SARA-CUSE SAYS The grade school windows are bright with white doves carrying hearts, profiles of February’s great men, Washington and Lincoln, and more doves (could be doves of peace, we hope). A small bird, was observed having the time of his life on the bird feeder outside Mrs. Meredith’s window, all alone, with piles of bread crumbs. In the high wind at the week end, Wawasee Lake ice was blown across to Morrison Island, to the relief of some Ogden Island cottagers who have experienced stacks of it against their walls, in the past. Mrs. Henderson certainly has wider talents than making drapes, as evidenced by two fur capes, Which were formerly two fur coats owned by two local ladies. More changes ... an observer thought Grieger’s Store seemed brighter, and finally discovered a beautiful new light fixture near the front window and the Burkholder Rexall Store has had a new uplift, re-do and everything thrown up in the air, to come down in a different place .... look good, too! A robin, apparently fooled by both, Mr. Groundhbg and Mr. Mark Purcell, put in his appearance at Kendallville the fore part of last week . . . the first to be reported in these parts.

“Not Guilty” (continued from page 1) the state was Mrs. Elsa Eppert the wife of Clifford ,and a sister-in-law of the defendant. She said the defendant told her that she had burned some of the stolen goods, which according to Sheriff Latta and Detective Milbourne, the defendant had denied to them when they asked her about it. Mrs. Kay Hill, of Burket, the »wife of Phillip Hill and also a sis-ter-in-law of the defendant, said she was also told by the defendant that she had burned some of the stolen goods in her stove. Mrs. Bert Swank, who owns the Millard Eppert home and also j lives next door to the defendant, J testified that Mrs. Eppert had brought to her some five or six ladies dresses to make over into children’s clothes. The clothing had been identified as stolen goods. Judge Brubaker took the case under advisement for some ten minutes and then returned a “not guilty” verdict. The defense attorney, Robert Rasor, showed the court where Indiana courts in similar cases, had found that the wife of a man convicted of taking stolen goods into their home, could not be held guilty of the same crime or held accountable for his acts.

Continue Oakwood Road Case Arguments on a motion to dismiss the petition of Fred Dust and others for a public highway at Oakwood park and Lingofelter park, located on old highway 13, at Lake Wawasee, were heard Saturday by Judge Walter Brubaker in the circuit court room. The pre-trial conference was not completed by noon, and Judge Brubaker continued the case until March 1 . The petitioners several weeks ago had the proposed road approved by the county commissioners after viewers returned a favorable report. Remonstrators, headed by the Indiana conference of the E. U. B. church, which owns part of the land proposed to be made into a public highway, appealed the decision from commissioners’ court to circuit court and made a motion to dismiss the petition. The remopstrators were rep re-! sented in court by Attorneys I ' Hammerschmidt and Johnson, of I South Bend, and Attorneys Xanders, Flanagan and Xanders, o f Syracuse. Attorney Seth Rowdabaugh. of Warsaw, represented the petitioners. It was reported that the viewers, in declaring the proposed ; highway a public utility, assessed damages to the E. U. B. church at S4OO, which the church con- . tends is not nearly sufficient. If the highway is constructed, it i will be more than one-half mile in lenghth, 20 feet of which will go over land and a fence owned by the church.
