taiziNjOj Olfjr Our comments in this column a week ago concerning our failure to get the forwarding address for former Wawasee high school coach Tom,Spear caused a little more commotion than we expected it to. We had telephone calls and had a number of people tell us they thought we were absolutely right in the matter. But postmaster Bushong can rest comfortably in this fact: We received two letters, one signed praising our stand, and the other unsigned stating Mr. Bushong did the correct thing. So, in this day and age, when everything appears to be based on feed-back from the public, postmaster Bushong and the editor of The M-J came out at a Callander Insurance All forms of personal and business insurance. 155 W.

draw — 50-50 — one for and one against. We were provoked in this particular instance, since we failed to see the reasoning behind the refusal to give us a simple forwarding address of a well respected former citizen to a home town, community newspaper. <> 1 On the other hand, however, we should balance this whole thing out by stating we have been receiving excellent service from the local post office and from the rural and city carriers, and we have told them this on many occasions. And they know we appreciate it. Case closed. Auto sales manager Jack Stump (Ford-Syracuse) is looking forward to a trip he has won to Honolulu.

The Richmond high school band, considered one of the best in the midwest, is practicing at the YMCA camp at Little Tippy near North Webster for its performance in the Rose Bowl Parade at Pasadena, Calif., come January 1. There will be five high school bands in the parade outside of those in the LA area, and Richmond is one of them. Their director is John Parshal. Remember last year when the Concord band was in the parade? Les Leman of Sunnyside,

Wash., and Dale Sprague of California, are using this column as a means of keeping in touch with one another. Now this from Les: “Thought I should let you know I read your newspaper from cover to cover, by acknowledging the very generous offer made by Dale Sprague. In my opinion the offer is mostly “Um Gala Gala.” However, if his beneficent offer will stand for another year, I will expect him to let me know before I renew my subscription.” “Lester C. Leman, 208 Riverside Dr., Sunnyside, Wash. 98944.” Question being asked us: With area daily newspapers cutting the number of pages they print due to a paper shortage, shouldn’t they cut the price of their paper? Our answer: That’s their problem. As for The M-J, our suppliers are not on strike, and long-range advance planning has given us an ample supply of newsprint currently on the floor.

Football is here. The Cubs and the Cards may blow the pennant to the Pirates but the 30 yard line football fan is ready for the kickoff. The magazines say we will be trailing the pack but games are won on the field by people and people who believe in their coach win more than the experts think. Our players believe in Lee Corso and that is worth points in every game. John Jordan could help our defense. He is a football player with capital F and if he teams with Barszilauskas and McQuire we should turn the ball over to the offense often. Some fans think of Corso as a combination riverboat gambler, Bobby Riggs, and P. T. Barnum but those who know him respect his rasor sharp mind and its capacity for details and hard work. He has gone over the Big Ten teams with an unprecedented zest and I am counting on him to spring some surprises. The freshman recruits are a good group with many all around athletes. They have letters in basketball, baseball, track and golf. One of them is the nephew of the Yancy on the pro golf tournament tour. He is a safety from Ocala. . Missing from the pre-season biographies is the J. C. prospect Larry Hutchinson. His grades didn’t meet Big Ten requirements and he is headed for the University of Las Vegas. One of the magazines lists a bunch of fine sophs. Quinn Buckner is listed as the best in the nation. No official word on whether or not he plays but I still think he will be in there at the beginning. He gets back from Europe about September 1. Others to watch include Trent Smock, who might be our best football player, Mike Eikenberry, Mark DiSalvo, Tom Buck, Donny Thomas, Joel Kirby, Rick Cyphers, Bobby Nelson, Bill Brusse and Jim Shuck. Greg Bigler wins juniors tournament Greg Bigler won top honors in the boys 14-18 tournament held at the Maxwelton golf course last week. Blake Hepler finished second and Jamie Lung was third. Ron Walters won the low net title with Jeff Auer placing second and Brian Slabaugh finishing third.

