John was in Syracuse Friday before leaving for O’Hare Field near Chicago on Saturday to emplane for New York, and then non-stop to Athens. He showed longtime friend Ross Osborn his picture taken at age 18 when he came to the United States to seek his fortune. He also had his; passport book with him with an up-| to-date photo. With Ferris here was his close friend Pete Valassis, well known ;»s the former owner of Bungalow Gar- | dens in Goshen. Pete also came to America as a young man. He said. “Oh, how I would like to be making this trip with John, but my wife is ill and 1 cannot leave her.” ; • • • i Biil Myers of Dewart I>ake prontises to do well in his new enterprise at North Webster.

What happened?*’ "I told her to release her clutch and sdie took her hands off the wheel." • • • It can happen, and did. Two weeks ago we spilled a page of type just as we were ready to go to press. We picked up most of it, but some type was pied (scrambled!) hopelessly. When we put it back together, we could not make out the pied portion. What we didn’t know was that it included several obituaries, which we printed the following week. One was of Pardee Warstler of lecsburg. for many, many years a highly respected Milford merchant.
and subscriber to this newspaper. When the obit failed to appear in the issue following his death, it caused keen concern among members of his family, and justly so. We regret the matter and offer our apologies. '•0 0 If you were in Syracuse last Thursday p.m. and heard two large explosions. coming in rapid succession, you can be sure they weren’t sonic booms. They were the result of a bizarre tale of a r 2 resident trying to open up springs that fed a pond on his place. The man was Ed Huber, who lives about two miles southwest of Syracuse and operates a cabinet shop in Milford. On his place Ed has a pond that went dry. Someone told him to dynamite the pond to open the springs! He took this unlikely advice and procured 330 pounds of ammonia nitrate to do the job. He buried the explosive ( which he said it takes dynamite to set off’, packet! it well for maximum impact, then set off the charge. He said debris went 300 feet in the air. It blew out three windows in his house, and all the windows in his garage. secure at 300 feet distance, he felt the full force of the explosion as the wind blew his wavy locks into a newtype upsweep. He said the force of the explosions moved 16-inch logs a distance of 500 feet! Ed. a World War 11 paratrooper who has seen his share of explosives at work, didn't reckon with the power of ammonia nitrate. After the Democratic caravan left Syracuse Saturday morning, noise and all, townsman Sam Swedarsky went into Burkholder’s drug and said to waitress Pam Combs, “Well, the election is over, give me a Coke.” She came back with. “After that I thought you would want a Bromo Seltzer." * * * When Rotary president said he had his Conair filled with Rotary materials. he was about to get fined for advertising. Fellow Rotarian Bill Cutter quickly spoke up. “You can’t fine me. He didn’t buy it from me.” ♦ ♦ ♦

Lakeland Youth News By Bud Smith Due to the bad weather last week, our slave day was not the success I had hoped for. We could not do any of the outside work. If Lie weather smiles on us this week, we will again try to get these outside jobs done for you, this Saturday. Hours will be the same 9 a.m. to's p.m. Call 457-3055. We have our first ball game Friday night and there will be a dance at the Youth Center from the time the game is over until 11:15. The “Tymes” will furnish the music for this affair. Saturday night we will have a dance from 7:30 to 10:30 with the fabulous "Tikes”. Don’t miss this one gang, it’s going to be one of the big ones. Don’t forget folks, those of you who have a membership card that is In need of renewal should do so at your first opportunity. We are storing to check cards at the door now, and you should have a current card on your person. Another thing about memberships, we have decided that rather than send junior high home at 9:30 on week ends that we will let them stay until closing at the usual time. However, they must cow pay the $3 fee the same as senior members. Those of you who have already paid SI for your new membership will be asked to pay S 2 more. Even at S 3 per year it's a pretty small fee to pay for a place to go and let off steam and enjoy yourself. Membership runs for a full year from the month it was purchased. In closing I wwld like to make a plea to any one interested in helping to keep our Youth Center going strong. .As you know this is a nonprofit organization and we rely entirely on donations and the other programs such as slave day and the style show for our operating funds. Any donations are tax deductable, and there is still plenty of time to do this fine thing for your community. If you are interested, just send your donations to Lakeland Youth Center, Box 201, Syracuse. Your donor member card will be in the return mail.

Won't You Share Your Christmas Gifts With Mental Patients?
Won't you share your Christmas gifts with the mental patients in our state’s hospitals? That is the cry currenly sounded throughout the state at this time of the year. Mental, health gifts must be collected and turned over to the state agencies before the end of November to allow workers to select the right gifts for the rigiit patient. The Mail-Jourunal offices in Milford and Syracuse are being used by Mrs. Arch Baumgartner, Van Buren and Turkey Creek township chairman, as collection agencies. What To Do? You say you would be glad to donate, but you don’t know what to do! It’s simple. First you select a nice, new gift suitable for an adult patient. There is always a shortage of men’s gifts. Then, go to a collection center and fill in the special gift tag. It’s that simple! Gift suggestions follow with state department officials asking that no "used” gifts or gifts in breakable container be sent.

After the regular meeting the Greenhands were subjected to an informal initiation which lasted into the next school day when they were required to dress in certain clothing. Last year’s Greenhands were raised to the second degree achievable in FFA work during the meeting. A total erf 14 were raised to the degree of Chapter Farmer and will now be able to function as regular FFA members.

This may mean the chapter will be more active than ever.
