Hospitality Hints ■fy Whether you’re Irish or not, you probably sport a sprig of shamrock or a bit of green on St. Patrick’s Day. £ Although we celebrate the day on March 17, the date Patrick died, he won his fame on Easter 2 Sunday, 432, converting the pagan king Laoghaire by matching the magic of the druids with his own miraculous feats. In our family, we yearly toasted Erin’s patron saint with a St. Patrick’s Day Cocktail. If you’re having guests during the spring holiday season, they’ll probably enjoy this novel refreshment, too. Make it with: 9-4 oz. Old Mr. Boston Cjeme de Menthe (green, of course) 94 oz. Green Chartreuse 94 oz. Irish Whiskey 1 dash bitters Stir well with cracked ice and •train into 3 oz. cocktail glasses. St. Patrick died at the age of 75 after he had converted almost all of Ireland from pagan worship, founded 700 monasteries and churches, and ordained more than 350 bishops and 300’0 priests I Mow your lawn with NO CLUMPS NO CLOGS See the WHIRLWIND 21" POW-R-DRIVE TORCH ■ Spiral, “Wind-Tunnel”t housing means smoother discharge of clippings. ■ Won’t clump or clog-no corners to catch or build up \ grass. ■ Quiet.

Newest Italian Furniture Sculptured and Engineered B HISE '* Il The beautifully molded form of the chair with its sleigh runner base is characteristic of the sculptured and engineered look of the newest Italian furniture designs. The chest, also from Italy, is walnut. Although its lines are simple, the striations of wood grain are exploited to give it a highly decorative effect. Superimposed drawer pulls in a darker finish accent it. Available from Fabry Associates.

Italians have justifiably gained renown in the furniture-making World with their “architectural” furniture, a phrase coined to describe the special qualities—an opulent sculptured look with engineered details—that distinguish country’s contemporary designs. This fact was well documented by a trade mission of 20 Italian industrialists who toured this country recently. The mission was sponsored jointly by the Ministry For Foreign Trade of Italy and the National Institute for Foreign Trade. Although Italian furniture ‘ Styles cater to a vast range «of tastes, emphasis was placed on the contemporary collections. Softer, more rounded lines than are seen in the designs of Other countries contribute to the Sculptured quality. This is true in the over-all form as well as SADDLE CLUB HOLDS 10TH ANNUAL SHOW The Syracuse Saddle club held its 10th annual Horse Show Sunday at their club and show grounds north of Syracuse. A-1 mong the spectators were visitors from Topeka, Kansas, Cape Canaveral, Fla., Palos Park, 111., and Chicago. Winners First place winners and the divisions were as follows: Halter class, Gene Kammerer of Leesburg; Appaloosa halter class, Dave Kruse of Bristol; pony halter (stallion), Stuckman Shoes of Nappanee; pony mare and gelding, Sonja Nattern; masquerade class, Steven Dewild of Middlebury; Obstacle course, Roxie Judy of Goshen; and pleasure class, 15-years and under, Roseane Amsler of Goshen.

in the details. Both wood and upholstered pieces are subtly curved, often almost imperceptively. The Italian flair for ornamentation is an inherent quality evidenced in the variety of materials employed, most of which serve to heighten the elegant aspect of even the simplest pieces. The decorative use of woods—exposed wood grains, inlaid woods and painted surfaces—seen in all the collections, characterize the artistry of their furnishings. An unusual gamut of woods adds to the opulent effect. They are handled exuber« antly, even sensually with an eya to the tactile appeal. It’s difficult to resist the temptation tg run one’s hand over them. Ingenious solutions to the problems of limited living-space and a more thoughtful approach to storage are among the impre&v sions of the collections shown* ical tire, Stan Meyers; bareback equitation, Darrell Close of Warsaw; beg bending, Steven Dewild of Middlebury; barrel race, Junior Holderman of Elkhart; and speed and action, Stan Meyers.. The door prizes were received by Karen Becker of Elkhart, Bud Miller of Benton and Rf .Caddenes of Elkhart.

BEFORE 1915 — This old time Syracuse street scene comes from a postcard submitted to The MailJournal by John Kroh. Roscoe Howard of Syracuse says it dates back to before 1915 as the streets were paved in that year. Looking down Huntington street on the right, what is now known as Bonnie’s Dixie restaurant and Budget Loans was then the LeGranc' hotel. Across the street where the State Bank of Syracuse is now Io cated was at that time a saloon

Editor's Mail Bag i GOOD PROGRAM Dear Editor: I want to take this means of congratulating and thanking the American Legion and all others who helped them in one of the finest Memorial Day programs ever held in Syracuse. The parade, the band and other groups, the services at the cemetery, was everything anyone could ask for and expect. A lot of volunteer work by the Legion has made possible the building of the stage at the cemetery for the services, and they are improving it each year. Someday, , they will have completed the mem- ! orial for which everyone can be proud. The loud speaker system was perfect and all could hear and understand every word. The speaker and all those presenting the program did a wonderful job. To those who couldn’t or didn’t attend, they missed a very sincere and impressive tribute to their departed loved ones. , Let’s give three big cheers and I a lot of thanks to this group who had and part in this fine program, and help them towards a bigger and better one next year, if pos- , sible. L. J. B. NEWPAPER ETHICS To The Editor: Since you published my letter a week ago concerning the changes in figures, dates and names that the county seat “newspaper” makes in stories about the town of Syracuse, I have had literally dozens of favorable comments — a few thought it funny. In last week’s Saturday Evening Post, the following appeared on this subject:

