Mel claims the perch weighed just over one pound and 10 ounces, caught through the ice.

Ever since I've been working out here the sun has been coining up in the south!” • * « The Syracuse Yellow Jackets had a real supporter in Orrin Smith whose funeral was held at 10 a.m. last Thursday in Syracuse. He died last Monday at 53 years of age in the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne. When Orrin became suddenly ill and needed immediate hospitalization, he refused until he could see the Yellow Jackets (and his son Greg) play their final game in the recent sectional tournament at Warsaw. He had poor health for some time and was unable to work at his job at the Weatherhead plant on Thursday of sectional week due to a paralysis in his legs. It was then that he was ordered into the hospital by his doctor. Smith insisted that he wanted to see his Jackets and son Greg play that night in the sectional, 1 “Even if I have to go in a wheel chair”. And this he did. He was in a wheel chair on the northeast corner of the playing floor, watching Syracuse play Mentone in what was to be the last game for the Jackets. But Orrin was happy. With the Lakeland school consolidation, this was the last game for the Yellow Jackets. Next year Syracuse will be a part of the new Wawasee high school with Milford and North Webster. After the game Mr. Smith was ' taken to the Fort Wayne hospital and -the next day he underwent surgery. He did not return from the hospital until Mt death. * * • Don Hogan of Warsaw is telling friends be has no plans of running for the state legislature again this year, but that he thinks he might make another try in two years.

He plans to put the two buildings into one, and building onto the north building, giving his store more than double its present space. The double building will also have a completely new front.

Not many people know that Dale Weingart, assistant principal at Gary Roosevelt high school (winners of tlie coveted Indiana high school basketball championship Saturday night) is the son-in-law of Syracuse postmaster and Mrs. Ernest E. Bushong. Incidentally, Gary Roosevelt is a pre-dominantly colored school, but Mr. Weingart is not colored. * * * Clarence Ruch, lawn mower practitioner, has installed a small hydraulic lift, the better to practice his trade, and he is mighty proud of it. • • • Fred Cook of Larwill is the new owner and manager of the Crystal Flash service station at the north edge of North Webster. Former owner Harry Minnick is returning to the classroom as a teacher. • • * E. W. Frauhiger and Ray Yoder of Lake Wawasee are telling friends they are planning a round-the-world trip next year.
