THE MAIL-JOURNAL

oajziNAw AROUND xXvV' IV tllly We were told to give a big plug for the New Year’s Eve dance to be held at Hoosier Skateland this year and to tell where tickets are being sold, i Yeah, yeah, yeah! And hear ye, hear ye, and all that jazz. Well, tickets are on sale at both drug stores in Syracuse—Burkholder’s downtown, and Thornburg’s in the Village—and at Tom Socks Sportswear. They’re expecting a real big crowd. We noticed with interest LaVada Dean shuffling up the street with a i large package under her arm. When asked what it was, she produced a new Santa suit for all to see. Now, who could that be for? We requested permission from postmaster Bushong to lake photo of his postal crew hard at work sorting Christmas mail. He said, “Sure, best time to be here is 8:30 to 9a. m.” You guessed it. we were there at 8:45 and so were all employees but no postmaster Bushong. Now, now. When Carroll Koble stood behind some packages, wit Lewis Cobbum, r 3 carrier, §aid, “His wife got a i new washing machine, and he does- : n’t want you to see how much his pants have shrunk!” Fred Elstrod can really take a joke. Inadvertently our typesetter came up with a Ludlow signature line for an ad for Elstrod’s Country Corner Gift Shop. Only thing is the line read Country Coroner Gift Shop. Fred has taken an unmerciful razzing from his friends about being in competition with Chas. Har!ris. He said, good naturedly, “It i proves someone is reading those ads I put in that paper of yours”. ’ We had a nice talk with Chas. Wilcox, of 500 So. Front street, one day last week. We’ve known him for many years. He said his family has taken the Syracuse Journal for many years, | and now he takes the M-J and i reads it from cover to cover. “But only once in my life have I had my name in that paper, and that time I don’t think it was good”. ■ Well, this is the second time, Charlie. Chas, is night electrician at Weatherhead Co. and a darn good one, too. Mary Kimble doesn’t say much about it. but hubbie John lets people know what a fisherman his wife is. 1 and points to an Indianapolis Star trophy she got for catching a one pound, one ounce yellow perch. It measured 13% inches, the trophy read. Our old Lake Wawasee philosopher friend, Martin V. Levernier, tells us he’s catching lots of small bluegills and crappies 10 and 11 inches long on Lake Wawasee, but this is peanuts. He’s leaving for ' Wisconsin to do some “real ice | fishing”. 1 We note with interest that Bobbi Stiver, sharp looking daughter of the Dee Stivers, is back at the i counter at House of Harter during Christmas vacation. She’s a freshi man at Ball State and is former covaledictorian of SHS. She’s our proof ! that beauty and brains can go toI getber. That’s all for now. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL. 1 Editor's Mail Bag j ENJOYING GOOD WEATHER (EDITOR’S NOTE — Along with a check for renewal to the paper Mrs. Floyd Gray writes the following to the editor.) We are enjoying the good weather, fishing and association with our friends here (Lake Wales, Fla.). Floyd caught 44 speckled perch last Saturday and they are delicious t eating. A little of your cold north air is blowing down here today but 60 degrees is better than 20 decrees and I’m pretty sure we will have no snow to shovel. Sincerely, Mrs. Floyd Gray
