HOLIDAY TRIMMINGS: BE FESTIVE AND SAFE The tree, lighting, and decorations are all part of the Christmas and New Year holidays. Safety is also another important part sometimes overlooked in the busy days preceding the festivities. The BBB’s checklist of Christmas recommendations includes these smart shopping and safety tips: • When buying a tree check the tree for freshness by bending a needle between your thumb and index finger. The needle should form a.U-shape without breaking; it should spring back straight after you release the bending pressure. • It sou choose a natural Chnstmas tree keep it tresh for the entire holiday period by sawing about 1 inch off the base of the tree before putting it into the stand. Then keep the water reservoir filled to the brim on a daily basis.' • 1 ocate the tree away from doorways and stairways and main household traffic patterns. If a fire should start, exit paths won’t be blocked. • Never trim the tree with candles. Lights with the Underwriters’ Laboratory (LIL) listing should be used. Check the insulation on the wires. If you find bare spots, wrap them with electrician’s tape. or. better, buy new lights. • I se only exterior lights outside and make sure they are connected to outlets made for outdoor use. Be sure all lights are turned off before you leave the house or go to bed • Don’t burn Christmas wrappings and the used Christmas tree in the fireplace or wood stove. The paper and tree make a very hot flash fire which can ignite creosote build-up in chimneys causing serious damage.
Letters to the editor
Writer puzzled
Dear Editor: This is in reference to the Faith Assembly child, Leah Mudd. It’s really puzzling to me that this community cares so little about its people. Or do they, but are afraid to say anything publicly? I believe they care. Just as the person who cared enough to call the authorities about the Mudd girl. Thank God something was done about it. Or who knows what would have happened! Surely the Mudd family knows all too well that God needs their help in seeking a physician that will help carry out His will. That’s why He put doctors on this earth. Physicians mend; only God heals. Three years ago after returning home from Riley (Hospital in Indianapolis) with my cancerstricken daughter after almost four months of spinal taps, bone marrow exams, numerous surgeries, radiation and everything else that goes with a life threatening situation, I picked up the paper and read about the death of, the first cancer-stricken child. I was horrified? How they could sit and do nothing to help their child after it was quite clear their prayers weren't being answered is beyond me. I prayed for my daughter and encouraged her to think positive that everything was going to be alright if we trust in the Lord and the doctor and nurses. And without them and the kind people who cared so much to give her life giving blood and our family’s prayer, she wouldn’t be the healthy girl she is today. In remission, off drugs and still praying. If we would have denied treatment for our daughter and taken her to Mexico or someplace, we could have been
A call to civic pride
Dear Editor: Since appearing in “Cruzin Around ’Cuse” some time ago I feel compelled to express publicly my exact and sincere opinion regarding the building of a new town hall. I am 100% behind the building of a new, fine building — one of which we as citizens can be proud. Also, one which will be adequate not only now but for years to come. If this can be done for $300,000. fine, but if it takes $600,000 or more. OK. but build it right. Let this be an asset to the community, one to which we can point with pride — one that will provide ail the necessities and some luxuries to the people Court news "" w CIRCUIT COURT Petition Ronald L. Hibschman vs Michael L. Miner, prosecuting attorney of Kosciusko County; C. Alan Rovenstine, „ sheriff. Michael M. Packard, commissioner of Motor Vehicles for the State of Indiana. Plaintiff has filed a petition to receive a restricted driving permit based on the fact a court order in August suspended his drivers license for one year and it is creating an undue hardship on his family and his self.

prosecuted But yet a cult member’s child can get by on religious belief. It’s not fair. All children should have the right to the best medical care that is available, a right to live. Surely the Mudds realize after losing one child, that if Rev. Freeman was in half the condition their daughter Leah was in, he would have sought medical treatment. I believe God is trying to tell you something. Something is definitely wrong with Rev. Freeman’s teaching, to me he’s another Jim Jones. ’’Don’t do as I do, do as I say.” He tells you what to do and w„at not to do. To ignore those who don’t believe as you do, even your parents who love you! He tells you not to read the newspapers because they’re the work of the devil as is anyone or anything that doesn't go along with his beliefs! What he’s really worried about is being exposed and then having the members see the light! He has a plush home, very expensive car, planes, a motor home to name a few of his luxuries. Who’s paying for these luxuries? People like the Mudds that have fallen for his false teaching at the {rice of already one child. People of the community, let's join together to expose this man to one and all before we have another Jim Jones situation on our hands. Remember what happened to his poor followers! Let’s stand up for rights of children to have medical help when needed. Don’t they have any rights? Let’s urge our state legislature to do something now before it’s too late. I pray that the Mudd girl lives and has a wonderful life ahead of her and that her parents finally see the light. A person who cares
working there and to the people who will be patronizing the facilities. I am not in favor of the cheapest ("this will do” or "we can do without this") type of building. While it is being built, build it right. We have the finest community for miles around, not because of our tax rate but mainly because of our lakes. The people living here are not here because it is the cheapest place to live nor for the low tax rages. (We do have one of the lowest tax rates in the state.) They are here because of the lakes, our schools, and all the fine things this community has to offer. They don’t buy the cheapest cars, the cheapest suits of clothes, dresses, shoes or horffes Do we have to settle for the cheapest town hall? Where is our civic pride? Syracuse has never had a post office building that compares favorably with many of those of surrounding communities. We got a new post office about 30 years ago. It was “a cheapie” and not worth a plugged nickel from day one. Now a new one, and it certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Use that old post office building that was inadequate 30 years ago for a town hall? Heaven forbid! Where is our civic pride? Recently I noticed a group of people, most of whom signed a petition for a $300,000 limit for a town hall, having drinks, dinner, a night out on the town. This is fine, but their bill for this night out would have covered the amount of additional taxes for one year as a result of a new town facility. Maybe some of the more affluent ones would have to forgo a second night out to make up their difference in taxes. Let me suggest you check with the assessor and find out exactly what your cost will be before signing a petition to limit the cost of this new building I hear that if our taxes are raised because of building a town hall of merit, new factories will not want to locate here. If all they are looking for is a low tax rate, and don’t appreciate our school

