A report to you the taxpayers on some of the Legislative workings and happenings at Indianapolis, by county recorder E. Mazie Alexander, legislative chairman while in attendance on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 2 and 3. Tuesday was spent in county and township committee meetings and then in legislature during the afternoon session. A number of the bills have passed through committee and others are still being passed out of committee daily. One big factor is this, we do have a faction working trying their utmost to reorganize our tow-nship and county government. This faction knows nothing but cities and towns. The big question what will they do with US?? They are really gaining and the one bill is SB 89. has passed the Senate and is in the House committee now waiting, and hopoing to get it out of House committee and railroad through, but we have certain people watching the moves each day in these committee meetings.

ASCS Attacks Pollution A new program entitled Rural Environmental Assistance Program has been started by ASCS, according to Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko county committee. The REAP program, which replaces the old agricultural conservation program will emphasize antipollution efforts in rural areas throughout the county, according to the chairman. The oldest and largest pollution problem is soil stabilization. Mr. Horn said. Hundreds of millions of tax dollars each year are spent by | national. state and local governments in dredging streams and rivers and in filtering and reclaiming polluted water. These efforts are largely due to loosened top soil that decides to “go to town.” REAP is designed to reduce these costs and improve the environment in other ways. The old ACP program which contributed to a substantial reduction in soil erosion has now been redirected specifically to reduce pollution which affects communities. One of these, of course, is animal waste. Several practices will be offered with cost-sharing for individual farmers or groups of farmers who can effectively help cure these local problems. Signup is expected to begin March 8 at the Kosciusko county ASCS Office located at 105 East Main street in Warsaw. Cpl. Charles G. Pressler On Leave Cpl. Charles G.
