Will close SRI3 — Syracuse to get new bridge in summer of 'B3
Diiring the summer of 1983, SR 13 through Syracuse will be closed for approximately six months, for the construction of a new bridge across Turkey Creek on Huntington St., near the town hall. Initial plans for the construction were announced last week to replace the current bridge and a tentative timetable has been set to award bids in October 1982. Construction will start shortly thereafter and the work is to be completed by December 1983. The new bridge will be built
Fithian speaks to gasohol commission in Chicago
CHICAGO — The rising price of gasoline will help to increase public support for alcohol fuels. Congressman Floyd Fithian said Friday at a meeting here sponsored by the National Gasohol Commission. “With the prospect that gasoline prices will rise to $2 a gallon by the end of the year, there can be no-question that the time for alcohol fuels such as g&sohol has come,” Fithian said. Fithian was a speaker at a twoday seminar for grain elevator operators sponsored by the Gasohol Commission. “If you were to leave the room right now and start building a new alcohol plant, alcohol fuels would be priced competitive without subsidy before your plant was completed,” Fithian told the group. Fithian also described recent federal incentives for alcohol fuel production as “the kind of incentives which will spur the movement on.” Included in the incentives is an extension of the four-cent per gallon road tax exemption on gasohol, a $3 billion federal credit program aimed at financing alcohol fuel plant construction and steps to convert federal vehicles to gasohol use. Fithian said also he was encouraged by a new and more

through state and federal funding for an estimated $197,000. In a state highway engineer’s report, it said a new bridge is necessary because of considerable spalling ’and leaching from the deck to the bridge floor. The report also staled it would not be feasible to repair it. Detour Traffic During construction, through traffic on SR 13 will have to take a nine mile detour. The detour will travel west on U.S. 30 to SR 15, then north to U.S. 6 and east back to SR 13. There ■is no possibility of a temporary “runaround” being built within
constructive attitude within the federal bureaucracy toward alcohol fuels. “But, while real progress is being made on alcohol fuels legislation in Washington, much more needs to be done,” Fithian added. Fithian said he supported a plan to add S3O million to the 1981 budget to fund alcohol fuels
Food stamps hit an all-time high
An estimated 1,100 Hoosier college and university student households helped swell the number of Indiana residents on food stamps to an all-time record high during the month of February. The number of Hoosier households receiving food stamps reached nearly 125,000 with 372,000 persons for a record volume of $13.2 million during last month, according to state food stamp officials. Wayne A. Stanton, State Welfare Administrator, indicated the number of college and university student households

Citizens of the area will be able to seek a public hearing on the bridge by sending a written request to the Highway Commission’s Planning Information Manager, State Office Building, 100 North Senate St., Indianapolis, Ind., 46204, by March 31 If a hearing is requested it would be held within the next three months in the Syracuse area. The specifications for the new bridge will provide almost a duplicate of the current structure: Two lanes, 36-feet wide with five-foot sidewalks on each side.
research projects. “But I must tell you that adding anything to the budget these days is difficuU,” he said. Fithian urged the establishment of technical assistance for smaller-scale rural energy production projects, a testing program for small and mid-sized stills now coming or) the market and greater cooperation among federal agencies.
receiving food stamps ranged from 380 in Indiana University, Bloomington and 275 in Marion County (Butler, IU-PUI, Indiana Central, Ivy-Tech and Marion College) to a low of six at Goshen College. Full-time students are eligible for food stamps under federal law and United States Department of Agriculture rules and regulations if they have expressed a willingness to work 20 hours per week and if they are not reported as dependents on their parents’ federal tax returns. Stanton further indicated that contributing to the continuing increase in the number of food stamps issued are the downward economic conditions, seasonal unemployment, strikes and other work stoppages in the state.