system and the many, many other advantages our community has to offer, then we don’t need them and don’t want them. Commodore Corp, didn’t locate here because of the tax rate but because of the lakes; others will too. Dana Corporation has stated that if they should leave here it would not be because of an increase in their taxes. Why can’t our dedicated police department have the best money can buy? Where is our civic pride? The town of Syracuse is almost 150 years old. The town has never had an adequate place for the town board to hold meetings, either private or public, and to conveniently carry out their duties and provide us with the necessary services. I can recall town boards meeting in one room, shared with other users, in the basement of the old school house. Then in an old garage building with room for one small desk and about six chairs shared with the fire department. Then an old remodeled house; then an outdated, abandoned factory building. Why can’t we have a fine town hall? Where is our civic pride? I travel five states and visit many small communities such as ours. The majority of these towns have either a community building, civic hall or public building of some sort. You’d be surprised how plush most of these buildings are and how well kept. Why do they have something like
Church organization promotes immorality?
Dear Editor: L Bishop Armstrong. President of the National Council of Churches (NCC), was the guest speaker at the Nappanee United Methodist Church recently. It’s regrettable that the NCC supports abortion, homosexual rights. ERA. forced busing, disarmament. It opposes prayer and Bible reading in public schools. Christian schools, death penalty. The Free Enterprise, etc. They do all this under the name of a so-called religious organization. God forbid! “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;...” (Isaiah 5:20). From the abundance of information available concerning Bishop Armstrong’s views, policies, and goals of the NCC and its parent organization, the World Council of Churches (WCC); it’s unfortunate that NCC Church members don’t adher to God's Word, “. . for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? . . . — Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the L0rd....” (II Cor. 6:14-17). Bishop Armstrong has stated he could live under Communist rule. Perhaps I could buy him a one-way ticket to Russia, to live as the average Russian, to prove his statement. All church members belonging to a church, that belongs to NCC are participants of the immorality, which they are

this and Syracuse, after 150 years, does not? I’ll tell you why: they work together and cooperate with one another. They have civic pride! I could go on and one. Having lived here all my life, I have seen and heard so much bickering, arguing, fighting and noncooperation among the various groups of townspeople and those of the outlying areas. It is tar past the time when we should all get together, work together and get this job done. Praise in place of finding fault. Offer to help instead of constant criticism. The town board is our elected body. They work hard, give of their time and of themselves. A thankless job which few people want. This is not an extravagant board, nor do they throw our money away. Let’s get behind them, give them our support, help to get a town hall built that will meet our needs, now and for the future. Let’s stop this and get the job done — done right. Not a $300,000 cheapie nor another remodeled abortion. There is a group of people organized to do just this and I am behind them all the way, and am going to do all I can to help them, even if my taxes will go up. I HAVE CIVIC PRIDE Sincerely, L. James Butt P.S.: I recognize and respect the right of anyone and everyone to express their own opinion. The above is mine. — JB
promoting. May I remind you, the lack of absolute morals, which God’s Word does teach, leads td the lack of character, integrity, honesty, respect, etc. God’s Word says. Christians are the salt of the earth. Salt being a flavoring and preservative. Therefore, shouldn't Christians be flavoring the earth with Righteousness — not Unrighteousness (sin). Also. Christians are the light of the world, to do good works in order to glorify God, (Matt. 5:13-17). May I ask you. by continually banning God and His Word from public education, etc. which the NCC support, what basis would students and adults alike have to determine right from wrong? Therefore, shouldn’t we expecpr continual decrease in character, integrity, etc., which will lead to higher crime rate, etc. For more information, concerning the NCC policies, please send a stamped, se«faddressed envelope to me.
