AROUND TllV .OWgO ■ / It has been reported that the most enthusiastic golfers are out already sharpening up their game with the recent mild, weather. Seems like the first golfer predicts the coming of spring as much as the robin or crocus. Beware of the four early birds who got in their spring practice down at Biloxi, or as the Mississippians call it, Blucksi. We expect to be greet'ed with a “Hi, y’all” most any day. « • • Foo and Faye Wong have left our fair city—not for long though—on a trip out west, Arizona way. Maybe Foo will let us know how to accomplish Cantonese cookery over a campfire. When the restaurant re-opens this spring, maybe we’ll have Cantonese food cooked with an Arizona flair. Heard a “Helpful Hanna” tip the other day for housewives. If you or a friend wear contact lens, don’t throw i away the used plastic bottle that j contains the wetting or soaking solution. Carefully pry off the spout, pour .in a little detergent, replace the spout and use it at the kitchen sink in place of bar soap. It’s handy on a trip, too. I When Atlantic City is mentioned, what do you think of? The Boardwalk? Beauty Pageants? Seems there are many points of interest in and around Atlantic City other than the ones a person usualily thinks of. Elementary co - ordinator Ed Speer, who attended the school administrators meeting there recently with Lakeland superintendent Lewis Immel, was telling his wife of the interesting sidelights. Sounds like it would be a good stop if you’re planning a trip to the eastern part of our country. With some going east and some going west, our Syracuse residents are following the slogan, “See A- ! merica First.” • • « 1 We understand that Paul Moore takes a nightly run—literally—along North Shore Drive to be in step with the President’s program on physical fitness. We see a lot of the physical fitness program advertised on TV and it’s nice to know some are taking it to heart. Anvone for exercising with the | “Chicken Fat” record? Dale Allen j needs some company. . 1 * ‘ ’ >! The Syracuse elementary basket- ‘ ball tournament showed prospects of good basketball material coming out of Syracuse in a few years. ( i Those fifth and sixth graders play- ’’ ed with all the enthusiasm and zeal 1 of the pros. It looked like some of the youngsters used the varsity play- | ers as models for their style of play. The cheerleaders and pep blocks were giving their all to cheer their team on to victory! The elementary school is doing a line job of promoting athletics and team play. School spirit is being instilled in these young students at an early age. Teachers Ronald Bible and Richard Cripe have put in a lot of time after school and on Saturdays to work with these boys. • • • Heard of a conversation the other day about blotters. You know, the kind you used to get in the mail along with the bill for an insurance premium that was due? Or the little ones toe banks used to have on the

' writing desks in the lobby? Guess with the coming of the ballpoint pen, we saw the pasetag ; of the little cardboard blotters. Come to think of it, haven’t seen anybody using a fountain pea lately either, so there isn’t much use for the lowly blotter. If you have one, might be nice to hang on to it as a memento of days gone by. One Syracuse resident can rest easy now, though. She has a Hotter given to her by a friend. * * • It has been rumored around that LaVada Dean has started a civil defense unit of her own. This is a false rumor. A new organization has been formed. It is an emergency mobile communication patrol organization, known as the Wawasee Silver Streaks. This organization was formed about a month ago and the men of the organization have already helped a neighboring town when it was having difficulties. It is a non-profit organization and is willing to help anyone and anywhere when help is needed. It has CB radios and soon will be advanced trained in first aid. If anyone is interested in joining the Wawasee Silver Streaks EMCPO, contact Jimmy Gilbert, 117 west Carroll street, Mrs. Robert (Pa- , tricia> Dean. 400 Parkway drive, or Charles (Bud) Hall of r 4. While a group of Syracuse cub scouts, were touring The M-J plant at Milford last week one little boy. declared his mother had three of those (M-J’s) around the house. Couldn't help but wonder what another paper's reporter could want three M-J’s for! ! Jackie Stump Represents Navy At Graduation USS WILLIAM C. LAWE - Yeoman third class Jackie D. Stump, USN, son of Mr. and Mi’s. Bruce D. McClintic of Milford, represented the U. S. navy at graduation ceremonies of the Imperial Ethiopian Naval college at Massawa, Eritrea, Ethiopa while serving aboard the destroyer USS William C. Lawe. Representing their navies were the British frigate HMS Eskimo, the French frigate Commandant Riviere, and the Russian destroyer Plamenny. His Majesty King Olav V of Norway and His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia presided over the graduation ceremonies. The following day, the ships of each nation participated in tectical maneuvers during a naval demonstration, and then passed in review for King Olav V and Emperor Haile Selassie. On the third day, Lawe and an Ethiopian team participated in a tug-of-war contest. Lawe’s “brute strength” defeated the more exiperienced Ethiopian team, and both teams received a standing ovation from spectators.
