Letters to the editor

Seek help to oppose bill

Dear Editor: I am deeply concerned over a Bill, which Representatives Brademas, Fithian voted for. The Bill has passed the House of Representatives. The Child Health Insurance Act of 1979 (HR. 4962) would allow the Federal Government to intrude into your home to see if your child is properly cared for. God’s Word tells us that parents are responsible for the well-being and training of their child. If you’d go back and read the journals of our founding fathers pertaining to the Constitution, you will find they respected, and most had a deep conviction for God and His Word. They drew up the Constitution under God and Biblical Principles. Our Government, in the past, has always acknowledged this fact, also, that the Constitution is the supreme law of the Land, and they were to abide by it. I believe for those not wishing to abide by our Constitution, they should go elsewhere! To understand the danger of this Bill, we must consider the Humanists, President Carter has appointed at the head of these Bureaucracies, and in our Judicial System, who will be writing and enforcing their interpretation of this Bill. The Humanists believe: in no God and no hereafter; it’s immoral.

unreal, deceitful and harmful to indoctrinate children with God’s Words and Biblical Principles; Religious education and prayers in schools should be eliminated; Church Day Schools should be abolished; there are no absolutes, each person is the sole judge of his own actions; no one has the right to criticize or condemn, therefore, you cannot punish a child by spanking, etc. The Bureaucracy already has: taken children away from their parents, and arrested Ministers for spanking; killed one man for refusing to send his children to a Public School, and threatened many others for refusing to submit to a license for their Ministry; etc. This Bill, if it becomes Law, will give these Bureaucracies more power, therefore, where will their intrusion end? To continue ruling our homes by Bible Principles and/or the dictates of our consciences; we must not allow this Bill to pass the Senate, and permit Representatives Brademas, Fithian, and their kind to be re-elected. Please become involved — write your views to our Senators. “When the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn”. Prov. 29:2. Chauncey L. Bennett New Paris, Indiana

Who cores about WHS baseball

Dear Editor: Who cares about the Wawasee Baseball program? The coach, the players, and a few loyal fans, and I do mean a few. I have been attending my brother’s baseball games for the past few years and after this season I became so disgusted that I decided to speak out. First of all, why aren’t there any fans at the games? If the Wawasee Boosters are really boosters they should support baseball, not just the big moneymaking sports. And where are the parents? If they care about their kids, they should make the time to come and support them. It is also a rare occasion when an administrator is seen attending a baseball game. But that is not the only problem. I have been to all of the baseball fields in the conference

Why draft — register now?

Dear Editor: 1. Selective Service officials have testified it is not needed. 2. Nuclear missiles may give several minutes warning. A few days advantage from the draft is no real security in a war emergency. 3. All favorable to war should volunteer now. 4. Take adults first. We’ve lived our lives and have less to lose. 5. If youth are old enough to die, they should have a voice in life and death decisions. 6. Service to your country and mankind can be given in unlimited areas.

Farm notes

Energy program ideas suggested by Farm Bureau A movie, with some of the scenes shot in Indiana, is an indicator for Hoosiers of what’s available in energy-related material for meetings and other events, according to the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc. The movie, “Fuel for the Food Machine.” was shot in Hancock. Marion, and Putnam Counties. Indiana, as well as in other states around the nation. It centers on agricultural energy needs and examines present energy sources. These include oil and gas production, shale oil, tar sands, geothermal, atomic and wind, wood and water. The film, in 16 mm. color, runs for 27 minutes. It was produced by the American Farm Bureau for general audiences, including high schools, business and civic organizations as well as farm groups.

and the diamond at Wawasee is a joke compared to the rest. If Wawasee can boast of having the best facilities around, they better get to work, and they might as well start with the worst facilities around, the baseball field. Coach Baker deserves a lot of thanks for the great job he has done. Besides being the coach, he and a few players have also had to maintain a poor excuse of a baseball diamond. Where is our pride? I don’t think we should ignore this problem anymore. I believe we need to get our athletic program into perspective. If we don’t support our baseball program by attending the games, and also financially, we won’t have a baseball program muchionger. Craig Koble Syracuse

7. U.S. overkill capacity does not merit youth draft. 8. War decides between the living and dead or dying. 9. War preparation continues building our inflation. 10. Nuclear war leaves no winners and few survivors. 11. World peace, if possible after World War 111, can better be made now. 12. Let’s draft $ and profits, not youth. 13. How can a Christian justify killing? Signed, Geo. D. Weybright Syracuse, Ind.

Indiana scenes show Ted Brewer on what was the Brewer family farm in Putnam County. The Brewers have since moved their farming operation to White County. Another scene shows Lloyd Arthur, R. R. 4, Greenfield, peering at an ominous sky while filling his tractor with fuel and wondering if he can get his field work done before the weather breaks. Still another Hoosier scene is one at the Walter Althardt home, 11650 East 30th Street, Indianapolis, where Mrs. Violet Althardt is baking apple pies in her kitchen. The Farm Bureau also suggests the use of a color slide film entitled, “The Invisible Crisis.” This is a 24-minute presentation on the general U.S. energy policy with the focus on medium term energy supply problems. This film is produced by Ohio State University. “Gasohol — Agriculture’s Response to the Energy

Judy Dalton coordinator for Quayle INDIANAPOLIS - Judy A. Dalton of Warsaw has been appointed Kosciusko County Coordinator for the Quayle for Senate Committee, Congressman Dan Quayle R-IN., has officially announced. As Quayle Committee Coordinator, Dalton will be responsible for all campaign activity in Kosciusko County for Quayle’s 1980 U.S. Senate campaign. “I am gratified by the enthusiastic willingness of people like Judy to takean active part in this crucial effort to elect a new generation of leadership in Washington this year,” Quayle said of the appointment. “Thanks to the support, dedication and hard work of Judy and all of those across the state who are rapidly joining the Quayle Committee, we will be victorious in November.” “We do need new leadership in Washington, and Dan Quayle has been an outstanding Congressman with a record much more in tune with Hoosiers than Senator Bayh's, Dalton said in accepting the appointment. Quayle, a newspaper publisher and attorney by profession, came tb national prominence in 1976 after upsetting a long-time Democratic incumbent in the Fourth Congressional District which includes Fort Wayne. Ranked by the press as bne of the “six new stars” in Congress, he won re-election to a second term in 1978 by the widest margin ever recorded in the fourth district. Last month, he won his party’s nomination to run for the U.S. Senate in the Indiana primary with over 75 per cent of the vote.

