THE EDITOR

Utmost In Minds Os A Large Majority

Dear Editor. Annexation seems to be utmost in the minds of a large majority of our people. It is happening all around us but until we are actually involved, we don't realize to what extent a town will pursue annexation. There has been much said on taxes, pollution, etc. Don't misunderstand, all of these items are extremely important — so is progress — but should it be at the expense of peoples lives??? Some of us have bought or built in what we considered rural areas. We personally have built in the country’ for our children. We wanted the more quiet life for them and the closeness among the brothers and sisters that apparently exists in most rural

Letter To Editor A 'Must*

Dear Editor: After attending the area 3 meeting last evening I felt I must write this letter. First of all I felt the majority of the town board acted like decent mature people. The honorable (???) Mr. Sharp, our clerktreasurer. showed nothing but childness and immaturity. Besides sitting up there and sneering at all the people who wanted to raise a question and laughing at everything everyone said, he had to continuously talk to Mr. Longenbaugh and play with his tape recorder. If my two-year-old acted half as bad as he did. a good thrashing would be in order. On the question of the board doing research for questions that would be'asked he said he felt they had made an effort to do a thorough research and were giving correct information. Yet. when a member of the audience raised a point and it ruffled Mr. Sharp's feathers a bit, he accused him of holding a grudge against the board due to an altercation when applying for a building permit. First erf all. if the accusation would have been true I feel this was classified information and if our elected public officials don’t respect information given to them in confidence they deserve to have a fight on their hands. I honestly think Mr. Sharp owes him more of an apology than the “I’m sorry. I’m sorry, now go home and babysit" that he yelled at him last night. Next I felt having Mr. Kirschner there was a mistake at this time. The people were too worked up over the annexation to appreciate the vital information given. He stated that most of the land in the area 3 was listed as very severe so may I ask — Why, since Syracuse wants to grow and have land to build on would they even consider annexation of area three as it is listed as the worst land to build a home or business. It was stated that Syracuse needs to have the earned dollar spent here. Might I say if they would keep their prices down all year around in comparison with the surrounding towns I’m sure

homes. Some of you may say, “Why didn’t you buy farther out?” The answer to this is, “We assumed that we did.” As a child, I came to the area with my parents on long summer vacations and always hoped someday to live here. Times have changed and Syracuse with the times, but it is still a small and beautiful community. Why do they need so many of us? We are content with our lives and I’m certain most of us do our share in the community. The unfairness of the situation is appalling. Don’t the people who are living in these areas have any choice? Sincerely, Mrs. C. D. Lawson

more earned dollars would be spent here.

Thank you for listening and reading as this gets a lot off my chest. Sometime this area will be willing and ready for annexation but not right at the present.

Muskrat Bites Terry Busz, 12 Terry Busz. 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Busz of Pierceton, was bitten on the right leg by a muskrat early Wednesday evening. The boy was playing with a group of youngsters near the Presbyterian diurch and during the play either fell or jumped into one of the window wells at the church that contained the muskrat at which time he was bitten. He did not attempt to pick up the animal. The animal was taken to the humane shelter at Warsaw by Pierceton deputy marshal Robert Noe where it died shortly after its arrival. Later the animal was taken to Indianapolis by state trooper John Hammersley where it will be examined to determine if it was rabied. In a conversation with Mrs. Busz. Terry's mother, just prior to press time she reported she had received no information from the state board of health.

Sanitary Landfill Meeting Held Frank Kirschner, soil scientist with the soil conservation service, met with the Kosciusko county commissioners recently to discuss general areas of the county that have soils that are adapted for use as sanitary landfill sites. Others attending the meeting were Myron Metzger, chairman of the Kosciusko Soil and Water Conservation bistrict, Don Frantz, county extension service, James Baker, area planner, Carroll Sherman. county sanitarian and Joseph Wilson and Carl Diehl, local soil conservation service personnel. Kirschner, who is now working on the progressive soil survey in the county pointed out that “a sanitary landfill is a method of solid waste disposal in which soil resources are used as the storage medium. Some soils are well suited for this use while others are poorly suited. Still other soils have varying kinds and degrees of limitations which need to be overcome in order to create satisfactory conditions. Unfortunately, some sanitary landfills have been, and some still are, operative in soils that are poorly suited or in which the limiting factor or factors have not been satisfactorily overcome. In such cases a landfill is destined to seriously deteriorate the environment and can hardly be called “sanitary.” In today’s affluent society, the need for the disposal of solid waste material such as garbage, paper, glass, metals of all kinds, polyethylene containers and waste from food processing to chemical manufacturing, is multiplying at a fantastic rate. Many problems associated with waste disposal are created as a result of the disposal method used. Some methods result in the creation of good habitats for flies, mosquitoes and rodents. Others pollute the air and water. Proper sanitary landfill location and management can eliminate these undesirable features. When a sanitary landfill is properly located and operated; odors, smoke blowing papers.

insect pests, rodents and water pollution are avoided. Materials placed in a sanitary landfill start decomposing almost at once and yield gases, liquids, and heat as products of biochemical decomposition. The composition of these by-products depends on the ingredients of the fill and on moisture and air supplies in the fill. When wastes are placed below the ? watertable, putrefactive anoerobic decomposition takes place, with high proportions of unstable compounds formed which are likely to seep into water supplies. A site that is considered good for a sanitary landfill needs to meet several requirements. According to research information and experience reported from other states, it is desirable to locate sanitary landfills in a deep soil with at least four feet of soil material suitable for cover. The greater the depth, the greater the landfill capacity per acre. Also, authorities agree the site should be well drained, not subject to flooding, and the permeability of the soil should not be rapid enough to allow free flow of

leachate to underground water supplies. Refuse often contains infectious material and other harmful substances and should not be permitted to cane into contact with ground or surface runoff water. The texture of the soil is an important feature from the standpoint of workability and for providing a suitable cover. Most landfill sites are used year around, which means the soil materials should be of a soil texture suitable for working with a wide range of moisture conditions. A soil survey is an excellent tool to use in selecting suitable areas for sanitary landfills. In addition to indicating the kinds of soil, a, soils map will shop physical features such as topography, drainage, waterways and transportation routes, etc. Information about the soil resources in Kosciusko county can be secured at the Soil and Water Conservation District office.” Mrs. Pauline Clauss and Misses Mildred and Ernestine Meister of Bremen visited in MiKord Sunday.
