Why must they leave home to earn a living? Industry has much to gain by locating its new plants in the towns and rural areas of Indiana. Excellent plant sites are available. Transportation is good, taxes are fair, the air is fresh and clean. Friendly chambers of commerce stand ready to cooperate< And, we have capable young men and women with solid educations... who want to ~ build their futures in their home communities. The Hoosier Energy generating plant offers another big incentive to new industry. The plant will be operating within a year. Then—rural electrics in southern Indiana can offer industry dependable, economical REMC fey service, backed by their own source of ■* electric power.

C&JzntMW around < A ■>3 NOBLE C. BLOCKER No one was more surprised at the “Civic Night In Syracuse” program at the Syracuse school than Noble C. Blocker, longtime Syracuse resident who was the subject of the “This Is Your Life” skit put on by the Senior Citizens. As the skit progressed, Blocker found parts of it similar to his own life story, but he failed to tumble that it might be he

they were talking about. The sponsoring B and P W made this their best kept secret. Blocker’s only comment was, “Where did you dig up all that stuff about me?” He was a longtime Syracuse banker, county auditor for one term and a party functionary on the local scene for many years. His appearance on stage made a fitting climax to a very fine program put on by all local talent. The B and P W which has promised all proceeds from the event to civic projects, has a long list of “good deeds to its credit”. Formed in May of 1937 by nine business ladies, the B and P W has been active in community affairs ever since. The object of the club was to cultivate friendly relations in the community, to encourage participation in community and public affairs and to give the professional women an opportunity to meet each other and by personal contact and exchange of ideas broaden the individual outlook. Among the club’s projects was the Crosson Mill Park . . . they furnished trees, pay for the upkeep, erected a sign and keep it in repair and the club placed the Indian there. The park was named by the B and P W and was so called because of the cld mill that sunk there around 1889. They furnished park benches and playground equipment for the city park and have given money for its upkeep. They share the expense of the scout cabin and have a member on its board. Several hundred dollars worth of new equipment was purchased for the first aid truck. Reflectors were purchased by the B and P W and was so called because of the old mill that sunk there around 1889. Last year’s stage review pro. ceeds were donated to the Lakeland Youth Center. They have donated money for high school band uniforms, Wawasee Drum and Bugle Corps uniforms, the milk fund at school, uniforms for the Syracuse elementary school safety patrol, etc. We could go on and on and on . . . * * * The basketball team of the new Wawasee high school will be without the services of Dave Webster, tall, high-scoring Yellow

NEW DIRECTOR, ASSISTANT — Terry Lee Auker, center, director of the Lakeland youth center at Syracuse, and his assistant, Anne Jensen, left, were receiving instructions from outgoing director Forrest (“Bud”) Smith when this photo was taken. The two will take over their new responsibilities on April 15. Auker, 26, teaches the fifth and sixth grades at the Milford school. He is a native of Altoona, Pa., and graduated from Grace college, Winona Lake, in 1964. His wife’s name is Sandra and they have a son, 17-month-old Terry Lee, 11. Miss Jensen resides at 2514 East Center street in Warsaw with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. Herman Jensen, and hopes to move to Syracuse soon. She attended Loretta Heights college at Denver, Colo. Smith has been director of the center for four years, becoming director when the youth center was founded.

Jacket, and the Syracuse school’s art department will be without the services of his talented mother, Georgia Webster. The Websters, island residents on Lake Wawasee, plan to move back to Goshen following the present school year. Why didn’t we think of this: We read where the Democrats this year will have their choice of three birds: “hawks”, “doves”, and “vultures”. Now, with the bowing out of President Johnson, it might be said to boil down to the “doves” and “vultures”. * * ♦ Barbara Orr, well known for her work at Thelma’s Beauty Salon located near the Wawasee golf course, is the first graduate of Amber’s Beauty Schools’ new instructor training program at Indianapolis. At Thelma’s she specialized in hair and wig styling. ♦ ♦ ♦ Noted for his slow driving, un-. usualist Seth Ward has put one

of those danger-slow-driver triangular orange signs on the back of his old Lincoln. The signs are usually reserved for farm wagons and tractors. * * ♦ Foo and Faye’s Cantonese Restaurant opened Tuesday for the season, but quietly, since Faye says she has the usual problem of help adjustment at the time of opening. During the winter they toured Mexico with another couple. Taking four weeks, they went to Mexico City, Taxco, and Acapulco. They entered Mexico at Brownsville, Texas, and visited the John Herrmans of North Webster while at Brownsville. * * * We didn’t know it before, but Bea Brown is quite a fatalist, and quite a philosopher, too. Area Men Among Purdue Pledges Several young men from this area are among the 1,032 new pledges who have been admitted following mid-year rushing in 37 of the 40 Social fraternities at Purdue university. Thomas Joe Thornburg of Syracuse has pledged Delta Upsilon as has Parker Phend of Milford. Timothy A.
