Ditch Objectors Must File Prior To July 21st I ■ Petitions are now available for propetry ownerb to protest assesments made in the Turkey Creek ditch cleanout. These must be signed and in the Kosciusko county clerk’s office by July 2.1, when a hearing will be held on the matter before the county surveyor. Forms for protesting may be secured at the R. C. Howard electric store, from Dr. O. C. Stoelting or at the Journal office. The form must show the correct name of owners of the real estate, give the legal description of same, and cause for protest. There are eight printed paragraphs on the form, and each real estate owner will use those which apply to him. The others will be crossed out. Farmers in 'turkey Creek township are protecting because of growing timbef that will be destroyed, lowering water level which will effect wells and pasture land and because the proposed expenses! will be greater than benefits. Town and lot owners are protesting because the proposed ditch will no ddubt lower water level in the ground, and effect water levels in Syracuse and Wawasee lakes, where three million dollars worth of real estate would be affected adversely. The proposed ditch is to cost $85,000,000 and benefits shbuld be at least that much. Local citizens point out that this community could suffer a loss that would run into the millions if lake levels drop even a foot or two or three or four. July 21st will be the last chance to protect, so those who want to fight this must do so at once.

“POLIO SEASON” NOW GETTING UNDER WAY Although the so-called “polio season” is only now getting underway, The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis has already made cash advances to Indiana county chapters totalling according to Robert H. Branson, Foundation representative for southern Indiana. Advances to chapters are made upon their request after their individual treasuries have been wiped out by the costs of polio care within their respective counties, Branson said. Counties receiving cash advances are: Howard, $11,500; Huntington, $5,300; Kosciusko, $5625; LaPorte, $7325; Miami, $10,925; Montgomery, $3000; Starke, $2270; Whitley, $2750; Tipton, $1650; Wabash, $2'900; Wells, $3750; Fountain, $4950; Hamilton, $5,125; Parke, $1500; Union, $6200; Vanderburgh, $9525; Warrick, $7150 and Spencer, $2700. Requests for advances have been made by Clinton, • Fayette and Randolph Counties and their checks are expected in the next few days, Branson said. Although there have been 27 new polio cases reported in Indiana since January 1, 1950, most of the money expended so far this year has been in continuing financial assistance to patients who were stricken in 1949 and previous years. However, with more than 80% of all polio patients being assisted financially by March of Dimes funds, the drain from this year’s incidence, which so far is higher than that for a comparable period in 1949, is already being felt, Branson pointed out. Projected nationally, Mr. Branson cited figures released today by The National Foundation’s president, Basil O’Connor. A record total of $30,783,000 was contributed last January to the 1950 March of Dimes and now is being spent at an unprecedented rate to fight polio, Mr. O’Connor said. The comparable figure last year also a record, was $25,728,000. However, virtually all 1949 funds —plus $4,000,000 raised in the National Foundation’s first emergency appeal last Setpember — have been used to help care for 4£,375 new polio patients in 1949, the largest number ever recorded in one year. Mr. O’Connor disclosed that most of the funds spent since January Ist were for 17,000 of last year’s patients who need continuing assistance for care. He said that 467 of the National Foundation’s 2,822 local chapters already have spent . all assets which remained at the end of last year and all local funds contributed during the March of Dimes this year. The number of new cases this year, he said, is slightly ahead of the same period in 1949 as the nation nears the season when heavy incidence of polio usually occurs. Mr. O’Connor said that emergency aid totaling $2,666,129.70 has been advanced to chapters already this year. States which have received more than $200,000 each from national headquarters include Arkansas, Michigan, Minnesota and Texas- California and Illinois have received more than $150,000 each. The three and their March of Dimes totals were New York, $3,700,000; California $2,390,000, and Illinois, $1,858,0000. Indiana raised $710,000. Mr. O’Connor declared that while the cost of patient care has increased, “the national foundation also has stepped up to the limit of our resources the research program to find a preventive or cure for the disease. “The result of this research, probably the most extensive voluntary program ever leveled against a single disease, is new knowledge about infantile paralysis. Scientists are more optimistic now than ever before that they are .on the right track to an ultimate solution.” Mr, and Mrs. Dale W’eingart have returned to Syracuse from Muncie, Mr. Weingart having finished his course, at Ball State college. Mrs. Lena Gants, of Warsaw, was a guest several days last week, of Mrs. Ida Hamman and daughter Lillian. They all spent one day near Mentone with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shock. Mr. Shock had just returned home, from the hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Plank, of Rockford, 111., and Mrs. Virgil White, of Garrett, were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Plank and daughter.

