McCLINTIC REUNION HELD The ninth annual McClintic reunion was held last Sunday, August 6th, at Posey Inn, Buttermilk Point, on. Lake Wawasee, with over one hundred members and friends of the family present to enjoy a full day of entertainment. | Devotion at dinner Was given by Ira Mock of Plymouth, and after dinner was served, devotion in memory of those deceased, and an address with “Home” as the topic, was given by Rev. Purdy of Syracuse. The address by Rev. Purdy was very interesting in that it brought to light the fact that God should be taken into the home if it is to be preserved and home relationship should be brought closer to God and the right. Election of officers was held after the address with Eston E. McClintic of Syracuse being chosen president and Mrs. Lizzie Lemon of Cromwell was elected sec-retary-treasurer for the 9th consecutive time. Everyone had a fine time and all are expecting to meet again on the first Sunday in August in 1940.

WOMEN’S BUSINESS CLUB HOLDS PARTY TUESDAY The local Business and Professional Women’s Club held a lovely dinner party at the Sargent Hotel last Tuesday evening with eighteen members and one guest, Miss Irene Abts, present to enjoy the three course dinner at 7 o’clock in the hotel dining room. Centered table decorations were of beautiful canary-yellow gladioli and place cards were appropriate with favors distinguishing the business or profession of each individual. This was quite novel and certainly was very clever since each favor was different from the others. Immediately following .he dinner, a short business session was held in which future plans were discussed. The committee in charge of arrangements included Mrs. George Hire, Mrs. Joe Ruch and Mrs. Lou Seider.

WAWASEE BOY HOOKS SELF: “PAIN IN NECK,” HE SAYS Eight-year-old Richard Huffer, of Lake Wawasee, caught something on his casting outfit late Saturday. He caught Richard right in the back of the neck. He was taken to the Murphy hospital by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Huffer, where the fish hooks were removed. “It’s just a pain in the neck,” says Richard. STAR BOARDERS AT MRS. WALES MACY’S A human interest story that came our way is the story of Mrs. Macy and her “cat food”. It seems that Mrs. Macy feeds her pet cats a special food which is similar to salmon. She had gotten in the habit of rinsing out the pan in the lake after the pets had been fed. Much to her surprise one day, Mrs. Macy noticed that schools of bluegills would immediately surround that spot and try to capture any remains that were on the surface of the water. Now Mrs. Macy puts a small amount of the food on the water, in order to enjoy the spectacle , and the fish make it a regular feeding place. The Grieger reunion was held on Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Grieger on Syracuse Lake. Lieutenant-Colonel Russell B. Moore is taking his annual training at Fort Knox, at Louisville, Kentucky. DON’T FORGET! The Journal is located on Henry Street. Phone 842
