Table of Comments By the Editor This is National “No Column" Week, which, insolar as we can learn from usually reliabe sources (we were unable to contact any unimpeachable sources i is being observed only by the Syracuse-Wa-wasee Journal. Because of the press of other news. Bill Spurgeon’s “Northeast Corner” and Ardis Larson’s “Sara Cuse Says” are omitted from this issue. This column you are now reading is aso being omitted. The. editor is too busy doing research on his proposal for a 36-hour day, 11-day week, to spend time writing any dam column. This proposition is sweeping the country like wildfire —may even become more popular than moonlight-wasting time. We’ll all be back in our usual corners next week. Salvation Army Starts Annual Drives for Funds The “Annual Home Service Appeal throughout Kosciusko County, for funds for the support of the work of The Salvation Army, will be held this year from November 10th to 24th, according to an announcement by Mr. Gus Tatter, General Chairman.

Wednesday PM Club < Gets Ready For Sale In commenting on the Wednesday Afternoon Club's Rummage Sale this week. Mrs. Lewis Immel, president, stated that the keynote for the cliib's current drive for clothing contributions might well be Longfellow’s maxim: “Give what you have. To some one it may be better than you dare to think.’’ As announced last week, clothing is being solicited for the club’s annual Rummage Sale, scheduled for Saturday. 13 November, at the Grade School. Proceeds from this “fall perennial” enable the Wednesday Club to provide their “Christmas Gift” for the children of Turkey Creek Township each year. Mrs. Immel also commented that although no definite decision has been made as to the exact nature of this holiday season’s “gift,” it is thought that it will probably be in the form of a contribution to a community project beneficial to the youngsters, rather than entertainment or candy. Arrangements have been made to give any surplus clothing from the sale to the Kosciusko County Department of Public Welfare.

VOLUME 48 — NUMBER 5

Legislative Issues Discussed At South Bend Legislative issues confronting the Indiana' 1955 General As sembly were reviewed here Tuesday night at a Pre-Legistative Clintic sponsored by the South Bend Association of Commerce and other chambers of commerce in the north central Indiana area, in' cooperation with the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. The Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of Commerce was one of the cosponsors of the clinic. Opening tonight’s session, one of a series of district meetings being held under chamber of commerce auspices in all parts of the state to aquaint citizens with legislative problems. Gordon Kingma, State Chamber highway analyst, said growing demands upon Indiana Highways were increasing pressured for additional expenditures in this field. The State Highway Commission, he said, is asking appropriations which would be some sl3 million annually above anticipated income from present sources. The speaker added that sl3 million represents the revenue from about 1 cent of gasoline tax in Indiana. In addition, he pointed out. counties, cities and towns are requesting larger shares of statecollected highway funds for their own use. Complicating the school problems facing the 1955 Assembly, according to W. W. Hill, education researcher for the State Chamber, is the fact that an average of 31.000 pupils is erpected to be added annually to Indiana school enrollments for the next several years. Demands for still more state aid to local schools unquestionably will be made upon the Legislature, Hill said. Wilfred Bradshaw, director of the State Chamber personnel and labor relations department, said additional pressure will be put upon the Legislature to -enact a state labor relations law (to supplement the federal Taft-Hartley act) because of recent National Labor Relations Board action denying its jurisdiction in many instances where employers are involved only slightly in interstate commerce. The Legisature may also be asked, he said, to consider a “right-to-work” bill that would prohibit the denial of employment to any person because of membership or non-membership in a labor union.

Legislators convening in January. accord my to John V. Barnett, state taxation director of the State Chamber, will be faced with probobly the largest budget requests on record, with the state's surplus of some $80,000,000 acting as a cushion to absorb some of the non-recurring expenditures, ceived from state institutions alBuilding construction requests reready total more than $71,000,006 for the next two years, he said, as compared to actual appropriations of only $27.8 million Jor the current two-year period. Nevertheless, he voiced the opinion that the Legislature could avoid new taxes at the coming session. Howard Friend, State Chamber research director, pointed out that the 1955 Legislature virtually will be required to extend coverage under the Indiana unemployment compensation law to include employees in firms employing four to seven persons. The present law applies only to employers of eight or more persons. Under a federal unemployment compensation tax after 1955. and will have to pay the tax regardless of whether the state chooses to change its coverage to the same basis, he said. Jack E. Reich, executive vice president of the State Chamber, in closing the meeting, urged citizens iin local communities to become i familiar with legislative issues land talk to their legislators about them. It is the "folks back home ”. | he said, whose advice and counsel I legislators most value. Howard D. Rerick, president of the South Bend Association of Commerce, presided at the clinic here.

One Up, One Down For Local Casaba Toters By Billy Dorsey Syracuse High School’s basketball team won one and lost one last week. Tuesday night, November 2. Syracuse was defeated by Milford 57—40; but Friday evening, November 5, Coach Hughes’ Yellow Jackets romped to a 53—43 decision over North Webster. Milford did not beat our local team without putting on their full strength because Syracuse was right in there fighting every minute of the game. Milford outscored Syracuse only one point in the last three quarters. The disastrous first quarter did the damage. Milford, picked to be the “team to beat” along Pierceton, showedj their strength Tuesday evening. Led by Larry Losee and Sonny Hamilton, with 20 and 15 points, respectively, Milford led Syracuse throughout the game, but if it hadn’t been for that first quarter it might have been a different story. Koble led Syracuse with 14 points. The North Webster game was a thriller, as it always is between these two teams. It was a close game until the fourth quarter, when Syracuse started to pour it on and when the game was finished, Syracuse had defeated Webster by a ten point margin. Webster was hurt by, the loss of two of their stars for the last two years; Sam Popenfoose and Doug Bowser. Numerous fouls were called on both teams, Syracuse with 29 fouls and Webster with 22 fouls. Syracuse was led by Red Denton with 21 points while Tom Koble contributed -18 points. ° Nortih Webster wasrled by Eberly with 12 points. Syracuse’s next game will be with Pierceton this Friday.
