facts about $ ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY John Martin, Our Town’s new street and water department head, should be congratulated for the excellent job he has done the past few weeks in clearing the streets of ice and snow. The ice storm that hit last Wednesday night closed schools on Thursday morning and once again left the area at a stand-still. Many persons were late to work while others did not make it at all. John worked in the rain throughout the day as temperatures rose to 36 degrees to clear the streets so freezing temperatures during the evening hours would not cause the streets to be entirely impassable. - One of our little birds tells us Mrs. Harry Martin of Our Town has an interesting hobby. She has an attractive collection of salt and pepper shakers with 1.802 pairs on display on the bookshelves in her living room. “Many of the shakers were given by her friends. Mr. Martin brought a set home when he was in Hawaii with others coming from Austria, Amsterdam and Paris. The Earl Gross family of Leesburg (Mr. Gross is currently a patient at the Orn nursing home in Our Town) received a letter recently that informed them their family name was recorded with a coat-of-arms in ancient heraldic archives more than seven centuries ago. The name, they learned, is very old and distinguished. For those of you who do not attend the Christian church in Our Town but enjoy the Gospel singing of the Good Twins we are happy to inform you they will be in Milford next Wednesday for a one-night concert.

Burrrrrrrrrr I made the mistake of turning the radio on today (Monday) on my way over to The Pierceton Press office. With the wind factor the 20 degree temperatures shown on the Thermometers of the communities in the area was lowered to a minus six degrees. It*s a wonder I made it back to Milford without freezing!

TO & THE EDITOR

A Letter To Senator Bayh

Dear Birch: A number of us who live or do business in northern Indiana are concerned with the fate of the Baltimore and Ohio passenger train service in our area in the pending changeover to the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, due to take effect May 1. This service is tHe only passenger train service remaining in Garrett, Syracuse, and Lapaz. The new National Railroad Passenger Corporation is under strong pressure to reroute the Washington-Chicago service (which is part of the basic service) from its current Cumberland - Pittsburgh - AkronGarrett route, to one of the former Penn Central lines — via Pittsburgh. Cleveland and Elkhart, or Pittsburgh and Fort Wayne. Neither of the Penn Central routes has supported Washington-Chicago service in recent years. On the other hand, the B & O route has supported this service for many decades, and the Capitol Limited trains now running on this route are among the very few in the nation that have never been the subject of a discontinuance petition. The net effect would be to put all of north-central Indiana’s train service “eggs” in one basket, since the PC routes via Fort Wayne or Elkhart already stand to participate in the New York-Chicago service. The new National Railroad Passenger Corporation could service the most travelers, at the least disruption of current travel patterns, by keeping the Washington-Chicago service on

its current successful routing. I am also getting in touch with House members representing areas involved with this service and am urging them to write to Railpax at 955 L'Enfant Plaza. S.W., Washington, D.C., 20024, in favor of keeping this B & O route. A stand in favor of the B & O routing for this segment of the service will not adversely affect railroad employment. Indeed, if all passenger traffic west of Pittsburgh should be diverted to the Penn Central lines, passenger employee jobs would be eliminated on the present B & O lines, in addition to the disruption of travel patterns to the traveling public in general. Also, the B & O lines are better maintained than the PC lines, because of the strong financial condition of the B & O-C & O companies. The stand which we are taking in this matter is opposite one taken by the National Association of Railroad Passengers and the Interstate Commerce Commission in its Railpax recommendations brief. We believe that both of these organizations tend to overlook the . “in between” places such as points in Indiana in an effort to serve only the end points, and without more widespread support, involving intermediate stations, the Railpax concept cannot succeed. We earnestly solicit your assistance in this matter. Sincerely, Wiley W. Spurgeon Jr. Executive Vice President. You can tally govern men by serving them. The rule is Without exception.
