MEET BANGLADESH PRESIDENT — Mail-Journal co-publishers Mr. and Mrs. Arch Baumgartner of Milford are shown here just right of center with a group of American journalists in a photo taken following a press conference with Bangladesh President Ziaur Rahman. The leader of the poor and overpopulated country was found to be impressive and dynamic. His state, the size of VV isconsin, has a population of 85 million. He told the group his government is providing a two-prong thrust; family planning and to increase food production.

Lahore, Pakistan, proves a city of ambivalence

Times which we had slipped under our door each morning, with only a few photos, little advertising, and printed by letterpress. Newsprint is $460 per ton, coming from China primarily, as compared with our price of $320 per ton. Television is not widespread, but we did drop into a hotel shop yesterday morning to watch part of the Ali-Spinks fight in Las Vegas. 1 watched rounds 3,4 and 5 before the call went out that the bus was pulling out. It was 8:30 am. here in Rawalpindi. Ali, incidentally, is big in Pakistan inasmuch as he has embraced the Muslim religion. He is coming to Bangladesh in the near future where he is also hailed as a hero. With 20 per cent literacy, it is really remarkable that the country has such good newspapers and as good a circulation as they have. We were told relations with Bangladesh are “looking up,’’ that diplomatic relations'between the two countries have been established. We were told here, as in India, that the transistor has brought the radio to this part of the world and opened up a wide communications with most people of Pakistan. Scores U.S. Diplomacy The story we heard in our next interview was less placid, with Mr. Agha Shahi, Pakistan Minister of Foreign Affairs, lacing America’s foreign policy toward this country, and the American press for “not reporting the Pakistan story.’’ His country’s minister to the United Nations in 1968, Mr. Shahi said he had visited Washington, New York, Denver and Minneapolis, and knew our country well. He said our two countries had been friends and allies, but that this relationship has been strained recently. We were signatories in the SEATO Treaty of $955 and later in the Central Treaty Organization. He said President Johnson did not like it when Pakistan had friendly relations with China, while China was aiding the North Vietnamese. u e then noted that Pakistan arranged the Kissinger visit to China, a prelude to President Nixon’s visit there. When Pakistan purchased a re-processing plant from France, to be completed in 1981, it further strained relations. He noted that Pakistan is more concerned with nuclear proliferation than the U.S. and said neighboring India has exploded a nuclear bomb. “America has said nothing about this, but doesn’t want Pakistan to have the bomb,” was his reply. He said the plant will be under international inspection and every

I PHOTOGRAPHY IS ... I I ACTION! I When it comes to capturing the action on film, there's nothI ing quite like an up-to-date Super 8 movie camera. Indoors or outdoors, bright light or low light, most modern Super 8 cameras will record those memories automatically. Home movies are better and simpler than ever. Camera Mart has excellent values on the better quality Bell and Howell and Kodak Super 8 cameras. We also have a couple of demo sound cameras at greatly reduced prices. ff.

ounce of uranium will be accounted for. Mr. Shahi said Henry Kissinger told him that according to the Symington Amendment sanctions would be used against any nation with a re-processing plant. He said his country wants sovereign equality, adding that the U.S. position was not acceptable. He hit the U.S. political process of elections every four years, stating we have too much change in our foreign policy. “We can never be sure where we stand with the United States, with foreign policy changes and changing administrations in Washington,” he said. He said his country supports a Palestine state, knowing it’s unpopular in the U.S. He said, “We have not applauded Anwar Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem.” He called the Palestine stand just, adding they should have a state on the West Bank and Gaza. Mr. Shahi also added that Pakistan will not take nearly 300,000 Pakistan patriots from the Bangladesh war, adding, “We have taken more than our share of refugees already.” Mr. Shahi did not let the visiting journalists off easily, either. He scored them for not telling the full Pakistan story in the UJS. press. The meeting with the minister proved the least welcome of any in our stay in Pakistan, and brought some journalists to the point of an ungracious encounter to support their country and their profession. Meet With Ambassador Our final meeting of the morning was with the U.S. Ambassador in the U.S. Embassy — what we considered “friendly territory.” Ambassador Arthur W. Hummel, Jr., bom in China and escaped from a Japanese prison camp, is a real China expert, and had previously served in Burma and elsewhere in the Asiatic sphere. He said the U.S. has six objectives in Pakistan: 1. To promote peace in this area. 2. Wants this country free of domination from any foreign power. 3. Assist in humanitarian and developmental ways, such as rural health, rural electrification, elementary education and agricultural development. 4. Try to limit arms and nuclear proliferation. To arrange for the sale of arms —for cash. He called the purchase of the nuclear re-processing plant our only real difference. 5. To promote human rights in this area, and ° 6. Seek drug controls. The Ambassador’s aide, Peter Constable, briefed our group

