FRIENDSHIP The capacity for friendship, . among most of us, is very seldom used to a very good advantage within our immediate neighborhood. We use our time for other things and do not keep in touch with those who are near us. We feel that they make too many demands, that they want something in return for our friendship. We feel that they ask too much of us with the few follies and inconveniences that they put us io. So we turn to other things for our friendships; race drivers, ball players, news commentators, actors, authors and the books we read. We come into immediate defense of them when their ideas and expressions are questioned, when the ability of our favorite athlete is remarked about. They are given our unfailing support because they demand nothing but the admission price to the games or the turn of the dial of our radio in order for us to see them in action or hear their views on world news. These are our friends because they are always making clever remarks, never invite us to dull parties or make inconvenient demands of us. We return the favor of their goodness to us by going to see them or by dialing our radio to their program every day. Because these friends show up BO well in comparison to our neighbors, we neglect our neartst friends, for their companionship, and sometimes forget that we have any neighbors at all. *

NEWS IN 1908 Looking through some copies of the old Syracuse Journal, of the year 1908, we saw some items that were very interesting and which we know you will enjoy reading. We are not printing them word for word, but we shall give* you the thoughts as they were expressed, along with some explanatory information concerning them. We find that Walker and Fancil were the publishers of the old Journal which began publication on April 30, 1908, with an eight page, seven column paper. The Jounial carried regular columns of women’s fashions and household hints along with several essays by the high school graduates, among them being Preston H. Miles and Blanche O. Strieby. On May 7th, a picture of the new school building was printed on the front page, although the building was not completed at that time. The Syracuse Transportation company had just been organized by John Petersohn of Syracuse and A. C. Shanton of Indianapolis. The Star Store, The Syracuse Lumber Co., J. W. Rothenberger, Undertaker, W. G. Connolly, Realtor, Wm. Beckman, Capt. Rosson, C. E. Wilcox, J. S. Veirs, Greene’s Drug Store, and several others were regular advertisers at the time. An ordinance for the fixing of boundaries in Syracuse was priated under the signatures of J. U. Wingard, Pres., Fred Bundy, Sec., A. L. Cornelius, Att’y. The*State Bank of Syracuse was organized on May 11 with the Journal carrying pictures of the officers: Silas L. Ketring, Pres., Aaron A. Rasor, Vice-Pres., W. M. Self, Cashier, and Jos. P. Dolan, John Stillwell, R. N. Desjardins, as directors. John L. Sloan was united in» marriage to Malinda Snellinbcrger on May 23rd. M. iS. Locke received a patent on his invention, a vegetable cutter. In the issue of June 18, we find that Kosciusko county had twelve horse thief detective associations

organizer. William C. Gantz and Eva P. Woods were issued a marriage license. The town of Syracuse sponsored a big fourth of July celebration. The Pure Food Store, under the management of Seider and Burgenser, and the Hire Meat Market were opened the latter part of July. There is a lot more news in these old issues of the Journal, but space limits our printing even a small part of it. However, if any of our readers would like to come in and look over some of the old papers, they are entirely welcome to do so.

INCREASED CORN BORER DAMAGE ANTICIPATED Frequent rains during June, accompanied by favorable weather provided conditions almost ideal for European corn borer egg laying and borer establishment in ’he plants. And at the present time, the prospects for increased abundance and damage in many parts of the infested area of Indiana are gr?"ter than ever before, today announced G. A. Ficht of the entomology department of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Mr. Ficht reported that mo’.h flight, which has been under way since June 12, has been heavier and eggs more abundant than ever before. While some heavy downpours of rain have occurred in local areas which might reduce Infestations by washing off eggs and young borers, the climate over the infested area as a whole has been favorable to corn bt-rer increase. ..Heavy over wintering populations, resulting from the large second brood produced during 1938, have aided in prdducing the present serious situation, explained Mr. FichtCorn borer populations during 1938 were the heaviest anywhere in the state in southeastern Allen and in Adams Counties while 33 per cent of the Five-Acre Corn Club members in Allen, Adams, DeKalb, Wells and Huntington

WORK PROGRESSING Work on Henry street is progressing very rapidly where the WPA is building new Curbing. The project is placing new curbing on several streets in Syracuse this summer with about twenty-five men on the job. The streets in Syracuse are to be resurfaced at a later date, it is though*. RINK REUNION The annual Rink reunion was held at the Frank Rink cottage, at Ogden Island. Lake Wawasee. Sixty-five were present ani enjoyed a fine dinner. Recreation of all kinds were features. Guests were present from Cassopolis, Mich., Elkhart, Goshen, Kimmell, ( and Millersburg and community. KITCHEN COMFORT SUGGESTIONS GIVEN Kitchen comfort in the hot months is not only a matter of reducing the number of hot foods and the prolonged use of the oven, but Miss Starley Hunter, assistant state home demonstration agent leader of Purdue University, proving the arrangement of the kitchen to cut down the ne-. cessary steps and movements may result in cooler and less tired housewives. A good housekeeper moves in orderly sequence from the refrigerator to the work fable and sink, to the range, and to the dining fable without crisscrossing of paths, x Food is prepared chiefly at the / sing and work table. Where is it stored before work is begun. Docs the homemaker have to cross the room continually to get her materials, or are they kept within easy reach, in the food-storage cupboard, the refrigerator, and possibly the vegetable bin? 4Jow near is the refrigerator to « the food-preparation table? Could it be nearer? , When the food is ready to cook, how near is the stove? If the various pots and pans have to be filled with water, are they handy to the sink? Are most of the small implements and pans hung up, or does one have to rummage abound in drawers and closets to ?et*tbem Out? What distance is walked in setting the table, from the plac® where the china glass, and silverware are kept? Could these things be stored more conveniently? A dish cupboard within arm’s reach of the sink is a great step-savei, especially if it runs through the partition to the dining room side. If this can’t be arranged a wheel tray will save a lot of steps at mealtimes. With the four main work centers well planned, for preparation of raw food, cooking, serving, and clearing up, the next step for summer work-saving is to eliminate articles that are not used much during, hot weather. Decide which utensils might as well be stored away until fall, and push to the back of the shelf some of the supplies that go with winter baking and seasoning. Counties reported com merc.’al damage by the borer during 1938 It is in these counties that the damage is likely to be ttie heaviest during this season, thought Ficht, but increased populations ;over those of 1938 may be anticipated in all or most of the known infested area in Indiana.
