Munson is well known in the county, from a highly respected family and is well connected throughout the county. Whitesell said he was prompted to seek the office inasmuch as his opponent is product of a trade-off between two well known Warsaw law firms. Both Whitesell and Jarrette have had their eyes on TurkeyCreek Township as a place to mine much-needed votes, and they’ve been courting precinct committeemen and -women and others in this township. It should be noted, at the same time, that the big contest in the

At a convocation Wednesday which was held in Tracy Rinker’s honor as state gymnastics champion, Mr. Smith read Carpenter’s letter of resignation as a coach. Mrs. Carpenter has coached girls sports for 13 years, had numerous sectional, regional and state champions in track and gymnastics as well as starting the girls’ program at Wawasee. Having been one of her athletes, I can honestly say that the job has been one of many

hours and long days. I would certainly think the local community newspaper could give a little more notice than that of one sentence at the bottom of an article. After all Arch, the Times Union (which usually slights Wawasee Athletes) gave her a very nice article as well as front page coverage. Can’t your paper afford to give this lady a little more recognition after all she has done for Wawasee and the community? A former Wawasee Athlete Benefit mentally retarded Dear Editor: On behalf of the Knights of Columbus Council 6323 of Sryacuse, I would like to thank the communities of Milford, North Webster and Syracuse for their participation in our Tootsie Roll drive this past week end. The Tootsie Roll drive is sponsored by the Indiana Knights of Columbus annually for the benefit of the mentally retarded. The funds collected statewide by the 90 plus K of C councils will remain in their respective counties. The money collected in the Lakeland area will be presented to the Cardinal Learning Center at a later date. The drive could not have been a success if it weren’t for the generosity of the people who gave of their time, energy and money. Sincerely, Robert H. List Grand Knight Council 6323, Syracuse Public service? Dear Editor: There is a handwritten sign in the Syracuse post office which reads: ‘‘No information concerning addresses given while employees are sorting mail.” It was my opinion the postal employees were hired by the government (we the taxpayers) to be a service to the public. Evidently this is incorrect so a person desiring a box or street number must do so at the conviences of the postal workers. The question now is: How does a person know what hours the employees are working and the hours they are free to talk to the public? Our tax dollars pay for the United States Postal System and as a citizen 1 am concerned for the lack of availability to the public. I really don’t feel it is too much to ask for a little more service (with a smile, please!) for the tax dollars we pay. I’m sure if I were to run my business at the convenience of my employees, I’d be out of business. Maybe the postal system should be within the free enterprise system. Johnß. Augsburger

A brief look at the political scene
“THE MOUNTAIN roared and out stepped a mouse,” former New Hampshire Governor Meldrin Thomson, Constitution Party candidate for president, said last week in reference to the “deception being practiced upon the American people by the Carter administration’s budget cutting charade. “The sl6 billion budget cut now being touted by the moaning and groaning Washington establishment represents only a token decrease of a bloated frills and frosting budget,” Thompson continued. The Constitution Party standard bearer declared that, “Such self-serving political tactics fail to get at the sinews of waste, extravagance and the catering to special interest groups which infest the full body of the budget. “The Carter fiscal 1981 budget can be cut by billions more and it’s time that the administration and the Congress stopped slicing baloney and got at it,” Thomson concluded. —o— SECRETARY OF State Edwin J. Simcox and Susanne Ridlen, the wife of State Treasurer Julian Ridlen, have announced the appointment of State Senator John B. Augsburger to serve as a member of the 1980 Republican State Platform Committee. Simcox and Ridlen, cochairpersons of the committee, released the names of 36 Republicans who have agreed to serve on the committee, which will take public testimony in, three regional hearings set for Fort Wayne (2 to 5 p.m. April 19 at the Marriott Inn); Indianapolis (3 to 7 p.m. April 16 ISTA Building, 150 West Market Street); and Evansville (3 to 7 p.m. April 24, Republican Headquarters, ,£O2 Market Street). Simcox said, “Augsburger has played a major role in the achievements and successes of Governor Bowen’s administration.” According to Simcox, “Senator Augsburger has been a leader in the Indiana General Assembly in shaping legislation on ’the property tax relief program as well as other Republican initiatives and is therefore an important addition to our party’s platform formulation. ’ ’ The GOP platform document is drafted in each general election year and embodies the party’s stand on issues of general concern in the state. The committee draft will be considered and adopted in final form by the delegates attending the Republican State Nominating Convention on Friday, June 13. Printed copies of the platform will be available to the public following its adoption. —O'LAST WEEK, the House of

