Survey — Continued from page 1) housing board of five people who would approve what rehabilitation was needed to these homes. Murphy pointed out he would see the action Was carried out, advertising for bids, letting bids and doing the paper and leg work ! ■Rie only disadvantage Murphy could see in the town is there is not an area designated as a low income area, meaning persons with an income between $7,000 and SIO,OOO. Myrick Contact Person Murphy stated he wanted one person in the town he could contact if he had any questions while preparing the survey. After a short discussion, Carl Myrick, town board president, agreed to act as a contact until the survey is written. At the regular board meeting, Maryh 20, a committee will be chosen for the survey. The Lakeland Day Care representatives brought up their problem with the state fire marshal. Murphy was told the marshal said he would need a letter after Tuesday’s meeting saying there was something definitely being done in order (or the center to remain open after the temporary license expires June 30. Murphy agreed to write a letter to the state fire marhsal’s office on behalf of the day care center stating the progress and time schedule involved. Projected Timetable Murphy was asked what the timetable would be on this project. He replied it depends on what HUD’s program is for next year, which will be known in January 1981, and the building could be up in the summer of 1981. Park Board He stated he could work with the park board immediately and would need a five-year plan to start the ball rolling. This plan would need to be completed by June 1 and sent to Indianapolis for approval. After the state approval, an application would be submitted in September with funding to be decided in October. Murphy stated the funding would be 50-50 and there are ways to get more. Following the fundings, the plan set up has to be followed. Pat Bartow, representing the park board, reviewed information on the land which was purchased from Joe Hughes and the money which was used to purchase the land. The property is located behind the Calvary United Methodist Church, south of Syracuse. Mrs. Bartow stated the land was sold with the stipulation it would be used as a city park and the money used out of the Geiger Fund was also earmarked for a city park.

1978. Fourth quarter sales volume increased to $5,760,000 producing a pre-tax profit margin from continuing operations of $736,000 or 12.8 per cent of net sales. In the fourth quarter of 1978, net sales were $4,825,000 which resulted in a pretax profit margin of $270,000 or 5.6 per cent of net sales. La Fleur pointed out approximately $49,000, or two cents per share, of the fourth quarter’s net income resulted from prepayment, at a discount, of a note that would have been due in 1981. He said the prepayment was possible because of GTl’s greatly improved cash position.

Fithian speaks at REMC meeting
NEW ’ ORLEANS Congressman Floyd Fithian told a national meeting of Rural Electric Co-op members here Monday they can play a major role in ensuring a sound energy future for America’s farm communities. In his speech, Fithian challenged REMCs to make an “immediate and vigorous effort” at energy conservation. “All analysts agree that the most immediate steps which can be taken toward energy independence are through conservation, ” he added. “REMCs, as a part of rural America, have always been committed to making the best use of our resources. They can continue to do so by expanding their programs to manage peakuse energy loads and to educate and assist homeowners in conserving energy,” Fithian said. Fithian has drafted legislation

Beef supply no acciaenf
By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec Lots of people think there’s plenty of beef no father away than their favorite grocery store. But it’s not that simple to get high quality beef where people want it and when they want it. The beef supply is no accident. Actually, it’s thousands of miles and 20-24 months from conception to consumption — from ranges to feedlots, to packing plants until that steak or roast is finally cut, wrapped and ready for you to buy. When you get to the grocery, you need to make wise beef selections. Look for high quality beef with moderate fat covering, firm, fine-grained lean meat and bones that are porous and red. When deciding how much to buy, consider your family’s appetites. storage facilities, the preparation time, and the kind and cut of meat you’re buying. Keep in mind that different cuts provide a different number of servings. Cuts with little fat or bone, such as ground beef or liver, provide three-four servings per pound. Cuts with medium fat or bone such as most roasts, provide two to three servings per pound; and cuts with much fat and bone, such as porterhouse. Tbone. and club steaks, provide one to two servings per pound. Most beef purchases are made on the basis of appeal and convenience. But the nutritional value may also be a consideration when purchasing. Beef contributes significant amounts of protein, niacin and iron. Different cuts provide different amounts of nutrients. For example, sirloin contributes 17 g. of protein per 3.5 ounce serving, hamburger 18 g., chuck 19 g., and the round 20 g. The iron content also differs: Tongue-2 mg., sirloin 2.5 mg., hamburger-2.7 mg., chuck-2.8 mg. and liver-6.5 mg. The average adult male requires 56 g. of protein and 10 mg. of iron daily and the average female requires 46 g. of protein and 18 mg. of iron daily. So, selecting beef based on its nutritional contribution can help assure the meal manager of proper nutrition for her family. ’ Beef is at its best when cooked as soon as possible after purchase. However, if it’s necessary to keep it for several days before cooking be sure to store and care for it properly. Beef is perishable « and must be stored in the refrigerator immediately upon your return from the store. If you plan to keep beef more than two to three days before cooking, it’s best to freeze it. Frozen at zero degrees, beef will retain its best flavor, color, texture and appearance up to eight months and up to four months for hamburger. All defrosting should be done in

