WAWASEE LAKE CEDAR POINT — The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. John Runge was struck by lightning, just recently, and burned, with nothing left, but the frame, standing, an electric refrigerator, and a dress. The Runges had a grandchild, visiting, and Mrs. Runge, being somewhat wakeful, for the baby, smelled smoke. She had a hard time wakeening her husband, but they all did get out, just barely, just after Mr. Runge had gone to the utility room, at once, and noticing light through the keyhole, thought the electric light had been left on, but on opening the door, found the room in flames.

erator out. It is being checked to see if it is in good working order. Fire Departments eould not save the home, as the fire had too good a start. Mr. and Mrs. Runge’s son, who has a cottage nearby, is away, with a professional baseball team, so the Runge’s are in that cottage, for the time. It was a great tragedy to the Runge’s for, having been married quite some years, there are things that are gone, and not replaceable. Friends and neighbors along Wawasee, and Papakeechie have been very kind, and last Wednesday night a big surprise shower was given them, at the Turkey Creek Conservation Clubhouse. It was a “Pound Party’’— guests bringing a pound of anything. even to linens, weighing a pound. The Home Economics Club, the Conservation Club, and the Friendly Neighbors Club all combined to make it a real party. OAKWOOD PARK — Mr. and Mrs. Robert Philips and son. Bobby, of Denver.

Pack 56 representation was small, for many Scouts were confined with measles, whoopi&g cough, etc. Subsequently, all the Pack exhibits were not there, but there was a large tent, Indian style, with Indian motifs, painted on it, (the burlap was contributed by Royal Borton,) a “hogan”, which is a night shelter, various small items, games, etc. ** There was a full program for the afternoon, and early evening. Games, were played by parents, and Cubs, some of the mothers eventually dropped out, father manfully stuck until, Oscar Bjella and Cub Master Larson were left. Much to their surprise, they were “tagged” in a “run” game, and, after the first shock, it was found they could really run. ‘Eats’ were brought, or bought, other exhibits were looked over, and a general feeling of good fellowship shared with hundreds of others, was evident. Even to those who knew the Scouting Movement was widespread, hundreds of Scouters at this one place, this one day, was a bit surprising, but appreciated. Troop 28, Syracuse, was represented by “coming Jamboree-ers” Jerry Clark, Raymond Oyler, Bob Firestone, and Joel Bates, who prepared to camp overnight, and enjoy the evening’s program, campfires and singing, or “facsimile.” Exhibits of Cub Scout Packs, much older in existence, than Pack 56, were amazing in igenuity and arrangement, as were Boy Scout exhibits. Some notes were taken on various items, and may be had on request. ‘Sell you La or Sell you Out’ ETTER REAL ESTATE Syracuse Phone 230 R Office Home 83414.
