CLASSES VISIT KLINK’S By Julie Connolly The Syracuse sophomore classes of home economics paid a visit to Klink’s Super Market on Tuesday, Dec. 8. Carl Hadley, manager of the meat department, escorted the girls on an educating tour of the store. The girls had been studying the different kinds of meat in class, such as: bed, pork and lamb. This trip was a conclusion of their studies. After I finished talking to some of the girls they said they were very much impressed by the size and magnitude, of the beef. Not at all like the small pictures they had seen and studied in class. Hie girls now more fully understand why meat is so expensive because they saw the tremendous wastes. They learned what part of the beef the normal housewife overlooks which is really quite good and now the girls can benefit from their knowledge and buy it to use in their every-day life. This was really a profitable trip.’ Shop John Snell’s Fashion Apparel in Warsaw for cotton shirtwaist dresses in misses and half sizes.

TOSSED OUT — When the White River Township Fire Department answered an alarm at the farm house of Linus Mehringer, Route 3, Greenwood, they found smoke pouring from the hayloft of a barn. Donning gas masks they entered the loft and with pitchforks pitched the hay to the ground outside the barn. Finally all the hay was out and so was the fire. Said one fireman. •‘That’s the first fire I ever threw out the window.** DEDICATED VOLUNTEERS - Members of the Zionsville volunteer fire department hava voted to forego for two years the meager fees allotted them for each fire run and will turn the money over to the town to be used to purchase a new fire truck. However, The Zionsville 1 Times is urging the community to 1 buy the truck so firemen may be paid as usual.

The publisher, Duane Harrison, explained: “Bartholomew County’s i most talked about newspaper has i no editorial this week. The reason < is not lack of opinion; simply lack of space."

He is Ben Teetor. He pays at the rate of $12.36 a year, instead of the usual $3 rate so that the newspaper will be sent to him via air mail each week. 7— SOMETHING NEW — The editor of The Delphi Citizen says it was a “first” for him when he saw a blonde with a pipe in her mouth driving along Delphi’s Main Street.

THOUGHTS ON FISHING — Theeditor of The Warren Tribune, Bruce A. Laymon, suggests that for many people fishing isn’t the sport and recreation it’s supposed to be. Too many, he says, don’t allow enough time to drive to their favorite fishing spot, they don’t take time for a good breakfast before starting, and they work too hard trying to catch more fish than their companions. “The secret of successful fishing,” says the editor, “is not in catching fish but taking it easy.” COUNTY NOMENCLATURE - LaGrange County, organized 1832, was given the name o French country residence of quis de Lafayette, the French, eral who came to the assist of the United States during u. Revolutionary War. NOT BUGGED — The Delphi Citizen tells of* a housewife who thought her home had been invaded by either bugs, birds or bees. Returning from a shopping trip she heard a whining whistle resounding through the house. Shej searched from cellar to attic but was unable to trace the source of i the sound. Finally a representative of the telephone company arrived and informed her: “Your telephone is off the hook." She replaced it and the noise ended. As there were no children and no pets in the house, she’s still uncertain how the instrument got Off the hook.
