Four young swim enthusiasts of the Syracuse community bucked a heavy headwind as they swam Friday morning from Oakwood Park across Lake Wawasee to the site of the old South Shore Inn. The party was made up of Dianne Deck, Met Schopf, Dave Schopf and Jack Schopf, swimming under the watchful eye of their instructor Debby Money and her dad, conservation officer Earl Money. They set out at 11:15 a.m. in cold and rough water, headed for the fish hatchery site, but were forced to turn in at South Shore. Each one received a 10-mile swim card for completing one phase of their swim program. Each swimmer had a tube of honey to supply them with quick energy and rested by swimming on their backs, Debby said. r There’s a quet move under foot to rid Jefferson and Scott townships of hemp (marijuana), that has received little or no notice. Under the watchful eye of Jefferson township farmer Kenneth Haney, a group met and planned to press for a clean-up of the “filthy weed”. Haney reported seeing cars in the vicinity of his Hastings home with New Jersey and Chicago license plates. The annual party for Seth Ward’s birthday came off Sunday without a hitch, and with about 150 youngsters turning out to help the “old barrister” observe his 69th birthday. For a while it looked like this year’s festivities would be can. celled, but not so. Seth was' there, ice cream ladle in hand, dishing up the creamy delight to lip-smacking youngsters. ❖ ❖ $ There were some rapid reverberations to the tax* committee hearing in the Syracuse school cafeteria last Tuesday night at which the school board attended. A group of Jefferson township residents, feeling for a long time that they failed to have what they called “good representation” on the school board, took Kenneth Haney at his word when he said the school board should have a farmer as a member. They quickly confronted Haney and urged him to back up his word. He held off, we learned, until he talked to county clerk, T. Ethna Scott, at a GOP rally in Warsaw on Saturday. When she told Haney it was the last day for him to file, he got his signatures and dropped his application for candidacy in the mail late Saturday night. All this did not exactly delight Mrs. Haney, but friends have encouraged her to get behind her husband’s efforts. ❖ ❖ $ Two state board of accounts men spent last week going ovter the town’s books and will be there at least for the remainder of this week. This is a procedure that must be requested, and usually is where a new clerk-treasurer takes over the town’s books, especially where there is the slightest doubt about the town’s financial matters. ■K « « Another big rash of paper back books spouting the conservative line are beginning to hit the market as this year’s election comes around. We received our first one in the mail, from R. Croumlich, 110 East Ruple St., North Liberty, Ind. Name of the book: “The Death of A Nation” by John A. Stormer. Milford Locals Mr. and Mrs. Dan Kaufmann and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Freidinger of Morton, 111., spent the week end in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wuthrich at Milford. Mrs. Richard Felkner, Mrs. Robert Brooks and Mrs. Jim Brooks, all of Milford, attended the Women’s Society of Christian Service workshop held in Mentone on Thursday.

3-Way License,: Before Leesburg Town Board H. J. Gladieux appeared before members of the Leesburg town board as it met Tuesday evening and requested an ordinance be passed for a three-way liquor license for his place of business. Frank Rader made a motion to pass such an ordinance and Richard Klopenstein seconded same. Harold Irvine was against the ordinance. Clerk-treasurer Esta Yocum requested legal council before signing the ordinance. In other business before the board a discussion was held on police protection for certain areas both in and out of the town limits. The board will meet with the merchants at 7 p.m. on Monday to continue this discussion. Curb repairs were discussed with the work to be done. It was reported one child has been bitten or scratched by a large police dog—the matter of dogs running loose was brought before the board. The clerk is to type an ordinance prohibiting any coin operated gas station from coming into the Leesburg town limits. A truck bed is to be returned as it is not suited for the job the town wanted to use it for. Traffic is to be controlled at the school only when children are being loaded or unloaded from buses. Tickets are to be issued in cases where automobiles are illegally parked, headed in the wrong direction or on the wrong side of the street. Snow removal was discussed and it was decided to rent equipment and hire a man to plow off the snow when necessary.
