'lnternational Press' Is Called Diplomatic Culprit

The “international press” — whatever that might be was hauled over the hot coals in a talk before the Milford Lions club Monday night. The press, as such, was charged with causing most of the misunderstanding between the United States and France. The charge came from a young lady whose beauty and charm made us want to believe it, hut the full facts left her full argument wanting. Serving As Interpreter Tne pretty thing was Miss Jeanette Sauve, who is making her home in Milford with Mr. and Mrs. Jean Boveau. residents of France who are working with the Barth Corporation in Milford for several months. She is serving the Boyeaus as interpreter. Miss Sauve on June 30 terminated a twv-year stint with the French Consulate Generals office at Chicago, and billowing her release from those duties took tlie post with the Boyeaus. Miss Sauve, engaging withal, lost no time in bringing the “international press” into account as thg : culprit causing all the trouble When questioned in a question" and answer session if. indeed. President Charles DeGaulle didn't start the whole thing by throwing the book at NATO and practically kick the alliance off French soil. Miss Sauve s well rehearsed answer was that “Mr. DeGaulle only withdrew from NATO.”

She even took Bill Mauldin. the Chicago Sun-Times syndicated cartoonist. to task for his poignant drawings on the ever-worsening situation between the United States and France. Site said President DeGaulle is brusque in his rneUxxis of handling public matters, referring to it by saying “he. .doesn't just close the door, he slams it!” But her talk was more than that. It was a good background talk about the workings of the Consulate General's office and was a refreshing repast for a group whose normal life is worlds apart from such international matters. Miss Sauve said she had an American father and a French mother and was born on French soil; thus, she carries both American and French citizenship. She said she likes to think of herself as a painter. We recommend you listen to her, if you have the chance. Other Business In other business.

Petition Filed To Vacate Alley In Syracuse

At the regular meeting of the Syracuse town board of trustees held Tuesday evening clerk-treas-urer Walter Calnon told the board members he had received a summons for the town to appear in court. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gingerich have through their attorney R.

The rate of reimbursement will be $5 per hour for use of equipment and $2 for labor. Mr. Reed reported to the board on the property across the street from the city park, a part of the Hoopingarner estate which the town has placed a bid on. Since other bids are higher board members approved a 5250 raise in the town’s bid. Mr. Reed also told the board he had received a notification of the time on the W. E. Long $5,000 gift to the town. The provisions in the will call for the town to purchase all property between the city park and state road 13 by July 24.

The state governs the state road on the errection of bilhkiards and each town governs inside its limits.

Two Youths Killed In Saturday Auto Wreck

Tragedy struck the Lakeland area Saturday morning when two Greenfield youths were killed as their sports car left the road and struck a building on the Eli Lilly property on Lake Wawasee. Dead are Michael M. McCully and Barry M. Holliday. McCully, 20, was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James McCully, wellknown summer residents of Lake Wawasee. When in Greenfield the family resides at 607 west Main street. Holliday, 19, son of Mrs. Katherine Holliday of 145 Spring street, Greenfield, and Vemis Holliday, was visiting with his mother in the Me Cully home prior to leaving for service in the army. Veers Off Pavement Holliday was driving the 1965 metallic blue Sting Ray owned by Me Cully. They were westbound on county road 650E which runs along the north shore of Lake Wawasee, apparently heading for the McCully home about three-quarters of a mile away. It was 1:10 a.m. After negotiating several sharp • curves between the Wawasee Golf club and the Lilly estate the car ■ veered off the pavement, skidded broadside some 157 feet and hit a maple tree located 16 feet from the pavement. State trooper Julian 1 Echterling found no tire skid marks • on the pavement to indicate the car had been braked before leaving the ‘ road. After hitting the maple tree the - sports car slammed head-on into the “ two-story glazed-block building located on the old Sargent Hotel ; grounds, noW owned by Mr. Lilly. The impact tore gaping boles on both skies of the building. Several heavy articles stored in the building were exploded through one wall of the building. The car came to a stop with the front bumper protruding from the opposite end of the building. It was covered with debris. Barry Holliday Holliday was dead on arrival at the Goshen hospital. He had been found behind the bent steering wheel and had suffered severed blood vessels in his right hmg. His bead slammed forward into the strip of metal around the windshield at the sunvisor, resulting in another perhaps fatal injury. He is survived by his mother; a twin brother, Bruce; and a younger brother, Ted. He had attended a junior college in California and was working at Robinson Drug Store in Greenfield. He would have entered the service on Thursday. Holliday was born on March 9, 1947. The body was taken to the Hendryx mortuary at Greenfield where services were held at 10 a.m. Monday.