Increase In theft of gold and silver in state
The recent increase in the theft of silver and gold has prompted Superintendent of the Indiana State Police, John T. Shettle, to encourage owners of valuable metals to take additional precautions for their safe keeping. “In just the past two days, I have reviewed criminal case reports concerning burglary of homes in which $49,380 worth of valuable coins and jewelry were stolen,” he commented. “There have doubtless other similar cases we have worked, as well as cases reported to other police agencies. The rising value of silver and gold has prompted more thefts in this area,” he continued. “I am sincerely concerned about this type of theft, not only because of the monetary loss involved, but because of potential injury or death of the home owner. Many times the perpetrator of a burglary, upon discovery, will seriously injure or kill the home owner to avoid apprehension.” Shettle further states that the most secure place for valuables Williams announces target prices Acting Secretary of Agriculture Jim Williams has announced changes in the 1980 farm programs, including higher target prices for wheat and feed grains. Producers who stay within their normal crop acreage qualify for farm program benefits based upon the new announced target prices, William said.
“President Carter tiday signed the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1980 which raised the 1980 wheat target price to $3.63 a bushel and the 1980 corn target price to $2.35 a bushel,” Williams said. “We are also setting the 1980 sorghum and barley target prices at $2.50 and $2.55 per bushel, respectively.” However, Williams said producers who want to receive the higher target prices must stay within their normal crop acreage. “Those who exceed their NCA will receive benefits based upon the formula target in the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977,” he said. This formula establishes 1980 target prices for wheat at $3.08, corn at $2.05, sorghum at $2.45 and barley at $2.29,” -, Williams said. “The new act extends the disaster payments program through the 1980 crop year for producers of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton and rice. Producers who plant within their NCA will be eligible for disaster payments on wheat and feed grains based on the higher target levels.
Syracuse man arrested for burglary With the arrest of a Syracifse man for the burglary of a Leesburg resident’s truck, the Syracuse Police were able to clear up a breaking and entering that occurred last December. Mark Stephen Dean, 23, 430 E. Boston Street, was arrested by Syracuse Town Marshal Robert Houser last Tuesday afternoon, March 18, and charged with the burglary of a truck owned by Curt Singrey, r 2 Leesburg. According to Houser, he saw Dean sitting in the pick-up truck on Boston Street and asked Singrey if Dean had permission to use the truck. When Singrey told the marshal he had not given the permission, Houser then arrested Dean. Upon further questioning by the authorities, Dean admitted the theft of merchandise from Hartman’s Coffee Shop last December. However, he denied any involvement in the Syracuse Case break-in which occurred the same evening. Dean is being held at Kosciusko County jail; no bond has been set.

of this type is in a bank safety deposit box. Home safes are no guarantee of preventing loss since a heavy safe can be from the home, along with other valuable articles. Other precautions to be taken would include caution in talking to strangers about valuables kept in the home and basic home protection measures such as leaving lights on when absent from the home. In addition to the hazards of home burglaries to obtain gold and silver, there is also the problem of the “rip-off artists”. There are people who advertise in communities that for one day only, they will buy gold and silver ata local motel. A recent con-game of this type resulted in $30,000 worth of bad checks being given to the sellers of coins and valuable metals. Shettle stressed the importance of sellers accepting only cash from dealers they do not know.
Dr. Steven M. Yoder to open practice in Syracuse
The Lakeland community will have a new doctor beginning July 15. Dr. Steven M. Yoder, MD, will open his practice then at 303 S. Huntington Street, Syracuse. He will share office space, office help and night calls with Dr. Jack Clark. Originally from Middlebury, Dr. Yoder graduated from Indiana University in 1973 with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and biological sciences. He then attended Indiana University School of Medicine at Indianapolis where he received his MD degree in May 1977. ’ He will finish a three-year family practice residency at South Bend Memorial Hospital this June. Dr. Yoder is no stranger to the Syracuse community. He spent a month of his senior year of medical school working with Dr. Clark helping cover the practice load and occasionally during his residency. Dr. Yoder is married to the former Susan Hepler of Goshen; the Yoders have two daughters, Jennie, age two-and-one-half and Krisfyn,one. The Yoders plan to live in Goshen. He feels this will be an advantage for emergency room coverage and for those patients seriously ill at Goshen hospital. He also feels this will make it possible for him to better manage the demands of the obstetrical aspect of his practice by being closer to the hospital. .Dr. Yoder enjoys tennis, jogging and spending time with his family during his free time.

with the folks on these islands. For a bit of the Netherlands it’s Aruba, Bonnaire and part of Sint Maarten (yes, that's the way they spell it); the other part of the island is French and called St. Martin. St. Kitts is British and on other islands there are traces of ( Spain, Africa and the Scandinavian countries of Denmark and Sweden. Os course you can’t get to all of these islands in one trip but it’s possible to enjoy one or two. “Just north of the Caribbean Sea in the Atlantic Ocean are the Bahamas which also will give you a taste of British Because they are reasonably close the Bahamas often are linked with Caribbean islands. “There are family packages that all ages to these fascinating places. Its well worth looking into because of thf? special deals for children between the ages of two and eleven when traveling with two full-fare adults. Tour companies prefer that you get detailed information from your travel agent who is supplied with illustrated material especially for your consideration.” At that point Lem had a phone call but he had more summer vacation ideas to talk about whichhe will do just as soon as he gets off the phone.
