Pols 'Smart' — (Continued From Page 1) diana. “Mr. Anglemyer has had a varied and successful business career and is very well qualified to administer the office in a proper and efficient manner. He is well liked and respected in our community and we are certain that his appointment would be received with general approval.” Acted On His Own Trustee Shewmon told The Mail-Journal early this week that the county assessor acted on his own in making the appointment of Harry VanHemert to the local post. Trustee Shewmon said neither he nor his advisory board, nor any of the six Republican township precinct committeemen had been consulted in the matter. He said, furthermore, the county Republican chairman, Ed Pratt of Warsaw, had not been consulted. A telephone call to Mr. Pratt confirmed this fact. The Missing Letter A letter had been prepared for the signatures of the six Turkey Creek township Republican committeemen, recommending Hubert Anglemyer for the assessor’s post, but it “was mysteriously tom up.” according to trustee Shewmon, and never reached Mr. Zimmer’s'desk. The missing letter was signed by Jack Vanderford, Lamar Stoops, Max McCormick and Robert Insley, precinct committeemen. and was left with the dispatcher at the Syracuse fire station for the signatures of Ronald Sharp and Bill Peters, who were not present at a meeting of the precinct committeemen last Thursday. The letter was later found torn to shreds in the dispatcher's wastepaper basket. No one admits to any knowledge as to how the letter was tom up. In' a conversation with trustee Shewmon, he pointed out that at no time did Mr. Anglemyer seek the job as Turkey Creek township assessor, but had said he would accept it as a public service to the community. Mr. Anglemyer is retired as former president of the Syracuse Rubber Company. To Fund Post The county council will meet June 19th in regular session to consider funding the new post, while it is up to the county commissioners to provide quarters for the new assessor. There is no indication at the time that the county council will not favorably act upon the request. Mr. Shewmon said this week there is not enough room in the trustee’s office for another man and that the commissioners would have to seek other quarters for the new appointment. In his letter to the commissioners last week, assessor Zimmer wrote: “On the basis of qualifications. I believe him (Mr. VanHemert) to be the best qualified citizen of this township. He is of the same political faith of the trustee that is being replaced. He has had much experience gained from the general re-appraisement program that was held in that township in 1969. It is my desire to secure the best valuation without personal conflict and to uphold the standard of assessing that Mr. VanHemert proved during the re-appraisement program. He is well qualified by his knowledge of the area in this township." On May 15, in meeting with the county council, Mr. Zimmer recommended the council provide a salary of $550 per month or $6,600 annually for the new job, or $3,850 for the remaining period of this year. He also suggested a salary of $325 per month or $3,900 annually for a first deputy assessor, with a salary of $2,250 for the remainder of the year. He also asked S9OO for extra help at the rate of sls per day for 60 days, and that the council approve SSO for office supplies and said desks and chairs could be obtained from stock in the court house at Warsaw. LAKELAND LOCAL Mrs. Clinton Gilbert, Miss Sharon Gilbert and Miss Linda Simon, all of Syracuse, and Mrs Larry Ryman and Tammy of Milford, attended a baby shower Saturday night at Kimmell for Mrs. Mike Halsey.

Lions Hear Alva V. Stout Milford Lions welcomed back to the community former Milford _ high school principal Alva V. Stout of West Palm Beach, Fla., and had him as guest speaker at their Monday night meeting. Mr. Stout made a hunting trip with two other men into the Canadian Rockies in 1948 and had some excellent color slides to chronicle the unusual safari. A particular slide he was proud of showed the huge bull moose he shot. “It took four shots to bring him down,” Stout recalled. The trio also bagged a kodiak bear, and other smaller game including several carabu. An interesting aside was the group’s discovery of the head of the national health service whose small plane had crashed in the Canadian wilds. When the group found the Washington official, he was almost dead, the speaker recalled, but they were able to nurse him back to health and he returned to Washington. Mr. Stout's talk was most interesting. Students Turn Out A number of persons were guests at the meeting, many of them former students when Mr. Stout was principal at Milford.

Mr. VanHemert was

Don't Need More Gun Laws

Dear Editor: Whenever we have an unfortunate incident such as the shooting of Governor Wallace, we immediately have a rash of statements from the anti-gun advocates for the passing of stringent laws on gun ownership. They are mostly from people who hate guns for one reason or another and they use these incidents as fuel to give added Bible School At Apostolic Christian Vacation Bible school will be held at the Apostolic Christian church of Milford next week. It will be held from 7:30 until 9 p.m. each evening, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday — June 12, 13, 15 and 16. There will be classes for children from kindergarten through the eighth grade. There will also be a program for the adults in the assembly room each evening. Anyone who wishes may attend. Publication Gives Tips On Glads LAFAYETTE — One of the most handsome garden flowers — and certainly popular in flower arrangements for home decoration — is the gladiolus. Season for “glads” is anytime from June to mid-October. Individual plants usually flower from 10 to 14 days. Gladiolus comes in a greater choice of colors and hues than any other cut flower. And they blend beautifully with other cut flowers that are in bloom at the same time. You can plant “glads” anytime from April until July. If you’re a “glad" lova and would like more information about varieties, preparing the flower bed, planting, care, etc., ask for cooperative extension service publication HO-58, “Glads for the Home Garden," at your county extension office. Single copies of this 10-page publication are free to Indiana residents

impetus to their pet project, the passing of more laws against gun ownership, with an ultimate goal of outlawing all guns without exception. The act of taking a life is born in the heart of the individual committing the act, not in the gun, knife, hammer, icepick, screwdriver, ball bat, pipe, or whatever other object is used. We have all the laws we need to control the use of guns, with very few exceptions. What we need is a strict enforcement of these laws, against those who misuse them in acts of violence, in the performance of a crime, etc. On the whole our law enforcement agencies are doing a good job but too'many of our courts have been lax in enforcing these laws and laws against other acts of crime as well. Why isn’t more emphasis placed on enforcing the laws we have instead of asking for more laws? Is it because those who are asking for more laws are more interested in outlawing all guns than they are in punishing those who misuse guns? My understanding is that England has a court system that is swift and just, maybe we should investigate. I resent someone trying to take my guns away from me because of a crime committed by someone else, the same as I would object to someone taking my car from me because so many are killed in auto accidents. I hope it never happens to me, but I have much more chance of being injured, or injuring someone, with my car than I have of injuring or killing someone with a gun, and so have you.