Zoning appeals board members are named

Five members were appointed to the board of zoning appeals at last night’s Syracuse town board meeting. The other five members will be appointed by the judge from recommendations made by the board. The board will have 10 members, five from the town and five from the township. The members from the town appointed and their terms of office are: Bill Coburn, two years; Bill Pipp, four years; Charles Miller, three years; Dee Stiver, one year; and Jim Tranter, three years. The five men recommended to the judge for appointment and their terms of office are: Maurice Crow, four years; Meyer Maidenburg, three years; Jim Kroh, four years; John Brewer, two years; and Roy Price, one year. The dumping of garbage at the south edge of town was brought to the attention of the board. This was supposed to have been taken care of two months ago but pictures shown to board members showed this had not been cleaned up. Marion “Doc” Miller will have the chief of police give the owners notice to clean up this area. Clerk-treasurer Betty Dust was given permission to invest money from the county tax distribution for the fire department cumulative fund in a six-month time deposit. She was also given permission to fill out the reports on the federal revenue sharing funds and advertise them. Town attorney Bruce Frey informed the board that a pretrial conference with the judge will be held Saturday morning on the suit filed by Liberty Homes to vacate alleys. After the conference a trial date will be set. ? A motion was made and passed to purchase a 1973 three-quarter ton pick-up truck at a cost of $3,164 from Cutter Chevrolet. A motion was also passed to have Forrest Plank repaint the town hall. The cost will be S4OO or $325 if the town furnishes the paint. Board member Charles Haffner read a letter received from the American Revolution Bicentennial Committee. He received permission to contact area businesses to form a local committee. The board has a number of names suggested for building commissioner. They will interview these men and have a recommendation ready by the first meeting in September. Board president Tom Prickett was asked to inquire if the Wawasee building trades class would have to pay for water and sewer hook-up to a house they plan to build in town. Ron Sharp, firmer board member, informed the board of a town ordinance stating hook-ups must be paid. Harry Rieddell, a lawyer from Marion and a Lake Wawasee property owner, asked the board to consider a district water and sewer system for the area. The district system would make the town eligible for more federal funds than they are now eligible for. The board will look into this to see if it is feasible. One member of the board was absent, Darrel Grisamer. The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. Problems aired at board of zoning appeals meeting No major decisions were forthcoming when the Syracuse board of zoning appeals met Monday night at the town hall. The board *-—t

did not have a quorum. The meeting was, however, fruitful due to the fact members decided it was a good night to “air out problems.” Many informal discussions were held on various subjects being considered by the plan commission and the board of zoning appeals. The meeting was opened only long enough to set a date at which time a variance may be considered for Ed and Ann McCarty. The new meeting date is September 6. At that time the board will consider the variance for the construction of a three-car garage and second story single family apartment on lot eight in Sunset Heach addition, ammended, Lake Wawasee. Thomas Lemon, Warsaw attorney, was present to represent the McCartys and had requested the new meeting date be set. Present at Monday’s meeting were Joseph Hughes, president; William Pipp and William Coburn. Board member Charles Miller was not present and a letter of resignation was read from secretary Donald Niles. Niles’ letter stated the board was taking up too much of his time. Since town board president Thomas Prickett was present at Monday’s meeting and the town board was meeting on Tuesday much time was given to naming persons who could be appointed to the board of zoning appeals. It is important the board be up to its full number prior to the September 6 meeting. The board of zoning appeals was originally set up for six members. Cobum said he had a letter from judge Gene B. Lee authorizing the board be increased to 10. He suggested 10 persons be seated on the board. Collier Variance The Collier variance which brought heated discussions on the August 14 meeting was discussed at Monday’s meeting. Collier and several interested persons were present at Monday’s session. Cobum showed those present a map which placed all of the land on the left side of state road 13 in “B” which is residential and requires only 5,000 square feet of land pr unit. Since Collier’s land is on the left side of the highway and he has 14,386.6 square feet on which he wants to build the two duplexes it was the general feeling of the board there was no need for a variance. Collier satisfied some of his objectors by showing plans for the duplexes with both front and back yard. Board of zoning appeals members present said the perculation test which was a main point of the August 14 meeting was another matter and while it was important it did not concern the appeals board as far as a variance was concerned.

Joene Wort, 17, Huntertown, became Kosciusko county’s 21st traffic victim when she died early Tuesday morning from injuries suffered in a two-car accident near Waubee Lake Sunday as5 12 million — (continued from page 1) stockholder in Murphy Medical Center, Mrs. June Baumgarten, and Murphy Medical Center administrator Robert Berryman. The counter claim has been filed by the Indianapolis law firm of Ice, Miller, Donadio and Ryan, and the Warsaw legal counsel for KCH, the firm of Raisor, Harris, Garrard and Lemon. Claims Trade Restraint The counter claim is set out in six paragraphs and claims a restraint of trade and commerce in order to prevent fair competition, as provided by Indiana law. In December 1971 Murphy Medical Center filed a suit for $13.5 million against several Warsaw doctors who had purchased land for a new hospital facility, and several members of the KCH board of directors,' claiming damages and seeking an injunction against the plan to construct a new 113-bed hospital. Last week KCH won a nod from the Indiana board of health and received a “go ahead” with its plans for a new hospital facility.
