Letters to the editor —

Dear Editor: We need to consider some of our big problems 1. The plight of our food producers vs. tariffs, embargos. etc. The Big Depression came after fanners were bankrupt! One-third of U.S. labor force is directly connected for farm products and supplies, etc. Farm debts are astronomical* Farm exports are paid only from buyers' sales! Cutting car imports brings loss of income for our farmers. Our dairy farms rising costs have doubled their slight rises in income! Dairy subsidies really equal the value of our dairy imports! Same with meat imports — subsidies! Farmers must have help in natural disasters! 2 Chrysler's workers accepted severe cuts in wages. What cuts were taken by officials in business, industry, politics — or even the War Deptartment?? 3 Let’s economize in energy production via renewable, safe, natural resources. Hitter produced 17.000 barrels of oil daily! Can't we match that — in our technology’’? Nuclear production is killing and radiating our people daily! Note the high radiation-induced cancer rate in people near our uranium mining processing! Remember the 100’s of break

downs/accidents/shutdowms in our nuclear plants in recent years! TMI will be long remembered — and there are more to come! The multi-billions of tax dollars sunk on nuclear power and bombs, could have served our citizens far better through renewable resources for energy sources! 4. Our family farms, producing food and fibre with a minimum of fossil-fuel energy, need encouragement to stay alive’ The foreign-owned and large corporate farms have no concern for the community or the public. U.S. has the lowest food ? dollar cost of any country, based on 17 per cent of take-home pay! Farmers share is about onefourth of that! 5. Really, won’t our poor and minorities suffer?? Remember the suffering of our Indians from the depredations of our cartels! U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs needs investigation! 6 U.S. policy must consider human needs. THe horrors of Pol Pot. El Salvadore and Korea surely deserve great efforts towards peace. We have only one world! 7. Our youth deserve consideration, guidance and opportunity for peaceful living!

8. Public recreation and wildlife areas must be preserved for our future citizens! 9. The gross waste in War Department must be eliminated — if our economy is important!

Take time to write

Dear Editor: If you cringe every month when opening your NIPSCo utility bill, or if you cringe as you are writing the check to pay for it. then you will want to join me and many others in protest to the 13.3 per cent increase in electric rates requested by NIPSCo. If you don't think you have the time to participate in opposing c this request, then perhaps the following facts will jolt you out of silence: 1) NIPSCo’s last rate hike was only eight months ago. On August 27, 1980, they put an 11 per cent electric rate hike into effect. 2) We currently pay approximately 55 per cent more for the same number of kilowatts used by an I & M customer. Example: With NIPSCo. 1.000 KWH cost a base of K 4.07. With I & M, the same I.OOQiKWH base rate is only $39.20. 3) NIPSCo’s request to the PSC did not mention that its 4,000 plus employees asked that the millions of dollars saved in wages during the eight month strike be used to reduce future rate

increases. NIPSCo is pretending that they did not accrue a large reserve of monies from wages they did not have to pay. In fact, if they are allowed this 13.3 per cent increase, in essence every NIPSCo employee is paying for his own salary increase. Please take the time to write a letter of opposition or to circulate a petition entitled “Petition of Protest to NIPSCO’s 13.3 per cent Rate Increase Request”, getting both signatures and addresses. You may send same to Mr. Larry J. Wallace. Chairman of the Public Service Commission, 901 State Office Building. Indianapolis. Ind. 46204. Thank you Win Stroufe I agree... Dear Editor: I certainly agree with Bill Beemer concerning school teachers. When I was in school, teachers smoked but not in view of the students. Some teachers swore but never before the students. I had an English teacher who stated that the use of profanity or slang was caused by lack of a good vocabulary. Listen to coaches at games and training sessions. Teachers dress and appearance was an example for students to foUow when seeking employment. Some teachers dress like, and look like, old fashioned hippies Teachers not only encourage pupils to exercise the mind but are examples to students to present a wholesome appearance. Like so many unions, a teachers union will, in the name of freedom, bring these professional people (so-called) to the low standard of postal employees Claude A. Boland Dirt bikes ore stolen Two dirt bikes were reported stolen in Syracuse beginning in early March. Pat Parker of Syracuse reported the theft of a Black Perel dirt bike with a number 99 on the front on March 1. The bike disappeared between 8 p m on Saturday, Feb. 28, and 6 p.m. Sunday. March 1. The bike was later found across from her home. Donna Smith, 113 W. Main, Syracuse, reported the theft of a Black Perel dirt bike that was unlocked in her backyard March 2. Estimated value was SIOO. It was recovered and returned to the owner.

