vRJZIN AROUND JOfryi p War; ■■ J V □k A little known fact about the late Roy Sarjent of Benton, whose final rites were held last Tuesday at Syracuse, was that he was postmaster in Syracuse for a period of about eight years. A native of near Hex school, he became a postal clerk in the terminal in Chicago following his release from military service following World War I. He became postmaster, but lost the. post in 1932 when Franklin D. Roosevelt became President. The postal department at that time was not under civil service and Sarjent, a Republican, was

a victim of the changing of the guard in 1932. He became a postal clerk on the New York Central railroad after 1932. Sarjent, who was in France with the American Expeditionary Forces in France on November 11, 1918, when the Armistice was signed, returned to the Syracuse community to help organize Amerian Legion Post 223. The post lost its charter at one time, and Sarjent was instrumental in the Post’s reorganization at a later date. Besides holding every office in Post 223, he was at one time Chef de Guerre of Voiture 40 et 8 in Warsaw. His fellow Legionnaires fittingly gave him a military funeral service. • * * An interesting bet, of two years’ standing, came to light Saturday night when it was renewed at the Elks club in Warsaw. Dallas Anglin of the Ounette Elevator has a bet with Ray Abell of Abell’s TV, Warsaw, that the U. S. space program will land a man on the moon before the road 30 by-pass is completed around the city of Warsaw. The amount of the bet was not disclosed, by tall, affable Dal Anglin has placed his confidence with the Indiana highway department. * * * With the changing of Indiana’s Governor from Democratic to Republican, as a result of the election, there is sure to be a change in the management at the Syracuse license branch management.

who has been manager since 1960, said she would resign the first of the year regardless of the outcome of the election. Vieing for the post are Harry VanHemert, Betty Schlotterback and LaVada Dean, all Republicans, although most of the jockeying for favor has been undercover. VanHemert, who is the community’s new building commissioner (a post until recently held by Walt Calnon), has been incommunicado on the matter, stating “all I know is what I read in the papers.” Although it is well known he has consulted with Betty Schlotterback by phone and in person in an effort to work out “a deal” whereby he would be named license branch manager and Betty would become acting manager. Both are deserving, since Van Hemert in the past has been a GOP fund raiser par excellence in Turkey Creek township (at one election personally raising over $1»600 for the county kitty) and Betty has been a stalwart, particularly in the Will Erwin camp. LaVada Dean, on the other hand, has had experience working with Annabelle Coil when she was branch manager and has been ably assisting Mrs. Ganshom in recent weeks. She has been quietly lining up support for the post. Mrs. Schlotterback has been making attractive concessions. For instance, she said if she is named manager, she would open offices at Milford and North Webster (presumably at the two fire stations) that folks in those communities can get their licenses locally without bucking a long line at the Syracuse branch. * * ♦ Look for Nancy Yoder, a Wawasee high junior, to be chosen to make the European trip next summer with the ninth School Bands and Choruses of America.

The Syracuse gym was packed to the rafters with many fans standing to see the initial event. While the Warriors lost in a real thriller, it’s a good bet the results might have been otherwise if young Zurcher had not been sidelined by an injury in the first quarter. Comrades Class, Milford, Has Dinner Party Fifteen members of the Comrades Sunday school class of the Milford First Brethren church enjoyed a dinner party Friday evening at Foo and Faye’s south of Syracuse. Arrangements and entertainment were in the charge of Mrs. Helene Faulkner and Mrs. Herman Miller. The table blessing was given by Rev. Curtright. Following a three course dinner, fortunes were read and a short business meeting was presided over by Mrs. Otto Wiggs. Rev. and Mrs. Albert Curtright proved to be most adept in “dissecting a turkey” contest, and in a true or false contest winners were Mrs. Robert Rassi and Otto Wiggs. Mrs. Faulkner read a poem on Thanksgiving and Mrs. Miller read a poem and prayer in keeping with the season. In addition to those already mentioned, the following members were in attendance: Robert Rassi, Mr. and Mrs. Byron Ulrich, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kerlin, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Schultz of Milford and Mrs. George Bullock of Warsaw. St. Martin’s Sodality Holds Christmas Bazaar Monday The Saint Martin De Porres Ladies Sodality held its Christmas Bazaar on Monday, Nov. 11, in the church. Mrs. Ev served as auctioneer. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Albert Bauer, Mrs. John Zimmerman and Mrs. Eugene Henning.

The double ring ceremony at 2 p.m. was conducted by Rev. Kennard Robinson in the presence of 60 guests. Large yellow mums graced the altar. Mrs. Appenzeller, organist, played a medley of bridal selections. Venise Lace Gown Given in marriage by her father, the bride appeared in a white crepe and Venise lace gown, fashioned with an empire bodice styled with a lace yoke, a high escalloped neckline and long sleeves extending to bridal points. A floor length skimmer skirt highlighted by a detachable chapel train bordered with lace. Her Venise lace crown secured an elbow length silk illusion veil. She carried a cascade of white

mums and yellow rose buds. Mrs. Tom Michael of Syracuse was matron of honor. A pine green velvet and satin gown was designed with a semi-fitted bodice, a round neckline accented with braide, short sleeves and Aline skirt styled with satin back panel. Her velvet bow headpiece held a veil. She carried a bouquet of yellow mums with winter wheat and a yellow rose in the center. Miss Marie Mullins of Cromwell was the bridesmaid. Her dress was identical to that of the matron of honor as was her headpiece and bouquet. Mike Rathke of Kimmel was the best man with John Craft of Kimmel and Steve Gillespie Os Ligonier as ushers. Mrs. Martin wore an aqua lace sheath with matching accessories and Mrs. Mullins’ sheath was green wool. Their corsages were of yellow mums.

Loans On Farm Bins Indicate Farmer Interest Farmers’ active interest in storing grain under price supDort is evidenced to some extent by their use of commodity credit corporation loans to construct or buy bins, according to Scott Horn, chairman, agricultural stabilization and conservation county committee. In Kosciusko county farm storage facility loans totaling $54,454 were made to farmers thus far this year. The storage capacity represented by the loans total approximately 90,000 bushel. Several loans for extensive drying equipment have also been requested and approved by the county committee. By constructing additional onfarm storage, farmers will be in position to hold extra large crops off the market during the harvesting season, thus providing more stabilized market and price conditions. At the same time, the CCC loans on the stored crops will give the farmer an immediate return from his crop and. possibly, a higher price in the future when supplies being marketed have leveled off from the seasonal peaks. Nationally, CCC farm storage facility loans during the eight months period (January 1. 1968 through August 1968) totaled 14,574 in the amount of $33.9 million for a storage capacity of 89,669,517 bushel. Thus, the bushel storage capacity on which facility loans have been made throughout the nation in 1968 is six times the storage capacity on which loans were made during the same period last year. Looking Up Class Meets In Bowman Home The Looking Up class of the Syracuse Church of the Brethren met November 2 in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Bowman.
