In The Northeast Qorner (By BUI Spurgeon) Incidental intelligence for February—they say that imitation is the most sincere Torm of flattery or something to that effect. We note that a play scheduled to open on Broadway February 3 carries the title “The Southwest Comer.” Just opposite us oh the Compass, we realize, but till, couldn’t we take some kind of credit?? Bcltimore and Ohio Railroad matrons here not in too much of a hurry to catch their respective trains next time should stop and -ke a look at the interior of the local railroad station. Said edifice s sporting a completely, new paint ob as of recent weeks and looks ery attractive. Waiting rooms have a cream and white cola •cheme. Offices have neglected the old red and buff railroar standard colors for a new c-v" bination of light creams and greens. Very trim, we might say. f such a nautical adjective might be applied to a railroad station. These Elkhart Countians really have ideas! And money, too, apparently. We’re commenting now on the new* signs at every rural road comer in that county to the North. These signs are just like city street signs and give the various road names- or numbers. Wonder why something like this in this county would not help the local fire department in its welldirected but presently dormant campaign for a method to locate all rural homes? Best news residents of the North Side of Wawasee (which includes us, incidentally' have had in many years is a result of some action taken recently by county road officials. The Kale Island-Pickwick Park bridge is finally getting some long-needed attention from the county fathers. Some SIO,OOO. we hear has been appropiated to modernize this bridge to a capacity of at least two traffic lanes. Just last fall we can remember a motorist taking to the channel at this bridge, so we are very happy to know our -bridge is at last to be prepared to handle modem traffic. Snow news was not good news for us. though it may have been for those tired of reading this corner. Too much cold and too much snow combined to keep us trapped in the Southern part of Indiana and thus out of the paper for better than a month. Enjoy your vacation?? We hope it won’t be as long until w-e again appear lest we lose out completely! | Shore. Syracuse Lake, and with son Larry, expect to move in this spring. Mr: O. P. Gephart was home for a few days from Florida, Mrs. Gephart remained there for a time. Mr. and Mrs. Gephart are planning a European trip this summer. Mrs. Robert Laird entertained her bowling team.
