has defined’ FREEDOM very poorly, and I hate to say this but she sounds like she is trying to stir-up trouble in a free Natiop. Os course she is taking advantage of our precious right to speak what we think, however her line of thinking is way off base. If people (young and old) like Mr. Hess, Wawasee Property Owners Association, The Syracuse Town Fathers. The Chamber of Commerce, The Turkey Creek Conservation Club and the The Department of Natural Resources did not take an active part and try and do something about our dying lake and the developers who are literally killing it - where would this lady and her family swim, fish and have their family recreation. If we continue to build around the shore line of Lake Wawasee the lake will die and it does not take much education to know there has to be a stopping point for the benefit of both those who enjoy the lake and those who profit by the people who come. After reading Mr. Hess’ article I believe he has been taught\a basic human concept of concern for other people and future generations. Trying to assure there is going to be an opportunity in future for others to enjoy the same quality of freedom we have come to take for granted. Former Lake Resident

Until such inspection and repair, I. must consider the electrical system potentially hazardous.” In addition a report was prepared by the of the fire marshaFon June 6. A copy was sent to Hamsher.

'Project 55' to reduce fatalities In the never ending battle to reduce the number of traffic fatalities in Indiana. State Police Superintendent John T. Shettle has announced the reinstatement of “Project 55.” This federally funded program is designed to supply additional troopers to enforce the 55 mph speed limit and at the same time reduce the highway fatalities. Superintendent Shettle stated that Project 55 was used very successfully last year in reducing interstate fatalities, and he believes that equal success will be obtained this year when it is applied to all roads in Indiana, rather than limited to Interstates. Project 55 is a federally funded program that will pay troopers their normal rate of pay for working their normal days off and vacation days. Shettle states that Project 55 is a coordinated effort from all troopers throughout the state, and in addition to the patrol cars; VASCAR. radar, and air patrol will be utilized to enforce the speed limit and spot other traffic hazards. Shettle pointed out that statistically Indiana ranks as the eighth worst state as far as compliance with the 55 mph limit. This was one reason that both Governor Bowen and Superintendent Shettle have directed all troopers to strictly enforce the speed limit. Another argument in favor of strict speed enforcement is the possibility of losing Federal funds for road improvement and new road construction. Since the 55 mph limit is a Federal law, any state not complying with the law may have funds withdrawn for road improvement.
