Editorials MILESTONE IS REACHED Most of us around the Journal office have the feeling that a milestone was passed some time last week, although we're not sure just when. Perhaps we feel this way because the production of the paper was on schedule all week. Perhaps it was because we had finally caught up with a tremendous backlog of job printing which had been building up since early June. Maybe it was just the seasonal transition from the rush and hubbub of the summer season to the more leisurely pace which must surely lie ahead—or again it may be that, since last week end, we had a chance to take a "breather” and an opportunity to reflect a little, and plan a little. Under the heading of “reflections” we found a good many things to be thankful for. When we purchased the Journal last June first, we acquired a fine newspaper property, but with a badly ailing plant. First, we had the problem of how to get the work done, properly, in an inadequate plant—24-hour days simply were not long enough. Then we decided to re-equip and modernize the plant and the next problem became: how to do this when our days were already completely taken up. We’re not sure just how we managed. But now, when we survey our completely rearranged and modernized printmg plant, we know that, somehow, we did manage. During this period of renovation and remodeling, the demands on our shop for both advertising and printing were greater than at any comparable period in the history of the newspaper. And since we could not foresee this, and could do little but explain, we disappointed many good people. Some jobs were not delivered at the promised time. Some ads could not be set up’in time to appear in the paper. Many news stories, written and turned in at proper times, did not appear in print simply because there were not enough hours in the day in which to set them up. Subscribers failed to get their papers. Customers were billed for amounts they had already paid. All told, a rather large and distressing num- . her of errors were made by us. But through all this period—now happily ended —we, the newcomers—were but lightly taken to task. Instead, we experienced not only a friendly spirit but a genuine welcome and a forbearance which w’as heartwarming. It not only softened the period of trial, it renewed and strengthened our confidence in the community we lad chosen. It convinced us beyond any doubts that when we chose Syracuse, Indiana, as the scene of our efforts—we not only chose wisely, but well. It would be less than fitting were we to let this milestone pass without expressing our appreciation to all of those who bore with us while the going was rough. We therefore extend our heartfelt gratitude to a community of which we are proud to be members.

Sara Case Says . ♦ By Ai dis Larson. While staying in South Bend last week, this ’Cusan longed for Syracuse-My Town! Being accustomed to the easy walk to downtown Syracuse, this temporary city-dweller was downright terrified by the roar of the trains, hundreds of trucks, the jerk and groan of bus brakes, and the coldness of busy people whizzing by without time to stop and say “Hello, how are you?’’ Yessir, even for an ex-dweller of Indianapolis, Cincinnati and South Bend, we sure have developed a great fondness for Syracuse, Indiana. Believe me, the city holds no charm—we still prefer the song of the B. & O. trains, the friendliness, the noon whistle, the school bell, the simmer bustle followed by the wintertime leisure. That’s try Syracuse- and that’s for Sara! • Flickingers' Is Only Public Beach on Lake Flicking er Beach, in the map location of Waveland Beach, is the only complete public beach on Lake Wawasee. The beach was started in the early ’3o’s by the late Harry Flickinger, who built a patio and a long line of steps leading to the water. «, Later. Ike Klingaman put up his famous “slide” near his store on Buttermilk Point. Ike. now deceased. was known to hundreds of the ‘lake? crowd’ who found Buttermilk Point a wonderful place to bathe and have parties. Mrs. Klingerman, who is in her “young 80’s” still runs the beach and picnic grounds across the road from the beach. When asked u’hy. with the high cost of living, she never had raised the price for the use of the beach and bathing facilities, Mrs. Klingerman said. “Harry set the price and as long as I’m living it will remain the same.” Flickinger Beach was always a good place to swim and it is one of the best places to view Lake Wawasee, Try a summer evening sunset from the grassy lawn on top the hill and you’ll know what we mean. By the way. there’s no charge for that! STUDENTS’ PICTURES TAKEN Yesterday the photographer was at Syracuse High School to take class pictures.

tFrom where I sit... by Joe Marsh Slugger Wins the "Home" Game

Slugger White, the home town’s star hitter, dropped by the other day to talk baseball, and to “tell, •ne” on himself. Seems Slugger had been babysitting. “I was doing just fine,” he said, “until it was time for a I called Mom for advice. Still didn’t get it right Then Dad •et me straight” “‘Place the diaper like a baseball diamond with you at bat* he •aid. ‘Fold second base over home plate, and pin first and third base on home plate.* That did it—with no errors!”

From where I sit Slugger’s Dad had the idea. Often, like his Mom, a lot of us tend to give advice in our terms without considering the other fellow’s way of doing things. Even in choosing your favorite beverage, it’s best to think of your neighbor. If you like tea, and I prefer a temperate glass of beer, we should both “play the game” and try to un-< derstand each other’s point of. view.
