appeared garbed in a very bright shade of«red. which would be more appropriate for the torch on top or as the Warsaw TimesUnion suggests, more commonplace things such as fire hydrants. The architecture of the county building is admirable, and so is the campaign of the commissioners to clean the place up, which should add to beauty hidden years of smoke and grime. Any painting which is done, then, should not only match the resfcdFthe building but should aa«7/to that beauty and dignity. Qorispicuousness is not needed.

Trustee Calvin Beck of Turkey Creek Township tells us he hopes to have Mr. L. V. Phillips.. Indiana High School Athletic Association commissioner, on hand here sometime this fall to dedicate the new gymnasium at the Syracuse school. This would seeem to us to be an excellent idea.. Although we have not seen inside it since early spring 'and we have a standing invitation from Mr. Beck to take a look some day' we understand that the local goalery is one of the finest in the state and certainly the best in

the county. We hope that a visit here will impress Elvee Phillips so favorably that we might get a Sectional Tourney come next February. Doht you think we deserve it? Well, the remains of the old shelterhouse at Main Street and Syracuse Lake have been carted away. We understand that a farm resident in the area offered to do the job for the lumber involved. which seems reasonable enough. But now we are without a shelterhouse at all. We always thought the one we had was rather picturesque looking, even though it had begun to sag a bit and needed a paint job as of this year. We have been asked, at times, if people ever mistook it for a bridge and tried to drive through it into the lake. Not in our memory—if they had. it probably would have collapsed then and there, to the fright and consternation of all concerned. Town officials tell us that they intend to replace it with a more modern looking structure with a flat roof and sturdier supports, mainly to prevent it from blowing over again. We can agree readily enough with the Sturdy supports but have some qualms about the flat roof. We think any shelter built should be an object of beauty as well as utility and think most local residents will agree. If they do. they should so advise the Town Board of their wishes before it is too late. Interested in what happened 25 years ago? A good many people are. it seems, and we have been asked a great number of times to include such a column in the Journal. Effective this week, a column of news notes from the Journal files of 25 years aSrowill appear regularly in the jasper. From the number of requests we have had to reinstate such a column, we are sure it will be popular. Speakihg of things that happened some time ago. do people still keep diaries? We know of one neighbor of ours who has kept a daily record of things in passing since he was 18. and we greatly admire his perserverance in doing this. Keeping a diary is something that must be tended to each day. if it is going to amount to anything, and we imagine that, plus the relative “fast” pace of activities these days, discourages a large number of people from doing it. Sara Case Says... By Ardis Larson Quote on Syracuse from a book written over 35 years ago. . “not a more beautiful view is to be met w|th. anywhere than when one has passed beneath the railway bridge and is coming into the lake (Syracuse' as he faces town, directly west . . Let !it be evening and sunset time, when the lake is like Poe’s dank tarn of Aubur that lay in unruffled lustre, then there will be 2 towns 1 upsidedown beneath the other, with their hills, tree tops and spires brought boldly into relief by the purple and orange masses of light surrounding the golden red sun.” . . “Another scene that will- delight the heart of any nature enthusiast at the quiet eventime of day . . . this view is along the bank of the race, a part of Turkey Creek, the outlet of Lake Wawasee V. stand upon the Huntington St. bridge and gaze downstream, then you wills be facing the sun as it turns to/gold and slowly disappears.” Who remembers the “Sods; Stony Point: Picnic Hollow McFaUs Woods; China; Conkling Hill; Black Stump Point; (we remember however. Claude Mason knows the. latter', and do many know how Kale Island came to be named thus? . . “It seems in the early days a bachelor Ertgiishman Caleb Oram assumed ownership over the island. no one seeming to have previous claim . . . and here he built a sort of cabin shack, where he could sleep and eat when he was not fishing, hunting or trapping . . . his place was popular with the early fishermen who usually traveled miles to reach their fish . . . Oram was known generally as “Old Cale’, and the island on which he lived came to be spoken of as “Cale’s Island” ... in process of time the possessive form was dropped and the letter K was substituted for the C in written accounts of the lake . . . the island was named so long ago that only the oldest inhabitants about Syracuse are abie to explain the manner m which it received its name.” The Kale Island Association's private beach facilities has troubles. Sara has observed . but there seems to be no remedy unless every one walks to the beach, and some further away and with children ... if several park a car. they are apt io be on private property, which quite likely bothers each side of the “question.” Speaking of beach space . . . there just isn't any all around Wawasee. except the Famous Clingamen swim beach, at Buttermilk Point, near the State Fish Hatchery, and the Waco Rollar Rink Pavillion space, which Mr. Tyler says the public would be welcome to use . . . since Flickinger Beach on Waveland Beach location . changed hands, that beach is now private ... but we must admit that the former picnic and parking area across the react now surrrounded by handsome trailer homes and

Shouldn't there be a public beach at all? .. . look at it neighborly . . • but it would be very remunerative to the community, for the 100’s and 100's who have been observed by more than Sara looking for a beach to launch a boat ... or to swim — or picnic? it e could easily take a trip like Mrs Beulah Bushong and Miss Eunice Smith thru Europe, must have been a honey, and Mrs. Bushong assures us that all the wonderful trip they had. could be done well on a thousand. aF tho they, and especially Mrs. Bushong did bjiy a few gifts . and guess where we the ladles Monday after then- return on Sunday .. none other than at a beauty shop getting their hair shampooed . . guess little old Syracuse can do that stuff better than all of Europe.
