31.264 feet. The area to the south of the property will be used for parking and storage area. The major question the BZA will consider is another tract of

ground, listed at 8,238 square feet. If the BZA allows this land to be figured into the square footage allotment, then the project will be within the requirements. Richard said the BZA can decide to do this. “If the property is used in conjunction with the other property, such as a storage area, then the board can justify use of the other tract of ground.” he said. The plans call for the condominium project to utilize an existing concrete block building as a storage area. If Todd says he has no plans for the extra parcel, if he allows the property to stand empty, for example, then Richard would have trouble, in the validity of Todd’s square footage claim before the BZA.

Street. The Syracuse BZA will have to decide whether or not to allow a 12-foot setback from the shoreline. County law says it must be 35 feet, but the Syracuse BZA has the power to grant a variance if it so chooses.

Adult education makes an impact

The Warsaw Area Adult Education Center began its second year on July 1,1982. under the administration of Youth Opportunities. Inc. As of December 31. 1982, 231 students had registered for instruction which represents an increase over last year of 50 per cent. Specific education goals include preparation for testing of the General Education Department certificate (high school diploma equivalency), proficiency in English through the English as a Second Language program (ESL) and instruction in such other areas as consumer economics, em-

ployability and job seeking skills, career awareness, government and law, through the Adult Performance Level (APL) program. The local impact information is sometimes difficult to compile for many reasons, and can generally be considered a low estimation of actual results. Once students achieve their personal •objective and withdraw from the center, the program is not always informed as to their further accomplishments realized as a direct result of participating in the Adult Basic Education programs. However, it is known that during 1981-82, 22 individuals received a GED, 12 enrolled in another training or educational program as a direct result of ABE, 12 obtained a job, two were upgraded in their existing positions and four individuals received driver’s license for the first time. Annual reports indicate for the year 1981-82 combined cost for the programs, including local and federal dollars, were approximately $5 million but that the economic impact generated

was more than $8 million. Adult education is often a necessary first step in any work retraining program. Studies indicate that up to one-fourth of the adult population may lack reading, math and other basic skills to such a degree that they cannot handle job training programs. The Indiana Council of Adult Education Administrators and other adult education groups have requested an increase in funding from the Indiana General Assembly to cover additional teacher costs. If the funding is granted, an estimated 11,000 new enrollments will be accommodated in the next year.

TODAY’S QUESTION: What do you think of the new US Football League? Results of last week’s question: Should religious institutions that own commercial property be taxexempt? I think churches need all the help they can get ... I just don’t know what to say ... That’s a pretty big question but I think they should ... No, because I don’t think it’s right... I don’t hardly know what to say about that ... I think it would depend on what kind of commercial property it was ... I don’t know ... Well, if they have a lot of money I suppose they could pay taxes, but if they don’t, I just don’t know what to say . . . Churches should be tax-exempt but not those that are running a business on the sideline... I guess so.

Hiler introduces child abuse prevention month

The House Post Office and Civil Service Committee today approved legislation introduced by Congressman John Hiler authorizing the president to designate April as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The bill. House Joint Resolution 22, has 227 co-sponsors and is expected to be approved by the House of Representatives on Wednesday (today), he said. The companion bill. Senate Joint Resolution 21, was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday. Hiler said he introduced the bill to help the efforts of volunteer child abuse organizations such as Parents Anonymous of Saint Joseph County, CANCO of South Bend, and the New Day Center of Elkhart. “There is a lack of local and national awareness of just how serious child abuse is,” Hiler said. “Five thousand children were literally killed by their parents or parent-surrogates last year. Some two million children are victimized by child abuse

Court news

The following fines have been levied and paid in the Goshen City Court. Speeding — Carl Meditch, 46, Syracuse. $43; Greta C. Hurd, 18, Milford, S3B Vice president appears in Indy Vice President George Bush has accepted an invitation to speak at the June 20 Republican Statewide fund raising dinner in Indianapolis. Vice President and Mrs. Bush will be honored at a reception in the Indiana Convention Center’s 500 Ballroom before the dinner. Tickets will be available in several weeks from the Republican State Committee and from GOP county chairmen. Bush has traveled widely since his election in 1980 having just returned from Europe where he met with leaders of NATO for talks to reinforce and preserve the group’s unity. Politically, in 1982, Bush stumped for various GOP candidates during the campaign. His visit to Indiana will be the second he has made to the state in less than a year. Last October, he was here to campaign for congressional candidates. State GOP chairman, Gordon K. Dumil. said Bush’s appearance will boost the party’s fund raising efforts this year. The annual state dinner, the largest single fund-raising event Republicans hold, usually attracts 2,500 people. “Vice President Bush is well respected among ' Hoosier Republicans. He’s done an excellent job of helping carry out the policies set by President Reagan. We’re pleased he has accepted our invitation,” Durnil said.

every year.” Hiler said the bill’s quick approval was the result of a “bipartisan awareness of the problem and the desire to bring this national tragedy to an end. “There is also an awareness that we can no longer afford to just throw money at the problem and hope it will go away,” he added. “The best way to bring this problem to an end is to increase its awareness and promote one of our nation’s great resources — dedicated volunteers." He noted that it cost largely volunteer groups about $75 to service a family with a child abuse problem, while public welfare, agencies 'cost about $1,500 to help the same family. Hiler said the legislation would help ensure the success of a nationwide conference on Child Abuse Awareness in the Eighties, which he, Parents Anonymous, the Swanson Center of LaPorte County and other child abuse organizations are sponsoring.
