Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER I get a lot of mail, but today I received a letter that really threw me—it was from Kavala, Greece. That is not unusual as I have written to a woman in Greece, but when I opened the letter it was written in Greek. If anyone at Syracuse reads Greek he is welcome to see the letter. I hear the first trailer rolled off the assembly line Wednesday at Vega Homes and is on its way to New York. Another going industry for Syracuse! The W. R. Thomas store has been having some new plate glass windows put in. One on the Main street side and one on the Huntington street window. Syracuse gets rather quiet during the daytime now with many older youth in college and high school age out at the new high school. Many places to go last week end with the football games and other school activities. We have a couple of busy “B’s” working with the chamber of Commerce now — Bill Brammer and Bill Beemer. They are putting the Chamber back on its feet, so to speak, and the town should back them up.

Fred Byland has been busy the past week moving his jewelry store across the street from the Pickwick building to the Main street side of the Bon-Len restaurant. The building is a beehive of activity as Mr. Charles moves in the back and Bonnie Workman is making changes in the restaurant. The Pickwick Lounge looks nice these days with its new front and fall decorations on the inside. Evelyn and “Red” Marlin are hard working people. There are only 71 more shopping days until Christmas.
