Letters to the editor

Dear Editor: The Indiana Task Force on Poor Relief rates Indiana highest in administrative costs (33.70 percent)! This means that only 66 percent of the Poor Relief funds actually reach the poor! (North Dakota has only 3.23 percent for overhead costs!) 1984-1985 data reported, that monthly 110,000 Hoosiers got $48,600,000 — averages about $442 per person. Property tax revenues paid only one-third of this. Eligibility guidelines ranged from $78.75 to $625 monthly income to merit help.

Dear Editor: The State Legislature has often been suspect of doing what it wants, such as favoring certain groups with the idea that the ELECTORATE doesn’-t know what it wants. Therefore, the ELECTED can use their own bias to vote on issues. The current issue over LOCAL MEASURED SERVICE is a case in point. Although the evidence indicates the ELECTORATE want LOCAL MEASURED SERVICE banned, the ELECTED'wiII fiddle around blaming each other

Poor relief and rentals

Indiana’s monthly benefit was the lowest — $24.93 or 5.7 percent of poverty line! Rhode Island’s averaged $265.28! In our cold winter, remember the poor. Recently, a family of five came seeking a house, job and food. They borrowed the car and had only the clothes on their backs! Friends did help. The first available rental required $135 per week and $640 deposit. There was no stove, and the fridge would not stay closed! The father’s first job paid $3.50 an hour. Have you any helpful suggestions? Our few local support

Shake up the elected

BODY and MA BELL will get its way. The favoring of political FRIENDS and pre-determined self interest by a part-time legislature causes an unresponsive attitude. The way to shake the ELECTED up would be to register another 25 to 50 eligible voters per precinct and vote out the non hearing, biased legislators. Nothing would scare the politicians more than an informed and powerful electorate. Continental Telephone requested a form of L.M.S. in 1985.

Remember eight years ago we were promised “All the poor shall receive help!” This is cut yearly, so money can go for bombs and/or supplies to kill the innocent in certpin countries!

Age a problem for officer

William H. Fisher, who has served as a reserve officer on the Syracuse Police Department for about eight years, submitted his resignation, effective January 15, 1988. Fisher, 46, stated in his letter of resignation that he was not considered for a recent patrolman job opening because of his age. Town Marshal Bob Ziller said this morning, Feb. 3, “I’m looking for an officer who already has police academy experience if I can get one. I have four to consider for the patrolman opening.” He said he had told Fisher that if he had to send someone to the academy, the town would get better return on the investment with Ship's officers not on duty MANILA, Philippines — Officers of the Dona Paz were watching TV or drinking beer when it and a tanker collided, ending a Christmas trip to Manila for 1,600 people with death in a fiery sea, the coast guard said.

Rice’s leaving is in preparation for his retirement from the company on June 1 after 40 years. Until his retirement he will be involved in the axle division by starting up two new plants in Columbia, Mo., and Buena Vista, Va. Rice came to Syracuse when Dana Corporation took over the former Weatherhead Company in January 1979 as plant manager. He has been credited with the growth of the local plant from where it was in 1979 with 25 employees to its current 600 employees. Rice has also been credited with keeping the local plant open when other Dana Corporation plants were being closed. He began his career 40 years ago at the Dana Corporation Axle plant in Fort Wayne. From there he went the company’s Churubusco’s plant as plant manager. Rice then went back to the axle division and became involved with international sales before being transferred to the Edgerton, Wis., plant. Rice came to Syracuse from Egderton.
