Letters To The Editor A Republican Speaks Up

’EDITOR'S NOTE: Mrs. McClintic wrote the following to Miss Pauline Jordan, county Republican leader, and submitted it to The Mail-Journal, requesting we make public the letter which she said “concerned her deeply”) December 18, 1966 Pauline Jordan. 1 don’t know if your a Miss or a Mrs., all I know is that you are supposed to be a good Republican. I have been told that you are heading the committee for the incoming and outgoing officials in Kosciusko county to be held December 30, 1966. which is not very far away. I feel, and I’m sure that millions of others in this country do, that the Republican party has made far too many blunders in the past, or else we would have more of our men in Washington and in the White House. How do you and Giles Hoffer, who I am told is working with you for I this ceremony, ever expect the Re-1 publican party to gain any votes if you and he act in such a childish, narrow-minded way in not inviting Mr. Holbrook and Dave Andrews to this swearing in of the newly-elect-; ed officials These two men must be mighty good "Democrats" or they could nev-; er have received all the Republican votes to be elected in the first place Don't you see how many we are

Obligation And Duty

Dear Editor: Well, the “Royal Guard” is “at it again. They are now opposing the state providing a launching area, swimming and picnicking area, and other recreational use of Wawasee Lake down at tlx* old fish hatchery. Now, Wawasee Lake belongs to all of the people of the state of Indiana, regardless of race, creed, or color, and the slate has the right (as a mater of fact, they have the obligation anti duty) to provide a public recreational area together with a launching site for boats for people living outside the immediate Wawasee shores. The opposition to this necessary

c I going to lose in 1968 and if we don’t e get in Washington in 1968, then I , t feel it is too late to even try. Fact , is, I'm almost afraid to think about r what might happen before we get a - j chance to vote in 1968. ; I freely admit that, and am proud to tell you, I voted for Mr. Hol5 brook and Mr. Andrews. I am a ReI publican. I always have been. We i have two married sons and my hus- - i band, both of our boys and their [ wives voted for Dave Andrews and I {l'm proud of it. I Whenever the Republican party • | does not see fit to run a man, in my , estimation, that is not suitable for the office and the Democrats run a ; good man—we all vote for the BEST MAN. And you know we have a lot of Republicans who are “stinkers", otherwise why would we have pri- ■ mary elections? There must be a lot ’ of other Republicans who feel as I ' do or how else could he have been I elected in this county. Think this over, Pauline, and show this to your co-worker, Mr. Hoffer. | Because if these Democrats are left I I out of this ceremony, I will never JOIN the Republican party again ; and w ill never DONATE ONE CENT TO THE PARTY You and Mr. Hofi fer had either start growing up and stop acting like "poor loser children" at a little league ball game. 1 know that this is only one couni ty fan the whole U. S. A., but it just

would not contaminate the water any more than the present fish hatchery water does when it is run into the lake. This would be a safe beach for people to bring their little children, and there is nothing more enjoyable for older people to see than a bunch of youngsters enjoying playing in the water. This

facility takes the stand on biological objections stating that the swim- t ' mmg areas are the ones that pro- 1 duce the bacteria. Well. I suppose ; I j acme people may need a bath bad- ; l ly enough to want to come to Wa- 1 wasee Lake and take a bath. I i i don’t see any objection to that and s : I don’t see how bathers can con- 1 taminate a lake. Wawasee Lake is ’ much larger than a bath tub and i surely any bateria that might be i liberated by some long-time un- \ i bathed human being would not re-1 < mam in one swimming hole area 11 \t :y long as the lake is large and l| it has a habit of distributing every- j thing that comes to its attention.

could be that this very kind of thing ' is going on all over the country, : maybe that’s why the Republican party has lost so much ground for so many years? We’ve only had one Republican president since I have been able to vote and I've been old enough to vote since 1936. I am proud to say that I voted for Mr. Andrews, also that every chance I got to give him a boost, I did. And a lot of these young people, who do not know’, ask us about the officials who were running in the election. Yes. I lost some Republican votes because I feel that there were other men on the ticket not worthy of holding office and I'll bet, before ! their terms are over, there will be many Republicans who will be sorry they voted their ticket straight. We have got to pull a lot of Democrat votes in 1968 or we’re lost and I there will not be a Republican par-I Itv Then, what will the outcome be? i ’ PLEASE. BE BROADMINDED.

We certainly have sufficient laws to prohibit any undesirable people from using" any state recreational area or launching site and we have state conrenation officers patrolling the lake. Os course, looking at it from a selfish standpoint, none of us would like to see a recreationa area provided for mostly off shore state residents: but, we can not be selfish and be good citizens and good neightxws to the rest of the citizens oi the state of Indiana, and deprive them of their just rights as taxpayers.