“Journalism, to a considerable extent, is a matter of trust: trust between employer and employee, trust between the reporter and his source, trust between the publication and the reader. The journalist who abuses the confidence of his source or misuses his information for private gain betrays one of the elementary principles of his profession.’’ My only thought is that I know a newspaper man who lies about one subject will lie about anything else that suits his fancy — and our country does not need this type. It is a disgrace to the county—and to the profession. The Goshen paper, the South Bend paper, your own paper, the Elkhart paper, Indianapolis papers, Fort Wayne pa-

Jumping over to the third of the four corners in what is now the. Anchor Bar, was then the first store built uptown. It was known as Wilden's General Store. Across the street from it in the Pickwick building that houses the • hQ. . burg Drugs, was Strieby's Grocery on the bottom floor. On the second floor in the front part facing Main street was the Knights of Pythias Lodge. In the back part of the upper floor was the opera house. Mr. Howard also added that

pers all seem to have no difficulty in getting stories straight. But week after week for years now our county seat paper will come up with wrong information, figures, names, dates. They refuse to correct any mistakes, too. Perhaps this explains why one out-of-coun-ty daily now has more subscribers in this county than does the “newspaper” from Warsaw. J. Barton Cox. NEED RECREATION CENTER Dear Editor: A few weeks ago in the May 23 edition of The Mail-Journal there was a paragraph in Audrey’s Abouts which has been on my mind ever since. It read: “Where will our teenagers “hang out’,’ this summer ? Some will be working, a few younger teenagers will participate in the water safety program, some . have the maturity to stay home, and many will attend a summer school in the mornings. If you have any wise suggestions as to what they can do, send them to Audrey’s Abouts, % The Mail-Journal, Syracuse, and I will re-edit some of them and put them in a future column.” None of these things are going to keep a teenager busy all of the time and what is there to do at night ? Sure, go to the movie, play miniature golf, go bowling, but these things cost money and some of us are trying to save for college. What Syracuse needs is a recreation center. A couple 'of years ago the class of ’62 tried to get onfe started. As I recall they had money and the backing of the Syracuse police force. When they tried to rent a building the owner refused to rent it for that purpose. Yet that building is now a store. 'Adults say, “What’s wrong with the kids of today?” The answer is, “We don’t have enough to do so if anyone besides Audrey LeCount is interested in us please help us! \ Sincerely, A Teenager

THE MAIL-JOURNAL

where the Church of the Brethren is now located was once the first store ever built in Syracuse. Mr. Howard commented that this postcard picture must have been taken on an eventful day as flags can be seen in front of Strieby’s store and the bandstand is set up in the middle of the street. The man in the white shirt and tie standing behind the LeGrand hotel has been identified by Mr. Howard’s sharp eyes and memory as Henry Sloan.

REMEMBER . ... WHEN IT HAPPENED IN SYRACUSE One Year Ago The 3rd annual police and firemen’s benefit fair began Monday evening. May 21, and ended around 11 on Saturday night, May 26. The Syracuse Business and Professional Women’s chib began with a group of. consciencious business women who niet weekly for lunch and shared in the ideal that the happiness, comfort and all qualities that create a joy in living, in any community, center in the cultivation of a friendh/ and neighborly spirit. The 25tly / observance of the original* formpfion of the organization was hela at the Scout Cabin in Crosson Mill Park Friday evening, May 25. , Five Years Ago At a meeting Tuesday night of representatives from the local organizations sponsoring the water safety program for Syracuse and Wawasee Lake, to get under way in June, members of the Syracuse Park Board endorses the plan and preparations for making the beach at the City Park adequate for the educational program. Ten Years Ago The trustee of Turkey Creek township and the advisory board has given the “go ahead” sign by the state on the proposed new Syracuse grade building, gym and cafeteria and the site of the building near the present high school is also approved. Fifteen Years Ago Wawasee Post No. 223 has purchased a large 3-inch cannon from Army surplus stocks at Toledo, 0., and placed it in Crosson Park on South Huntington street. It will be properly mounted on a concrete base and an appropriate marker placed att he site. Rev. C. M. Fawns was re-assign-ed as pastor of the Methodist church here by the annual North Methodist conference held at Kokomo. . -. . Twenty Years Ago Rains flood county low lands. Constant rains stop all work on farms. With Kosciusko county and all Indiana streams, at flood stag*, lakes out of their banks, highway bridges endangered and water covering farm lands, rain continued to fall Wednesday. No relief is in sight. Two Syracuse soldiers were at Fort Riley, Kan., when the tornado hit there last Saturday. There were about 200 injured and much property damage. Capt. Fred Clark and Pvt. George Mitchell both have reported they were not injured. Pvt. George Harvey has a birthday today, May 21. He is out on maneuvers at present and his address is .not known so he will receive birthday cards later on. T. Sgtjkeith Cripe of Eglin Field, Fla.V and Mrs. Cripe were here recently on a visit. Sgt. Cripe is, we believe, the first Syracuse boy to enlist in the army in tno present war. He will soon complete a three-year enlistment. He has been stationed at Eglin Field all that period. Forty-Five Years Ago The Lutheran church was comfortably filled last Sunday for the memorial service. Only fifteen veterans were present to accept the homage of the people. Arnold G. Beckman, who has been teaching music at Sterling, 111., came home a week ago accompanied by Mr. Conboy who owns a music store at Sterling. Mr. Beckman is in the next draft and is expecting his call this week.
