WiHjOg ibouw JraSWsi mpr One local woman described herself as “furious” at literature she found stapled between the pages of copies of “Better Home and Gardens” in a local laundromat. The typed pieces appear over the signature of Gerald L. K. Smith, widely known Christian Nationalist Crusader, and selfaddressed envelopes also appear, presumably with which one can send in money. They describe the blood bath ahead, warn that the politicians are conceding to black power demands to get votes, and warns of impending doom if Robert Kennedy becomes President. As one reads these pieces, it’s no wonder our lady informant became furious. So did we. The laundromat owners said people appear at all hours of the night to bring in these magazines with such pieces stapled inside, and that it’s very difficult to police them. ❖ * * The report that Hoosier Democratic gubernatorial nominee Robert L. Rock visited Wawasee Prep last week was erroneous, but Mrs. Rock was a luncheon

Ir - REMOVE OLD CONCRETE — Mike Larranaga has had the old concrete in front of his East Main street residence, just west of the Syracuse public library, broken up and removed. He intends to seed the area and make it into a lawn. ’ In this photo Theldon Kline is removing the broken concrete.

so says Jay Rigdon, tall and handsome owner of the new driving range—Jay’s Golf — which opens this week. Os course he’s referring to the new Astroturf which will be put down on a section of the tee-off area. Astroturf is the newly developed “grass” which was developed for the air-conditioned Astrodome in Houston, Texas. As they say on TV, instead of raking the turf, they vacuum it. Jay’s Golf is located just off road 13 south of Syracuse. Rigdon says if it proves popular, a nine-hold par three course will be added with lights for night playing. * * * People along the parade routes of the various community fair parades are asking, “Who is Trudy?” Trudy is the striking, bright-ey-ed woman usually riding on the back seat of an open convertible, who happens to be the Republican candidate for state auditor. Her last name is- Etherton, and her husband happens to be South Bend sportscaster Bill Etherton, well known in Kosciusko county.

“who wants some weeds?” Kosciusko county Democrats are still hopeful of getting a national figure to appear on the same platform in Warsaw with Birch Bayh, Robert Rock and John Brademas in a pre-election fund-raising meeting, presumably at the armory building. They had high hopes of getting Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy to appear here, but hopes for this coupe have dimmed since his seclusion following the assassination of his brother Robert Kennedy. One of the hottest things around is the Bargain Barn set up at Magee Pottery on the north edge of North Webster. Looking for a bargain, ladies? See Charlie Magee. Dd is having a great big rhubarb with members of the so-call-ed “upper-crust” of Kale Island, whoever that might be. Ssme thoughtful person or

Special Session Denied By Gov. Roger Branigin said he Would not call a special session of the state legislature, as has been asked by Robert Wyatt and his powerful state teachers’ association. When making the statement, Gov. Branigin struck out at what he called “frills in education”. He said, “Many acute observers of the educational scene believe that immediate steps must be taken to eliminate administrative and curriculum non - essentials.” Failure to do so may result in legislative reprisals. There is no desire to destroy or impair quality education, but sanctions upon “blue ribbon” committee report school units to comply with fixed and limited ad valorem taxes and limitations upon teacher and administration contracts until funds which will be available are known is inevitable,” he continued. His decision was based on his “blue ribbon” committee report on financial conditions of Indiana schools. The committee studied 86 school systems said to be in financial trouble and reported only 17 of them will be in debt or without additional budget authority for 1969. The governor’s special committee had recommended that financially distressed school corporations advertise their 1969 budgets and tax rates above the legal limits on the assumption the 1969 Legislature could change the law and increase the legal tax rate ceiling of $4.95. Branigin’s decision was not expected to sit well with state school supt. Richard D. Wells, who June 26 issued a directive to school administrators to prepare their 1969 budgets with property tax rates within the legal limitations. Wells denounced the special committee’s recommendation as and illegal advice”. Wells had directed school officials in systems in trouble to prepare budgets which showed the amount of revenue expected to be raised by the legal tax rate, and another amount which would be actually needed to operate the school systems. “The state’s financial needs are enormous,” the governor said. “Increase in ad valorem taxes invites taxpayer revolt. Increases in state taxes will be acceptable only if the units of government exercise the highest degree of frugality. The temperature of the people is for quality education and quality public services without extravagance and frills.” persons added a drain on Pickwick road west of the bridge going to Kale Island. This spot in the road was under water (extremely deep) during the recent week of rain.