further, stating Pakistan is seeking outside support in its search for security against India. Pakistan workers abroad are sending back over SBOO million per year — an important factor in its balance of payments. He spoke of the large cultural and linguistic differences in Pakistan with its large economy gap. Then he spoke about the military government, stating he felt the Chief Marshal Law

Seeks help — (Continued from page 1) More Problems Other problems were discussed concerning the plant. The first dealt with the premier lift station which is now pumping daily. Nine said they are having some inflow problems. He also questioned Lessig on payment for work done by Bradberry Brothers, Inc., on the station. Nine said Bradberry worked on the station but didn’t finish the job. He said the contractor submitted claims totaling over SII,OOO which were paid. But, since Bradberry didn’t want to wait for the six to eight weeks it takes for a claim to go through, he quit the job. Nine was wondering if Bradberry was paid for the total project, while only working on a portion of it. Lessig said he believes Bradberry was only paid for the work done. Total money for the project should amount to over $25,000. Bradberry will also be coming later this spring to finish work on sewer lines. Another problem at the plant is the bacteria filter has been completely killed due to chlorine. Lessig said the bacteria will build up in the filter as the weather warms up. Dorothy Barango, visitor, wanted to know if residents will have to pay more on their water bill during the winter when they have to leave a stream of water run so it won’t freeze. An average water consumption rate per month will be figured and this amount will be billed. Any iron in the water should also be flushed out when the new system is hooked-on.

Administrator, General Hummad Zia-ul-Haq, is sincere in his plans to return the government to civil authority when there is a stabilization. Our afternoon was taken up with our impressive press conference with CMLA, followed by a splendid protocol dinner at the Foreign Office Banquet Hall with Mr. Zahur Azar, Minister of Information and Broadcasting, as our host.

Bids were opened for garbage pick-up in the town. These include: Lakeland Sanitation Service—residential, $13,203 and commercial, $7,020 totaling $20,223; Stuckman’s Tri-Lake Sanitation — residential, $21,190 and commercial, $4,732 totaling $25,922; and Renner Sanitation Service — total of $19,278. Renner held the contract until the company was sold two months ago. Lakeland then took over and purchased all of Renner’s containers. Mrs. Renner, who was present at the meeting, said she has sold her business to a Gordon Yeager who is keeping her name and trucks. Yeager is a former driver with Renner. It was decided to take the bids under consideration since only SIB,OOO was budgeted for this service. Lakeland will continue to pick-up garbage another month under the old rate. The new contract for pick-up will read May 1, 1978 to May 1, 1979, so the board won’t have to advertise for new bids. Several measures on how money can be found to pay for the service were discussed. One was for the town to pay for the first half cubic yard of trash instead of the present one for commercial users. Mrs. Betty Dust, clerk treasurer, also said some appropriations could possibly be found in other funds. The board will make its decision at the next meeting April 18. Dog Pick-Up The dog pick-up problem was discussed. The town is presently operating on its own since it decided against paying a fee to the Kosciusko County Humane Commission. Mrs. Dust said several meetings have been held