More than $5,000 was set aside this year. A request by William Orr of the County Fair association that $5,000 be appropriated for the 1951 fair was considered and the commissioners tentatively decided that on a top figure of $4,000. 4-H Asks Fair Fund A delegation which included Assistant County Agent William Johnson and Mrs. Glenn Snellenberger appeared to ask an appropriation of $1,033 for 4-H activities at the 1'951 county fair was considered and a maximum figure of SI,OOO was tentatively decided upon by the commissioners.

LAKE ASSOCIATION IN ANNUAL MEETING The Syracuse Lake Co-opera-tive Association held their annual meeting at the Sargent Hotel on Tuesday evening. Members, their families and friends, representing the larger part of the membership, enjoyed a pleasant meeting of friends and neighbors. There were 115 present. Mrs. Paul Hazen, professionally known as “Dixie Lee” played and sang many songs before and during the dinner to the delight of those dining especially those singled out for “special attention”. Sasha, the talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Millard Hire, sang some beautiful songs beautifully which was greatly appreciated.

Around Lake and Town

Cruising Around The past week has been a busy one for every one in, near or about these parts. In spite of bad weather the roads were jammed and the water was fairly “loaded” with boats of every kind shape and description. Fortunately we had no casualties. On the water the record was perfect and while not so good on shore - the accidents were, so far, not fatal. To our knowledge there was only one veyy serious affair which involved a head-on collision by Fred Shipman. The Sportsman’s Show had every possible set-back in weather and a big disappointment due to bad track conditions that prevented racing. The same weather prevented a dumber of scheduled events but didn’t seem to dampen the spirits of thousands who attended in spite of everything. Fourth of July was really good and the fireworks exceptional excepting that it was difficult to view some of the ground displays from the lake and again “Old Man Weather” was of no help with his dishing out a quite chilly evening, and this on the fourth. Just isn’t fair. Lakes Patrol The Patrol Boat was on duty fourteen hours on the 4th of July and constantly available with many hours oP duty on the previous days of the week-end with the result that there was a decided tendency toward SAFETY by most boaters. X Numerous cases of OVERLOADED BOATS were noted and these persons were cautioned and in all cases sent to shoye to lighten their load. People just don’t learn or don’t realize the hazards involved in this sort of thing and we aren’t anxious nor do we want an accident like Clear Lake experienced last year when two Fathers lost four children who were with them when an overloaded boat turtled there. Nor do we like to think of the case at Tippecanoe just three weeks ago when a ten year old was lost and it took two weeks to locate the body. We could go on indefinately citing the sad news from surrounding localities but we like to think that with the aid of “Patrolled Waters” and proper safety precautions both Syracuse and Wawasee are going to continue to be among the safest and best spots for our children’s safety and the safety of those visiting us. Wild Speed Boats Continue. Fast night riding should be curbed. There have been several rather silly actions by speed boats driven by older persons who should know

The hotel management contributed to a successful meeting by furnishing a fine dinner and excellent service. The business part of the program was conducted as rapidly as possible. Mr. Harold (Cap) Johnson and Mr. Don Rinehart were elected to the Board of Directors. Graham, McConnell was re-elected. J In other words, “A good time was had by all.” Pythian Club to Warsaw The members of the Pythian Association will go to Warsaw next Wednesday, July 19, where they will be guests of the Warsaw Pythians for a pot-luck dinner. Anyone desiring to go call Mrs. A. J. Babcock or Mrs. Hugh Causer.

better. One man cut behind a speed boat and in front of a skiier. Luckily nothing happened excepting the dampened spirits of the skiier but on Lake James last year a promising young man lost a life by an identical action. Legs and arms and even heads have come off in the devastating lash of the “props” of ill-managed speed boats. It seems odd that persons will put' in the hands of youngsters and incapable persons a boat that cost more than their car and is twice as dangerous. Too bad that some persons can’t apply the “rules of the road” to their water activities. Swimmers Endangered Speed boats and out boards cutting in close to shores and piers and encircling sail boats are certainly guilty of “Reckless driving”. One sail boat lost a mast and was badly damaged and by nothing less than several fast outboards and a speed boat thought it was funny to see it rock. The old addage of “don’t rock the boat” certainly should apply to many cases that might otherwise end in disaster. Gardens In Full Bloom Many lake gardens are to be seen in all their glory by those driving around the lake roads. North shore has some,especially beautiful ones west of Sargent’s Hotel and Ned Newell's Rose gardens are really an unusual sight. Several hundred roses of very special variety are there to be admider. Lilly’s estates are unusaully prolific in their blossoming and their Formal Gardens West of Rockwells Gift shop are someing to see. The Long Japanese Gardens are more beautiful than ever right now and there has been much done there to enhance the beauty, if possible, of an already superb display of masterly gardening and landscaping. South Shore boasts a great many, beautifully kept and arranged gardens that are on both sides of the road. As you turn left and follow the Lake Road there are Remy’s and .Adams’, Abts, Teetor’s again and Brannon’s. It is almost impossible to enumerate all the »spots that are worth seeing but a tour of the lake from the Shore Roads is worth the time. Again we ask for cooperation in keeping our Township safe for our many children who are here to enjoy the many benefits and pleasures which are so easily and readily theirs.

