Ice still weak Ice on area lakes is one-foot to 17 inches thick. Dave Anderson, conservation officer, cautions it is still weak in some spots. He said, “Basically, it is safe.” He added, however, “Don’t be out driving vehicles unless you know how thick it is to support you. We haven’t had cold enough.” Anderson said a number of things can cause the ice to weaken. A few of these include: underwater springs, drains coming into the lake, Wind and pressure spots where the ice pops up. A few open spots have been reported on Lake Wawasee. He said all persons should test the ice before going on to the lakes. This includes ice fishermen, snowmobilers and ice skaters.

In other matters, an ordinance was adopted preventing the parking on the south side of Boston Street from McConnell Ditch to SR 13. The street, police and fire departments felt parking on both sides of the street was a hazard. The board is also considering preventing parking on the south side from McConnell Ditch to Main Street on Boston Street. Any residents objecting to this should voice their opinions at the next meeting. Robert Reed, town attorney, will draw up a new ordinance. Commends Town Roy Davis, street and water department, commended the
town for its cooperation during snow removal. The department worked 83 and one-half hours clearing off the streets this past week Davis is also still waiting on bid prices to lay sewer lines on Hillside Drive.

The board had met with Jim Dickson of the Tri-State Fire Company in November and looked over the “Plain Jane" truck. The letter read: “We, the members of the Syracuse Fire Department, believe it is in the best interest of the residents and taxpayers of the Town of Syracuse to consider tire purchase of a new fire pumper comparable to our existing equipment. We also believe that consideration for purchasing the so called “Plain Jane” or any other similar front mounted pumper should be discarded The department included a list of specifications for the truck, including a diesel engine. Kenny Johnson, fire chief, commented, “We are looking for the most feasible piece of equipment to best serve the town.” He added the department is not trying to

spend more of the town’s money. The board will take the specifications under advisement. Grisamer said, “We still have a lot of homework to do.” FoodPac Johnson also had a request from Corky Wong, EMS captain, concerning the purchase of $125 worth of pre-prepared freeze dried food pacs to be used in case of an emergency. The pacs would be distributed to the elderly and snowbound residents. Reed doubted if the board had the right and authority to spend money for food. “It’s not a government function.” The request was referred to Turkey Creek Township Trustee Joseph Shewmon. A request was heard from James Howard, attorney, regarding the vacating of part of a street in Pottowatami Heights. One portion of the street is located behind Betty Socks while another portion is behind the Jean Rogers residence. The board felt adjacent property owners should have a chance to voice their views. The request was tabled until the next meeting. No report was heard from TenEch concerning the waste water disposal plant. Paul Turpin of TenEch was ill. He should be present at the next meeting. A letter was read from Harold Bassett of Turkey Creek Drive. Dye Plumbing and Heating had installed a water meter at the Bassett residence without prior notification. Due to the installation. the water lines had shorted out and frozen up. A bill in the amount of $47.62 for repairs was forwarded on to Dye for its consideration. Paul Isbell, town board member, had some complaints about the iron removal plant. He said, “In my opinion it’s not ready to go.” He listed several things wrong including painting and color coding of the pipes. Ernest L. Burcham of the Indiana State Board of Health wishes to inspect the plant before it’s put in operation. Town Manager The 1979 salary ordinance was amended to include the town manager. The yearly salary for this position was set at $15,000.

Congressman Floyd IJw Fithian Reports
Congress has a lot of work cut out for it this year. But three key issues emerge as the most pressing items on the legislative agenda for the 96th Congress. First, Congress must act decisively to control inflation. Second, we should establish a national energy policy ivhich accents use of domestic renewable energy sources, rather than imported oil. Third, we must carefully evaluate the American role in world affairs, and make critical decisions about defense and foreign policy questions. Since Congress adjourned last October. I have spent a lot of time with the people of northern Indiana. I’ve talked with factory workers, farmers, businessmen, homemakers, retired people — citizens from all walks of life. They have all spoken the same message: America must defeat inflation before inflation defeats the American dream Many complex factors led to the present inflationary spiral, but the blame for ‘one of the causes can be laid right at the feet of the federal government itself. Excessive government spending has fueled inflation’s fires, and we won’t beat inflation until we stop spending more than we have. I will soon introduce a constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget. Except in times of war or national emergency the federal government would be constitutionally forbidden from spending more money than it takes in. The inflationary budget deficit isn’t the only cause of inflation but it is one thing which the government can do something about. As long as the government is competing with private citizens in the money market, everything we buy will cost us more. One of the major causes of inflation is the amount we spend to import oil from Saudi Arabia and other foreign nations. That cost us $45 billion last year — more than the entire projected
Wednesday, Feb. 2. Eldona and Patty Wyland were also guests. Sam Beer has purchased part of the Weybright land that adjoins the Andrew J. Beer home farm and will move his family thereon April first. Bill Little returned to Indiana university Monday after spending a week with his parents, Mr: and Mrs. E. E. Little. 58 YEARS AGO. FEB. 10, 1921 Mr. and Mrs. George Hatfield are visiting the former's sister. Mrs. John Robinson and family of Fort Wayne. Mrs. Harold Smith and children returned to their home at South Bend on Saturday after having spent a few days with her parents near Nappanee and also with Mr. and Mrs. William Smith and daughter. Miss Mae Smith. Mrs. Avery Groves of Fort Wayne was visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Ray Miller and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Groves the fore part of this week and returned to her home Wednesday morning. Mr. Groves is now proof reader at the News office in Fort Wayne.
1979 budget deficit. I propose a major national effort to develop and utilize fuel from domestic renewable sources. Our cars can run cleaner on gasohol, a mixture of gasoline and ethyl alcohol made from farm or urban waste. Industrial processes now relying on fossil fuels can be powered instead by alcohol manufactured from wood chips or city garbage. Solar energy could augment our heating plants, instead of relying solely on fuel oil or natural gas. Where alcohol fuel is produced from cornstalks, farmers could pocket an extra SSO an acre profit. Where it is produced from garbage, it could solve Some urban waste problems by yielding 57 gallons of alcohol per ton of garbage. The massive new energy initiative I envision cannot be launched without some initial investment by public sources in the form of loan guarantees and tax incentives. That is just what Congress should 'authorize this year. Next to the fight to balance the budget, my major priority in the 96th Congress will be to encourage support for what I call “the gasohol solution.” •» Clearly, the other major issues facing Congress in 1979 are on the international scene. U.S. recognition of China sets the stage for new era in many international relationships. Our role in such areas as Iran. South Africa and the Mideast must be studies carefully. Senate debate on the SALT agreement will be especially critical to establishing our national security priorities. These issues and many others confront the American people as Congress begins its work for the year. I hope that 2nd District citizens will participate in their government by becoming well informed and advising me of their views on such important matters. Join me in Town Meetings, visit the 2nd District mobile office or call me on the toll-free Action Line (800-382-7517). I want to hear your views.
