Shearer Facte ... by Carl Shearer It's a fact ... that the Resurrection of Christ is the superstructure on which the Christian faith is reared Paul said, in I Cor. 15. "If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain and your faith is vain (empty).’’ The resurrection of Christ was proven by the empty tomb, the appearances at least 11 recorded times to audiences from 1 to mere than 500. and the eye-witness testimony of the Apostles who willingly died preaching the Resurrection. Since His resurrection is a fact, we must deal with Christ's words about eternity. Life eternal through accepting Him — eternal death if we reject Him. One day during the French revolution. a skeptic remarked to a Christian. “The Christian religion, what is it? It would be easy to start a religion like that.” Oh. yes.’’ replied the Christian, “one would only have to get crucified and rise again the 3rd day . ” We invite you to attend the Milford Christian church and learn to know this Risen Chnst.
industry in the /area burning without an enclosure The newly formed Lakeland V.F.W., under commander Richard A.

A new and convenient service is being made available at the Syracuse Public Library sor 1 residents of the town and township, that of a home delivery’ | service to persons in poor health, shut-ins or those unable to climb the stairs. Interested parties need only contact the library for their needs. The North Webster volunteer fire department and Ladies' Auxiliary can claim the profits for their hard earned efforts in obtaining the Harlem Globetrotters for their recent appearance here. Bob and Fran Huff of the Maryann admit to claiming a little for their quick preparation of food for the entire bus load, including entertainers and team opponents, when the bus surprisingly pulled into their place of business prior to their public appearance. Seems a building boom has hit the area and the latest to be seen are many new Kinder homes in the Ward addition north of Syracuse on the Huntington road, the second phase going up at the Bay Point Condominium at Lake Wawasee and 12 units in progress by Ben Bunt.

Mrs. Robert Deahl of Syracuse will be displaying some of her talent in painting at the Goshen Public Library during the month of April. Her Exhibition will include both water colors and oils. Rev. Ralph Karstedt, pastor of the Milford United Methodist church, is a man of high good humor who never fails to make fun of himself. A blind man himself, he has a whole gamut of jokes about blind people. He’ll be MC for the B & PW ’’Showboat” at the WHS auditorium Friday evening. .Asked how he’s going to handle the assignment, he shrugged. “Beats me. It’s just a simple case of the blind leading the blind.” Look for a school superintendent in the area to retire July 1. In spite of what some of his close friends have said, we’ve learned on good source that
retiring WHS coach Vern Zurcher did not send Christmas cards to some referees in braille. Mrs. J. B.

Lee Schacht’s new liquor store on South Huntington street is progressing nicely. Jake Kern tit wno is owneroperator of the Wawasee Bowl with his wife Susie, sustained a serious right hand injury at 7:30 pm. last night. He reached down to “unstick” a ball in the return rack on lane 10 when another ball came down the chute. His hand was between the two balls when they came together with a deadening thud. He was quickly back in the Bowl with his hand in an ice pack. An unknown amount of injury was done to the middle and ring fingers of his right hand. Members of the Kosciusko County Tavern Owners’ Association have held a number of meetings, the last of which was last Thursday night, to resolve the differences of its members who hold regular three-way alcoholic beverage licenses and those who hold club licenses. At the meeting last week 20 were present, including directors of Rozella Ford course at Warsaw and a captain and lieutenant of the excise department, state of Indiana. Regular 3-way licensees, who pay about SI,OOO for a license to serve the public, maintain club licensees, who pay about $250 for a license, have traditionally been serving the public. The former want this practice stopped. The rubarb caine about when Maxwelton built a new club house and advertised for the public’s business. Then. South Shore remodeled and is going after its share of the golf, food and bar business. If they can make it stick, golf clubs cannot serve alcoholic beverages to anyone except its members or holders of social memberships The law reads a member can take a guest into a club only four times a year. The local golf clubs have depended heavily on infrequent golfers who only pay greens fees. The bar and food service has been open to these week enders previously. There’s a chance all this win? change now. It really depends on how hard the regular 3-way licensees care to pursue the issue. Mrs. Betty Barrett. Mrs. Ruth Rothen berger and Mrs. Rhoda Mock, all of the North Webster area, called at the funeral home at Warsaw last week to view the late Mrs. Marsha Pearson, a WCTU worker and county president.
Kosciusko Representatives Disagree— General Assembly To Vote On Compromise Tax Bill Today
Members of the Indiana General Assembly were scheduled to reconvene this morning (Wednesday) at Indianapolis following a recess that began at midnight Friday. Heading the agenda this morning was a vote on a compromise tax bill that is destined to give Indiana taxpayers some property tax relief. Before adjournment Friday the Senate voted 26 to 22 on a tax bill that differed to some extent from the bill passed by the House earlier. The House and Senate bill went to a conference committee, and the amended bill is the one expected to be on the desks of state senators and representatives this morning. Needed Demo Help Both the House and Senate plans call for increasing the individual income tax rate from 2 to 3 per cent, and the corporate net income tax rate from. 2 to 5 per cent and hiking cigarette and alcoholic beverage taxes. A major difference is that the Senate plan calls for increasing the sales tax only 1 cent — from 2 to 3 cents on a $1 purchase — while the House plan provides for a 2-cent increase. In the Senate Republicans didn’t have enough votes to get their bill passed, but had to take along seven Democratic senators to get the job done. Both houses envision in their bills a move to ease the burden on Indiana property taxpayers. The idea is to bring the state share of local school costs up to about 77 per cent. The figure is now around 39 per cent. Included in this are tight new controls on school budgets. A major portion of the new revenue in the Senate bill would be to roll back the fall property tax installment by 20 per cent. Governor’s Veto Indiana Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb has said all along he would veto any tax increases passed by the legislature. He has called the new bills passed by the House and Senate “increases”, and the specter of his veto looms heavily over any compromise bril the legislators might pass today. Kosciusko county’s represenatives — John F. Augs'tburger in the Senate and Thames Mauzy in the House — have widely differing points of view on what sort of tax bill should be

passed into law. Both men made comments on Saturday morning, following the Friday midnight adjournment. Senator Augsburger said, “I might be considered a ’spender’, but I think we have to have adequate revenue to run the state government and provide the necessary services for the state.” He favored the Senate bill, stating it was about the best they could do. “And then it took seven Democratic votes to get the bill passed,” Senator Augsburger added. He said the Governor’s veto of the compromise tax bill is a real possibility. State representative Thames Mauzy, also contacted on Saturday morning at Indianapolis. said he was against the House tax bill. Rep. Mauzy is a longtime personal friend of Governor W’hitcomb’s and a strong supporter of the Govejv nor’s public policy of holding line on any additional taxation in the state. Rep. Mauzy indicated he would vote against the new compromise tax bill today, stating “somebody has to stand up and say ‘NO’ to this constant increase in governmental spending.” { Those of the news media who cover the daily sessions of the General Assembly say the new compromise tax bill is due for an almost certain veto by Governor Whitcomb. Wednesday will be the 56th day of the current session out of the scheduled 61 days, giving the Assembly plenty of time after another recess to come back and determine whether it would override Whitcomb’s vetoes. Gutman Leadership The Senate bill is the product of Senate majority leader Philip E. Gutman of Fort Wayne. He has found himself opposing Governor Whitcomb on tax theory, stating the past two years (of Governor Whitcomb’s administration) has given Indiana little to be proud of. He said the Whitcomb administration had left Indiana in a state of “desrepair”. Senator Gutman has emerged from the Senate side of the assembly as the “strong man”. It was through his efforts that seven Democrats went along with his tax bill.
