Turkey Creek township residents are still pondering the results of last Tuesday s primary election. Os local concern was the race for the Republican nomination for township trustee. Harold C.' Kuhn, incumbent trustee, was seeking re-election, but failed to put on any type of campaign. His opponent. Joe D. Shewmon, a newcomer to politics, did state his case fairly well, extending his remarks into the area of annexation. The result: Shewmon carried five of the six Turkey Creek townships, losing precinct six to trustee Kuhn in a 59-42 vote. Shewmon hit hard at the increase in assessments made under the Kuhn administration, stating they were far too harsh and not in keeping with assessments in other areas. In this he touched on a sore spot. Dissatisfaction over increased assessments is widespread. In fact, the dissatisfaction 0riginaling in Turkey Creek township has spilled over into almost every township .in Kosciusko countv. When Turkey Creek

As a result, a countywide protest is being heard. • * • The go-go girl asked the doctor to vaccinate her where it wouldn't show. ••Okay,” he replied. "Stick out your tongue.” • • • Two other contests on last Tuesday’s ballot that were being watched concerned candidates for the office of county assessor and for county commissioner from the southern district, both on the Republican ticket. In the matter of the race for county assessor incumbent Carl T. Zintmer was opposing former first deputy auditor Betty Busselberg. Zimmer, a hard-working assessor. was tied in with the higher reassessment stigma in the county which was being protested in .Turkey Creek township. As. a result. he was not being spoken of kindly in this township. Election return figures bear this out. Os the six precincts in Turkey Creek township. Carl Zimmer received only two. the second and fifth The second he won by a 41-34 vote, and the fifth he won by a 56-53 vote. On the other hand, he lost precinct three by a 60-39-

vote and lost six by a 64-32 vote. Zimmer defeated Mrs. Busselberg by 1.253 votes in the county total-3,133 to 2,980. A surpriser to many in Turkey Creek township was the returns here in the Anglin, Lowman vote for county commissioner from the southern district. While Glen N. Lowman defeated incumbent Harvey B. Anglin by 78 votes <3,041 to 2,963). Anglin won in Turkey Creek township: 237 for Lowman to 288 for Anglin. Anglin won the second precinct (47-26', the third precinct (63-33', the fourth precinct (26-23), and the fifth precinct (57-44>. And he lost the sixth precinct by only one vote—46 to 47. This vote was surprising inasmuch as inctunbent er Anglin was the prime mover in the firing of Chuck Cleveland as county highway superintendent. Cleveland had many friends in Turkey Creek township where be made his home. The local backlash against Anglin failed to materialize. • * • Brief cases are those things carried by lawyers who hope the ones they are working on won't be. • • • Well known Les Leman is home from Washington for several days last week visiting family and friends.

It might give some concerned taxpayers an opportunity to question the pert little beauty on why she defied a state court, thus costing the taxpayers of Indiana over SBOO,OOO in attorney’s fees. ♦ • • North Webster banker Ed Likens states his bank is concerned

primarily with lake-oriented mortgages, having little concern for farm sales. One time we wrote up a farm sale bill, he recalls, and an office girl used the word "guilts” for "gilts.” • • • The Harry Nicolais have a couple young boarders with them to keep them on their toes.

This is an all-important meeting deemed necessary before the fall session schedule rolls around. • • • Invitations are out for the annual Syracuse high school alumni association banquet scheduled for May 23 in the junior high school cafeteria. A new face at the local license branch Is congenial Jean Insley of Parkway Drive, Syracuse. • * • Syracuse police to the rescue again!

Unofficial reports are the doomed turtle will be , among others being collected by conservation officer Money for an
