Cromwell losing school, hope to use cafeteria

Although the community of Cromwell regrets the loss of the elementary school, which will soon be moving to its new building out of town, residents hope some good will come from the change. Delbert Linn, president of the town board, said the board will negotiate with the West Noble School Board this year to obtain future use of the relatively new cafeteria at the deteriorating elementary school. Linn hopes the cafeteria, which was built in 1963. and will not be torn down with the much older school building, can be transformed into a community building Another detriment to Cromwell may be the forthcoming move of the state police post out of Ligonier, and with.it the possible move of the truck weighing scales on US 6. The town board president says some people fear the move of the state police

Farm Bureau Insurance in Syracuse since 1972

Farm Bureau Insurance, an Indiana Insurance company, expanded its offices to Syracuse in 1972 The local office is located at the comer of SR 13 and Bowser Road, south of Syracuse Farm Bureau Insurance is a multi line agency In the opinion of Joe Streeter, since the office opened in 1972. the agency insures more people per capita in the area. He added the office has been successful and there is a great clientel relationship Working in the Syracuse Office is Harley Chalk, with six years experience; Robert Rohlfing, with one-year experience; and Sally Shivley, office secretary. The reason an office was placed in Syracuse was due to the outcome of a survey which showed that 85 per cent of the potential growth was in the northeastern quarter of the county. Also that the surrounding townships, provided the biggest part of growth Another purpose for the Syracuse branch was to pick up the biggest share of clients in the northeastern part of the county Clients

Putting America Back On Its Feet

There's a new sense of need, of pride, of wanting to pull our country together and make it work again. Here, a writer for Perspectives. a publication from the Pennzoil Company, takes a look at the current course of action targeted to reverse our economic decline, and the part ur Americans play m it In recent years, the United States has not been much of a country for consensus. But some of that seems to be changing and last year a public-opinion survey found 90 percent agreement that the American economy was “seriously off on the wrong track.” But a consensus that we need to do something is merely a shared uneasiness. To have any heft, a consensus must be a consensus to do something specific. . .to follow a particular program, to pursue a defined goal. And the suggested programs are as numerous as they are diverse. Many see the answer in less government and insist that the solution must be wide ranging and all-encom

post to Bremen may encourage crime in the area If the Ligonier scales, on US 6. also move to Bremen it would mean a big loss in traffic violation business in the Cromwell Town Court. Last summer the city began a project to have its water tower cleaned and restored for approximately $5,000 However, the company contracted by the city to do the work was fired because it attempted to increase the cost of the job. Linn said the project will be resumed this summer with a new company. Unlike most towns throughout Indiana, Cromwell has maintained its trash collection service. Linn said, however, the decision on continuation of the service will be held from year to year. In 1981 Cromwell doubled the size of its Community Park. In the future a baseball diamond and other facilities will be built on the four acre addition.

which are served by Farm Bureau's Syracuse office are within a 20-25 mile radius of Syracuse. Farm Bureau Insurance, which has at least one office in every county throughout the state, started in Kosciusko County by rending space in the Farm Bureau Co-op building in Warsaw. In 1965 the insurance company built an office at 525 E Center Street, but due to growth of the company a new office was built in 1979 at the intersection of CR 200N and US 30. The main office of Farm Bureau Insurance is at 130 E. Washington St . Indianapolis. Farm Bureau keeps on growing and developing. For the last seven years. Farm Bureau Insurance agents have been using computers and recently, in the state, went to the IBM computer system All policies are placed in the computer memory and are kept up to date daily. At the close of the business day the files are brought up to date, giving the agents the ability to provide better service.

passing. Some see the answrj in trade policy, some in' technology, some in monetary and fiscal policy, some in tax reform, some in setting national economic priorities. Others say it will require a new “social contract”; some look to regulatory reform; others emphasize reductions in federal spending. revamping the minimum wage Whatever the name, the subject remains How to put America back on its. feet. Though the battles still rage and the questions about our future remain largely unanswered. the Reagan Administration has embarked on a course ot action it believes will reverse the decline of America. • First, a sharp reduction in the rate of growth of J"ederal spending

• Second, major tax rate reductions to restore savings, capital formation and productivity. • Third, elimination of unnecessary regulations and streamlining of those that are necessary. • Fourth, a steady decline in the rale of mopey growth, in order to reduce inflation and stabilize financial markets. Action on many of the proposals has been surprisingly swift, with unexpected Congressional support for tax and spending cuts, regulatory reform, and business incentives. And already there are signs the efforts are paying off. Inflation rates have slowed, the value of the dollar has increased and people seem to sense there is change in the making. But the job is far from done And only individual Americans can see it through by standing up for what they believe in and taking pride in their work, their country and themselves.
