Syracuse-Wawasee residents: Today (July 26) someone rip-
ped out a large bouquet of petunias from the Stout Boutique’s pot and left than to wither and die upon the sidewalk. Another incident this morning was discovered at Railroad park where a cement picnic table had been laboriously dismantled and a portion thrown into the channel This took a great deal of effort (and some specialized tods) on some husky-sized people’s parts! It took Joe Dock and Bob Houser both to lift the table top back into place and reset the long screws. It appears that if the parties doing the deeds would put their expertise to good use, this town could be picked up, tidied, painted and fixed up to a point where community pride would shine forth! As it is, many businesses have developed a “why bother?” approach to beautifying — or simply repairing — their areas. What can one person do? Start with YOU. Use the trash containers rather than the sidewalks or flowerpots — encourage your friends, family and acquaintances to do the same. If you see someone ruining something, at least frown so that they’re aware of your disapproval. Protect other’s property and expect them
to do the same for you. This attitude is one which builds positively. Take pride in Our Town — ’cause if you don’t, who wiU? Hopefully, Jeanne Gardiner USDA official to visit fair Monday James Johnson, Deputy Under Secretary of the'United States Department of Agriculture for Small Community and Rural Development, will appear at the Show Ring Barn of the Kosciusko County 4-H Fair in Warsaw Monday at 2 p.m. Johnson will be Accompanied by Indiana Third District Congressman John Hiler and Ted Blank, Indiana State Director for the Farmers Home Administration. Hiler said the meeting would be held in a “question and answer” format, giving Hoosiers a change to inquire about federal policies and congressional action.
Report from your United States .Senator DAN QUAYLE
Senator Day Quayle (RIndiana) warned last Monday that the current economic recovery could collapse if interest rates are allowed to rise. Saying, “A stable economic policy is essential to our nation’s continued economic recovery,” Senator Quayle introduced a sense of the Senate resolution urging Congress to work with the president, the Federal Reserve Board, the treasury and the Counsel of Advisors, “to ensure the compatibility of fiscal and monetary policy in order to promote continued economic recovery.” Quayle cited higher interest rates as the major concern in seeing to it that our just-begun recovery is not terminated. “Evidence of economic expansion is all around,” the Hoosier Senator said. “Housing starts are up, inflation has gone from 13.3
per cent in 1979 to 3.9 per cent in 1982 and interest rates have steadily decreased from 21.5 in 1980 to 10.5 per cent “But for all the positive signs, because of the severity of the recession, there is much we need do to ensure a strong, stable and full economic comeback,” he said. “I, for one, am prepared to consider some hard choices to achieve this goal,” Quayle continued. Renewed concern over high interest levels has followed Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul Volckor’s announcement that the money supply may once again be tightened, which will raise interest rates. “A tight money policy is neither necessary nor healthy for our current economic conditions,” Quayle explained, calling for the “Fed” to take a “realistic look at current economic and fiscal conditions and then design a monetary policy capable of sustaining economic growth in these conditions.” ' Quayle continued, “As the nomination of chairman of the Federal Reserve Board draws near, we must send strong signals about this legislative body’s commitment to reduce interest rates and their importance for a strong economy. Congress must not tolerate an increase in interest rates. “If interest rates are permitted to increase, and if a compatible monetary policy cannot be agreed upon, we could possibly stall or even shut off our current recovery. “Though the economy is recovering, we must continue to be vigilant that high interest rates do not return.” Truck strikes rear of car An auto driven by Steve Nine, 27, 1829 Cambridge Drive, Warsaw, stopped at Old Road 30 West, one-quarter mile south of Fox Farm Road, to turn into the L and L Body Shop when it was struck in the rear by a truck driven by Lori L. Richardson, 17, Milford. Damage was between S2OO and SI,OOO to each vehicle.

Doug Pinkerton, North Webster, has been a haseman for the North Webster Fire Department for the past three years. His fatber-in-law was a fireman for 28-30 years and Pinkerton wanted to join.
Doug’s wife. Penny! told him it was his civic duty to become a fireman and that’s just what he did. “There’s no glory in the department. People call you a bunch of names while you’re at a fire. What you get out of fitting fires is personal pride, befeing someone, helping people. You’re doing right, especially people who are to see you.” There is nothing Pinkerton dislikes about being a fireman. “There are things I think need

changing on the department, but the department is a wellorganized and equipped fire unit. We’re getting better since a lot of firemen went to fire school. “I like it all, I’m not a driver, but I am qualified on three tracks. When I arrive at the scene I want to get the fire out.”
