"Local sources are the dominate cause of acid rain in the Northeast.” Lugar said, “not Indiana and Midwestern coal. ” Lugar said his staff has been working with Dr. Kenneth Rahn, of the University of Rhode bland, and Dr. Ralph Perhac, of the Electric Power Research Institute. to review scientific studies they have made about the acid rain problem. "Doctors Rahn and Perhac. have evidence that the acid rain problem in the Northeast is not caused by Indiana coal,” Lugar said. "They concluded that the acid rain problem in the Northeast comes from sources in the Northeast, not the Midwest.” Lugar said that acid rain "is a major pollution problem in Canada and New England. Many lakes are dying because of it. But it's wrong to blame Indiana for the problem when scientific evidence proves otherwise. ” The Senator has joined with the United Mine Workers of Indiana and several Hoosier electric utility companies to strongly oppose a bill filed by Sens. George Mitchell (D-Maine) and Daniel Patrick Moynihan (DN.Y.) which blames Midwestern high sulfur coal for acid rain and calls for drastic reductions in its use. “If this bill passes, more than 5.000 Hoosiers miners would be thrown out of work," Lugar said. “Utility companies in the state would also be forced to use other fuels,” increasing consumer electric costs by as much as 50 per cent. This would have disastrous effects on the entire Indiana economy.” Lugar is co-sponsoring legislation which would step-up federal support for research into the acid rain problem. “We must have positive proof, not just speculation about acid rain,” Lugar said Chimney fire Milford Firemen were called to a fire at the home of Solomon Hedges at the intersection of CR 1250 N and 400 W Friday morning.

Expensive vacation

Dear Editor: In the "Parade ” section of March 7, 1982. South Bend paper. I read where the Reagans both flew to California. Air Force One. at the taxpayers expense again The figures for their two week vacation, and I quote, was $300,000. The cost of transporting was $5,221 per hour or $51,339 round trip. The government, or I should say the taxpayer, so far has spent $750,000 to install a communication center and secret service command post at their ranch. Reagan's budget cuts on social programs hurt the poor so much and still they have the gall to make these trips at their employer's expense It’s just to . bad we can’t fire him. But then it Appreciation shown Dear Editor: I'd like to take this opportunity to show appreciation to several young men from our community for their help in running the Youth Center Basketball program. They’ve been helping out at Syracuse for the past several years, giving of their time and knowledge. I’m sure they get much of their reward from seeing these young boys and girls improve from year to year, but I feel they deserve more than that In behalf of all the kids that have taken part in the program. I extend our sincere appreciation to Max Sumpter. Mark Sumpter and Bob Sylvester. Jim Gamer

seems they don’t have a conscience My husband and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in 15 years and I sincerely hope and pray we can save from our Social Security checks enough to allow us a trip to California to visit our son and family, whom we haven't seen since he made an emergency trip home in 1979 to attend the funeral of his youngest brother. If we had millionaire friends, like the Reagans, we would probably have no trouble going to visit bur son Reagans, do you have any idea how your expensive trips affect the thinking of the poor man who pays for them, when they can't even afford the luxury of a Saturday matinee movie for their children or a Sunday trip to a local zoo or park? Maybe, if we ever do get to take that trip, to visit our son in California, we will be able to afford an economical lawnmower to cut our grass when we return home. If we are able to also buy the gasoline to operate it. Oh yes. happy anniversary Reagans, and watch that big riding mower, you could get your big fat egos caught in it. Laura McClintic 6215.
