Although 4-year-old Heather Wilson "didn't like Santa Claus becduse I'm afraid of his beard" - she liked everything the old gentleman and her parents, Jim and Pat, brought to her new home at 558 North Hartman Street, Bright as a shiny new dime, eager to show her dolls and her "Busy Bug", Heather produced a variety of "smells" from the "Strawberry Shortcake" Creations she had received <Snd was verbal about the toys, her new house, her parents, and Flaherty Realty. "We re very happy here -and would eventually like to build on another room and a garage," said Jim, who is a set-up man at Ristance, Inc., Bremen. Both Pat and Jim have painted to suit their own taste and enjoy outside work -a good thing, since the house which filled their needs is surrounded by large enough for Heather to entertain friends from The North Main Street Mennonite Nursery School. * Both sets of grandparents Mable and Howard Reed, from Bremen, and Betty and Archie Wilson, Nappanee, were entertained over the holiday season as well. Pat, who "likes to bowl once in a while" has worked at Amish Acres in the past and, according to Heather, her parents' main activity is "playing cards at Grandma's".

deep and asked why such depth is needed. Street Superintendent Mishler replied that the pond would go dry in the summer if it was only two to three feet deep as Dermott proposed. The ponds are used for watering the golf course and handle drainage from field tile to the north. Mayor Callander commented that all he knew to do would be to post signs prohibiting climbing of fences at the golf course. He said he would discuss the matter with the Park Department In reports of city officers: -- Street Superintendent Mishler received approval to purchase a 1980 Ford one-ton pickup truck with dump bed formerly owned by Robinson and Price. The truck costs $6,400 but only $4,000 had been budgeted for anew vehicle. The balance will be covered by a transfer of funds from the department’s gasoline account.
