The controversy is on regarding the taking of marl from Lake Wawaseei and the statement Is made by! the restorers that the lake wilk be destroyed. The very presence of the marl indicates that the lake is gradually filling up; Mai y of the older citizens can remember the days when the present iaarshes were all deep water. Fart of this town is built on land :hat was once a portion of the lakes. If the marl is not removed > and kept off the lake bottom, then as surely as the sun rises and sets.

SYRACUSE-WAWASEE JOURNAL

AROUND TOWN (With J. B. C.) • This week we write “thirty” for Ira Howard, veteran lewspaper employee and a f< rmer publisher. Born in Syracuse, he spent his early life here. ’Vhile a young man he joined a < ircus and did odd jobs, ran side s hows and finally became a clowr and tight rope walker. This last trick was the means of bringing him back to Syracuse. He fell from a tight Wire which was strekphed between the second stories of two buildings in a southerr Illinois town. A broken leg r esulted. That ended his circus, life, but did not detract from h s interest in them. He probably has worked in every newspaper office that has operated in Syracuse. He also did several “stretches” in cities. He roved to fish and spent a great deal of time on the lakes here. His jovial disposition, genuine friendliness, a knack of telling good jokes and historical happenings; endeared him to hundreds of people here. • A “code” in the head the past two weeks has just about stopped production at our office. We actually were ashamed of the make-up on last week’s paper. But “flu” is no respector of persons—Dr. Landis and his wife both had it—and Dr. Fosbi ink’s wife also. • We’ve had so little real fashioned winter here, that some folks think that now we wi I get by easy. We’ve had just one spell of zero weather —no high winds and very little snow. Its too good to last. > • The lakes have been jus perfect for ice skating this s< ason. Large numbers of young feiks—and several not so young—are making good use of it, too • “We recommend that yen see “Claudia” at the Pickwick heater, starting Sunday. It’s plenty good entertainment. • Local merchants report business of 25 to 50 percent Ibove normal during December. Almost everybody’s got. mone ■ and wants to ; spend it.
