THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: Since you are all for annexation, pow, for Syracuse, why not print the following to show die people what it could cost them in the near future if taken into the city of Syracuse We are all going to pay mpre taxes this year even before annexation, then the city tax rate of close to $3 per hundred more, plus the $3 per month water and $3 per month sewage, could run some home owners as much as three times as much as what they are now paying in taxes Following is a sample of such a property owner. The 1969 taxes on a $9,000 home appraised for taxes at $3,000 minus a mortgage exemption of SI,OOO leaves $2,000 which taxes is paid on in Turkey Creek township would be approximately $l3O. Add the increased valuation of the new assessment of 150 per cent on the same house and you get $4,500 appraisal for taxes less the SI,OOO mortgage exemption and this leaves $3,500 fataxes or $230 To this add the difference that Syracuse is above Turkey Creek of $3 per hundred and you have another SIOO taxes, plus the $72 water and sewage bill, and you have approximately S4OO fqr 1972 or when the water and sewers would be put tn whether you use the water and sewage or not. you will have this charge of $72 per year S4OO taxes against $l3O is approximately three times as much. Taxes are not going to come down, as the school budget is up 190.000 for this year, and seemingly the schools are costing more than was budgeted for this year, as there was an ad in the paper to borrow $230,000 to run the schools until June 30th. Also

as maid of honor in an empire gown of sky blue with a dark blue velvet top and velvet blue ribbon at center back. She wore matching shoes and gloves with a navy blue velvet bow headdress with a short veil. Her flowers were ice tipped carnations, pompons, and assorted flowers in a mini basket. Leslie L. Mauk of Milford served his brother as best man. Ushers were Theo Pope and Jim Me Bride, both serving with the bridegroom in the U. S. navy. The bride's mother chose a light blue lace dress with matching gloves and shoes for the wedding, and the bridegroom’s mother selected a lavender ensemble. Their flowers were pink carnations. , Reception Follows A reception followed in the church parlor with Mrs. Rodney McCreary. Mrs. Loren Neibert, Mrs. Mary Ringler, and Miss Carla Kaiser serving. Others assisting were Barbara Kehr and Dawn Miller. Following a wedding trip the couple will be at home in Waukegan, 111.

The bridegroom is in electronics training at Great Lakes, 111.

plans have been made to spend $1,600,000 on the school buildings in the next couple of years, so taxes can do nothing but go up The fire insurance rate will come down some on property when water is available. Police protection and garbage pick up will be furnished immediately. Expense to hook onto the sewer and water will be the property owners expense. The street repair will be added to taxes. Why. was not this all told by the city or Chamber of Commerce, before the ordinance was passed. Why. has not z the meetings on these ordinances been advertised where they will be on March 25. April I. and April 8. We are certainly entitled to know. Everyone should attend these meetings who are against annexation. Bill Brammer Syracuse, Indiana

Marketing Guides Given LAFAYETTE — Com prices from now to early summer likely will hold close to late February levels, according to Purdue University agricultural economists. However, price increases are not expected to exceed carrying charges. Soybean prices are expected to remain near or drift slightly below- late February levels during the spring. A carryover of about 300 million bushels will act as a deterrent to any unusual price advance. Reduced hog marketings will continue to give prices a strong undertone, although some weakness may occur in April. Beef production is expected to continue above year earlier levels during March and April with prices remaining near to slightly above current levels (S3O per hundredweight for choice steers at Chicago.) Egg prices are likely to decline more than normal for the season during the next 60 days. Grade A large at wholesale in Chicago may trade below 40 cents a dozen by the end of this period. A greater than normal seasonal increase in production will be a major factor in the price decline. Turkey prices are expected to remain near mid-February levels during the next two months. Sharp price declines are in prospect during June as the 1970 crop begins to move in volume. Advice For Drivers Os Submerged Cars In the wake of tragedies caused by cars plunging into lakes and streams, the Chicago Motor ClubAAA offers this advice for drivers who may experience a mishap that causes their car to leave the roadway and head for water: —Don’t panic. —Brace yourself for protection against injury when the car hits the water. —Remember that usually a car will stay afloat for three minutes. Generally, the more compact the car. the longer it will float. —The best way out is through a window before the car sinks. —ls you can’t get out this way, try the doors. In most cases doors will open as the car fills with water and pressures inside and outside become equal. —ls you can’t get a window down and the doors are jammed, kick a hole in a window or the windshield. —ls the car submerges, an air pocket often is created inside against the roof. This can save your life. —Be sure to take a deep breath before moving out of the car. In deep water it is vital to release your breath slowly. Otherwise the “compressed” air taken in will expand as you rise and cause paralysis or death. —The key to escape is, of course: Don’t panic. Residing At Wawasee Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Hodler are residing at Lake«Wawasee, r 1 following their return from a wedding trip to Florida. They were united in marriage on March 5 at Muncie.

