giving the company three manufacturin gplants. Following the 1947 fire, offices were moved into the comer room of the Pickwick building for the remainder of 1947 and 1948 and expansion was made at the Bremen plant replacing the Syracuse building.

just 10 years after the Syracuse fire, operations started in Syracuse again. The offices were then moved to Syracuse in 1958 and the Bremen plant was closed January 1. 1959 with the Bremen facilities leased and later sold. Much expansion and construction has gone on in later years with the business now having seven plants throughout the United States and the eighth under construction in Pennsylvania. ■- Inclement weather, with rains much needed in the Lakeland area, made it necessary to cancel the ski show scheduled for the week end but a nice clearing period late Sunday night made it possible to continue with the scheduled fire works at the citypark. A sight to behold in addition to the display which ended With a beautiful and well-planned grand finale, were the many boats lining the lake area near the display and their return across the lake homeward bound.

Dick Harney, son-in-law of the Curlee Nashes. has become the proud owner of the Rockville Tribune in Parke county and its sister paper, and is doing a masterful job of updating the county seat papers. A veteran of the Elwood CallLeader, he has the experience and go-power to measure up to his new task. One must hand it to Chris Koher, Lakeland Kiwanis president, for his adroit handling of committeeassignments. Any member in /iew of gavelwielding Cl/ris, whose jp presence seems to prevail as he presides at club meetings, might be handed such an assignment with such quiet assurance that he could not refuse. Several Syracuse Lions members have suggested their club donate at least a tank of gas to Noble C. Blocker to cover part of his expenses for trips he made to sell tickets for their annual fish fry. The success of this year's event was due in no small part to Blocker's advanced sales efforts. He made the rounds of the court house in Warsaw and went as far as Etna Green to tap old cronies to make a sale. Look for a Wawasee Village business to close its doors within the next several weeks. Wawasee Property Owners' Association members turned out to make this year's free pancakesausage breakfast a success. Barrister Bob Reed, attorney for the group, would like it known he "poured.” He stuck right to the job, incidentally, until the last person went through the line. Nice to see Bill Kern on a bicycle Tuesday morning after being disabled for quite sometime.

A call Wednesday afternoon from a local citizen wondering why a warning is not given in the town when a tornado is sighted here, adding that one touched down at a mobile home park at the north edge of town and no one was inf (Mined, brought an inquiry from this office to local authorities. They report one was not sighted nor reported to them and that if the threat did come an alert would be sounded. Trucks with speakers and the police car and flashing lights would be in full force and the town’s alert system for fire and first aid calls would sound constantly. Characteristics of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are being reprinted plus safety precautions elsewhere in this issue for convenience and desire of those needing the information. A Main street announcement on the window of Auer’s Service Station failed to make the paper last week due to a number of phones out of commission Wednesday morning. We are sorry.

An unusual plea was made this week by Tom Strickler, president of the fair board, and youngsters may do well to heed his request. A quantity of lively, hungry, mice will be needed for the police and firemen at the fair according to Strickler and they request the mice be brought to the fire station at 10 a.m. Saturday at which time rewards will be given. Check this one out. Kiddies.... According to an announcement this week, Wawasee Prep, the private boys school at Lake Wawasee, will go coeducational in the fall when it opens it’s 33 year history. The Church of the Little Flower nearby is being converted into a girls dormitory and will be renamed Noll House in memory of the late Bishop Noll who built the chapel nearly 46 years ago. “. . . Providing light, heat and energy fpr half a million homes will cause a certain amount of pollution, whether it is done by a coal-powered generating station or by half a million individual fires,” states Dr. Glenn Seaborg, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.
