Sara Cuse Says . . | By Ardis Larson. On the recent door to door for the “March of Dimes” fund. Sara heard a “boquet” for the Syracuse Volunteer Fire Department, from Rev. and Mrs. J.C. Bailey. We were reminiscing sadly over the fire at their home about a year ago. .. Mrs. Bailey said, “it could have been much worse,” that the Department “responded quickly,” and altho when she heard the siren, it seemed to be far off, account of being worried, but it was really close at hand, for of a sudden here it was, and they all

Trucks Are The Supply Line ... No Matter Where ¥ou Live!

Trucks provide the only freight transportation which reaches all of Indiana — bringing merchandise and materials to every Hoosier household, farm and business con* cern. In fact, for 1580 Indiana com* munities (830 towns—including 4 county seats—and 750 smaller communities) motor vehicles are the •ole means of transportation — autos and buses for passengers, tracks for freight. These 1580 communiliaSi which also are farmer shopping centers, are not served by any other transportation system! So, yon see, because tracks ean and do go wherever there are roads,

worked hard. She said, “Keith Cripe noticed her china cabinet tipping forward, a little,” (the floor was bad from the f ire), and Cripe “saved It In time as it would have crashed on the floor, with destruction,” of some loved dishes and antiques.” “Teacher Recognition”, we have thought of frequently, on pondering the life of our teachers with some 40 darlings, . . . came to life recently in our Cincinnati Enquirer. "Teacher Recognition Day was started in Cincinnati in 1953-54 school year, to ‘dramatize’ the personal importance of the men and women in the teaching profession to the well being of the community”, and they have it

ample supplies of food, furniture, medical supplies, tools and machinery — necessities and luxuries from everywhere — are available anytime to people in all of Indiana. Those who live in or near small communities are therefore not isolated. They are as well fed. well housed and well clothed as the people of Indiana’s largest metropolitan centers—thanks to trucks! And, in addition to bringing you everything you eat, wear, or use, tracks provide employment for 210,000 Hoosiers and pay a large share of the taxes that go to build and maintain Indiana’s roads and streets.

with suitable recognition. Just Jhink! on what all we expect of teachers, we have John and Jane, but they have many more, to ‘keep’ em in order’n cram 'lamin’ down 'em! 'em,!!! Spring is on the way, (it must be, we saw girls skipping the rope) so summer is bound to come., . . when Arnold Grindle gave his dimes for Folio (in the door to door) he was resting close to the heat, and asked about Eric Larson, in Honolulu, we told him Eric was swimming from various Hawaiian beaches, during our zero weather, so Arnold laughed somewhat ruefully, and intoned, “me for that!” . . . Eric wrote of a visit with a family, there in Hawaii, “I was sitting on a woven lauhala mat witha Samoan family—their name is Faimuinui—isn’t that a dilly?”. He said. The mother sang in Samoan and played a ukelele—Hawaiian hospitality is much more than an alluring tourist attraction —people are very informal and really friendly—the tourist trade has, of course, promoted Hawaiian hospitality for its own sake—but it is merely a foundation for the usual courtesy and kindness, displayed by Hawaii’s people.” . . . Evidently thinking of his Air Force R.0.T.C., Eric said,“The qualities of an officer are drilled, taught and forced into us. . we learn not to command, but to be commander. , .we snap to attention, salute our superiors, and pay strict attention to our Air Force instructor. . . I have been doing some research into the field of politics—a Democratic and a Republican campaign was held Monday and Sunday, and I took notes. . . .Saw in a newspaper (just cant keep out of newspapers' "young people were being groomed for summer theatre work,” nice going, and when they get to college. they could go on like the Wawasee Summer Playhouse players. they are college students, playing past summers at Crow’s Nest, wonder —we hope—if they are coming back this summer. . . , and that reminds us of the Goshen Concert, many young people there enjoying it immensely, a good thing and mebbe we had better be getting more Concert tickets for our young people for next season, should be a part of their curriculum...
