Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 10, 1970, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it pleasant news j Section one 2 sections vol. 92, no. 213 it. Pleasant Iowa thursday evening september to 1970 Price to cents these Days by John Chamberlain has the West walked into a trap emergency Rural numbering system to Start sept. 15 �?�xwjwwwwp1 Lugano Switzerland a Rural residence identification mailed to All Henry county Rural senator numbering system will be used by residents before sept. 15th. The la William Fulbright is obviously a an Henry county fire depart perplexing figure to europeans. He ments ambulances and other discourses on a old myths and new realities As if the problem of Power had never existed. Then emergency vehicles starting sept. 15, 1970, reports Richard l. Thuma co. Extension director. The num looking at the Middle East in a Bering system was developed by the Henry county u. S. D. A. Rural development committee in cooperation with Henry county a Rural fire districts. Maps of Henry county listing Rural residence numbers have been prepared and will be used by All fire departments the sheriffs office the ambulance service funeral Homes the Henry co Rescue squad and the county civil defense director. Moment of crisis he suddenly wakes up to the fact that Power is at stake for several nations. There Are the a great Powers a meaning the soviet Union and the United states a which a have surrendered much of their own Freedom of action to the Bellicose whims of their respective but the a a clients themselves have their own Power problems which Are hardly a a whimsical in nature. Both the arabs and the israelis want guarantees a and guarantees if they Are to be effective demand sanctions and the most careful balancing of Power. The disgruntled Sage of Fayetteville ark., awakens from his provincial dream and advocates sanctions within sanctions in a sort of double insurance policy for the a a client nations of the Middle East. The in is to guarantee a peace but in Case the in should prove As futile in the future As it has in the past when the great Powers have disagreed the u. S. Is to sign a bilateral Security treaty with Israel with the consent of the Senate. Too one would think that senator Fulbright a belated conversion to an acceptance of reality would please the israelis. But Willy Brandt the West German Chancellor has spoiled the party. According to William s. Schlamm a cold War Veteran of Many years standing who was foreign affairs adviser to Henry Luce of time life during the years of world War ii and who now lives in Lugano the communists must be Licking their chops with satisfaction Over the Way things Are going. Sanctions Are worthwhile As Long As the Power relations on which they Are based do not change. A letter containing a plastic Label with the residence number and fire department number will be Waco to choose one director the upcoming school election of the Waco Community school District finds incumbent Peter Graberjr. Opposed by William r. Bernau for the office of director of District no. 2. One director will be chosen for a term of three years. Also the office of treasurer will be voted upon with Only one candidate being nominated that being Melvin Clark. The election will be held on the 14th Day of september second monday of september. The polls will be open at 112 of clock noon Daylight savings time and close at 7 o clock . Merged area Xvi Community College will propose the following Public measure to the voters at the regular school election. The measure reads As follows a shall the merged area Xvi Community College District Southeastern Iowa area Community col an agreement on Israel with the authorized to certify for soviet Mediterranean Fleet at its present level of strength balanced by the u. S. Sixth Fleet and with Israel getting higher flying planes to counter the Sam ii and Iii missiles would be acceptable provided things remain the same on other fronts where the communists face the West. But or. Schlamm who is a profound observer of the German political scene Points out that the economic a a kicker in the new Russo German understanding will make Moscow much More powerful All along the Borders of the old Iron curtain in Central Europe. Bonne a decision to provide the credits the material and the technical knowledge to give the soviets a modern trucking Industry could have fateful military effects. The red army is formidable enough As a defensive instrument and with tanks it is certainly sufficient to cow the czechs and the hungarians but it has never had the transportation a a infrastructure to be a truly formidable Mobile Force far from Home. With West German Industry at Moscow a disposal things could change rapidly within a few years. The communists have in effect suddenly obtained Access to the Industry of the Ruhr and the Rhineland without firing a shot. And they have managed to do this with the passive acceptance of Richard Nixon. The outrageous thing is that Many people in Washington know the dangers Secretary of defense Laird acted on an acute perception of reality when he vetoed the Ford motor company a proposition to give Russia a motor Industry. As or. Schlamm puts it a whatever has possessed Henry Kissinger to give his tacit approval to Brandts political Power play a o o a to return to the question of sanctions for Israel. A soviet Power with a vastly increased Mobile strength in Europe would be Able to make demands Ort the nato Powers with relative impunity by the simple expedient of scaring the u. S. Lest it be forced by an a a incident to abide by its promises to Israel in the Middle East. A to. bilateral agreement would become a trap for a pacifist America. We would give in elsewhere in the world merely to avoid trouble in the Middle East. Willy Brandt by putting himself under soviet obligation May have assured his own political longevity in West Germany. However he has not Only ended world War ii but Bel should be put on or near the most conveniently located Telephone in the House Thuma says. Too to report a fire or other emergency Call your fire department and give your name and Rural residence number. For example John Hunzinger Sec. Treas. Of the it. Pleasant Rural benefited fire District would Call 385-2313 give his name and say a my residence number is 72-7-33-85. The first two parts of Johns number 72-7, would Tell the fire chief that the fire was in Trenton township. The next number 33, tells him the fire is in Section 33 of Trenton township and the last number 95, tells him the fire is a mile West of the Southeast Corner of Section 33. Then the fire chief can Check his map to determine the Best route to take to get to this location. Too although All Rural residence numbers were double checked ifs possible that a few May have been missed. Thuma suggests that All persons living outside the City limits of a town in Henry county who do not receive their Rural residence number by sept. 15th Call the Extension of foe 385-8126. He also suggests that All Rural residents Check their number to make sure it is Correct. Some persons who have moved recently May receive a number for the House where they formerly lived. Township numbers Are 70-5, Baltimore 70-6, Jackson 70-7, Salem 71-5, new London 71-6, Center 71-7, Tippecanoe 72-5, Canaan 72-6, Marion 72-7, Trenton 73-5, Scott 73-6, Waynel 73-7, Jefferson.
