Sara Cuse Says ♦. By Ardis Larson. » Remember this part of an old war-time song?, “buddies one, buddies all, left their loved ones to answer the call, from the coast of Maine to' the Rockies, from the Rockies All The Way West” ./. remember? . . . Sunday in Warsaw at the Appreciation Sendee for Korean Veterans, brought the song to mind in observing the scant attendance of the public to pay honor to Korean Veterans, just a handful, so to speak, in addition to the more than a hundred veterans and their families who were invited by tetter, and the public by county wide publicity. Much planning and work had been done by the American Legion and various civic organizations’ representatives at the government's request. Too soon are Veterans apparently forgotten, those who survive wars, and those who go, “All The Way West!” The Indianapolis News, which carried our picture of Jane Bachman, and her clever 'wrong way' rules for basketball audiences. the spring of her Senior graduation from SHS here, has done it again. This time however we get no credit, for Jane was snapped on the Butler College campus, along with 2 other "Spurs", who were selling as their project, chrysanthemums, at the recent Homecoming game. Jane is a Sophomore this year and 'Spurs” is an Honorary Women's Fraternity, which originated on the West Coast, and Indianapolis is the farthest Chapter east. Admission to “Spurs” is offered on the basis of the students grades and campus activities.

Attention: “Old Man of the Lake”, whose poetry in the Journal is much enjoyed... we know you and your very kind wife, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Banning, of Wa-Ana-Harbor, North Shore, Wawasee Lake. ..let's see your patriotic song, you were coaxed by Keith Larson, several years ago, to teach to him... if you haven’t had it published, you should have... Folks, meet the Bannings! kind to every bne... the Syracuse Girl Scouts remember much pleasure they had from over-night-campout on the Banning grassy, shady lake-front grounds, with the added offering ‘in case of rain’, of shelter in one of their lake houses.. also we’ve heard of their good neigh-borly-ness, and other kindnesses... and furthermore we are going to accept that ‘coffee break’ blanket invitation, first chance, as memories of a past coffee still beckon. “Abroad a sparkling escalator to Stardom” says the Indianapolis Star, of Doris Kreamer of Kewanna High, etc., etc., then comes the IMPORTANT part, “and every summer he attends the SmithWalbridge Camp for twirlers, at Syracuse”. Saw Rev. Joe Koble waylay a couple of Girl Scouts Saturday morning, no that’s wrong, they I waylaid him. and right in front of , his own “Dog House”, between ; Rogers’ Station and Wilkerson’s ’ Paint Store, and said him some . candy. , Yessir he was at the “Doghouse”, but not “in” it, just put- . terin’ around, sweeping etc., now , when are you going to open up, so . starving ‘Cusans can get a bite to eat? A “moonlight-wasting time” , comment in a recent Journal edi- . torial, intrigues us...wouldn’t mind taking a poll among teen-agers, well mebbe. adults 5 would have a few ideas on which is better, longer hours per day and days per week , “of day-light saving”, or longer nights of “moonlight-wast-ing”. “Success is a brief interval between a stroke of luck and a stroke of apoplexy” said someone tn a forgotten publication, but it must have been said by a pessimist.

“Its the space between the heart | beats, we can’t erase, poets write short stories in that space”, a saying. saved by F. Elliott. Well, looks like all we know is what people tell us, or what we read in papers, but here is really a good one to check. Recently in Metcalf’s “Portraits”, in part, “My check to God. I wish that I could write a check... for every debt... (of deeds undone).., but God is not a banker as bankers are on earth... He will not honor any check ..' that does not fully pay ... For broken resolutions ... and if I write a check to meet His least command. ~ I pray it will not be returned . . . From lack of love on hand”. After some 6 years habit, of •beating a reporter’s path to the Syracuse-Wawasee Journal office, how are we going to be able to stop 1 door south in the expanded quarters? or will we beat our hands on the old door . . .
