"C RUZIN AROUND ' CUSE"

(Continued from page 4) ] SYRACUSE CITY Republicans were mighty pleased with themselves for the good turn out at their caucus at the town hall last Thursday night, and they had a right to be. A total of 44 registered Republicans signed Susan Myrick’s roster as they entered the good-sized room where the town board meets. Mrs. Myrick said, “It took a lot of work on the part of a lot of people," adding that (here was a lot of telephoning done. Loren Longenbaugh, a GOP stalwart, told the group, “I can’t remember when we had a better turn out and I’m proud of it.” ft Others made similar comments following the short, six-minute meeting that nominated James Hughes and Carl Myrick for re-election to the Syracuse town board. Loren Knispel said it shows there is some real interest in what the town is doing. Those preparing the meeting were surprised, too, for they had only about half enough chairs in the room to accommodate the anticipated crowd, and had to scurry around other rooms for adequate chairs. No one was admitting it, but the meeting of city Democrats in the same room two nights previous (on Tuesday night) saw an attendance of 30 registered Democrats, who nominated Shanda Blue for the town board from Ward 2. (Note: New Turkey Creek Township Democratic chairmarf Jack Elam said there were actually 41 present at their meeting, but only 30 of them were registered Democrats. > Democrats more often than not don t even bother to hold a caucus , thus the unexpected large Democratic turn out was given by some as the real cause Republicans gotonthe ball (and on the telephone I-, and worked for a more than lackadaisical turn out. OF the above makes interesting speculations. and given another political gathering

Milford meeting closed. Why?

(EDITORS NOTE: Mrs. Baumgartner's letter is in reference to the meeting which is printed on page 12 of this issue) Dear Editor: As former President Truman said, “Get out of the kitchen if you can’t stand the heat.” Last Thursday night’s meeting in the Milford Community Building is a case in point. I was called by town clerk treasurer Monica Bice and asked not to appear at the hearing concerning the Davidhizer properties. Also, when I arrived for the meeting. Building Commissioner Harry Dale Doty asked me not to go in. Reason. If I showed up Davidhizer would walk out. Mr. Davidhizer had been given a summons to appear before Bldg. Inspector T.A. Miller to answer questions about three of his Milford rentals. Beverly Fuller, who rents Davidhizer’s Maple Street property, said Davidhizer told her if she appeared about the condition of that property he would have her evicted. But the question begs answering: Wjiy would an elected official or the building commissioner ask a taxpayer not to attend a public meeting? What, or who are they afraid of? Mr. Doty’s case was not well prepared, and it is only on his recommendation as commissioner that Miller as inspector can act, not the complaints of neighbors. No one can force Mr. Davidhizer to improve the esthetics of his properties; only violations as prescribed by law are punishable? He has promised before that his properties would be brought up to building code standards, but five years later very little has been accomplished. Mr. Doty suggests not having another public meeting to report on progress Mr. Davidhizer has made in improving his properties, but this is official town business and warrants the atten-

scheduled for the community on Thursday night of this week, makes one wonder if Syracuse won’t once again be a political battleground. Old, old timers remember when a 26-year-old Newton-Jasper Comity prosecuting attorney by the name of Charles Abraham Halkeck spoke at Syracuse High School in a bid for the Second Congressional seat vacated by the sudden death of Frederick Landis. Halleck did well in Turkey Creek Township, and credited his big margin here with putting him over the line in a narrow final vote count. He went on the serve 35 years in congress. "J. ‘ - ' ' ' ' ' On Thursday night area Democrats will be able to meet a Handsome young (30) principal in a political race that is attracting state-wide attention. Evan Bayh, Indianapolis attorney and son of Birch Bayh, former two-term U.S. Senator from Indiana, will be at the Pickwick Road home of Walt and Opal Miller to meet fellow Democrats and to raise a couple sheckles for what will eventually prove to be an expensive race. Bayh is running for Indiana secretary of state against Robert Bowen, son of former two-term Indiana Governor Otis R. Bowen, who is now Secretary of Health and Human Services, living in Washington, D. C. Bowen gave up his circuit court judgeship in Marshall County and signed on as a paid consultant with the Republican Central Committee in order not to suffer a financial loss while running for office. Bowen is also handsome and articulate, and has most of the quiet qualities of his father, who is a native of Bremen and also well known here You can believe wide attention will be paid to Bayh’s appearance in Syracuse. Walt and Opal Miller said they expect from 150 to 200 people at their home Thursday night to meet Bayh.

Two arrested in drug bust Charles Blain Kleinrichert, 23, of r 2,’Syracuse and Anita Kay Kramer, 23, Indianapolis, were arrested by county and state police last Thursday night after a three-week investigation into cocaine distribution. The two were arrested at home on the south side of Dewart Lake and charged with selling 27 grains of cocaine to an undercover police officer. Kleinrichert is being held at the Kosciusko County jail on a charge of ‘dealing in cocaine’’ and Kramer has been released on bond after being charged with “conspiracy to deal in cocaine.” County police detective Sgt. Tom Kitch stated the cocaine had a possible street value of $4,000. County Sheriff Alan Rovenstine said this is by far the biggest onetime buy of drugs his department has been involved in and county prosecutor Michael Miner said it is very likely the success of this case is related to the help of Crime Stoppers agency Officers involved in the operation were state police detective Sgt. Ray Carich, county police detective Sgt. Tom Kitch, county patrolman Sam Whitaker and county patrolman Steve Knispel. Kleinrichert was arrested for burglary and possession of marijuana charges in a separate incident earlier this. year. He was free on $5,000 bond when he was arrested last week. Indiana law allows prosecutors to file a Class A felony charge against anyone suspected of selling three grams or more of cocaine. If convicted the arrested pair could face prison terms of 30 years. 1 WHO KNOWS? 1. When was nylori manufactured? 2. When was Lousiana purchaseu? 3. What does “alpha and omega” mean? 4.
