Scouts at their Blue and Gold banquet—several Christmas trees given away by the Boy Scouts — Mrs. Orval Carr delivering in person, many items, candy, pastry, flowers, to neighbors, and others, over a known several year period —Ernest Buchholz, taking time to explain at length, “to a young saver upper”, all about train' 1 ' time, and berth cost, for a wished for night ride in a berth. The old story of a high school teacher, who asked a student,! “For what is December seventh remembered?” and was answered, I “That’s the day we beat Lafayette! Junior high, 68-55, is somewhat understandable, in these ‘Hoosier Hysteria Days.’ It is getting to be a puzzle, “What to call a habitation on the lakes!” So many new ones being built, so handsomely, palatial, colonial, etc., that “cottage" seems a gross understatement, as a description. Keith Cripe was out riding Sun-| day in his go-buggy, or was he going out to practice on John Sparling’s race track? A recollection of the time last year when the Girl Scouts gave an “Appreciation’ ’entertainment to their the Senior Mother’s Club, as the room was being prepared, a question was put from some Boy Scouts, “where will they all sit?” and away they went into the other room, and brought out their benches and chairs.

Observed in last week’s Issue of The Journal, was an Item about the Warsaw Gym, never being able to take care of ‘fan’ who wish to attend, and the article goes on to suggest that “the S. H. S. gym is not able to seat local fans, etc.” j Sara agrees heartily, for altho S. H. S. does try, still .even with the chairs tightly placed (as they must be on the floor for a maximum number)# John and Jane ■Doe must arrive quite early, to be certain of a seat. Another thing observed in The Journal last week, was the “scenery behind the ‘Syracuse-Wawasee Journal’ at the top of the front page, depicting, lake and golf recreAlon, and industry.” (Nice going Editor.) The Pollyanna 4-H club window exhibit, is making the public “hungrier.” County Ministers Meet The March meeting of the Kosciusko Coutny Ministerial Association will be held in the Syracuse Methodist Church, Monday, Mar. 12th, at 10 a. m.

Joe Hudson (Teen runnei>up) had a birthday party recently at his grandmother’s Oakwood cottage.