Two Syracuse women charged Two Syracuse women were charged on separate counts of check deception by Kosciusko County Police when they were booked at the county jail over the week end. Arrested and released on SSOO bond were Karen Lyn Hire, 23, r 3, and Ruth Rene Breske, 37, r 2.
the refrigerator to guard against food spoilage. When selecting your beef cut, keep in mind the cooking principle you plan to use. Certain cooking methods are adapted to the tender cuts, while others are especially suited to the lesstender cuts. In general, tender cuts are best when cooked by dry heat methods, such as roasting, broiling, pan broiling and frying. On the other hand, less tender cuts are made tender by cooking with moist heat, such as braising and cooking in liquid, where the meat is surrounded by either steam or hot liquid. It requires long slow cooking in moisture to soften connective tissue. Loss of nutrients during cooking is not the serious problem with beef that it is with other foods. Nevertheless, care should be taken to prevent needless losses — especially inthe B-vitamins group. The B vitamins are water soluble, and therefore some are retained in liquid that escapes as meat cooks. Simple precautions to conserve meat drippings, such as Using them in gravy, will insure that important nutrition is not wasted. So the next time you step up to the meat counter to make your beef selection, take a minute to think about how that piece of beef got to the store. It takes a lot of people, time and money to assure you of adequate beef consumption — 130 pounds per year per person. The Extension Homemakers Past County Officers will meet Tuesday. March 11. at 12 noon at the REMC, Warsaw. Those attending arc asked to bring a covered dish and table service. The committee will provide the meat and beverage. Snow blamed for 2 accidents The early morning snow with the resulting slippery roads was responsible for at least two accidents this morning near Syracuse. An accident on SR 13S near Baker’s Market occurred at approximately 8 a m. At press time, however, none of the details is known except that an empty school bus apparently slid on the road and hit a pick up truck operated by Stuart Walker, 37, 119 W.E. Long Dr., Syracuse. He was transported by the Syracuse Emergency Medical Service to Goshen hospital. Walker complained of back and head pains. A second accident on West Main Street, near the old Harris Funeral Home, occurred at approximately 8:15 a.m. The driver of a pick up truck evidently lost control of his vehicle and it ended up in a lawn. Want a personal lie detector? Personal lie detectors may be as common place as the pocket calculator if a New York company has its way. CCS Communication Control, a manufacturer of security devices, says it plans to testmarket two types of lie detectors — one that looks like a common calculator and one that looks like a radio — sometime in December. The Chicago Tribune reports CCS originally tried to market a $29.95 digital watch that was also a lie detec tor last April but tabled the idea after receiving strong opposition from several federal agencies. Now the firm is trying again with a $149.95 pocket calculator that doubles as a lie detector and a $199.95 radiocamouflaged polygraph device.

