Over Twenty Months Work Completed At 3-C Camp New Fish Ponds Nearing Completion as Workers Continue Efforts to Make Beauty Spot at State Hatchery On Lake Wawasee.

Twenty month ago, August 21, 1934, ECW Camp 3*BB was established in Kosciusko county, near here. Despite the adverse weather con- ' dilions and location in which the work is being done, it has progressed steadily through the direction of competent technical staff and the efforts of the enrollees. This project, Fish Rearing Ponds, located between Lakes Wawasee and Papakeechie, is the only one of its kind under construction by the CCC in Indiana; and when completed, it will be the largest Fish Hatchery in the Slate. It will be of great value to the State of Indiana and her visitors; especially those who visit this particular district. * The fish reared in these ponds will replenish the various streams and lakes of the state, and will be used for whatever other disposals the authorities may desire to make. The vast distribution which the hatchery will make possible, will benefit all lovers of fishing, as well as the members of the numerous Rod and Reel Clubs. Have New Boat House. The boat house which has been erected was a difficult as well as a dangerous task for the workers. It is built partially on land and partially over the lake, so as to serve its two-fold purpost of housing boats and a store room for fish feed and other necessary facilities. In the construction of the boat house twenty-seven piling (6 to 8 inches In diameter) had to be driven twenty-five feel in the water and land. The form, and most of the other construction work, had to be done on scaffolds built over the lake. The slips for the boats were made to draw four feet of water in order to accommodate motor boats if the demand is such. The dirt and muck was dug with scoops pulled by a truck and handed up in buckets and loaded in trucks to be hauled away. * Quite a bit of work has been done at night The night crew would haul in enough material to combine with that hauled during the day to keep the grading crews busy. By so doing the men were able to fill and build levees more rapidly, and also to get sixteen hours* service out of trucks. * , , Sand and gravel for cement work were also hauled at night, so as not to delay the normal process of work. . Educational Benefits Education will derive its share of benefits from this project by studying the species of fish which will be on exhibition in the “Display Ponds" d which will grace the site; the sing- ; erlings in the Sorting Tanks in the Service Building; and the different stages of the eggs before hatching. The concrete “Display Pond” in r front of the Service Building, tneu* urea 12 feet by seventy-four feet. The one parallel with the road, in front of the Service Building, Pond No. 15, will also be concrete and wid be 580 feet long. The 240 foot j by 50 foot exhibition pond, beside the gravel road leading to the camp, and the adjoining 80 foot by 30 foot exhibition pond, beside the winding road from the Service Building to the camp, will be constructed in the' same manner as the breeding ponds. In addition to these display ponds, the old spillway is being revamped to act as a display pond for rare species. A new thirty-ton Daphne Tank will be constructed, similar to the old one, to raise food for the fish. Vast Beauty Spot. For those who are looking for scenic aspects and the sight-seeing groups, a trip to the Wawasee State Schuler for Senator; Experienced and Able Arnold Schuler, candidate for the republican nomination for state senator from Kosciusko and Wabash county, is one candidate who can point back to a record of having been right on every subject that came before the rebate. It is true that in a great many instances his vote did not amount to much, for during the whole four years in office he has been in. the helpless minority, but that does not alter the fact that the state and its people would probably have been in a great deal better condition today bad his views prevailed. Mr. Srhoter went into the race for the nomination for the second term at the urge of a great many of the thinking people of both Kosciusko and Wabash counties who realin that men of Ida Ideas and judgment are needed In the state senate. If there is a change in the pogtical as many hope there will be, men at experience wffl be needed on the republican aids. Mr. Sdwfax has had this experience, and would go into the legislative haßs with an ability to snore property represent the district and the state at large than a new sasm, unversed in the ways of