Problem” is another energy related film offered for programs of various kinds. This color slide program, accompanied by narration on cassette tape, lasts 12 minutes. It points to some considerations for using fuel alcohol produced from biomass. This film is also produced by Ohio State University. Another film, to be released shortly by the American Farm Bureau, goes into detail on the process and economics of producing and using fuel alcohol. This one lasts 25 minutes. These films are available for showing by contacting the natural resources department, Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc., 130 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, Ind. 46204.

Both sides consider issues in prolonged NIPSCo strike

Both management and labor are considering issues in the prolonged strike involving the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, now in its third week. Both sides in the heated and somewhat acrimonious strike went to the bargaining table at 1 p.m. Monday with a federal mediator, and again for a fourhour period on Tuesday. During these two sessions a number of issues were discussed, but no proposals were flatly accepted nor rejected, it was learned this morning. Both sides are taking under consideration the proposals and rejections of the other. A date for another meeting has been set, as Two houses entered, items stolen Area police officers are warning senior citizens in the Milford area who live alone to take extra caution at night and report anything suspicious to law enforcement authorities. Homes of two area women have been broken into in recent weeks. On June 9 the telephone wires at the home of Agatha Charlton, west of Milford, were cut while Mrs. Charlton was at home. The house was then entered and ransacked. Mrs. Charlton reported $55 was taken from her purse and she thinks some perscription medicine was taken from the house. On June 12 or 13 window glass on the upper story of the Priscilla Haab home at 421 East Fourth Street, Milford, was broken and entry was made. The house was ransacked. Taken was a coin collection and wallet and Miss Haab also thinks perscription drugs may have been taken from her home. The wallet has been discovered. Michael Barnett of the Indiana State Police and David Hobbs, Milford Marshal, investigated.

It happened . . . in Syracuse

10 YEARS AGO, JUNE 17,1970 Leon B. Weaver, son of Mr. and Mrs. Issac G. Weaver of Nappanee will address the Syracuse Wawasee Rotary club, Tuesday, June 23, at 12 noon. His presentation will describe the next major step in America’s space program — The Skylab 1 manned space station scheduled for launch in 1972. Over 30 youths participated in the bicycle rodeo Saturday morning at Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church parking lot, at Syracuse. Saturday, June 20, has been set for the official opening dedication at the fish hatchery site located at the east end of Wawasee as a public facility. Miss Sharon Frederick of Syracuse became the June bride of Steven Richcreek of r i North Webster in a double ring ceremony Saturday, June 13, at 2:30 in the afternoon in the Syracuse Church of God. Mrs. Cherrie Caldwell was pleasantly surprised Tuesday afternoon when employees of her Syracuse restaurant the Syracuse Case, held a party for her prior to closing time. 20 YEARS AGO, JUNE 16,1960 Pike from Wawasee and Syracuse lakes won prizes for the second week of the fishing contest which will continue through the season. None of the marked fish (tagged with 28 markers) fell for the lines that were put out for them, but the big pikes must have been hungry and were lured to the bait that put them at the top of the list of fish registered for the contest last week. Six members of the Syracuse High School cheerleading squad placed first in the cheerleading

Both the House and Senate approved the conference report on the budget Thursday night, marking the first time in 12 years that a balanced budget has been approved. Rep. Floyd Fithian, who voted for the report, said he was pleased with the passage but cautioned further fiscal discipline would be needed to keep the budget balanced. “Passage of this first budget resolution demonstrates that the Congressional budget process can work,” Fithian said. “But between now and September, when the Second Budget Resolution is considered, we re going to have to use unprecedented controls to keep the budget in line. If unemployment remains where it is or goes up the impact on the budget will be very adverse.” The vote in the House was 205 - 195; the Senate vote was 61-26. Congressman Floyd Fithian cosponsored a House resolution opposing a plan to withhold taxes on interest and divident income. “This plan would force persons in lower income tax brackets to file for refunds every year,” Fithian said. “This burden would fall particularly hard on senior

The community vacation Bible School which has been in session at the Syracuse School with an attendance of over 160 children will come to a close on Friday, June 17. 30 YEARS AGO. JUNE 16, 1950 In the past several years the Lakes have been patrolled by the State police in a boat furnished by the generous subscriptions of local businessmen and residents of Syracuse and Wawasee Lakes. This boat was eqiupped with resuscitator, diving equipment, and other safety items. The mere presence of this boat on the lakes was an influence for safety and “SANE” operation of all boats and persons using these waters. Due to lack of personnel and funds they have had to give up any regular patrol of these waters. An expensive and very capable boat is made available through the cooperation of those in fop Act About $500.00 is still needed to complete the construction of the Scout Cabin here, say Dr. Fred O. Clark and Laucks Xanders, who

She told police two lamps, a butter dish, a brown and purple colored carnival dish, a set of sugar and cream jars, several other jars and six cups and small plates were taken. Screens were cut on several windows and the back door of the home was forced open, according to Kosciusko County Patrolman Richard Monk.
