Successful Fair At Goshen

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors, 4-H clubs and adult organizations. I wish to express our appreciation for the fine coverage given our fair and the pre-fair events leading up to our “Big Week.” With attendance reaching almost the 200,000 mark this year

Now Is The Time For Action

Dear Editor: This Thursday night the Republican organization has scheduled a meeting of Syracuse voters to select a ticket for the town board and cleric-treasurer. Last year the town board spent over $340,000. Very few people even spend that much in a lifetime and in spite of the statement of the present appointed clerk-treasurer that almost “anyone” can make a good member of the board, I say that it takes the best citizens (in business, community planning, dedication and a willingness to - study the problems) to make for

we are well aware, no matter how well planned, it was through your efforts that the public was informed and invited to be with us. Thank you for a job well done. (Mrs.) Lola K. Yoder President 1971 Elkhart Co. 4-H Fair Board

a successful board and clerktreasurer. The failure of the present board and “organization” to create any enthusiasm for the town meeting is an indication that the citizens have no confidence in the socalled leadership. If the “platform committee” could be induced to run for the town board, the problem would be solved, and a first class board would be elected. Such is not the case. The State Board of Accounts report shows that there was failure to tell the truth and also breaking of Indiana law during the past eight years. I did not

write this report and I told only a small part of it. No one has denied the report. If the Democrats come up with a real good ticket, it may be difficult for the Republicans to get anyone to run. Public apathy created this problem — and it appears to be with us yet. The last real Republican caucus was held in the old grade school building with about 250 people present with Dr. Fred Gark in charge, when the public got tired of a board president who refused to do anything about fire protection. Ray Frevert, Ronald Kramer and George Glass were nominated for board members. They were elected and served with distinction. Mr. Glass resigned and the board named a Democrat, Joe Bushong, to fill his place who was one of the best, most conscientious, ever to serve the town. If the people refuse to do anything, and I do not know' of anything in the wind — then Mr. Sharp, and Mr. Insley and Mrs. Bates will have something in mind for the caucus. They will have their friends at the meeting. The town has near three million dollars in property — the Water Company, the Sewage Department. and the property and business of the civil town itself. The community needs the best brains and efforts available. Barton Cox The Tom Merritt family of Pompano Beach. Fla., arrived Saturday night for a visit with his mother. Mrs. Tom Merritt of Syracuse.
