voters will be removed from the voter files, thus becoming ineligible to vote. Voters who need to register may contact their precinct committeeman or come to the clerk’s office. Registrations will be accepted until Sept. 22 with precinct comitteeman, and until Oct. 8 in the clerk’s office.

66 who have not given blood for 56 days are urged to donate. The donated pints of blood will be packaged and sent in coolers to the blood reserve at Fort Wayne. From there the blood will be distributed to area hospitals as it is needed. This “gift of life” will consume just 15 to 20 minutes of the donor’s time. Especially needed at this time are blood types expositive and O-negative.

Maxine Pifer voiced her displeasure with the amount of burning and lack of garbage pickup in the town. “I’d like to have a nice, clean town,” said Mrs. Pifer. “What I want to know is what can be done about getting quotes for garbage pickup? There’s a lot of burning going on right now, and it’s just not paper that’s burning.” “We just can’t make a decision right now about this,” said Wuthrich. “But I think it would be a good idea to look into it.” After hearing from Mrs. Pifer, the board discussed the idea of drawing up an ordinance concerning the inspection of rental properties before they are rented. Kirsch felt that such an ordinance would be unlawful, but stated that he would eheck into the possibility. “I don’t see what the problem would be with this ordinance,” said Knowles. “Goshen has an ordinance like this, and it is because of the same person — Mr. Davidhizar.” Town Marshal Dave Hobbs provided his monthly report to the board, and in the process made a few comments about some recent problems. One in particular is the recent thefts of several Schwinn bicycles. Three ten-speed bikes, owned by Tammy Beer, Patricia Sanders and Homer Miller were taken Tuesday, July 10. A lawn mower was also stolen four days prior from Wayne Richardson. To Take Legal Action Another problem recently en-

Such an arrangement will be tried at Milford in the upcoming school year and the board will evaluate that experiment before deciding on action at North Webster. “I would hate to see us in the position where we, due* to contractual obligations, are spending more money than we need to,” said Smith. The board will resume discussion on the issue at its July 17 meeting. In other business the board: • Heard a report from Wawasee High School Principal IX*.

countered by Hobbs is the lack of respect concerning junk car notices. Two residents recently tore their notices up and placed them back on Hobb’s door at the town hall. The town board, Hobbs and Kirsch noted that if the owners of the junk cars don’t follow the instructions, legal action will be taken. The marshal also informed the board that there is a possible wiring problem inside the town hall. Hobbs put in three light bulbs during the past week, and they have all blown up. In closing comments, the board accepted the motion of reimbursing town officials for their travel for town related work. Paying for lecture fees and travel expenses was approved. The topic concerning the town’s vehicle was discussed but put on hold for a while. The Ford LTD, which has broken down several times for Mrs. Bice, recently failed to function for Knowles. Knowles, who was stranded along the roadside with the LTD, pointed out that a new battery was needed, new tires, and possibly a new alternator. “It’s not bad when it happens to Monica, but it’s bad when it happens to me,” joked Knowles. “We need to consider what we are going to do with it. Either maintain it, or get rid of it.” The board members noted they would re-evaluate the car later in the summer. “I think it would be pouring money down a rat hole if we decided to fix it,” said Mrs. Treesh. The sentiments of those present agreed with the president’s. In the final comment of the evening, Knowles stated that he will be flushing fire hydrants Thursday, July 12, after 9 p.m.

Warsaw mayor speaks to Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary

Mayor Jeff Plank was the speaker at Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary meeting Tuesday noon. Mayor Plank said that Warsaw has gone through a difficult two-year period. He said that it seemed to come from a lack of written policy from which local government officials could work. He also stated that he is interested in what lies ahead and not what lay behind. Two positive things have happened since he came into office: first written policy is being prepared which is specific. These policies define in detail what disciplines are needed to operate a town such as Warsaw. SecondExtensive damage to boats at Lake Wawasee A motorboat owned by Richard Gross, Anderson, and Lowell Ensinger’s sailboat received extensive damage in a pair of weekend accidents pn Lake Wawasee. According to Tom Kitch of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, Gross’s accident occurred following a party that lasted well into the early morning hours, Sunday, July 8. Gross apparently went out onto the lake with a friend, Joe Bonner, also of Anderson, and when they returned the boat had $4,000 in damages. Gross failed to recall anything that they hit while on the lake, according to Kitch. The sailboat owned by Ensinger was discovered missing Sunday morning, July 8, but was discovered later in the day. According to Kitch, the boat was tied up at the end of the Ensinger’s pier late Saturday evening, but when the couple went out towards the boat Sunday, it was missing. Police officials believe the boat was either let loose by someone, or broke loose on its own. Kitch found the boat about one mile west of the Ensinger residence with over SBOO in damages.

ly: A purchasing department is being formed which will provide for competitive shopping and will allow the town to take advantage of volume purchasing. All of this is a direct growth of the scrutiny the Town of Warsaw has gone through. In regard to economic development, Mayor Plank said that the reason for economic growth was to provide jobs, shopping and improvement in the quality of life, the bottom line, being dollars for the community. Economic development brings in revenue to support services. It can be done in two ways, either raise taxes, unpopular and difficult, or increase the assessed evaluation of the property in the community. The latter is the preferred way 7 but we should be selective and should look for quality not for just any business or industry coming down the road. In that respect the mayor said the Kosciusko Development, Inc., is an agency which he hopes will be a county agency or development corporation which will place an emphasis on stability and growth of the county as a whole. Warsaw will support this effort and at the same time be competitive in looking toward the growth of Warsaw as well. The mayor concluded by saying that the easiest dollar to

With proper emphasis in the right places, Warsaw and Kosciusko County will continue to grow and prosper. Sharon Meek on college dean's list Sharon Meek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Edwin Meek, 618 S.
