The Resurrection In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that the is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: 10, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word. And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet and worshiped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me. Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, Saying, Say ye, His disciples —. came by night, and stole him away while we slept. And if this come to the governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day. Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all } s things whatsover I have commanded you: and, 10, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen Matthew 28:1-20 KJV $2.50 an hour? Secretary of Labor Raymond Donovan is asking Congress again this year to approve of a lower wage for youth in summer. Instead of paying them the minimum adult wage of $3.35 an hour, he suggests $2.50. Donovan calls this wage a “summer youth opportunity’’ wage. He thinks it would translate into many jobs for the young this summer. He doesn’t think it would displace regular workers. Donovan says the minimum wage should not be raised at the present time. Those who would suffer most, he says, are those at the bottom of the wage-scale ladder. > President Reagan’s labor secretary faces an uphill congressional fight to win approval of his youth wage program. He lost the same battle ip 1983. The same Democrat majority still rules the House. One will not know with any degree of certainty how such a program would work until it’s tried. The proposal seems to deserve a trial of one or two years, after which results could be carefully analyzed. If millions of young people are helped, and regular workers aren’t displaced as a result, summer minimum wages might become a permanent feature of the U.S. economic system. It could also help bring prices down and make some U.S. products more competitive. It’s important to build character. Sometimes, it’s important to rebuild. — Tribune, Chicago What others say — We have free speech as stewards The First Amendment Congress is beating the drum for a principle we should never forget. That the group is making such a big deal out of it may be evidence that we in the industry don’t have as tight a grip on this practical rule of thumb as we may think - and the polls citing our apparent unpopularity seem to reinforce that. The principle is this: “... the First Amendment belongs to every American, not just to journalists.” Seems simple. Insensitivity, inaccuracy and misunderstanding of the basic issues involved in a news story are three areas, the Congress said, that give readers a low opinion of journalists and the news business. Whenever the press appears to hold anyone — public figure or private citizen — to standards of sensitivity, accuracy and understanding the press itself can’t — or won’t - strive for, then trouble happens. So, though we often find ourselves defending the First Amendment rights of those we wouldn’t like to hang around with after work, we’d better not use their gigantic lapses of taste, judgment or accuracy as excuses for what we might feel are our own minor ones. We in the American press have the stewardship of free speech rights for all Americans, including ourselves — largely because we spend full time at it and freedom to express ourselves is our livelihood. It’s important that we not waste the resources we’ve got defending day-to-day lapses on our part. We need all the moral capital we can save up for times when the big ones —for our readers and ourselves — come along. > -PUBLISHERS’AUXILIARY

"GRUZIN AROUND 'CUSE"

THE MAY 7th meeting of the Kosciusko County Board of Commissioners is crucial to the efforts of the Syracuse-Wawasee Area Development Company (SWADCO) to establish an industrial park on the west side of State Road 13 between Syracuse and North Webster. The commissioners heard SWADCO’s appeal for a zoning change of a 33.5-acre tract on the Harold Stoffel farm, on r 2 Syracuse, at its meeting last Thursday morning, to change the zoning from agriculture to light industry. At that time the commissioners tabled the change as approved earlier by the Kosciusko Area Plan Commission until they had further information on: Proper access to the tract off and onto the highway, Proper water run-off, and. Proper method of handling sewage. The land in question lies adjacent to a 20-acre tract owned by one James Kilcherman, which has already been approved for building light industry on at least eight acres. The SWADCO tract is approximately 1.2 miles from the North Webster sewage treatment lines on the north end of that town, and approximately 6.5 miles from Syracuse. To hook onto either of these lines remains a possibility. Joe Gray, recently elected president of SWADCO, emphasizes that his group is interested in a good industrial park, adding, “We want to get away from pole barn city.” If the proposed industrial park comes to fruition, one suggested name for it would be Continental Industrial Park, for it lies near the Continental Divide. —o— DR. MICHAEL D. Storms, a 1963 Syracuse High School valedictorian, was named Associate Provost of the California College of Psychology at Los Angeles on March 15, according to his mother, Suzanne Runge, of r 2 Syracuse. Dr. Mike received his Bachelor of Arts degree at Whittenberg University, Sprifigfield, 0., in 1967 where he graduated magna cum laude, then received his Doctor’s degree at Yale University at New Haven, Conn., in 1971. «> He served as associate professor of psychology at Tufts University, at Medford, Mass., for a year, then for the past 10 years has been in the psychology department of the University of Kansas at Lawrence, Kan., the last three years as head of the department. A single Man, Dr. Mike is pleased to be moving into southern California and is equally pleased with his new post, according to his mother. — o — QUESTION OF the week, if not the month ... if not the century: What uptown Syracuse merchant had his name drawn in a >1 million lottery in Las Vegas the first week in December? Perhaps even he doesn’t know about it. — o — MERL AND Maggie Smith, of the Smith-Walbridge Camp on Bonar Lake, arrived home last Wednesday from a winter in the South and Southwest. Most of the winter was in Orlando, Fla., but they also went to Tempe, Ariz., for a time. En route they visited with son Greg at Alice, Texas., where he is a high school instructor. In the Phoenix area they visited with Ralph and Marge Thornburg and Jean Miller. Returning to Indiana, they stopped at Champagne-Urbana, 111., to visit with son Gary, affiliated with the University of Illinois. — o — SYRACUSE POLICE Chief Warren Swartz means business in carrying out the town board’s edict to enforce two-hour parking in Uptown Syracuse and in the lower Main Street parking lot. Since the order came down. Chief Swartz has been out, not once, but several times each day chalking tires on parked cars. ( Shoppers now have an almost empty lower parking lot for their convenience while shopping uptown. — o — COMMISSIONER CANDIDATE Ron Sharp and others supporting his cause for good government were disappointed in the small crowd his lecture on county finances drew at the high school’s cafeteria annex last Tuesday evening. They expected more. “People just don’t get fired up with this sort of thing,’’ one of those attending commented, “but they are interested in their local government enough to get out to vote on election day.”

