Letters to the editor
Was it by choice?
Dear Editor: Hang in there you sleepy, tired and overworked NIPSCo foremen. You did a good job on getting the electric on in some locations. Altho there were wires in fallen trees and customer’s working around them, it had to make the company look good, for the fast, efficient service. That’s safety first at NIPSCo. Let’s hope all the men have training in electric, especially the ones that work on the gas. Will NIPSCo pay enough to afford a burial? There are still lines hanging on Parkway Drive. Are they live or dead? Who cares. On with the electricity. , Formen, maybe after the strike you can enjoy your beds.

recreation and families, if this lasts until September and you make it. The company was so poor our medical insurance was cancelled by them. Since we are the best paid around, we all can afford SB2 a month, can’t we? Was it by choice the men had to strike? Well again, the company wants to take the benefits back that were already gained on the old contract. Seems they, the company, get their price hikes when wanted. The men at NIPSCo have to wait at least three years before they get a raise. Just hope we get enough out of this to pay our utility bills or off with the electricity. Myrtle Patterson Wife of striker

Six injured as cars collide
A two-car accident between Syracuse and North Webster injured six persons Thursday. July 3, at 12:45 p.m. The accident was at the intersection of CR 1000 N and CR 500E. Four of the six persons were transported to Goshen Hospital. Injured were drivers of both vehicles, Randy O. Larson. 17, Millersburg and Steve McCalman, 28, 612 South Main St., Syracuse, and passengers in each auto. Larson was admitted to Goshen Hospital with a possible skull fracture, multiple lacerations Garage fire started by 10-year-old A 10-year-old youngster was the cause of a July 3 garage fire at 44 North Huntington St., Syracuse. The boy was playing at the home of Charlene Galloway with matches and gasoline. After the fire was extinguished, the Syracuse fire chief talked to the youth on the dangers of fire. White-collar crime angers public A new survey has found that if the American people had their way, public officials convicted of white-collar crimes would be paying much higher prices that they do now. The survey of 60,000 crosssection Americans was conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Studies in Criminology and Criminal Law. The participants were asked to rate a number of different crimes based on their seriousness. Here are a few of the comparisons that emerged: A lawmaker's selling his or her vote for SIO,OOO was seen as being a more serious crime than the burglary of a bank for SIOO,OOO or robbery at gunpoint in which the victim needed medical treatment. Illegal price-fixing by a company was viewed as more serious than a personal robbery in which the assailant intimidates the victim with a lead pipe and steals SI,OOO. And factory pollution of a city’s water supply, resulting in one person becoming ill, was considered twice as serious as breaking into a home and stealing SIOO.

Res 366. which urges the adjustment of government policies to help the auto industry sell cars abroad. Fithian also has cosponsored legislation by Indiana Ist District Rep. Adam Benjamin to prohibit the sale of Soviet autos in the U.S, as long as U.S. export controls to that country are in effect Fithian has called for immediate bilateral talks with the Japanese to improve trade relations and has worked directly with Japanese officials to convince them to increase their production in this country, using American workers and steel. "We need action from the Japanese, not talk," Fithian said. "Last month Japanese share of the auto market here hit a high of 23 per cent. We can’t continue to export jobs to Japan . " A major bill to amend the federal grain inspection system was approved by the House Agriculture Committee this week, 34 - 3. The bill, which was strongly supported by Rep. Floyd Fithian, permits grain delivered to export elevators by any means other than barge to be transferred into the elevator without weighing. "This bill could save literally millions of dollars over the years by decreasing the cost of placing grain in storage,” Fithian said. "I will be working to help get this bill through the House.”
