A Rom where I sit... Joe Marsh ” ’ Well, What Do You Know?

Do you believe in a bunch of old tales about lightning —about how it’s attracted by cats or the warmth of cattle... how it never strikes in th< same place twice... or how it’s liable ta turn milk sour? Lots of people open do—but they’re wrong. Dad Hawkins inspired this column today. He’s really studied up on lightning since his own cow barn was struck that time. “Trouble is, most of us don’t know half enough ab'iut the subject,” P d E”*". “And about half of t 't.* ue t’o know is false!”

ver, Dr. and Mrs. O. C. Stoeltlng, and Rebecca Kitson. Joinlnp the group at the Ranch were Mr. and Mrs. Paul McClintic and eon of Toledo. GETS PROMOTION Fred Nolan has been notified that he has been promoted from Field Man to the position of advertising with the ffggzffff ff4&st»s 558555 cmfwyp Farmers Exchange of New Paris, Paris, taking the place of Wallace Searer, who Is leaving for Farmington, N. M. Fred is to take over his new duties beginning Monday, August 11th.

From where I sit, Dad’s statement applies to a lot of things besides lightning. Too many people think they know their neighbor’s wrong when he votes for his candidate instead of theirs. Some people even resent our right to enjoy a friendly glass of beer if and when we choose. Opinions based on misinformation and prejudice, instead of being “grounded” on true facts can cause more damage than lightning ever did.

WAWASEE LAKE South Shore. —“Perk-Inn” cottage, of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Perkins of Louisville, held a houseful of week end 2 guests,,Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Perkins, Mr. aad Mrs. F. H. Banks and son, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Boehl and daughters, Miss Sadie Finley and friend Mike, and Mr. and Mrs. Kaufmaa, all of Louisville, Ky. Kale Island. — Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Handy had as week end guests, Mr. and Mrs. I.eonard Peterson of Galva, 111. The Peterson’s who were on their way to Chicago, stayed two days longer than intended, for having never seen Wawasee, “it was much larger, and much prettier,” than they had thought, and so they enjoyed seeing more of it. Mr. and Mrs. Herb King were dinner hosts, Friday, to Mr. and Mrs. George Snyder of Miami, Fla., who were visaing in this vicinity, having come to the funeral of Mrs. Snyder’s brother Earl Walter. Mr. Walter, who had been playing at the Shriner’s Golf Course, (Twin Lakes, South Bend), was in the finals and had his opponent 3 dowr and made a wonderful tee shot. At that time, Mr. Walter went fcr a drink of water, and on his return, he fell in a fatal stroke. The opponent conceded the match. The Snyder’s visited Mrs. Tom Walter, while here. Tom Walter, now deceased, was a cousin of Earl. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder will be remembered by many people here as owner of the Syracuse Journal from 11912 to 1916, when it was located where the Syracuse Dry Cleaners are now. The Enquirer, a Bremen paper, in their recent “40 Years Ago” column, told of the Snyder’s purchase of the Syracuse paper from “Bill” Connolly. Mr. Snyder, in reno inescing, spoke of Ralph Thornburg, Sr., telling about their first coming to town,

when the Snyder’s had taken them to Chautaqua, (at that time was in the vicinity of the Huntington Street bridge). Mr. Snyder said he was reired -O° w > an< i glad of it. The Snydw’s bear every evidence of sufficient interests that keep them occupied satisfactorily. Ogden Island. — Mr. and Mrs. Joseph G. Hayes have the Dibbl er cottage this season, have their daughter June with them. June did not change her name with marriage, for her husband is John C. Hayes. John is in Korea, a helicopter pilot, and will be home the last of this month. Recent company of the Hayes’ were Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Nicholson, and June’s brother, Joseph C. Hayes and family, all of Louisville. The Nicholson’s arrived in town about midnight, and the Hayes’ met them at Wawasee Sportsman’s Center (which they thought was an easy-to-find meeting place) and on seeing Wawasee in daylight, they were amazed to find it so “large and beautiful.” Mrs. Nicholson caught a two pound bass, and “was it ever delicious, baked with bacon!” Mr. Joseph G. Hayes is a brother of Guy Hayes, Kale Island. Guy is an amiable guy* but he goes to Florida ‘wintertimes’ and comes home "with a tan that arouses jealousy among the stay-at-homes. Joseph G-, who now has his own printing shop, remembered sio years ago (he admits), when he ran a Simplex typesetting macbhine for the Whitley County News. Morison Island. — Recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Hattersley were Mrs. Frances Asay of Ft. Wayne, Mr. and Mrs. Loris D. Clark and son Donovan of Dayton, Ohio and Miss Dayle Satmary of Springfield, Illinosi. Mr. Clark is a brother of Mrs. Hattersley.

Around the Lake Here and there — Well, we now have our Turkey Creeks straightened out, or at least we think we do—Harold Kitson tells us the creek running out of Johnson’s Bay near the B. & O. railroad is not Turkey Creek, but. is Willis Creek—that leaves us with two Turkey Creeks, which could be the same, since they run out of opposite ends of the lake —With the end of the steel strike, we expect those empty gondola cars on the B. & O. sidings north or Wawasee to disappear — in addition to being an eyesore, they are a hazard at highway grade crossings—but empty cars must be stored somewhere. Continued — Last week end we had relatives visiting us from Pittsburg — “Where,” they asked us Sunday night, “are all the fish? We don’t think there are any in 'Wawasee”. We don’t know the answer, but we have seen several large size pike that we know weren’t bought in a fish market. Dan and Jim Berkey showed us a pike the other day that would have put aside any doubts concerning the quality and size of Wawasee fish—so we can only say that our family must have been doing their angling at the wrong time of day or week. Sailing—Snipe class boats from the Wawasee Yacht Club represented this lake at the;Michiana Championship Regatta last Saturday and Sunday — the event was held at Eagle Lake, Michigan just across the state line from Elkhart — Frank Levinson took first place in the Regatta with his brother Harry as crew — second place went to Jack and Bob Pfaff of Eagle Lake — but Mr. and Mrs. Alan Levinson of Wawasee took third — and Jack Tillman captured fourth, despite the fact that his crew was the writer of this article — the other three Wawasee boats also made a good showing, although their exact place in the final standing was not known at the time this was written —more than forty boats

were entered in the Snipe division. In and Out of Town — Surprised Monday morning to see a bright yellow telephone booth on the sidewalk in frdnt of the United Telephone Company Office—- — least it is strategically located —those looking for a pay telephone should not have to look far, at any rate. Still wonder what is going to happen to the house next to the Pickwick Theatre (Ed. note: Keith Cripe is remodeling it into a business room and apartments.) Has the fire department ever solved its housing problem? Believe the Weatherhead Company building is as an attractive looking factory building as you could find in anyone’s city, and is a definite asset to the community. Much building going on south of town on Road 13—including what we understand is to be a motor court. a. .. .
