Letters to the editor
The Iran overtures are sound
Dear Editor: President Reagan’s primary goal during the past six years has been to keep Americans free: To do this, he has had to fight communism. Since Iran sits on Soviet Union’s border, it has been Sovietized in the midst of the oil rich Persian Gulf region and is at the heart of NATO’s oil supply. The real issue is that if aid to Nicaraguan rebels is cut off by Congress, the President will have to order direct military intervention which is the worst option, but may become necessary if the freedom fighters are cut loose by Congress. I have observed that to many of our congressmen are greedy enough to increase their salaries by $8 to $12,000 rather than allow a few million to help the freedom fighters and to promote our USA defense program. They should join and help support our SDI club. What has happened to their patriotism and their faith in the constitution of this USA? Are we still a free country, possessing Christian principles undejr the living God of creation instead of some humanistic theojogy concocted by satan whereby man can run his own affairs without God’s guidance and protection? Conservatives in Congress need to keep a sharp eye and a careful watch to not
a variety of agricultural issues this year,” Quayle said in announcing the farm meetings, “I need the input of Indiana’s farmers to help me further address their needs and problems. “Throughout my six years in toe US Senate,” Quayle continued, “I have worked for federal farm policies that will serve the needs of Indiana’s farmers and agricultural economy, and I have made sure my staff gets farmers’ answers to their questions about farm programs — and helps farmers deal with any problems they may experience with federal agencies. “The seven farm meetings I am sponsoring this month,” Quayle said, “are an extension of similar sessions I hosted in my first term, including the seven farm forums my staff and I conducted in August 1985 and the 13 sessions for farmers we held around Indiana last March. ” Quayle’s staff will then conduct six farm meetings. One will be held Tuesday, Feb. 24, in Warsaw at 10 a.m. in the Justice Building, 100 West Center Street.

allow the leftist and ultra-liberals to promote any ’false issues brought before the Congress and Senate to sidetrack the President’s program of fighting this cancerous communism which is attacking America in Southern Africa, in the Middle East and in space. The predictions are that South Africa is not goingto fall to the African National" Congress or any other parties, but we can look for racial partitionsthere and a Japanese takeover corporate facilities left by Anferican firms. South Africa will readjust its economy to sidestep economic sanctions brought about by the selective moral outrage of the US Congress. Now President Reagan needs to do whatever is necessary to end the controversy about the round-about arms deal with Iran through Israel; even if he were outside the letter of toe law. Honesty is always the best policy, so if President Reagan finds he has made any mistake in policy and procedure in toe arms situation, then he should not try to cover for any key advisors involved in the matter. Americans possessed with Christian patriotic zeal should write to President Ronald Reagan, The White House, Washington, D.C. 20500 and support his efforts. Sincerely, Byron K. Ulrich LMS bills need big push Dear Editor: Local Measured Service (LMS) has become an issue before our Indiana Legislature and now needs a big push from all Indiana citizens. The three bills — 1057, 1257 and 1353 — now before the House and bill Oil before the Senate to eliminate LMS will never be acted upon unless we all speak out now. By sending postcards to our Representatives and Senators stating our opposition to LMS, we can get them moving on these bills. Unless we all let our voices be heard now, our legislators will believe the issue not sufficient to get these bills into committee. They will consider them not important enough to put their elected offices in jeopardy and can default the issue back to the Public Service Commission of Indiana (PSCI), who will probably decide in Indiana Bell’s favor. Other companies such as United and General are sure to go to a form of LMS also. Our local legislators can blame a few powerful committee chairmen if LMS does not come to a vote. With a vote, we will all know how our legislators voted and can support or oppose them at the next election. If our legislators find that enough votes are on the line, they will all find a way to get toss issue to vote. The relatively snort session of our Indiana Legislature means we must all act now, as the possibility of Local Measured Service becomes greater if the PSCI becomes toe decision-maker. To learn the names of your Representatives or Senators, you can contact your local election board, precinct committee workers, or call toe toll-free numbers at the Indiana Statehouse: 800-382-9841 for toe House of Representatives and 800-382-9467 for toe Indiana State. The fact that both toe House and toe Senate of Indiana have bills to ban LMS puts us all in a better position to make our opinions count. The lobbyists and the Bell employees have spoken out to them — now we, the public, the voters, and the billpayers can let our voices be heard to our elected officials. Act now. Mrs. John A. Kendall Congratulations to Syracuse students Dear Editor: The students at Syracuse Middle School are to be com gratulated for raising money to feed the ducks. It would be nice if other organizations in the area were compassionate enough to do the same. Our wildlife should be respected and preserved for future generations. AJso thanks to Mary Jane Deardorff and Herbert Lang for their co-operation. Everett Ketering Syracuse
