& THE EDITOR

Zoning Laws A Must

Dear Editor, I’m directing this letter to the officers of our town board and our new MAD council. I for one feel we should have zoning laws in our town of Milford. We moved to Milford two years ago. We are buying a home and really like where we live. Now I find there is a possibility of a small factory locating a few feet from our front door. I have also found that there is nothing I can do to stop this from happening. I’m all for our town developing new industries and enlarging

Pollution To Lake And Syracuse

It is too bad that when we have guests such as Senator Hartke and Brademas visiting our town we can not get them a room where they can enjoy the greatest violator of air and water pollution on a 24-hour base anywhere in the country — the Vylactos Mill—almost in the heart of Syracuse, which should be renamed the home of the burnt molasses smell. It's guilty of both air and water pollution. If you are not pleased with the weeds at your per, just gather some of the residue at the mill and put it in the water at your pier. You will soon have the best weeds of all. I live more than a city block from this mill and you can not wash this residue from siding or windows no matter how you try. Nor can you wash it from your lungs or the lungs of your children in the park across the street. Is it any wonder Syracuse ranks high in. lung infection in Kosciusko county. Then to add insult to injury at 10 p.m. they pound on every piece of metal on the place till they play all verses of the anvil chorus. Have your car washed and while it is still wet rub your hands on it and feel the residue you can’t wash off. We have a town board. a Chamber of Commerce, Syracuse Lake Association and Wawasee

those we have, but if they in residential areas it will do more damage than good. I have made several attempts to obtain help from people of our town and all attempts have failed. I hope the Board and Council keeps working until they get a zoning ordinance. Until we have it I think one responsibility of the Council is to urge industry to locate in non-residential areas. Sincerely, Mrs. Ronald Smith

Property .Association, but they don't seem to care much. Oh, the Syracuse Lake Association mows the lake so the weeds can absorb the residue better. We have one of the very best town lawyers any town could want and he knows if the board asked for an injunction closing this mill from 7:30 p.m. to 7:30 a m. he could get it any time on the Indiana nuisance law for noise, smell, general disturbance. This would cut the pollution down 50 per cent. The people of Syracuse and Wawasee should stop and look at this mess and watch how often metal parts have to be replaced. Maybe the mill can tell us how to replace our lungs and the lungs of our children. Is this the sight we want across from the park, almost on the shore of our lake. This belongs out at Leland crossing or anywhere except in the heart of the town. If the town lawyer needs proof of the residue of this mill he can take the siding from my house. Walter F. Calnon Mr. and Mrs. Loren Freed of Lexington, 111., were not injured and their home was not damaged in the tornadoes that hit Lexington last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Freed is a sister of Mrs. Harold Freeman of r 3 Syracuse.

.. '"vs* - «>* a * ' : ,1WORK IN THE VILLAGE — Crewmen of the Reith-Riley Construction Co., are installing deceleration and acceleration lanes, sometimes called “escape lanes," in Wawasee Village this week. Work began last week and should be completed by Thursday of this week, so states William Moyer, supervisor on the job. . » The deceleration lanes are 12 feet wide with the acceleration lanes being smaller. The Village turn-offs have been sites of numerous auto accidents, and this improvement should help prevent these areas from being such extreme traffic hazards. Mr. Moyer stated.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin

If all of our vacationing patrons thought of the library as often as the Donald Bice family, we would have a full map of flags and postals. They have been on an extended trip and have sent cards from Missouri. Arizona, Texas, California (from Disneyland to the land of the redwoods). We have large maps in the adult and children’s rooms, on which we place the cards and locations of vacationers. Others who have remembered the library have been the Dan Levemiers, who were in northern Michigan and panada; Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Replogle, who are visiting in Stuttgart. Germany, and had been in East Berlin. W’e know of several friends who will be in Europe and Russia this summer and we look forward to hearing from them. Memorial Books The following books have been presented to the library in memory of Mrs. Steven (Janice Kay) Kaiser by Mrs. William Burgett and Mrs. Pat Davis: Revised editions of McGuffey’s Primer,

First Reader and Second Reader. There are seven volumes in the set. The library has the 1879 copyright edition of the fourth and fifth readers by McGuffey, which have been rebound. • * ♦

The summer reading program is progressing with many children using the library’, and the little listeners have colorful stars on their chart indicating the books read to them.

THE W owosee Area Jaycees Wish to thank persons attending the scheduled Flotilla Ball Saturday night for their patience, understanding and goodwill.
