AROUND X Ai? T< A thousand and one stories could be told about the season’s worst snow buzzard last Thursday. Each person, has his own version. - - While many plants worked at i part-production, because help was ' not able to get to work, no one suffered from a power failure. Fact is.

Farmers found themselves in a curious plight. Many could not get to town. Some found themselves in J a quandary with too much milk on hand and had to dump same. While rural mail carriers could ■not get out, Syracuse city carriers made their appointed rounds on Thursday and Friday, but with little mail Gerald Sechrist, city carrier, told us on Friday he was working for this paper, for this is ail he had to deliver. Our thanks, of course. The “strip” from Village Hardware Co Sportsman’s Center was I closed until Friday p. tn. and Wawasee Bbwl was snowed in, but good- , Townsman Joe Hughes had his equipment put plowing out "private drives and driveways. He told friends be just couldn’t keep up. The Chuck Cleveland residence got a flood of calls for aid. Chuck is Kosciusko county highway department engineer. One • person reported a TV antenna falling down, cutting the oil line on his oil tank, with his oil supply running on the ground. Arnold Pfingst told us he was snowed in. but neighbor Short Me Cormick soon showed up with beaucoup equipment to plow them out. Arnold wanted us to see his “big snow pile" at his Syracuse I home.

We had fun with our friends last week for their extra effort in supporting the Jackets. We heard a rebuttal. Fact is, Rev.
