Taxes And More Taxes - 'Why'

Dear Editor: At a time when we are trying to stabilize and control our economy, our Senators and Congressmen vote themselves an increase in salaries of 41 per cent or about $42,500 per year, a $35,000 a year pension and many other fringe benefits and our State officials salaries increased about $200,000 a year, which all seems to show a lack of patriotism or concern for the well being of our people and country. Something must be done to curb the extravagant spending of the taxpayers' money as there are now many elderly and other persons on fixed incomes that can

Lauds WHS Sectional Spirit

Dear Editor: Over the last 35 years I have participated in basketball both as a player and spectator. I have seen all kinds of teams, including state champions in large cities and small towns throughout the state of Indiana. Never have I seen so much genuine enthusiasm and spirit as was shown by the Wawasee high school cheering section at last week's sectional. If the tournament had been decided on the basis of school spirit and good

Likes Syracuse Just Like It Is

Dear Editor: This letter is directed to Mr. Lionel L. Harmison, who has seemingly delegated himself as “The Savior Os Syracuse"-. For him 1 have two questions: WHY' and HOW 9 To elaborate; WHY’ should Syracuse expand into a city? I cannot understand what possible good it could do. With all the crime and associated problems in all of America's cities, we now seem to have someone who is in favor of starting such things here Another aspect in this issue is that just maybe some people like a small town better than a

not pay their taxes and live decency. The recent article by Vance Hartke stating the 15 per cent increase in social security benefits would bring an additional payroll of $115,000,000 to purchase more goods and service from local businessmen in Indiana, was erroneous and misleading since the 15 per cent will be absorbed in taxes alone. Increasing property taxes only reduce the peoples ability to purchase consumer products which is vitally essential to keeping our economy functioning. Everett F. Ketering

sportsmanship. Wawasee high school would have won hands down Even though our team had an average season, the thought never entered their minds that the team couldn’t win. To me this exemplifies the true spirit of 99 per cent of today’s youth. Congratulations, kids, on a job well done. Keep up this w onderful attitude toward your team and your school and maybe next year you’ll cut down the nets. Bill Wesner.

city. I don't know who the “Old Timers" are that Mr. Harmison talked to, but I feel certain that they do not represent a majority of the people of the community. I have lived in Syracuse for 20 years and I enjoy the comparative peace and quiet of our dommunity; especially after a hectic summer, and I am sure that there are many other people who feel the same way. My other question was HOW? How do you propose. Mr. Harmison. that we enlarge our ' community 9 Do we invite new industry into Syracuse (I believe that this is a continuing policy of

the chamber of commerce). Do we offer such fantastically low prices on laTid that no company could afford to pass it up? Do w-e need more stores, motels, restaurants, or just what is it that we do need? My biggest beef, however, is having someone from outside the Syracuse community criticizing the tow-n. As you said yourself, Mr. Harmison. we know our local problems much better than you. So. if we do have problems, why not let us handle them. My final point is to say that I do not believe that Syracuse needs to be enlarged; Improved perhaps, but not enlarged. I would enjoy comments from Mr. Harmison. or any others who feel strongly about this issue. Bill Appenzeller P.O. Box 685 Syracuse. Ind c 46567
