Syracuse-Wawasee Journal

Number 5

WE’VE BEEN SABOTAGED! After printing the first run of The Journal this week, we find where the gremlins or some other low life, had inserted a story about two local hunters, that certainly did not ring true. The story was twisted and the proof we offer that the Editor was not the hunter who rode the deer, is the fact that Roscoe Howard has been nursing a strained back all week! Chicago Plays Host To Nation’s Youngsters Chicago, Nov. 12. —Young farm boys and girls from across the nation will again play a major role in the big events of the International Live Stock Exposition« Greatest* livestock event in the world, the International Stock Show is set for November 24 for an eight-day run through Dec. 1 in the International Ampi-theatre of the Chicago Stock Yards. Youngsters have always been an inportant part of the Exposition, showing the International grand champion steer fifteen times since they were permitted to compete in the open classes in 1928. Similarly they have shown grand champion barrows and lambs in competition with adult livestock feeders and breeders. A young Texas lad, Lloyd Robinson of Big Springs, Texas, last year showed his blocky Hereford calf to the grand chompionship of the fat steer show. The outstanding steer, named “Big Spring Special’’, was later auctioned to establish a record price of $12.00 per pound, enriching young Lloyd $12,300 to» start his own purebred Hereford ranch. The Junior Livestock Feeding Contest in which boys and girls show baby beeves, lambs and barrows of their own raising is among the curtain-raisers of the show on Saturday, Nov. 24. But many more activities for boys and girls bring them into the limelight during International Week. The 30th National 4-H Club Congress will be held in downtown Chicago, bringing delegates from most of the states, Canadian provinces and a number of foreign countries. They will be the very cream of the nation’s farm youngsters, winning their trips to Chicago through accomplishments ni agriculture. Wednesday afternoon of the great stock show, the massed 4-H Club Congress members will attend the horseshow matinee in the International Amphitheatre. That evening, before a packed audience of spectators, they will parade, 15 o'o strong, around, the arena in a spectacular pageant. Judging contests are also slated for youths engaged in agriculture. College-age men and women will have their Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest while club youngsters will have their Junior Livestock Judging Contest. They will be rated on their ability to correctly judge the quality of cattle, sheep, swine and horses. ART CLUB MEETS The Art Club met Monday in the Syracuse Lake home of Mrs. Ernest Bushong, a special event, inasmuch 1 as it was the first time the Club has met in the new home. Mrs. Bushong had a Chili Supper on a beautifully appointed table, the decorations following a theme of bountiful harvest. All members were present, and also a guest, Mrs. Arnold E. Olson, the former Mary Jo Kroh. The club members also enjoyed the lesson of the evening, making decorations, small beads, coral, tinsel, etc., for miniature Christmas trees.

Gash and Mrs. Gash of Lawrenceburg, Ky., and also a week with their daughter, Mrs. Raymond Fye of Indianapolis.

Scout Cabin Is > Undergoing Improvement The Scout Cabin is undergoing an improvement program this week. Members of the Lions Club have undertaken to furnish the labor to put in a ceiling at the building, so that the heating problem can be overcome. The material for the ceiling is being furnished at less than half price by Rotarian Bernard Fitzgerald. The Scout Cabin is being administered by a board representing the four sponsors of Scouting here—the Business & Professional Women’s Club, the Senior Mothers Club, the Junior Mothers Club, the Rotary Club and the Syracuse town board. The four organizations named have aided in various ways in securing the money needed to pay for work on the cabin. The Lions worked Monday and Tuesday nights, and plan to finish up the job in the very near future. This will enable the various Scout groups to meet at the cabin in cold weather with more comfort than was experienced last winter. The Scout Cabin is regularly used four nights each week.

Warn Local Residents Os Fake Furnace Repair A warning was issued this week at the meeting of the Syra-cuse-Wawasee Rotary Club by President Fred Clark, asking all members to spread the information that a group of fake furnace repair men have been operating in this community. Several families of local residents were named who have been victims. One local couple, both elderly people, have been sued when they refused to continue payment on a contract they signed. The usual procedure is for a smooth-talking salesman to ask the housewife ( they seem to pick on elderly people) to inspect the furnace. Some small change is recommended, especially in those units converted from coal to oil. When the furnace is partially torn down, alarming results are shown the owner by an “engineer.” A high-pressure sales talk is put on and soon the householder is signing a work order, which turns out to be an iron-clad contract. Prices are two to three times what any Syracuse plumber would charge, and work is very sloppy. If any unknown furnace salesman calls upon you, asking for work, that in itself is a dead giveaway. No matter how “famous” a naine, the salesman and “engineer” may represent, actual cases of fraud and misrepresentation in Syracuse have been charged against the firm. Newspaper accounts from Michigan also bear out these charges. Your local furnace man will be glad to give you advice free, and give you value received on your job if you really need a change made. Know who you are dealing with, and read carefully anything you sign. President C. G. Etter of the Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting Tuesday night, also urged members of the C. of C. to tell all their friends of this vicious racket. CELEBRATES 84th BIRTHDAY Mrs. Ida Guy celebrated her 84th birthday, Sunday, November 11th at her home south of Syracuse.

Drunken Driver Arrests Up 22 Percent In Indiana Indianapolis, Nov. 12.—-Drunk-en driver arrests by State Police troopers were up 2'2 per cent in the first nine months this year, Arthur M. Thurston, department superinetndent, announced yesterday. Other traffic enforcement by troopers was up in proportion, he said. At the end of September, suspected drunken driver apiwehensions totaled 553 more than in the same period a year ago. Arrest figures for the two ninemonth periods are 3,018 this year as compared with 2,465 in 1950. “It is my opinion that Indiana judges and prosecutors are dealing more and more vigorously with the drinking driver menace,” Mr. Thurston said. He pointed out that justice of the peace courts are limited by lawin the amount of fines assessed. Citizens were urged by the State Police official to take a more active part in combatting the intoxicated driver problem. He asserted: “I fear that sometimes the people who demand enforcement action are prone to reverse their field w-hen asked to appear as prosecuting witnesses or serve as jury members.’ Troopers, he said, investigate 45 per cent of the reported rural accidents, which is higher than the national average for police. All rural fatal accidents are investigated by State Police or sheriffs’ departments. In the first eight months this year reported traffic crashes were up 17.8 per cent, while investigations of collisions by troopers increased 21 per cent. Pfc. Hugh Neer came from Camp Lejuene, North Carolina, Saturday afternoon to spend the week-end with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Galen Neer, who are making their home with Mrs. May Kindig.

Visual aids are particularly valuable in teaching the sciences, geography, and the social studies. Tuesday night, November 20th, at 8 o’clock in the High School study hall, the parents will have a chance to see in what manner the students are approaching the subject thru picture language.
