The announcement in The AI-J last Wednesday that Lakeland school board member Glenn Brown of Milford would soon terider his resignation to move with his company, Penn Controls, Inc., of Goshen, to Wheaton, Hl., caused a flurry of speculation as to who his successor might jbe; < ■ Several meetings among interested individuals were held during ‘ I the remainder of the week, and speculation rose. Actually, Brown won’t leave unt.il August, but-his resignation from the : board might come before that time. < At any rate, the present board is giving due consideration .to a pos-i ;sible replacement. Plain township member Ralph Brubaker will have a vote on the I new member. ’ He will of necessity be a man sympathetic with the give-away of Plain (township to the Warsaw school sys-■ Item and be a man who doesn't pose (too many questions. - J Four names under consideration are Forrest Ramser, Dr. Gerald Snider, Leon Tucker; and Charles Purdum. ••••• I I The site that’s taking on a new* : look is the area along Syracuse road, north of Syracuse. It’s the road that i-uns between the new Syracuse Alethodist church and the church’s ■ parsonage, The Syracuse Rotary club has leased a three-acre tract from the church, located just south of the . church, for a Little League ball park. Work has already begun to clear the undergrowth from the low area. 5 . And just across the road is the ■ new Potawatomi Heights Extended housing uiiihii'Hi. 'which promises to bring up to 72 new medium-priced homes to Syracuse. Watch this area in the months ahead. Doing a bang-up job with their j highly advertised week end smorgasbord is the Yellow Banks Hotel. Last Saturday evening they served 572 dinners, according to owner Johnnie Bowden. Townspeople are -still praising Si Hire for his work with the Junior Drum and Bugle Corps, which made a splendid showing Alemorial Day. |

When reminded of this this week, Si observed it reminded him of a remark he heard the great bandsman John Philip Sousa make just after World War I; “If you teach a boy to blow a horn, he’ll never blow a safe.’’ More attention should be focused on the Syracuse high school baseball team, we’re told. The ’Jackets are undefeated so far. and recently won a 4-way tourney at Concord. A Syracuse businessman has contemplated buying a home on Tippecanoe Lake to make his home there. He’s- recently been eyeing properties on our lakes where he could be persuaded to buy if the right opportunity comes along. When Ideal Beach resident Jack Vanderford asked neighbor Orvil Klink why he was so slow coming a- ; round the house last Thursday even■ing when the car ran into the Robert ,E. Harris garage and struck Klink’s 1961 Cadillac, he replied: “I heard the noise of the crash and. was afraid to see what happened’” The GOP “young Turks" of Turkey Creek township are reportedly getting restless with the leadership's policy of no meetings, no plan. They are contemplating “side meetings” of their own to question the leadership. More publicity should have been given the Syracuse-Wawasee Junior Color Guard that took honors at the Mermaid Festival parade. The snappy unit, commanded by diminutive Randy Weaver, caught the eye of Judges and audience alike at the parade. They plan to march in the American Legion parade at Indianapolis. coming, up. This year's fireworks were e- [ specially spectacular, and, like previous years, the “armada” of boats coming to city park via Syracuse lake is something to behold. But another sight is to stand along ' Oakwood Park of Kale Island and [see the boats stream out of the chan- ' nel into Lake Wawasee. ’ It looks , like a never-ending line of lights. The James Stuckys had a perfect view of the fireworks from their ■ front porch. And others along > North Shore Drive could sit on their piers or in their yards for a perfect view. An unusually pretty sight whs oh i Tippecanoe Lake- during the , public (fireworks display Monday nigat Got■tage owners filled paper cu:>s with wax and.mtide colored candied which they set afire and set a flbat oh the water.
