The Wheel That Squeaks ..
Dear Editor: We are hearing loud ramblings from a minority section of our school corporation who feel they ; have the right to dictate to the majority of its citizens. Perhaps they are going on the assumption that "the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the most grease". I do not deny their right to be heard, i I do feel they have an obligation to listen to the other sides of the problem before they form their opin-1 ions.

Sir: You kindly gare The MaJ-Joumal two weeks ago for. a . letter of mine in. which I voiced . oppos.tion to any .proposed site for i any Dewart Lake area and ex- - - sed the opinion that" a Syra-" ctise location would be more econch- ■ micai, and' not really huich of a hardship on any student in the Lakeland district. I attended, the meeting of the school board lastweek as you noted and spoke my opinion that the Syracuse location, was economical and logical. I asked the school board and you rioted the answer regarding the relative costs of construction and operation in the Syracuse area The answer from the board was that while no det.i I study had been made they all agreed that a Syracuse loca’ion would be more economical. The board, also reviewed the pre- ' new high school from the available i figures of. enrollment in the . four elementary, schools, The board indicated that they were only planning on a facility to take care of the immediate needs which wout ; . mean that almost as soon as the school was built that plans for ad- ; ditions_U'(Hild have to be made This <eemingly. short sighted policy' was by their inability, to finance a larger facility. ; .

An Opinion From Purdue
’ Dear Editor: 1 In "Letters to the Editor” of Febi ruary 7. 1965, the gentleman who was so kindly condemning the fox ! as a disease-bearing, wanton predator should read up on a few more bulletins and reports. . . The fox is not half as bad as this gentleman likes to think. True, he is a predator, but predators are needed Nature meant them, to be ■ here to fill a very important p che in the' overall scheme of things.

Many vitally interest citizens, and I am one of them, feel there is. a more intelligent approach to the placing of our school. We have watched money being poured into some of the smaller schools since we have been a corporation and have been glad that these buildings are being upgraded. But remember Turkey Creek township pays 40 percent of the taxes in the entire 4 and one half townships We paid for 40 percent of the bus drivers' salaries—4o per. cent of the

There is Seemingly no end to the upward cost of education, and ex- j ponding is only a part of this Mr. Spear gave an excellent report; on the needs of our district in elementary education, not. only the realm of expanding num- . bers of students but also of the need !

also remember that foxes do prey on a large number of vermin, especially- field mice and rats which As for the' fox never becoming extinct, this may be probable. The fox is one of the few. creatures left which has-been able to adjust to the drastic’ inroads our civilization has made on natural- habitat. Therefore, we should not completely condemn him. ’.
