taiziNjteS AROUND g®’ 0 / As the sun begins to set on the closing days of the Indiana General Assembly, legislators can expect to get the heat from a number of sources who are demanding more funds to carry on their expanded public services. One such group is the Indiana State Teachers Association, and already their wrath is being felt. In fact, two Wawasee high school teachers got their walking papers last week in the form of a telegram from tfieir diminutive but powerful boss, Robert Wyatt, to be on hand Saturday, Feb. 8, at the state house to speak to their respective legislators requesting more state funds for public schools. The two were Michael Neff, president of the Lakeland Classroom Teachers’ Association, and Philip Fawley, legislative chairman of the group. They were on hand as part of the 400-strong Indiana teachers to present a show of force for more funds. They call the proposed budget of Governor Edgar Whitcomb “woefully inadequate” to meet the growing public pressures for better and more expanded education in Indiana. The cabal expected by some never came off; indeed, no such

“violence” was expected or anticipated on the part of the ISTA, but those opposed to the powerful teachers’ association were conjuring up visions of fright to wave in front of Hoosier over the state. The ISTA appears to be against more property taxes—and for this we must applaud them—and favor an increase by one if not two cents on the state’s new sales tax. They claim another penny on the present two per cent sales tax would raise an additional $113,000,000 in state revenue. Governor Whitcomb is categorically against any additional taxes as he said in his campaign speeches, and may be hung by this very promise. Already his own party chief. Representative Otis (“Doc”) Bowen of Bremen has taken exception to the Governor’s austerity program, revealing a deep split in Republican ranks over the desire to keep a campaign promise or bring the state along with the many added services the public appears to want. Governor Whitcomb appears on a disastrous course whichever way he goes and the name Whitcomb is almost sure to fade into oblivion after a somewhat spastic four years at the helm of Hoosier affairs at Indianapolis. Legislators representing this area are mum on the division, with state senator John Augsburger of Milford keeping his peace as a freshman in the Assembly. Representatives Thames Mau z y, Ralph Heine, and Arthur Coblentz, serving this county, are feeling the heat from back home, but they have no desire to cross the Governor—at least until forced to show

Grabner, with the major part going into plants at Antwerp, Ohio, and Columbia City and Syracuse, Ind. Increased capacity of the plants is expected to result in more jobs at eacff location, Grabner commented, adding, “This growth is the first step of many that will carry us vigorously into the next decade of growth.” $ * * Leesburg’s recent flight into the headlines and over the TV tube caused by the hasty resignation of their town board members and town marshal has apparently been breached over and all is love and kisses again. The board, back in business with grocer Don Tarner taking the place of Harold Irvine, refused to sit for a formal photo for this paper. stating, “We’ve already had enough publicity; let’s let this thing cool down.” Marshal Gene (“Cricket”) Kammerer, the man over whom much of the fuss was all about in the first place, took it all in stride. He confided, that while he had officially resigned he continued to patrol the town and to do such necessary things as had to be done. And we found all was not told about the six-year-old town pick-up truck, which got the new S4OO motor, either. When we investigated how the side of the truck got mashed in, we were told Cricket was making his rounds one night and a freight car on the Big Four ran into the truck. :■ t $ Don’t, be too surprised if an uptown business locates in Wawasee Village at a future date. Pete Luttman, owner of Gamble’s in the uptown business district, purchased land next to Augsburger’s IGA some time ago with an eye to an eventual move in that direction. The building Gamble’s is now located in, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Hillery Bachman, has been sold to its next door neighbor, the State Bank of Syracuse. So, if the bank decides to expand, you can almost make book that Pete will be moving to the Village. $ $ ❖ We got a chuckle out of a piece

given us about the “poor editor” and thought it a good piece for this column last week. Not to be outdone, we received this rejoiner in the mail on Thursday: “Memo to the Poor Editor; “What if that child had not been born? Would you have had a chance to sell him your paper — $4 a year, $l6O or more in a lifespan? Would you have had advertisers who tried to sell to him —, at $$ per inch? “Sir, the grass is always greener when you look at it from afar —a doctor, a hospital, a minister, a jeweler, a dress shop, a common ordinary guy, a funeral director.” We consider ourselves well told off—and the issue is closed, as we close this column, pack our bag and fly away for two weeks in the balmy clime of odoriferous Hawaii.