TELLING INDUSTRY’S STORY’ — Richard Rice, plant manager at Dana’s Syracuse plant, is shown second from right with Roger Grothaus, state senator John B. Augsburger and state representative Thames Mauzy, discussing legislation before the Indiana General Assembly that has a significant bearing on Indiana Industry.
Legislators tour plant — Plan diversification at Dana: Plant manager Richard Rice
Officials of the Syracuse Dana Spicer Axle plant discussed a wide range of problems of concern to their general welfare with State Senator John B. Augsburger and State Representative Thames Mauzy on Friday. The session with the two local legislators followed a tour of the large plant and a luncheon. The discussion was led by Richard Rice, plant manager. Others present included David Blanchard, division superintendent; Jack Carr, quality control manager; Roger Grothaus, quality control supervisor and Syracuse governmental affairs advisor; and David Arnold, personnel manager. Enlarged Plant During the plant tour, plant manager Rice pointed out that the plant has been increased in size from 138.000 sq. ft. to 305,000 square feet and has a Chessie rail siding that goes into the new section of the plant, to accommodate four cars. The plant’s fuel bill has been kept in line with the use of four large air rotation units. Mr. Rice told the group that the local plant, originally intended to be used as an automotive axle plant, will actually become a more disversified plant. “We’re looking for new lines to manufacture here,” Rice said, noting that they were apWebster firemen help rescue four animals North Webster and Warsaw Fire Departments were involved in the rescue of three goats and a cat caught in a burning pole barn Friday, north of Dutchtown. The fire occurred on CR 400E, one mile north of Dutchtown at the Ed Cotton farm. Cause of the fire, which caused an estimated $5,000 damage, is still under investigation. Leesburg woman treated after one-car crash Wednesday Donna J. Mead, 33, r 1 Leesburg, was treated at Kosciusko Community Hospital for a cut on her forehead following a one-vehicle accident, Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 8:10 p.m. The mishap occurred three miles southwest of North Webster on the Armstrong Road. Mead’s auto hit some ice on the road and went out of control striking a tree on the south side. A passenger, Jesse Alfred Mead, 40, r 2 Warsaw, refused treatment for a cut underneath his eye. Kosciusko County Patrolmen Thomas Brindle and Gerry • Moser investigated and damage was estimated at SI,OOO to the 1973 truck.
proaching the recreational vehicle industry and mobile home industry to make axles for them. He said, “We might be manufacturing a hodge-podge of products under the Dana label. We’re looking for many things to produce here.” “We’ve even approached Chore-Time at Milford to see what we could do for them.” he unashamedly added. Right now there are 72 people employed at the Dana plant, Mr. Rice said, adding that they were mindful of those long-time employees who had been laid off. Mr. Rice told the legislators he wanted them to be mindful of industry’s problems. He approached such things as the Chrysler Aid Bill which the General Assembly approved. Augsburger and Mauzy both said they voted against the bill, but that it is now on Governor Bowen’s desk for his signature. Rice said, “In my view if a company is poorly managed it should not be bailed out. This could become contageous with poorly managed companies.” Rice struck out at imports, particularly automobiles. He said duty on parts is only four per cent while finished units is 25 per cent, which led to foreign manufacturers shipping parts into the United States, then assembling them here. “We’d just like to play with the same deck of cards,” he said wryly.

Rice noted that the Japanese in particular have a more generous depreciation schedule on buildings and equipment than American manufacturers do, again striking a balance in tavor of foreign manufacturers. He said. “We’ve lost our textile industry, our electronics industry and the steel industry is on the ropes and now we’re about to give away our auto industry.” The two legislators at the meet ng said most representatives in the general assembly are not business men and do not know the problems of business. Rice told the legislators, “Work and profit are not dirty words. We pay taxes from profits. It’s the American free enterprise system at work.” He noted that the oil companies are under attack for making “windfall profits," but that these profits should be compared to gross business and not to profits of the previous year. Senator Augsburger said the television networks make more profits than the oil companies, yet no mention is made of this. Bright Dana Picture Dana manager Ricb said he saw a bright future for the Dana plant at Syracuse, noting that these are troublesome times throughout the entire country right now. They have moved some old Weatherhead ' automatic machines back into the Syracuse plant as part of their diversification plan in order to expand the local job market.
