Elwood Family to Leave for Arizona in 1958
The Elwood family plans to depart Monday for Arizona as election year politics loom with many House and Senate members up for re election. Tax relief proposals may slow if federal deficits widen, while a tax reduction stance could face inflation fears and budget balance pressures. The piece notes squirrels around the White House and winter hoarding behavior, and mentions Police and Fire Department changes in Elwood with staff shifts and a sold home at 620 N. 12th St. Prior local notes include Indiana Toll Road Commission plans moving HQ to South Bend and a study recommending civilian staff for radio ops, with South Bend favored due to mid point location.
