Sara-Cuse 'Says' By Ardis Larson “THE OPEN DOOR,” by Faith Baldwin, in the March Women’s Day, we quote in part, “Sometimes I fancy life as a corridor, long and wide, each door opening upon > something important, and we < must find the keyes.” There is a door called “Love.” It is not a one-way door, you have to have two keys really, and the : key of spiritual understanding un- I locks the ultimate door. * So now, it is March, the key to ; spring, whether snow or rain, ; wind or calm sunshine, or the blowing darkness, it is the beginning of spring, and the threshold of April.” BURKHOLDER DRUG, Monday morning, over coffee we asked about the nice scent we noted . . . , Bob said it was Bayberry room freshener, he had from Elstrod’s Country Comer, in the Village. ’ MRS. FRED SLOAN on our street, real helpful, to come see us, and renew her Mail-Journal subscription. LILLIAN HAMMAN here, is one J of the people every one loves, including Mrs. Gordon Simmons, whom we happened onto at a Go- ' shen sorority rummage shop recently. Mrs. Simmons, Goshen-ite, was visiting there with the clerk for the day, Mrs. Calvin Stoner, so we three had coffee and conversation. We found that Mrs. Simmons had driven in by horse and buggy. She, when found we were from Syracuse, said she was taught in high school here, by Miss Hamman . . . loves her forever ... and don’t we all ! ! ! HARRY REUSCHEL at Goshen cafeteria, good to see, formerly of Syracuse'. 1 . and while we are talking about people, Dick Gardner has a real cute dimple . . . M take a look! NURSE ‘GINNIE’ KRAMER, we’ve always admired . . . and we loved the pleasure in young Tom Martin’s eyes, when she stopped at his booth in Thornburg’s to say hello . . . incidentally, there were only five or so in that booth. GINNIE, that Mrs. Ronald Kramer, of our observance through the years, is a perennial young person forever . . . We’ve known here for many years, and demit! she never gets any older. DR. WENDEL SHANK’S office, we thought how very nice, when we stopped in to have our glasses checked. It was the first time we had been in the Huntington building, and we gave W. T. Jones, the owner, a mental pat on the back for such a fine addition to Syracuse. The Huntington ranks in our mind, as a possible pace-setter here. Dr. Shank’s office we deem delightful With its light blue walls, walnut chairs, soft upholstry, and the picturesque square white table holding a potted plant, a handsome ash tray, and “The Echo,” which most any caller would enjoy. We have read The Echo, but do it again, whenever near one, as it is so nice to ruminate over our up-coming students. NANCY PLANK at Burkholder’s Drug, must have a sixth sense when back turned, even if working, “kitchen chores,” . . . and a customer comes in quietly, she turns at once to give service. CLYDE WEAVER claims he “was took” on a juke box deal . . . now how can one be “took,” thus . . . did he mean that someone dodged the coin deal in the box, leaving him to feed it ? FLETCHER MARSH, local art-ist-teacher, we enjoyed a recent visit at his home studio. We were privileged to view a few paintings done by him, and we feel that he is a true artist. AT GOSHEN recently on busi-. ness, we had some time to kill, while waiting for Mr. L. At the Olympia . . .a tops in soda and counter service, we had the first seat from the door, and . enjoyed much coffee, and the people, who were all friendly. AT WARSAW Monday, 26th, ugh! you know, taxes, but every one not too busy, and we all had time to be friendly . . . was not crowded. On way home with our son Keith and wife and their son Brian, whom we drool over, we stopped for lunch at the Milford Case, and was it ever good, we’ll be on the prowl again for some more of that delicious pie . . . apple, our favorite ... by the way, we saw several Syracusans eating there. Mrs. John Perry Entertains Bridge Chib Mrs. John Perry entertained the members of her mother’s bridge club at her home northwest of Milford on the evening Feb. 20. Tables were attractively set with red and white napkins, tallies and red table covers, and lighted with tall white candles. The hostess served a frozen dessert carrying out the same color scheme and

Federal Budget Costs Kosciusko County Taxpayers $18,224,260

The cost to Hoosiers of the $92, 537,000,000 Federal budget now being considered by Congress has been computed by the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce at more than $2,119,000,000. Indiana’s share, as outlined in the accompanying chart, consists of $1,206,600,000 for national defense and $912,500,000 for all other purposes. Taxpayers of Kosciusko county, the chamber estimated, would bear about $18,224,260, or .86 per cent of the state’s total obligation. The largest rise in total Federal expenditures in the past 10 years, the chamber said, has occurred in items other than national defense. Proposed Federal expenditures outside the national defense category next year, it was explained, would represent an increase of 78.8 per cent over actual expenditures for the 1952 fiscal year, while by comparison, national defense expenditures would be only 19.8 per cent above the 1952 figure.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin

Again we submit some of the fourth grade letters received some time ago, which offset many of the unappreciative attitudes of the public towards the librarian. Dear Mrs. Kerlin: I am so happy that we have a very nice library. The book I enjoyed was “Black Beauty.” I love all horse stories. They are always good. I enjoy to have you work at the public library. I will always come to the library and get a book or read one there. Sincerely yours, Roxie Vanlaningham Dear Mrs. Kerlin: I like the library, for it helps me in my reading. I like funny stories to read, and I like fairy tales, too. I think it is nice of you to let me come in and get books. I hope I do not make too much noise .when I come in. Sincerely yours, Donal Rumfelt Dear Mrs. Kerlin: I really appreciate having a library close to my home. Every time I have extra time I read a library book. If I don’t have one I go and get one. I don’t know anybody who is as kind as you. Your friend, Debra Wolferman Dear Mrs. Kerlin: I enjoy the library very much. I like all of the new books, and old ones too. I hope you are the library lady all of the time. You are a very nice and good library lady. I don’t know if Emyone else thinks so, but I do. I think that the library books help me on reading in school. Lovingly yours, Doris Anne Lower Warsaw Monument Works, Warsaw When grief enters your home, don’t be rushed into the purchase of a monument during emotional strain . . . because such purchases seldom prove satisfactory. Wait liam T. Jones. I Mrs. Faye Wong and Corky returned Sunday from Seattle where they visited Faye’s family.

wvmwwwwwwwwwvwwwvwwwwwwmvmwm J Purdue Students Get Distinguished Ratings For Work

LAFAYETTE — Eight hundred and seventy-one students at Purdue university attained the distinguished rating in their work in the first semester of the 1961-62 academic year, according to the list Einnounced by the office of the registrar. This total includes 235 freshmen, 223 sophomores, 185 juniors Emd 228 seniors. Os the 871 achieving the honor, 129 scored the highest possible scholastic index of “6.” To achieve this top index, the student has to make the highest grade given under the grading system in each subject carried in the semester. To achieve the distinguished rating, the student must make a scholastic index of “5.5” or higher out of the possible “6” in all work carried in the semester, must have earned 14 or more hours of academic credit within the period and have completed all work carried and must be enrolled on a regular undergraduate curriculum. Students from Kosciusko county among those attaining the honor with an index of "5.5” or higher but less than “6” are Sandra Wentzel, r 1 Mentone, junior in the School of Science. Education and Humanities; Larry G. Cole, Pierceon, sophomore in chemical enineering; and Stephanie Sue Stein, 738 N. Lake St., sophomore in the School of Science, Education and Humanities, and Carol Suzanne Stone, 540 S. Harding Ave., junior in pharmacy, both of Warsaw. Also in this group, but listed in Elkhart county, is Philip J. Paugh, r 2 Syracuse, junior in pharmacy. ... and give the matter careful thought. When you are ready, visit the display of the Warsaw Monuments Works at the south edge of Warsaw on road 15, and make your selection unhurriedly and to fit your personal preferences. The Warsaw Monument Works does not employ agents or so-called company representatives because they feel that when sorrow enters a home, kindly sympathy can best be shown by refraining from sales solicitation until those left behind feel the proper time has arrived. This policy also saves you money . . . because by dealing direct with Gus Tatter . . . the proprietor . . . you save the selling commission which frequently runs as high as 40 per cent. Don’t be fooled by agents’ claims that prices all over are about the same. Make your monument selection from the large extensive display by the Warsaw Monument Works, located at the south edge of Warsaw on road 15. Dora’s Beauty Shop, Leesburg The most modern methods and equipment make Dora’s Beauty Shop in Leesburg the home of quality work in every line or beauty culture. This shop has gained favor with women in this area because of the distinctiveness and individuality of her service. If you wish to improve your personal appearance, look your best for business engagements and social life, csdl Dora’s Beauty shop. Her excellent work deserves your patronage.

Syracuse Plan Commission Meets Monday The Syracuse Plan Commission met Monday night at the Syracuse town hall, to hear a petition of Lorraine Smith for a change in classification of her property near the Catholic seminary from residential to commercial. After hearing the parties concerned and from some opposition the Plan Commission on suggestion of Attorney Phil Harris, who represented Mrs. Smith, the commission continued indefinitely the petition. Mrs. Smith desires to sell her property which would then be converted into an electrical repair store. It weis indicated that some compromise between the owners and surrounding property owners would be attempted and perhaps a varience might be asked for which would limit the use of the property more than would a change in zoning from residential to commercial. The meeting was in charge of Paul Levernier, president, and there were eight members presnt. 1