G. O. P. PLANS “DAWN TO DUSK” 1950 CAMPAIGN INDIANAPOLIS, July 13 Plans for a dawn-to-dusk campaign throughout the state, beginning immediately, were made July 5» at a luncheon meeting of the candidates on the Republican state ticket. The meeting was held on the call of Cale J. Holder, Indiana Republican State Chairman, and included all nominees named at the Republican state convention June 30, including U. S. Senator Homer E. Capehart. '“Our campaign is to be active, tireless and thorough,” said Holder. “It will be coordinated with the campaigns of the 11 Congressional candidates, and with those of the Republican nominees for the 1951 Indiana General Assembly and for county and township offices. .“We Will retain the initiative and remain on the offensive. In the four months between now and the November election, we intend to carry the issues into every Hoosier home. “We want the Indiana voters personally to see candidates, and we feel that the voters are entitled to know what we stand for. Our fine state ticket was nominated at a free and unbossed convention, and we have nothing to hide. “In contrast, the Democratic ticket was determined months ago and was duly ratified at the Democrat state convention after a sham battle between Mr. Campbell and Mr. Jacobs. The yawns and apathy of the Democrat delegates themselves were the natural results of the goose-stepping that is ruthlessly enforced by the Democratic high command sitting in Washington. “All we ask is that the people of Indiana themselves decide, as individuals, whether they prefer our candidates and our policies, or whether they want to continue the reckless program of Truman’s terrible taxes, regimentation of workers and farmers and housewives, Reds and pinks in the government, appeasement and retreat in world affairs, and the rapid decay of government morals wherever the destroying hands of the Socialistic bureaucrats have reached. “We are appealing to all the citizens of Indiana, regradless of previous party affiliations, to vote Republican next November. “This means that there’s to be no front-porch campaign for any Indiana Republican nominee. They are going out among the people—into every county—in the fightingest, most aggressive campaign Hoosierland has ever known.” 348 STUDENTS AT I. U. SOUTH BEND CENTER Three hundred and forty-eight students are enrolled for summer work at Indiana University’s South Bend-Mishawaka Center in South Bend, Jack Detzler, the center’s director, has announced. The University’s eight off-campus centers this summer have a combined enrollment of 3,630 students with the Gary Center, which has 770 students, having the largest enrollment. DONATES CASH TO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Rue Hunnicutt, Lake Wawasee, owner of the Wawasee Amusement Park, won the first prize (outboard motor) at the recent Sportsman’s Show, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hunnicutt sold the motor a few days after the show, and donated the proceeds, $125.00, to the Chamber of Commerce to aid it in its lake patrol and other community projects. FIREMEN MAKE RUN The Syracuse Fire Department was called to the Raymond Vail farm Wednesday evening, when a gas engine on a hay bailer caught fire. The engine was badly damaged but the fire was prevented from spreading to anything else. The firemen, at their regular meeting Wednesday night, ordered a new SBOO.OO E. & J. Resuscitator, to be installed in the first aid truck. The new outfit will be able to take care of three patients at one time, and is automatic and foolproof. The firemen will stage a drive to aidt hem in paying for the machine. , It is expected to be received here this week. The Robert Searfoss family held a family dinner party last Monday night at their home on Papakeechie lake in honor of the birthday of Bob’s father, Mr. Sam Searfoss.

New Grid Built At City Sewerage Disposal Plant The new grid and electric pumping station is being finished this week by the Phend & Brown company, of Milford, for the town of Syracuse at its sewage disposal plant on Turkey Creek, west of town. A concrete grid has been constructed and two electric motor driven pumps are being installed. These new pumps will increase the capacity for pumping out sewers in the town of Syracuse, several times over the temporary pumps set up. Last January when a record 13 inch rain fell during the ’month, the pumps in operation were not large enough to take care of the increased water and for the first time since they were built in 1937, there was considerable backing up of water /> in Jpwn sewers. The new pumps should be able to handle any difficulty such as occurred then. The cost of -the grid is near $1600.00.
