lItRIZINXS AROUND 'w / _ Occasionally something comes to our desk w-hich we feel should have wider circulation. Such was a piece from the Syracuse town board and clerk-treasurer, and we think you will appreciate its message. OUR TOWN Once again we near the close of another year and in many ways it has been a good year. But like all years it has been made up of joys, some progress and many sorrows. It is hard to believe at the close of the years the many friends who have left us and certainly leave a large empty place in our town. Friends are to me as beautiful flowers that give us so much joy and pleasure only to wither and pass. Many new faces are here and we do hope as we get to know them they will in some small way fill this awful void. Although we know, no one can fully replace the loss of others. We were successful in obtaining the land for the park and also completed the new bridge, which was well worth the effort. Also we have a new Trailer Manufacturer in this district. All in all it has been a prettygood year and we are thankful for every day of it. Your town board and I wish to take this time to thrnik each and every one for your teip and many kindnesses during this year and to wish all of you a very merry Uhristmas and the best of blessing for the new year. W. F. Calnon Clerk-Treasurer Byron Connolly Blanche Bates Willard Nusbaum Vernon Beckman

Loren Longenbaugh Town Board • • • The Liberty Coach Co. plant at Syracuse is down for three weeks for a change-over to its new model. Most workers welcome the “breather.” a • • Red Weber, owner of Gold Crown Bowling Lanes at Nappanee, received wide picture-publicity recently when he bowled a perfect 300 game. On a hunch, we asked him what score he got on the next game he played. “I w-ish you hadn’t asked”, he said, then coyly admitting he got a 156! Wow! We touched off a good one. The problem of a public recreation area vs. a Purdue experimental station at the fish hatchery site has set off a chain of discussions almost everywhere one goes. It even reached the halls of the SyracuseW’awasee Rotary club. It was a topic (pro and con' at the club meeting last Monday. Then its bulletin had something to say on the subject. W’e are reprinting it. mainly to let townspeople know just what the Rotary club has done and that they are not afraid to take a stand. Here it is: MEW POINTS ON THE FISH HATCHERY PROPERTY President August asked for opinions in the matter of transferring this abandoned state property to Purdue university to be used as a laboratory facility. Without exception. I believe, our entire community will be in accord with this project. It may be said that this is not a matter for Rotary discussion because of the possibility of political connotations. I firmly believe it is within the province of Rotary to enter all civic discussions, since its membership comprises a vast part of the leadership of civic problems. Through the tireless efforts of several Rotarians. Syracuse emerged with a modern new fire station, equipped with up to the minute equipment. Rotarians initiated the building of a Ball Park for the Junior Boys’ Club, which stands as a masterpiece in a town of this size. Rotarians headed a drainage problem in a property

west of the ball park which came up as an expected, costly detail for that area. Rotarians have underwritten the cost of a farm given to the Boy Scouts of Syracuse. Rotarians have figured significantly into the establishment of a Conservancy District in our lake system for the purpose of building a sewage and disposal plant to clarify the water in our lakes, and remove the contamination of the ground from which drinking water is pumped, and to supply a water system as a fire control. There are many more things of civic improvement that Rotarans of our club have helped to resolve. The entire list of projects have been attended by pros and cons, from which was derived the best of solutions. A new project has been suggested in connection with the Fish Hatchery proposal: The improvement of the lake shore into a park area with a bathing beach. There is adequate ground from the Hatchery building to the shore line to make a fine park. Such a venture requires serious discussion from both the Fors and Againsts. Rotarynow has three major improvement projects on which to work! The building of a beach and park area at Lake Wawasee: the procurement of the Conservancy District to include our four lakes, and the establishment of a Purdue Laboratory unit at the State Fish Hatchery property. While the acquisition of these projects does not lie within Rotary accomplishment. Rotary support should be a responsibility. • • • Milford principal Harold Young showed up at the county tourney drawing at Steer Inn last Thursday night, sporting a loud necktie with five small lights gleaming. Moderator Gaylord Toll asked him to stand up and show the novelty off. It turned out he had a small battery- in his pocket furnishing current for the lights. In the dark room he was easily the most prominent man present. ' • ♦ * What are the two large upright posts doing in front of Brammer’s Furniture south of Syracuse?

fellows this year!” These were the words of Dr. Herschel Coil, who made a golfing trip to Gulf Springs, Miss., near Biloxi last February with Jim Connolly. Arch Baumgartner and Claud Heckaman. “She said you were too wild for me”, he grinned. ♦ * * A surpriser in the upcoming county basketball tourney could be the team from Our Lady of the Lake Seminary. No one really knows their potential, and maybe they don’t know themselves. They haven’t played in the county classic before. It should prove real sporting with this possible “dark horse” in the field. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY’ NEW YEAR!

Along Main Street By JERI SEELY Ouch! Seems we mentioned a few stores being decorated two weeks ago and forgot to mention others—shame on us. We think the whole town looks nice. The students of MHS did an outstanding job painting scenes on the windows — won’t mention any names so persons can't say we left theirs out. The police station looks like Christmas since the officers put up new lights and other decorations. We like the candles on the steps of the town hall. The weather finally cooperated long enough for the Rhetama club and Marion Deeter, street and water commissioner, to hang the greens and the tree at the town hall is up and decorated. • Looks like Milford is ready for the jolly Christmas Eve visitor. By the way kids, he'll be here from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, so be watching for him! Do think the Chamber of Commerce’s decorating contest is a good idea. They stalled judging Friday and will continue through Christmas. The juniors at MHS have two great money-making projects planned. The girls will babysit at the home of Paula Burgett on New Year’s Eve and the boys will pick up Christmas trees on January 3. We can’t think of better ways for high school students to make money for their class treasury. » » * Enjoyed a visit Saturday evening with the Robert Hoovers at New Haven. They are former Syracuse residents and are known by many in Our Town. • * ♦ Trojans vs. Trojans. That’s what we said, please note the tournament parings elsewhere in this issue. Milford plays North Webster. We’re pulling for our home town Trojans to win the tournament and keep the Horse Shoe! I Must run as I’ve still some Christmas shopping to do before the end of i the week—Merry Christmas!
