But Nixon a action did not affect a second Railroad dispute which Atul carries the threat of a strike next week. The president Friday invoked his Powers under the railway labor act to appoint a Board to investigate a wage contract dispute Between four unions and the nations railroads. Negotiations in this Case broke Down earlier this week and the four unions declared a selective strike against three railroads. A Federal court ordered an end to the walkout but it was about 24 hours before service could be restored to Normal on the three lines where an estimated 40,000 rail workers left their jobs despite the court order.

The Only course left open to the president would he to ask con Gress to impose a settlement. Under the action Nixon took Friday the emergency Board will have 30 Days to investigate the dispute and report its findings to the president. The Sec aside for negotiations. Housing hubbub the site of the proposed elderly housing project and what the building would look like has been known for a Long time the Tribune s punch listed a map showing the location at least twice and an architects drawing of the building. No objections to where the housing commission planned to put it or to the building itself were Ever raised during that Long hot debate Over whether an elderly project ought to be built but now critics of the site and. Building Are coming out of the Woodwork. Its a Little late for that sort of thing now that the Developer has bought the land for $45,000 and paid Many thousands More for architects plans for a building suited to that site. And yet some tried to use the zoning boards Power to halt the project there makes you wonder where these people were when the real debate was going on. We said no objections had been raised to the site before but we should Point out mayor Lewis while not really objecting did think it would be better Over behind the Post office but he backed off from this when most of the elderly people he talked to said they did no to want to be near the noisy traffic on Broadway. The two zones Doc Decker and Bill Brown who voted against granting the variances the project needed did no to do so because they were against elderly housing they just Felt the Board would be violating its jurisdiction As out lined in the zoning ordinance. If you Ever doubted the need for elderly housing hear the plight of one Man who was evicted from one of the houses being torn Down for the project he had a Nice furnished apartment at a Price he could afford now All he could find was an unfurnished apartment for three times what he was paying before. Housings scarce in South Haven let alone cheap rentals Amu lines we mentioned last week that firemen in Van Buren county wanted no part of running an ambulance service if the sheriffs department gave up the task Well we be got to clarify that some. A fellow in the Covert fire department called and pointed out the voters Down there were in favor of an ambulance service in a recent election and that the fire department would provide it beginning in november or december when it receives its ambulance. A a we based our comment last week on the fact the county firemen a association rejected the ideas but the Govert fireman said his end so Day will then be set department argued life hours against that Resolution and then cast its vote against it. According to information reaching us South Haven fire chief Les Olmstead abstained from voting on the Resolution so we can to really say All the firemen in the county Are against providing ambulance service just most another lady called us and told us about an All Volunteer fire department in Ohio where a relative lives which sponsored an ice Cream social to finance running an ambulance which shows it can he done if you want to do it. People Are still spying if we can afford a Marina and things like that in this City we can certainly afford an ambulance service.

She argued that it was no ones business that her son received a ticket we said our reasoning was that it would he better for Pepple to read it in the paper based on facts in the police report than to get just bits and pieces of the Story in the Rumor Mill. She be convinced and Hung up Rajher madly. But then she called the next Day and said i apparently was right after All because people had actually been calling her to find out what her songs ticket was All about even before a Story about it appeared in the paper. To borrow a quip that appeared in a local stores and this week a if people done to know the trouble you be seen you done to live in a Small town wed Point out that its far better for folks to learn what you a done via the newspaper which tries to he accurate than from the grape Vine which never seems to get the whole Story. You a be surprised to know the number of things we pick up on that grape Vine which sound like Good news tips but when we Check them out the facts Are not always like the rumours had it or that there a More to it than that. In a town the size of South Haven where everyone seems to know everyone else or has at least heard of them people want to know just about anything their neighbors Are doing. That a Why we run such things As police stories and court reports that big City papers touch because who a care. We be now started running deed transfers for the Sale of land in South Haven and the township because we got an indication people were interested in this news too. Believe there a usually a Good reason behind most everything we do Hete although that reason May not always be apparent to you.