Hatchery will be time well spent. In order to beautify the site, grass will be sown and shrubbery planted on and along the levees and on the east side of the boat house. In this spot, beside the boat house and over, looking Lake Wawasee, benches will be placed for the convenience of visitors. On the west side of the boat house there will be 1260 square feet of parking space, and on the east side of the Service Buiding there will be 7,500 square feet of parking space. The space between the levee along Lake Wawasee and Pond No. 18 will be made into a thirty foot by fifty foot sunken garden, which will be watered from the driven well in that immediate vicinity. A drinking fountain will also be erected at this point, using this wed (flowing 580 gallons per hour) for its water supply. The water from this well has already been tested by the State and adjudged usable. Island of Trees. The “Island of Trees” (sixteen in all) between Ponds No.'s 20 and 23, tends its share to the beauty of the project. In the construction of the Breeding Ponds 11,307 cubic yards of muek had to be excavated and hauled away in order to get a substantial footing on which to build. During our entire operations workers have had to use pumps to keep out the water which constantly seeped in from Lake Wawasee. The muck taken out was replaced with fill (earth) obtained from the property of various neighbors. In all, the ponds and levees, we have used to date 26,897 cubic yards of this filL For this and more than 500 tons of boulders used in rip-rap along the levee next to the lake, the people of this community are to be commended for their most amiable cooperation and interest in the work. On the bottom of the ponds there is a grilleage or slab lumber obtained from Brown county, Jasper-Pu-laski and Kankakee State Forests. Over this six inches of brown clay and six inches of blue clayr'Were placed. Two inches of gravel, covering the clay and bringing the bottoms up to the free boards of the levees, make a fine bed for the fish. Most of these breeding ponds, twen-ty-eight in all, are nearly completed the work being done simultaneously. Work has been started on the pipeline for the circulating water sysem to be used. This will enable the water to constantly circulate through each pond. With the valve control the water can be stopped or drained from any pond without affecting the remainder. The supply of water will come from Lake Papakeechie, which has a higher water level than Lake Wawasee. Already dividends have been paid for the undertaking of this project. Numbers of men (mechanics, driven construction workers and laborers; who were at this camp and receivec recommendations with discharges have been able to secure jobs on tK strength of their service here. o The switchboard operator object, to some of the things said over th i wires, but one cannot expect t> work around electricity and not get shocked occasionally.

A STATEMENT AS A CANDIDATE for nomination on the Republican Ticket for State Representative from this county, I have been asked by several Republicans as to my attitude regarding certain problems now facing our state. I shall attempt to answer these questions directly and specifically. HOME RULE There has been a tendency for several years in Our. state to centralize various functions of our government. There has been some justification for this as no one would want to exchange our present day school system for our system of twenty-five years ago. This tendency toward centralization, however, has gone further most, of us realize. In 1933 a bill was passed giving the Governor of our state the power to appoint every employee of the state with the exception of those officers elected by the people and one assistant for each elective office. Even the power of the Attorney General was made appointive. This was previously elective. I voted against this centralization bill and today I favor its repeal. The’recently enacted Public Welfare Bill places the power of administration in the hands of the state and federal governments. All decisions made by the County Welfare Board can be overruled by the state boards. The state boards in turn are under the direction of the federal government. During the consideration of this bill I supported amendments that would have given a greater authority to local boards. Those of us who believed in greater local self-government were unsuccessful. After failing to get the amendments which would make this bill more favorable to local control, I voted against the bill because of this tendency toward centralization and the fact that our county will have to raise our share of this expense by increasing the property tax levy. I STAND SOLIDLY AGAINST ANY LEGISLATION THAT WILL TAKE ANY OF THE POWERS FROM THE TOWNSHIPS AND COUNTIES. I think that all local functions of government can be more economically adr ministered by local officers than by state boards. This includes schools and all kinds of relief work. I make this statement on this subject because there are some folks who have a mistaken idea of my attitude on this subject. TAXATION There are many functions of our government that are indispensable. We cannot sacrifice our school system, our police system, our penal and benevolent institutions, our highways and several other important phases of our government. Being a patron of our schools and having been a public school teacher for ten years, I am not in sympathy with any movement which would penalize the next generation by depriving them of the advantages of a good education. After all the necessary functions of the government are provided for, there is still plenty of room for running expenses. I BELIEVE IN A RIGID ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT AND A PROGRAM OF PAYING FOR EVERYTHING AS WE GO. THE ONLY WAY TO REDUCE TAXES IN OUR STATE IS TO CUT THE COST OF GOVERNMENT. THIS CAN BE DONE AND I FAVOR IT. I favor also an adjustment of our taxing system to spread the tax burden morq uniformly and relieve certain groups that at present are bearing an unfair part of the load. This can be done in such a manner that the Dollar and Dollar and a Half tax limit law can be made workable. I think all gasoline taxes and auto license fees should be used for highway purposes exclusively. At present part of the license fees goes into the state general fund. r. CONSERVATION OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES I served on the Natural Resources Committee in the House last two sessions. I co-operated with the conservation clubs of our county in every possible manner. It is my opinion that Kosciusko County has a great fortune in its lakes, rivers, woodlands, fish, and game. These gifts of nature should be protected for the future generations. Hobart Creighton
