around ORI v y I Cal Beck, known as a coach, educator. trustee and all around good ] sport, was recognized recently for, hitting the comeback trail in the bowling department. Here Cal is shown holding a small trophy he received on Wednesday. May 3. from Roy Schultz, secretary of the Wednesday night bowling league. He bowls with the bank's team. In the league standing call was sixth in singles with 487 and third in doubles (with teammate Hentzel!' with 512. But this isn’t the story. Cal. a bowler for 30 years, beginning in the rear of the old theater building when duck pins were used, was sidelined because of crippling hip arthritis. In May 1965 be had an operation on his right hip. replacing the ball of the hip with a stainless steel ball. It's called a hip prosthesis. Sounds painful, but Cal insures us •■it isn't. Entertainer Arthur Godfrey has both hip joints of stainless steel. At any rate it allowed Cal to return I to the bowling team last December. I and since that time he's been nothing but strong support for his team- • mates. His league fellows thought this show of “comeback spirit” deserved recognition, and thus the little momenta you see Cal holding in the above photo. • • • Sometimes you have to wonder if petitions pay off, but residents on county road 510E must know they do. They recently passed a petition asking that the rough and narrow road in front of their homes be blacktopped. Then, on Friday, county commissioner Ray Ferverda surveyed the road, assuring them the job would be done just as soon

as the broken up roads over the county have been repaired. The 16-foot road will be widened to 20 feet and will extend from the end of the W. E. Long road to the Kosciusko-Elkhart county road, a distance of.a quarter mile. • • • George Pippinger, factory huckster. just can’t seem to get his name in the paper, not even when he makes a hole-in-one. He did just that a week ago on South Shore’s 140-yard number 5, using a number 5 iron. “If you don't believe it, just ask Chris or J. R. Koher, or Gordy Carpenter or Bill Wake”, he said. • • • We hear Pierceton high school coach Tom Sittier has an interest in the head coaching post at the new Wawasee high school. Tom has an enviable record as a coach at Pierceton, having just won the ninth straight county track championship, • • • The big NIPSCo neon sign was moved 19 inches hack last week after being hit three times by a large track. • • • Joe Hughes was easily the real hero of the rescue operation that brought a mother raccoon and her five babies from the chimney of the Episcopal church, located on the south side of Lake Wawasee a week ago. Seems as though the feisty ’coon I resisted every effort to bring her and her brood to safety. They built their nest in the chimney, making any attempt at building a fire impossible. Hughes was aided by fellow fireman Deke Firestone and others, but Firestone desenes mention, since it was he who stepped forward to volunteer a safer home for the mother and litter. Perched safely at his nearby home, with trusty Kodak at eye level, was Fred Elstrod. urging the firemen on in one of their more unsung pursuits. • • • A Syracuse lake resident tells friends of “three wild swan" that landed on the lake and swam to arm's length of his pier end fishing berth. He yelled for the Mrs. to bring the camera for a picture. “No one is going to believe this . he said. When telling the story, he was reminded that the birds could just be Canadian geese, depending on the shape of their necks. Now he is thoroughly confused. “We’ll just have to wait until we get the pictures back to see for sure”, be shrugged. From Goshen coach Art Cosgrove s talk before the Milford Lions club last Monday night: “No one should marry for money; he can borrow it cheaper”. We have word that visiting flyers. attending the fly-in at Wawasee Airport during the June 18 Flotilla. will eat at a specially prepared “mess hall” at the Lilly pavilion.
