A brief look at the political scene
INDIANA POLITICS are older than the state itself, according to Indiana University historian Donald F. Carmony. The second stage of territorial government, which called for the establishment of a legislature comprised of two houses, bagan October 29,1798. The lower house, or territorial assembly, was elected by adult free males who owned at least 50 acres of land. From a list of assembly members who owned at least 500 acres, 10 names were sent to the President of the United States who selected five to comprise the upper house, or the legislative council. Henry Vanderburg of Vincennes was among those selected by the President, and he was then chosen president of the council. The territorial legislature met September 24, 1799, to organize. About a week later the body elected William Henry Harrison to be the first delegate to Congress from the Northwest Territory. —o— JOHN HILLENBRAND, Democratic candidate for Governor, participated in the Public Action in Correctional Effort Forum in Indianapolis recently. Stressing rehabilitation of criminal offenders, Hillenbrand said, “Our institutions are facing a serious problem of overcrowding. Inmates are ‘backing up’ in the system, and habitual criminals are in daily contact with first offenders. We are unable to offer hope to those offenders who want to improve their education and skills, serve their sentences in a productive manner, and take a responsible position in society upon their parole. “A long-term program for rehabilitation is needed. It only makes good economic sense that putting offenders back into useful and productive roles in society instead of creating a professional criminal class is fiscally and socially responsible.’’ Hillenbrand added, “The public safety must be our highest priority, but those offenders who demonstrate the inner motivation to improve their lives must be provided the oportunity.” At a South Bend press conference held jointly with State Representatives Mike Phillips and Dick Bodine, Hillenbrand reiterated his industrial strategy for Indiana, saying, “The main distinction between the leadership I offer in economic development and the leadershipoffered by my opponent is my plan for an industrial strategy. The strategy includes an on-going information system to analyze Indiana’s economic base, a method to target industries desirable to Indiana, and a system to create incentives to attract the targeted industries.” Hillenbrand added, “We must also study on a national basis those fast growth industries that do not show up on our target list but that would be particularly interested in Indiana. tRcF IT'S TIME TO 1 I GET READY FOR WINTER!

A REPUBLICAN plan that would create thousands of jobs in Indiana and help expand the variety of jobs available within the state has won the endorsement of State Senator John B. AUgsburger of Syracuse. Augsburger, a candidate for re-election, endorsed the 10 point OrrMutz job creation and economic development plan and said: “This comprehensive plan will help diversify Indiana’s economy and business climate and lead to the creation of thousands of new jobs through the expansion of existing industries and the location of new firms within the state.“ Augsburger concluded, “While these programs may seem technical, they are the exact steps we need to take to keep our state’s economy afloat and to keep it relatively immune from the effects of national economic problems. These are the types of programs I support as they will lead to the creation of new jobs, and I look forward to working with the new Administration in seeing them enacted. —O'STATE SENATOR Ernie Niemeyer, the Republican Candidate for Congress in the Second District, recently announced a series of major fund raising events to be held in October. Niemeyer campaign aides, working under the direction of Campaign Manager Jeff H. Smith, finalized plans for the special events during a district-wide Niemeyer for Congress staff meeting in Niemeyer’s Lowell campaign headquarters. Niemeyer said three nationally known Republicans will serve as Keynote speakers at three separate functions slated for October. Niemeyer outlined the following schedule (October 9 — Niemeyer will be recognized at a fund raising event in Boswell at the Benton County Fairgrounds. Earl Butz, former Secretary of Agriculture will be the speaker. October 15 — Rep. John Myers (R - Seventh District) will be featured speaker at a reception to honor Ernie Niemeyer. October 18 — Rep Bud Hillis (R - Fifth District) will be featured speaker at a reception to be held in Niemeyer’s honor at the Valparaiso Country Club in Porter County.
Letters to the editor
Where were they . . .
Dear Editor: I am sorry to say that I was not a subscriber to your fine newspaper at the time the dismantling of the Yellow Banks Resort Hotel began, consequently I do not know if there was any kind of article concerning the event at the time. I have noticed, however, that since the run of the photo article not too long ago there has been an unending string of letters saying basically “Yeah, it sure was nice, too bad it’s gone.” My question is, where were all of these persons when the tragedy was taking place? Just as tragic is the fact that the other area hotels are also gone. The South Shore Inn’s (please correct me if I’m wrong) demise was

unavoidable due to the fact that it was consumed by fire. On the other hand, the removal of the Yellow Banks Resort Hotel was very avoidable. I’m sure that the owners of it at the time the disassembly began would disagree with me on this, stating probably that it was costing them more money than it was worth. I’m sure, however, that the people of the Lakeland area would have rallied to the support of the stately old structure, and would have refused to let it be razed through restoration and renovation efforts. It’s a pity that we won’t get a chance now to find out. Thank you for your time. Steven Prange

$2,500 must take “affirmative action” to hire handicapped people. This covers more than just hiring, however. “Affirmative action” also covers job assignments, promotions, training, transfers, working conditions and terminations. Under Section 504, every institution in the United States which gets Federal financial assistance must take steps to assure that handicapped people are not discriminated against in employment. Included are schools, colleges, hospitals, nursing homes, social services agencies and other institutions and establishments. The difference between Sections 503 and 504 is that 503 calls for “affirmative action” while Section 504 calls for “nondiscrimination.” The Viet Nam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act states that every employer with a Federal Government contract of SIO,OOO or more must taken “affirmative action” to hire disabled veterans of all wars and all veterans of the Viet Nam era. The three programs ensure that employers may no longer screen out handicapped people simply because of their disabilities