Gas line rupture causes no major problem in Milford

By BEN SMITH Staff Writer A gas line rupture April 6 in the area of Milford’s Syracuse Street and SR 15 caused no damage and only a small amount of inconvenience to a small number of residents. Northern Indiana Public Service Company District Manager Carl Shakeley said Monday. A construction crew from H.R.P. Construction Company of South Bend was working in the area installing a 22 inch metal casing to fit over a new water main. Superintendent Bill Knowles

PATTI AND Wayne VanCuren are two people who know how to show appreciation. They were so grateful for work performed by Syracuse firemen and police during and after their recent >30,000 fire at their Frog Tavern that they had these two groups and their wives out for a full blown dinner — on the house. Also included was a contractor and his wife and an insurance representative. All is back in apply pie order, the VanCurens insist, and they opened Friday and were well received by grateful customers. — o — LOOK FOR an announcement soon that the Syracuse community is about to have another physician, thanks to the continued efforts of a S-W Chamber of Commerce committee set up for this purpose. The committee worked with the Goshen General Hospital to bring Frank L. Piaskowy, a Doctor of Osteopathy from Crystal Falls, Mich., to Syracuse. While all plans are not firmed up, it is rumored the good doctor will open his office in Wawasee Village, in the 13 Center. He and his family will reside south of Goshen, near the Goshen Hospital. A public reception will be held for Dr. Piaskowy by the C of C committee. More on this later. — o — DON BYRD, golf professional and owner operator of the well groomed Wawasee Golf Course, has emerged the close friend and advisor to John K. Snyder, Republican candidate for governor of Indiana. Snyder, former Treasurer of the State of Indiana, appeared before a large and impressive crowd of county Republicans at the golf club last Monday night and delivered a biting indictment of the programs of incumbent Governor Robert D. Orr, who is seeking re-election. Byrd disclaims any advisory capacity to Snyder but says they have become close friends of late due to mutual interests in bringing improved government to the state of Indiana. As the May Bth primary election approaches, it is fair to expect John Snyder to name a Kosciusko County Election Committee. — o — PAUL AND Eva Penn, residents of the south side of Lake Wawasee, are home from their winter in Florida. They own a “quite comfortable” condominium at Charlotte Harbor, just south of Fort Myers Beach, Fla. — o - GIRLS WORKING in uptown places of business who are faithfully following local police orders and parking in the upper parking lot, will be well advised to walk in something other than open-toed shoes, especially when it rains as it has been lately. Water run-off comes down the alleyway “in buckets,” and has proved a nemesis to the young girls of our business community. — O'joe GRAY is trying to get bicycle riders psyched up for the Bike-A-Thon, to be held Saturday, June 12. The sponsoring Rotary Club hopes to raise well over $3,000 for several local charities. Joe himself has gotten the old bike out for some practice sessions. He admits to a winter in hibernation, but he has been a faithful rider in these affairs in past years, and is urging other Rotarians (anyone, for that matter) to come on out and have a little fun. “Anyone can do the mile race,” he says, although boastfully admits to doing 20 miles himself. So there you have the challenge. , -o808 AND Mary Jane Knudsen of North Shore Drive were home Monday from the Masters’ Golf Tournament at Augusta, Georgia, held Thursday through Sunday and which was won by Ben Crenshaw in four spectacular rounds. The Knudsens'were special guests of friends in the radio industry. — oA BOXED article in a Sunday magazine, signed by “A Syracuse Couple," listed unusual epitaphs and drew some local interest as it was clipped and handed around. Now everyone wants to know who the Syracuse couple is. -oGROUND BREAKING ceremonies for the Turkey Creek Township Fire Station II will be in the near future, according to Larry Singleton, a member of the group who has been working on the fire station. Singleton announced Monday, April 16, that the contract had been signed. The new fire station will be built near the pool at Enchanted Hills and house at least one fire truck. Syracuse Firemen have met with the new volunteers for the station and are starting the training on the use of equipment.

said Tuesday the casing came up against the gas line, cracking it. Inasmuch as there was a “fairly good wind that afternoon,” the escaping gas quickly vented into the atmosphere, Shakley said. “There was no fire or explosion,” he added. Shakeley noted when a situation involving escaping gas exists, “you have the potential for danger,” but no problem existed April 6 because the construction company immediately notified the gas company and shut down •its vehicles, a procedure Shakeley said.he recommends whenever a gas leak occurs. There is a toll free number to

call in the event of a gas problem, he added. The number is 1-800-382-5544. Spring gardening can sometimes result in gas leaks if people aren’t careful, Shakely noted. Problems can result even when digging out shrubs if the shrubs lie dose to buried gas lines, he said. If there is any suspicion gas lines may be near shrubs or trees Kring dug up, Shakeley said people should call NIPSCO and they will come to see whether there is a potential danger. “We advocate people immediately open up their windows, (Continued on page 5)