Representatives voted approval of the misnamed “Windfall Profits Tax.” charges Sara K. Florek in a news release this week. Floyd Fithian, continues the release, voted for this new tax through which taxpayers will be the source of an estimated $227 billion more in taxes in the next few years. At the same time, Florek says, Fithian joined other Congresssmen in supporting a meaningless » non-binding resolution which contained tax cut recommendations. “As a taxpayer, I resent this attempt to ‘get off the hook,’ ” she continued. “If the House members were serious, why didn’t they vote for tax cuts as part of the ‘Windfall’ bill? “As a Republican candidate for Congress, I pledge to oppose any future tax proposal which is not tied directly to corresponding income tax relief. We need to reduce taxes to restore our nati m’s economic vigor — not to increase them as Congress is now doing.” -oPHIL RARICK, ,-GOP challenger to Thames Mauzy for the 17th district seat in the Indiana House of Representatives, called on Mauzy to publicly state his position on the Wetland bill. Rarick charged Mauzy abstained on a vote to commit the Wetlands bill to committee, Wood burning stoves charming but dangerous While wood burning stoves have a charm all their own and have become very popular since the onset of the energy crisis and skyrocketing fuel bills, they do present a potential danger to life and property. There’s a lot more to using a wood burning stove than just installing it in your home and lighting the fire. The vast majority of wood burning stoves are installed in homes on a do-it-yourself basis. The result is improper installation, leading to fires causing loss of lives and millions of dollars in property damage. A pamphlet outlining wood stove safety requirements can be obtained from the Insurance Information Institute. 110 William Street, New York, N.Y. 10038, at t’ e rate of ten cents a copy.

which essentially killed the bill. Rarick stated, “Mr. Mauzy states his record is ‘well known.’ It appears he is not familiar with his own record on a subject of critical importance to this county.” Rarick stated, “I think Mr. Mauzy has some explaining to do, specifically, sir, do you or do you not favor compensating Wetland owners for loss of use of their land?” Rarick stated he favors providing compensation for Wetland property owners. “If the State is convinced that the wetlands serve a valuable function for out lakes, then the state should pay property owners for depriving them of its use,” Rarick stated. —o— REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL candidate Bill Conover announced his position on the problem of inflation. The solution, according to Conover, involves reducing government spending and * increasing government revenues, to create a sustained balanced federal budget. ‘ Conover advocated reducing spending by an all out effort to eliminate waste and wasteful programs. He cited the Department of Energy as, “An agency that spends billions of dollars every year and doesn’t contribute even one additional barrel of oil.”
Congressman Floyd Fithian Reports
The Paperwork Redaction Act, H R. 6410, passed the House this week on a voice vote. Congressman Floyd Fithian supported the bill and voted for it earlier this month in the Government Operations Committee. “The real signifiance of all of the forms, questionnaires and reports which are showered on individuals and businessmen is how they add to inflation,” Fithian said. “All this extra paperwork adds to the costs of business and government at every step of the way.” The bill provides a govern-ment-wide program to coordinate federal information policies to

eliminate duplication and ease reporting requirements. The Senate this week approved the conference report on the windfall profits bill, which now will go to the President for his signature. The bill will raise $227 billion from excess profits of the major oil companies over the next 11 years, taxing those profits at about a 50 per cent rate. The money will be earmarked for new energy production and mass transportation. “This bill has been a long time coming, and I’m glad to see that it will become law,” Congressman Floyd Fithian said. Two other major energy bills, the Energy Mobilization Board and the synthetic fuels bill, are still in House-Senate conference comittees. Hearings have been scheduled for April 2 and 3 in the Ways and Means Committee on the “marriage tax” problem. Married couples where both the husband and wife work are taxed at much higher rates than they would be taxed if they were not married or if the family had only one income. “This inequity in our tax laws be fixed,” Congressman Floyd Fithian said. “In these days more and more families are seeing both parents go to work as a necessity. They shouldn't have an unfair tax burden heaped on top of them.” The problem affects more than half of all the married couples in the country, about 38 million people, according to the IRS. Fithian has cosponsored a bill, H.R. 3609, which would give married couples the opportunity to choose'if they wanted to be taxed as married or as if each were single.
