By GEORGIA BUSTER The Syracuse police and Firemen's benefit fair is over and a most successful one it was. I have heard many comments on what a nice clean, orderly fair Syracuse had this year. > Mrs. Betty Dust of Syracuse won a refrigerator and her son Danny j won the $75 jackpot at the game stand. Qne would say it was a profitable week for Mrs. Dust and son. Profitable or not I had a busy and ■ enjoyable recent week: The fair, the Methodist bazaar on Friday, and a l wedding on Saturday night. Rai I Baumgartner and Gloria Slabaugh were married in the Milford Chris-’ tian church on Saturday at 8 p.m. tR was a lovely wedding. So many people from out of town have been in and called at my home. Seems everyone is wanting to spend a few days here before cold weather or visit before school starts which is this week in some towns and cities. Already the young men and women are preparing for college, buying clothes and packing. Os course mothers are busy buying for children from kindergarten through high school to make sure, they have the right attire. A thought came to me the other day and I will pass it on: Have you ever noticed how some people when they move into a town can become a part of the community in a short time. They go to church, take an active part in church and civic affairs while others just moving in or the ones who have lived here do not take any part in the community activities at all. They have lived here for years and do not know about the organizations or the church, the public library, our wonderful police and fire departments or any of the advantages we have in Syracuse. Urey go to another town for entertainment and to shop, yet they are living here and the children go to school Irene. Lake Wawasee’s attorney Seth Ward has passed another milestone. He was 66 years “young.” No matter how dull your day may start out to be, meeting Seth and talking for a few minutes can make you forget your troubles. Notice to mothers of high school graduates: Why not call me and let me hear where and when your' boy or girl is going to college?. I don’t want to miss anyone. And I do hope every 1965 graduate goes on to higlier education. It’s a must now and for the future. How many of you remember a-

bout 50 years ago the Portland Sandusky Cement plant closed down. Ot the 200 men only 22 remained at the plant. Mr. and Mrs. William Pipp on their vacation trip to Florida and Nassua brought back a coconut for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Searfosses’ goat. The goat loves coconut milk, an item not on our local grocery shelves. 1 I attended the state fair for the first time and may be the last. I enjoyed the fair but not the weather. It was cold! I had a wonderful “feed” at the press barbecue and attended the championship rodeo, but it was just too cold to stay through the complete show. Miss Leila Connolly, who was at the world's fair the same week said it was hot and Ay in New York state. In the restaurant you were not 'given a glass of water to drink unless 'you requested it. In memory of the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of Will Rogers who died in an airplane crash while taking off with his > pilot-friend, Wiley Post, at Point Arrow, Alaska. Will Rogers was one of the best columnists who ever wrote, Anyone who has ever read a newspaper will never forget his “All I know is what I read in the newspapers.” He was a real American, part Cherokee Indian, and was not ashamed of it. America needs more men like Will Rogers.. -
