AROUND

I In recent years growth around the Syracuse area has been to the south and southwest for the most part, and there are indications this growth will be stepped up. The new Lakeland high school, apparently destined to be built on the Seartoss property southwest <rf Syracuse, will be part of the impetus to this growth. However, it was well under way long before anyone had an inkling the new school would be built in that area. ; Carroll Koble, clerk in the post office, is building farther south, and so is school custodian and bus driver Carl Hadley. Hadley’s new home, now being framed in. is located west of the bowling alley on Bowser road. Koble’s new home is on road SWE. The new industrial park and the housing development of Larim and Howard on the old Syracuse-Web-ster road are all indications to support our belief that considerable growth will be to the southwest of Syracuse. Attempts to develop housing additions north of town have suffered for want of real enthusiasm and support, although we expect the new trailer factory north of town may tend to make that area more of an industrial area. These are trends, a la Kiplinger, and we think you'll find them quite reliable. There is considerable rumble among businessmen, in Syracuse that no effort was made to get the Regen t Homes Corporation of Middlebury to locate in Kosciiiskd county instead of Elkhart county. There is every reason to believe this company, headed by Syracusan Gaylord Jones, would have come into the county if any effort had been made to woo them here. They will soon have a small industrial complex building alongside them at their new location, just north of Syracuse—and just out of Kosciusko county. •* ♦ "

Syracuse chamber of commerce is lingering too long on putting up decorations again this year. This seems to be the opinion of most everyone anyone talks to. Several have suggested the town employ a firm to put up decorations and take down each year. Many towns have come to this, and it takes all the “sweat” out of the job, gets them up on time, and down on time, with a change in decorations each year. Fire thief Bill Hess plugged for a Santa Claus in the community this I year, but got no support, he states. Other communities do this, and so should we. , - Speaking of decorations, easily the best to be seen in this area are those at Columbia City. Don’t miss I them. ! Firemen Joe Hughes and Pee Wee Niles were the only Syracuse repre1 sentatives at the Leesburg appreciation dinner at Westminster Hotel ! last Thursday night. Chief Bill Hess iwas absent, because he was sidelinied with a broken right foot for the jpast nine weeks. But Joe and Pee Wee represented the group well. !*♦ • ■ . Syracuse police and those engineering the Christmas party at the ■ Pickwick theater Saturday, Dec. 18, say they expert 900 kiddies. Rev. James McKibben, Church of I God pastor, is helping Pete and Juanita Luttman in the Gamble Store daring the Christmas rush. Looks funny to drive up and see Foo and Faye’s closed. But they de-. serve the rest, Grace Harvey, the lady with the great big St. Bernard dogs, is | seen limping around town, but we don’t know why.

Town and school board attorney Bob Reed is busy as can be, is pressing for larger quarters. For a ■ youngster*’ in the Law business, he has certainly caught on here. Look for him to move to larger quarters in the reasonably near future. lakeland school board president Jim Stucky is seen delivering a load of furniture on Saturday. Bruce Johnston, manager of Burgerland in Syracuse, is enlarging his (fare, to include fried chicken. See ad, this issue. He states Burgerland s business far exceeds their wildest dream for this time of year. That’s good. Syracuse Lions were real busy Saturday p.m. and Sunday selling Christmas trees in the Village. This is the second year for them, and it is developing into a real money-maker for them. We were surprised to learn our suggestion that the Lakeland school board might do well to have a capable. qualified lady as one of its members, was met by some with (tongue in cheek ‘ “But no,” cried several close to the board, the job is too frustrating, long hoars, trips away from home, etc. Probes were made as to whom we had in mind. We can think of at least

three ladies who would make good board members, and a little thought wxxild bring out many more equally qualified, we’re sure. The detractors apparently overlook the great job many women are doing as heads of companies the country over. It’s to downgrade our area to say we don’t have capable women in our midst. What do you think? • • Also, the item that the Catholic churches at Pierceton and Ligonier would be closed and a new church built south of Syracuse was termed “premature,” and “not 100 per cent accurate.” We stand by the iteng with faith in our anonymous informant. • . • * Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Williams, owners of the House of Gems, plan to take a well deserved rest in Florida, beginning Feb. 1. They have rented their building, are having a close-out sale of all items, fixtures included. They’re a fine couple, and certainly deserve the rest. Mr. Williams is a real craftsman with gems. Ask him about it. You’ll see. County commissioner Lawrence Butts and county auditor Noble Blacker made a successful trip late last week to Indianapolis to get the “okay” from state officials for the purchase of the addressograph machine tor the court house. State officials assured them that this type of a purchase for Kosciusiko county was in line with the.thmk!ing of the state to better handle work in the court house. Over $9,700 will be spent yet this year for name ; plates, a machine to make the 1 plates and other supplies to “get , the show on the road.” Other items l will be'added over the next couple of years to complete the equipment.