Census Provides Some 4,000 Jobs To Hoosiers

. WE HAVE been reading a lot about the 10 year Federal census and present here a preview aimed at answering questions. This census, planning already underway in Indiana, is the 19th ten year census of the USA. The first was in 1790. The temporaryjobs of taking the census is manna from heaven for the political party in power. This time National Republican Chairman L. Keith Bulen and the Congressional delegation grabbed off the hiring from Gov. Edgar D. Whitcomb and State Chairman Buena Chaney faction of the party. Bulen told us: “We are involved presently in coordinating the entire census with some 4,000 people for the State of Indiana who are now employed or to be employed. It is a temporary project. There are a lot of hangups. There are many complexities and it is brand new to us. “There is the matter of getting district managers, regional technicians, office managers and chief clerks as well as enumerators. The pay is at least $2 per hour on the low paid jobs, $2.50 for crew chiefs.” Official date of the census is that of April 1, 1970. One of the first named to help was indicted outside any connection with the census and subcommitted his resignation to Bulen and Congressman Richard L. Roudebush. It is estimated that the previous 1960 census in the USA failed to include as many as

The evening’s main event will also be following a G.A.A. basketball encounter between Milford junior high school and Syracuse junior high school. The Red Heads have made the greatest impact on sports fans than any other group of female athletes that have performed before the sports world. Playing first class basketball and entertaining sports fans with their skilled basketball wizardry, laugh-provoking antics and acts, the Red Heads as always are America’s favorite basketball performers. This year’s edition of the Red Heads will be appearing in more than 200 cities, towns, and communities throughout the sports world - playing men’s teams only - and winning. Last year’s team won 169 out of 203 games played. Barnstorming across the sports world by plane or car the Red Heads are fascinating fans with their athletic magic, delighting huge audiences with their athletic magic, delighting huge audiences with their amusing antics - as only the Red Heads can - and

seven million persons. Elaborate efforts are being made to include everyone this time, especially the blacks. What does the Decennial Census provided in our Federal Constitution mean to Hoosiers? The census of population determines the number of members Indiana has in Congress, which is now eleven. It is the basis of apportionment in the state legislature. The distribution of many funds, by the Federal government and by the state to local units of government. is determined by the census figures. The census not only is basis of distribution of billions of dollars of Federal funds, but is used in planning housing, health, transportation, education dollars, welfare and other services. For the first time, within the USA the census will be conducted mainly by mail. Each of some 63 million households will receive questionnaires by the end of March. Census takers will obtain the information from only those households that do not respond or have returned incomplete forms. The census will even include reports on vacant housing, as the 160.000 census takers make their rounds. Statisticians estimate the 1970 census will involve no less than 203.7 million civilians and members of our armed forces. This will be some 24.4 million more than the previous census. It is estimated Indiana will have somewhat more than five million

exciting the paying fans with their sparkling play and most refreshing personalities. The following faculty members will provide the opposition for the All-American Red Heads i Ralph “Muscles” Bushong, Carroll “Bruiser” Denton, Phil “Hot Shot” Dick, Bill “Speedy” Dorsey, Richard “Farmer Boy” Edwards, Robert “Go-Go” Hamman, Jim “The Dribbler” Hite, Tom “Pistol Pete” Joies, Jerry “Gunner” Lambert. Bob “Hooks” Long, Lynn “Put ’Em Up” Pittman, Lawrence “Leapin’” Pletcher, and Tom “Bones” Stiver. The faculty team will be coached by Loren “Kurly” Longenbaugh.

population. A few general questions will be asked of all. such as sex, race, age, marital status, household head, and quality of household unit. Other detailed information will be obtained personally by enumerators in about one household in five. It will seek such information as education, employment, income, children, nativity and disability. The census is expected to show a population growth in the South which has marked upsurge of white immigrants. South growth to as much as 63.7 million will surpass the growth of the West. It is expected to show continued rapid population growth continued rapid population growth in suburban areas. California will probably be the fastest growing state. All groups except farm workers are expected to show increase. Much “viewing with alarm” has gotten into print about the census being an invasion of our personal privacy. That makes headlines, but personally we we * have found nothing in the census questionnaire that we would hesitate to answer. Individual census returns are treated with as much privacy .as tax returns paid to Federal and State governments. Census s records are used to establish age for social security purposes and other important and valuable services to all of us.