j Report from your | I State Representative I THAMES MAUZY

“Tick-tock” is a phrase used by jounalists for a story detailing the chronology leading up to a major event. Since the budget bills are expected to be the major items on our House calendar next week, it would seem timely to use this column as “tick tock” of the budget process, as our legislative clock moves toward that hour. As early as September, preparations were underway for the first phase of the budget process with meetings of the five member budget committee, which consists of both legislative and executive branch members. , This cooperative committee is unique to Indiana, with other states having either an executive budget prepared and introduced by the Governor, or a legislative budget prepared and introduced by legislators, or separate budgets from both. - In Indiana, each state agency runs in budget requests to the committee, the requests are analyzed, a hearing is conducted, and the agency explains its programs, services and performance in terms of dollars and cents. In making its report, the budget committee balances expected income through tax collection against agencyreq ue st s, and recommends spending levels in the form of budget bills for introduction in the legislature. Now we are involved in the second step of the process, or the

Film on rape survival to be shown at Syracuse

The Wawasee American Legion Auxiliary 223 will offer the film “How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive” to anyone interested on March 24 at 7 p.m. in the Legion hall on SR 13. Syracuse. All community members are invited to attend the free movie. A carry-in birthday dinner is set for 1 p.m. <mi Sunday, March 22, at the Post for Legion members. This is an annual get together sponsored by the Auxiliary. Gus Liske of the Legion Eric Coburn to WPD Eric Cobum. Syracuse resident and former reserve officer for the Syracuse Police Department, started his probationary period with the Warsaw Police Department on March 1. Cobum will spend one year on probation with the city police as a patrolman before being accepted as a regular city officer. i He was accepted into the WPD in February following his appearing before a review board and five other city police officers He was chosen one of the top two men who had applied. Along with accepting the new position. Cobum must move into the Warsaw area. Warsaw Police Lt. John Lehman stated he must move closer to Warsaw, but not necessarily into the city limits. If Coburn does not move in the city limits, his place of residency must be approved by the WarsawBoard of Works and Warsaw Mayor P. E. (Mike) Hodges Cobum has until March 1,1982, to find a place of residence in the Warsaw area Cobum will receive a yearly salary of $12,685 92 as a probationary officer and $13,724.03 per year as a regular officer.

adoption stage. The third and final step is execution of the budget as adopted by the legislature That is, the executive branch implements the spending policy of the General Assembly. If we proceed on schedule, at the publication of this column the House will have met as a “committee erf the whole” to take action on the appropriations levels adopted by the ways and means committee. That simply means all 100 House members will be allowed greater freedom to debate the budget than usual. While the ways and means committee has the greatest opportunity to review the budget, line by line, and possibly reorder it to correspond with citizen priorities, each legislator can also amend the documents by altering the funding levels. After moving through the same process in the Senate, the budget bills are returned to the House for “concurrence”, or acceptance of any changes made by the Senate. Generally, the House does not automatically > accept the changes, and the budget is put into a conference committee where representatives of both houses and both policitcal parties must negotiate until the product is acceptable to all. When the conference committee report is accepted, the bills are sent to the Governor, who must approve of each bill intact, because he has no line item veto.
