Letters to the editor

Dear Editor: What a sad world this is that a man, a prisoner of war who served his country and suffered such pain and agonies unknown only to himself so we might enjoy a free country, cannot receive a gift and display and enjoy it, because out! in this world there are people, who, in the dark of a winter night, would come to his home and remove that gift —for what purpose is known only to themselves. Larry Wozniak was given a “stoplight” for Father’s Day some years back. It was proudly hung and displayed on the garage at his home at Barbee Lakes. Everyone knew the Wozniaks live

I pray that this is not an example of what our world is coming to: a man, a prisoner of war, a husband, a father, a grandfather and a friend to many people, a man who would give you food if you were hungry because he has known hunger, a man who would give you a smile if you were sad because he has known sadness and would do his best to relieve your pain for he, too, has suffered. So, to you (the ones who took the stoplight), should you read this, please know that very night that you took the stoplight, Larry’s family had to call the EMS, because he had become

During the year the Company increased transportation services to its industrial gas customers, in place of gas sales, which substantially reduced revenues from those customers. Electric sales for 1987 increased 6 percent reflecting the warm summer and increased industrial demand; however, revenues decreased reflecting reduced purchased power and fuel costs, partially offset by the electric rate increase effective July 16, 1987.

His wife called the EMS and told them it was Larry Wozniak at Barbee — “the white house with the stoplight on the garage.” Thankfully, they were aware of the location without the stoplight being a marker for them. I pray for you because of what might have been — if people had not known who Larry is and where he lives. I fervently pray, also, that you can live with yourselves and that you, too, may enjoy that “stoplight” as much as Larry did when he had it. Sincerely, Kandy Schmucker v

Representatives voted against the aid last week. Ward stated, “If I were in Congress today, I would vote against additional Contra aid. We have better ways to use that money right here at home.” He continued, “I fail to see the incentive behind giving $36 million to a group which cannot account for most of the assistance we have already sent them. As a taxpayer, I am fed up with footing the bill for Contra leaders who are staying in posh hotels in Miami Beach.” He pointed to the fact that the five Central American presidents have specifically asked that no further aid of any kind be provided to the Contras. He cited Costa Rican President Oscar AfiaS' assertion that Contra aid is> the problem, not the solution, and urged support of the peace plan associated with the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize winner. And, as Ward noted, the 15-member International Verification Commission established to evaluate compliance with the peace plan has stated that “an end to US Contra aid was an indispensable requirement for the success of the peace efforts.” Fish biologist describes results of stocking fish Mike Waiterhouse, fish biologist with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, described the results of stocking fish in local lakes for Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday morning, Jan. 25. Waiterhouse gave results of the stocking of fish by the Department of Natural Resources in Lake Webster, Tippecanoe Lake, and in the Barbee Chain. In Lake Webster, the stocking of muskies has been successful. The largest fish of this type on record caught since the time of the stocking was 42 inches in length. The survey indicated that in Lake Webster blue gills are the most numerous fish, followed by crappies and bass. A check of fishermen showed that 54 percent favored and 24 percent opposed the stocking of muskies in the local lake. The stocking of walleyes in Lake Tippecanoe proved to be unsuccessful. The survey indicated that the size of blue gills on the average is larger in Lake Tippecanoe than in Lake Webster. Placing of trout in the Barbee Chain has shown good results. The survey there showed that trout were adapting well to the water conditions.

That is why I am endorsing this proposal to lower class sizes for fourth grade students in Indiana.” Operation Prime Time was instituted for students from Kindergarten through third gradejn the legislative package passed by the Indiana Legislature of 1987. The program was initiated to cut the per student ratio in the lower classes to no higher than 19 to 1 in each class. Rigdon is a Democrat and this is his first attempt at axpolitical position.
