EDITORIALS Please Don't Spoil 1t...

This editorial is written for a very small per cent of our readers, nontheless. we feel it is necessary. It is to the teenagers who are trying to spoil Halloween for the youngsters. It seems each year as fall arrives in Indiana and the paint brush of the Creator begins to mark the countryside with beauty, a few teenagers in each community take it upon themselves to destroy the property of others. They seem to think the month of October is a license for seeing how much trouble they can get into and what they can get away with before they are caught. Halloween- is a fitting holiday for youngsters who dress up and go door to door ' Trick or Treating.” It’s fun. harmless and thev receive many goodies during their door to door travels. Many persons

Give The United Way

The Kosciusko county United Fund drive is in full swing with the $111,017 goal expected to be reached by the end of the month.

welcome them and even look forward to trying to name each caller. Porch lights are left on in many towns as a sign that a treat is awaiting all who call. But, Halloween activities are being condemned by many people because of the pranks of a few. Town boards have been forced to take action to limit the number of days children can "Trick or Treat” and many have set early curfew laws. If pranks keep up, however, town boards may be forced to halt all Hal’oween activities and this hardly seems fair to the youngsters who get so much fun out of the holiday. So we’re asking you to please not spoil Halloween for future generations. Why should so many be punished for the unthoughtful, selfish actions of a few who refuse to grow up?

Enjoy Trip To West Coast A two-week tour of western states was enjoyed recently by Miss Hilda Ruch and Mrs. Hattie Becker of r 2 Milford. The ladies returned Wednesday night from the west coast on the Burlington Zephyr which gave them an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery between Indiana and California. They took several tours of the city and surrounding areas, among ihem being Stairford university at Palo Alto, nearby Sausalito, a tour at night to see the breathtaking sight of three cities from atop Nob Hill; the Coit Tower and a shoreline drive to Cliff House and luncheon at The Cabana. Fisherman’s Wharf and China Town are a must when visiting this western city — also the historic Cable cars, which run every eight minutes from downtown San Francisco to Fisherman’s Wharf. The shops, restaurants, places of amusemusement of all sorts are here at the Wharf. Eating crabmeat, shrimp and lobster along the street are the “in” things to do while seeing the sights. - Also, the much disctssed “hippies'* are very evident here. They print a newspaper which is for sale to the public and seen to be glad to discuss their bdiefs with anyone who is interested. In a conversation with one young man, it was found he was a native of Zurich. Switzerland He stated he thought to pursue this “hippie” state for a couple years and then go back home and settle down. More Than a Million Since San Francisco is located on an island and cannot exoand any further, apartment buildings and houses are built flush with each other, with no space or lawn between. Some streets are almost perpendicular and look impossible to drive over. With each morning the population swells to well over a million with workers coming in from the surrounding towns. This fact causes living in all phases to be considerably higher than in our area here in the middle west. They are layering <rff the mountains on which to build houses in the near future. There is no place to go only - up. Mr. and Mrs. Nat. D. Brown and Herschel Brown of Kentucky were at Syracuse Friday night and Saturday. Mrs. Lois Harper of Cromwell was a recent visitor in the Ed Harting home at Syracuse.