with the commission to try and resolve the issue. Another meeting is scheduled for April 3 at 2 p.m. in Warsaw. The commission's service ended March 16. The possibility of getting a town dog tax was brought up. Mrs. Dust said this could be done, but she felt stricter charges should be levied against offenders of the town’s dog ordinance. She said, “The problem is not with people who take care of their dogs; it’s the people who want dogs and who can’t take care of them.” Town Attorney Robert Reed will check into charging larger amounts of money to offenders each time a dog is picked up. Town Marshal Ron Robinson added he will be enforcing the dog ordinance. Offenders will face court charges if a dog is picked up more than three times. The dam control board was dissolved by the board. Darrel Grisamer, board member, said he opened the dam to nine and then 12 inches early in March because of snow thawing. At 6 a.m. Tuesday, he closed it to three inches because he discovered flooding in Milford. He said he checked on it again Tuesday night before the meeting and found someone had opened it to eight inches and dated the log March 22. He said, “I think the situation on the dam should be reviewed by the board and something done.” He said in an emergency situation, board members should be able to open or close the dam. He added that he is not only concerned with Syracuse and Wawasee Lakes but on the other side of the dam as well. The board will now become the dam control board and all dam action should be brought before it. Mrs. Dust reported the town’s insurance agent contacted her saying it could not cover the police or fire departments for workmen’s compensation which is needed under the law. Tranter said it is the agent’s job to find a company which will write what the town wants. Tranter and Robinson will contact the agent concerning the board’s wishes. Blanche Sloan asked if anything could be done concerning the parking and noise from trucks on Baltimore Street. Reed said there is obviously commercial use in a residential area and he can help her out. Police reported the parking meters are being fixed and will bestarting no later than April 1. A total of $250 was authorized for police clothing. High gas bills for the new town hall were reviewed. One claim totaled $1,414.03. Grisamer, Tranter and Robinson will see if there are any ways energy can be saved in the building. Several windows are knocked out and there are other open areas where heat is being let out. A request from the Knights of Columbus, Syracuse, concerning what is needed for a tootsie roll solicitation was discussed. No permit is needed since the organization is local, but Robinson said he would prefer if the group would contact him on its plans ahead of time. The solicitation, with all funds going to the Cardinal Center in Warsaw, will be done April 7 and 8 near Augsburger’s, Thornburg’s and at the intersection of SR 13 and Main Street. A salary ordinance and gas contract ordinance were approved. A S6O maintenance agreement for the new town mailing machine was turned down. The next meeting is April 18. Truck damaged A truck driven by Max A. Allen, 19, r 1 Leesburg, was involved in an accident at 9:40 p.m., Thursday, March 16, on CR 550 N, one mile southeast of Leesburg, which caused SSOO damage to the truck. County Police Captain Thomas Kitch reported that the snow and ice covered road contributed to the accident. Fire at Dewart Lake on Sunday afternoon A fire caused an estimated S2OO in damages to the living room of the David Rankin home at Dewart Lake last Sunday afternoon. Members of the Milford Fire Department extinguished the blaze which was caused by the fireplace. THE MAIL-JOURNAL Published by The Mail-Journal every Wednesday and entered as Second.

First Charter Insurance Agency MOVING TO A DIFFERENT STATE? ■r If you are among the 6 million people who will be moving to another state this year I suggest you check out your insurance coverage BEFORE you go. Every state has its own way of doing things. This difference could cost you money if you're not careful. If you own a homeowners policy, for example, you will retain a certain amount of protection on your old house and personal property for a short period after you move. But to protect yourself fully against a possible loss (which is why you bought it in the first place) it's best to talk with your agent about switching coverage before you leave. Take a careful look at your auto insurance. Is your present insurance company licensed in the new state you will be moving to? Also, states vary in their required coverage in both amounts and types of coverage. Your present coverage may be inadequate. **************** This Information Has Been Brought ..
