? &PCIUNCU x verOrJ A fellow publisher, Howard Grossman of Salem, Ind., wrote the following in his column, “Tower of Babble:” Comparing newspapers with women: They both have forms; back numbers are not in demand; they always have the last word; they are all worth looking over; they have a good deal of influence; you can’t believe all they say; there’s a small demand for bold-face types. And every man ought to have one of his own and not borrow his neighbors. * • * Perhaps the most fantastic industry in these parts right now is the mobile home industry. Last * Thursday The Elkhart Truth carried a story about the growth of Monarch Industries, Inc., of Middlebury, of which Gaylord Jones of East Shore Drive (Syracuse Lake) is vice president. The company has just announced completion of a new 35,000-square-foot mobile home facility north of Syracuse of Cambridges Homes, Inc., an affiliate. It is just north of the Regent Homes, Inc., plant north of town. Now get this: Consolidates sales last year rose to $12,544,502 from $7,926,372 the year before, with net income increasing more than five-fold, rising to $322,604 or SI.OB a share on 300,000 shares outstanding.

standing in 1967. Expansion of the facility last year included an addition to the company’s Middlebury plant and construction of a pilot plant for the production of core houses adjacent to Monarch’s present Syracuse plant (Regent). The company is presently producing a limited number of core houses for test marketing purposes. All this makes one believe Syracuse is becoming a little mobile home manufacturing center. With Liberty Coach a long-time and trusted name in the mobile home field being one of Syracuse’s most reliable and stable local industries, now the local market is being expanded with the building of a new plant by Vega Homes, Inc., on the Dick Miller 60-acre property just west of the city proper. • * • This week former Syracuse high school principal and Mrs. Robert Slavens will be moving to Wabash, Ind., where Mr. Slavens will become principal in the high school there.

As much as anything, teachers were busy finding their own locations and location of supplies. The new, cavernous building will be a puzzlement to most everyone—including parents—for some time to come. Putting new aluminum lettering on the administrative building were two men from the Akron, Ohio, Ornamental Iron Works, and does it look nice!

Before they’re done, a large sign—Wawasee high school—also of aluminum lettering, will be on the east side of the south wing. ♦ * ♦ John Walker, manager of the First Charter Insurance Co.

He adds, “In the event inflation has filtered down to the more tranquil and pastoral sections of our tumultous nation, feel delighted in billing me for the additional price. Since leaving the area I haven’t had much information about anything (or anybody). Therefore the weekly panegyrics will be enthusiastically received”, adding, “Incidentally, am now enrolled at the greatest intercollegiate institution in the country (U. of Southern Cal.) in the prestigeous graduate school of business administration”.

Fairfield Schools To Open Sept. 3

Fairfield Community Schools will open on Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 8 a.m. with the new high school being completed to the point that school can be conducted, barring unforeseen problems. The remodeling of the old high schools has been completed both at Millersburg and New Paris. The professional staff is complete with the exception of a remedial reading teacher. The corporation is currently planning to have in each boxholders’ hands next week a “Fairfield News” newspaper which will have a great deal of information about the schools. The staff assignment as well as other school news will be included. The following information from the principals of the schools and members of the administrative staff will be of interest to the patrons of Fairfield. Busses will pick up youngsters at approximately their usual time. This may vary a few minutes either way because of our new attendance centers and some bus route changes. School will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. both September 3 and 4. The first full day of school will be Thursday, Sept. 5. > Lunches will be served at the schools on September 3. Lunch tickets will be available September 3. Prices are 35 cents for elementary and 40 cents for jun-ior-senior high. The first week will be a four day week; so students should take $1.40 or $1.60 respectively if they desire to purchase weekly tickets. School will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. both September 3 and 4 and students will arrive home, having had lunch if they so desire, sometime within an hour after dismissal. It may be necessary to transfer pupils from one elementary building to the other because of facilities, staff, class size, and/

or transportation. This determination will be made as soon as we can determine enrollment and study other factors. In any case, parents will be informed if their students are to be involved in a change. Principals’ offices at both elementary schools are open for registration of pupils new to the district. Office hours are 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Children who have not enrolled for kindergarten may do so provided they will be five years of age on or before September 1. The parent must bring the child’s birth certificate at the time of registration. Parents of kindergarten age children will te invited to a scheduled conference on September 3 or September 4. Regular kindergarten classes will begin Thursday, Sept. 5. Children who will be six on or frVfore September T may enter team 1. However, all students who have not completed kindergarten were required to take a reading readiness test which was given at 9 a.m. this morning at Millersburg for students who will enter school there for the first time; and at New Paris for students who will be entering there for the first time. The special education class will be housed in the New Paris elementary school (formerly the New Paris high school). Book rental fees and other information will be sent home with students the first day of school. Persons with questions should call John Andrews at Millersburg or John Secor at New Paris. Fairfield students in grades 712 will be attending in the new school located just north of Benton on U.S. 33. Students new to the Fairfield Community School District should register for school this week. All Fairfield high school stu-

dents, grades 9-12, are requested to report to the new high school this week for the purpose of registering for classes. There have been several adjustments in course offerings and students will want to have their program of studies determined prior to the opening of school. Students in grades 7-8 need not register for school unless they are new to the district. Hours for the high school guidance counselor and principals’ offices this week will be 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Friday and 12 noon to 8 p.m. Thursday. Those students who can register during the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. hours should do so, as there will probably be quite a number of working students who will wait until the evening hours. Fairfield junior-senior high school will observe a closed school day, meaning that the students will remain on the school grounds during the entire day. Classes will begin at 8:15 daily and students will be dismissed at 3:30. For information call Max Bailey at the new school. MRS. HAROLD SHOCK, SYRACUSE, IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Harold Shock of r 2 Syracuse continues to be a patient in the Goshen hospital where she underwent surgery again on Friday afternoon. Her condition remains about the same. CHICAGOAN HOSPITALIZED Mrs. William Loudick (Bonnie Brouwer) is recovering from an auto accident which occurred on July 28 at Hammond as she was returning from Syracuse to her home in Chicago. She had been visiting her mother, Mrs. Orrin Smith, and children and her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Brouwer, at Syracuse. She was transferred from Saint Margaret’s hospital at Hammond to the Weiss Memorial hospital in Chicago where she is still a patient.
