Syracuse Town Board Discuss Dog Running Loose, Iron In Water, Insurance

At the regular meeting of the Syracuse town board Tuesday night the question of dogs running loose, insurance on public buildings and iron rust in the water mains were topics of discussion. Leonard Nichols complained to the board of the presence of iron rust in the water. Board member Harry Coy explained that the town has contracted with an engineering firm which has set up a system of flushings and the insertion of certain chemicals in the water mains which tend to hold in suspension the iron found in the well water. During the past extreme winter conditions prevented flushings of the mains on the scheduled date,

but the next date for flushing has been set at April 19. The 40 to 50 years some of the Syracuse water mains have been carrying water, plus the fact that some residential properties also have water pipes in the houses many years old, fend to make a difficult problem in cleaning out the cumulated rust, Mr. Coy stated. A building with old water pipes (iron) will certainly have rust in the water at times, he continued. Dogs Running Loose Clerk-treasurer L B. Cox informed the board that he had been receiving many complaints of dogs running loose and damaging property in the town of Syracuse. He quoted a state law that makes a cifizen who allows his dog to run loose liable to a fine of $25. Syracuse police were ordered to do everything in their power to aid in picking up stray dogs. The town has a dog pound where such dogs may be kept for a period of three days after which they are destroyed. Citizens may aid police, Mr. Cox said, in penning up straydogs. , _ .

The New Look In

■— ——, I* The office Gibson girl of earlier days had long skirts, stiff shirts, and antiquated machinery to weary her pretty head. Miss Business 1962, on the other hand, looks trim and composed because the mere turn of the switch of a modern business machine makes a snap of such things as shaip copies of paperwork. How th’is is done is one of the demonstrations to be seen at the "Progress for People” Exposition at Chicago’s McCormick Place, April 9 through 13. ’ Chicago, Illinois—New machines that demonstrate the helpful magic of the mechanical age in business will give an exciting performance of their versatility in Chicago’s McCormick Place, April 9 through 13, during the “Progress for People’'’ exhibit. These mechanical office aids, created by more than 70 leading manufacturers of business machines, willJbe a fitting tribute tc industry’s efforts to help the nation’s business save time, money, and human energy. Each and all of them are designed to assist the office worker toward facility, convenience, and increased efficiency. The “Progress for People” exhibit, sponsored by the Business Equipment Manufacturers’ Association, will provide viewers with an intriguing opportunity to see the dramatic new "tools” and how they work. • Under glamorous and streamlined exteriors, the office machinery of tomorrow awaits its chance to help carry part of .theburden of details and lighten the work load. In almost any phase of business or industry there is a machine available to offer needed assistance in the course of the daily routine. The five-day exposition, making its first appearance in Chicago, will be open from 12 noon to 10 p.m. each day, and is expected to draw an attendance of approximately 40,000 persons from a 200 mile radius of Chicago.

SLIPPED A COG—Two ingem bus students at Monon High Schoo in advance of the state basketbal tournament contrived a computer like machine to forecast the win ner of the sectional to be playec in Monon. The students, Johr Koekenburg and Jim Franz, built the machine in the shop room at the school. On a panel were the names of the 10 teams to play in the sectional. Monon was one ol the 10. Taped to the panel was the lid of a tin can and the lid was labeled “The Magic Circle.” Those who wished to learn the machine’s forecast were invited to touch “the magic circle.” A touch of the circle caused the names of the 10 teams to light up and then wink out in hit or miss fashion similar to the lights of a pin ball machine. The last name to remain lighted 'was supposed to be the winner. Somehow or other it was always Monon. But along the way the machine slipped up. Monon went ;to the final game before losing to ■ Brookston. The Monon News credited the inventors with a “good try.” DREAMT ABOUT IT—A Dearborn County man, Bob Kennedy, 'of Ludlow Hill, started his car’s engine and then went into his house while it warmed up. When he returned, he found the car had run down a hill and through his front fence. Kennedy told The Lawrenceburg Register an odd thing about the incident was that the night before he had deamed of putting up a new fence. PEPPER PEPPED UP — When a Zionsville bachelor, Clyde (Happy) Harmon, died, his little black dog. Pepper, his constant companion for many years, faced a dismal future. For several days Pepper roamed the Boone County town, ’ disconsolate and growling at those who tried to befriend him. Then, [The Zionsville Times reports, Mrs. ■Dan Cruse, who has away with animals, set out food for the dog and finally persuaded him to take shelter in her basement. Mrs. Cruse says the dog will have plenty of company in her household where the will join another dog, Blackie; two parakeets, three goldfish and ■a rooster.
