners would be looking for someone who can “fix things,” and keep the building up. The commissioners and county council also discussed hiring a full'time engineer. It was thought his salary would have to be from $12,000 to. $13,000, with the state paying $5,000 of this amount. It was pointed out that he would more than pay for his salary in services to the county. Rules For Winter Drivers jg Washington, D.C. — All drivers can go on winter ice and snow in safety if they will follow the advice of the experts, declares Richard O. Bennett, secretary-treasurer of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. “It is tragic to see drivers get killed or injured — It’s bad enough to see them stalled —on ice or snow-packed streets and highways because they don’t know the basic rules of safe winter driving,’ i Bennett said. |

“These ground rules for getting ' places safely in Winter weather have been developed by the National Safety Council’s Committee on Winter Driving Hazards,” Bennett explained. “The rules -are observed carefully by all highly skilled commercial drivers and were developed.,., after years of testing by automotive ' engineers, test drivers, tire and chain experts, government officials, and others who have met each-year to conduct tests of all kinds of vehicles and, equipment.” The national authority on traffic safety explained that the ten commandments of safe winter drivinghave been widely publicized .by the National Safety Council and almost all safety organizations. “Television spots are now being used nationally, by the National Safety Council to give more drivers a better knowledge of how to sur- . viye on icy roadways.” he said. ! Bennett sums up the committee’s ten basic rules this way: . 1. Install anti-freeze after cooling system is flushed cut and checked for leaks. 2. Have good tires. See that tires have good treads, whether snow tires or regular. Front wheels also need treads for “cornering.” 3. Always carry reinforced tire chains. Insure your ability to “GO” on ice or in deep snow with reinforced tire chains. They are ' far superior for severe conditions such as deep snow and slippery hills. 4. Be sure wipers work. Be sure windshield wiper blades are in

engine turned up for sure starting in cold weather and have spark plugs and distributor points checked. 8. Be sure you can stop. Have brakes adjusted frequently, linings checked and free from grease. 9. Check battery frequently for proper charge and make sure it is alway full of fluid. 10. Have exhaust system- in order. Muffler and tail pipe should be checked frequently to avoid leakage of exhaust gases into car when windows are closed. “There are six principal hazards of winter driving,” Bennett declared. The two that cause the most trouble are reduced visibility and inadequate traction.” The other four he listed are (1) fluctuations of temperature, (2) reduced ability .to steer and stop, (3) unexpected icy conditions, and (4) ice and snow made slippery by rising temperature.
