Sb wHBj I .. V 4sW / _J It appears times haven’t changed much, after all. Eldred Mabie of The Star Store in uptown Syracuse was ramsacking a drawer in his old rolltop desk the other day and ran across an amusing little dittie dated March 1, 1932. We pass it along: Syracuse, Indiana March 1, 1932 Dear Sir and Friends: I beg to inform you that the present shattered condition of my bank account makes it impossible for me to write many checks at this time. This deplorable state of nay present financial condition is due to the effects of the Federal Laws, County Laws, Corporation Laws, By-Laws, Brothers-in-Law, Mothers-in-Law, Sisters-in-Law, and Outlaws, that have been floated upon as unsuspecting public. Through the various laws, I have been held down, held up, walked on, set on, sandbagged, flattened and squeezed until I do not know where I am, what I am, whom I am, or why I am. These laws compel me to pay a merchant tax, real estate tax, capitol stock tax, excess profit tax, income tax, state auto tax, city auto tax, gas tax, water tax, light tax, amusement tax, cigar tax, cigarette tax, street tax, surtax, and carpet tacks. In addition to paying these taxes I am requested and required to contribute to every society and organization that the inventive mind of man can or-

A., the Boy Scouts, the Jewish Relief, the Near East Relief, the Gold Diggers Home, the Red Cross, the Black Cross, the Purple Cross, and the Double Cross. The Government has so governed my business that I do not know who owns it. I am suspected, expected, inspected, disrespected, examined, re-examined, informed, required, commanded and compelled until all I know is that I am supposed to produce an inexhaustible supply of money for every known need, desire or hope of the human race, and because I refuse to donate all I have and go out and beg, borrow, or steal money to give away, I am cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed until I am nearly ruined, and the only reason I am clinging on to life is to see what the H*l is coming next. Sincerely, BROAD RIPPLE • * ♦ Wawasee high school fine arts director Varner Chance believes history is more than names, dates and places. He believes history is a conglomerate of the times—names, dates and places, to be sure, but also music, customs, art, dress, food, to name a few. With this broad historical view, he is spearheading an interdisciplinary study of the late 18th and early 19th century England, to be held in the school commons on December 16, 18 and 19. Besides getting a meal of the /period, prepared by the school cafeteria staff, it will be served by students wearing period garments, and eaten to the tune of period music. Tickets are now on sale for the unique undertaking. You’ll want to get yours early. We predict a sell-

out. This lofty approach to history merits a doffing of our tattered Fedora. The North Webster American Legion Auxiliary Unit 253, under president Elinore Enyeart, will present to Wawasee high school 30 American flags for individual rooms. Mrs. Enyeart said her Auxiliary had the full cooperation of Backwater Friends, Home Demonstration club, Junior Jaycees, Lions, and a local sorority group. ’* * * The newly re-organized Wawasee Boosters, Inc., has several things in the hopper to raise additional funds. They are looking to revenue from the interdisciplinary study (see above) for a healthy boost. Another thing soon to be announced is a basketball game between the WOWO radio staff of Fort Wayne and Wawasee high school teachers. They plan this as one of the first events in the new 3,400-seat WHS gym. With a little push on ticket sales, this event could produce $2,000 in revenue. Guidance teacher Maxine Robinson is getting around with the aid of crutches. Is there an untold story here? * # * A thrilling Associated Press story appeared in the South Bend Tribune November 26 by former AP correspondent William H. Hippie, concerning his revisiting the embattled Pacific Island of Tarawa in the Gilbert Island chain. He made the trip on the 25th anniversary of taking the island by U. S. marines in November 1943 with retired Marine commandant and Medal of Honor winner Gen. David M. Shoup, a Colonel at the time of that well publicized action, which cost 5,800 lives.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1968

In his story correspondent Hippie writes of flying over Tarawa from Kwajalein in a C-130 Hercules turboprop flown by Maj. Marvin Mann of Goshen, Ind. The connection here is that Maj. Mann is a nephew of Dorothy Frauhiger of Kale Island, Lake Wawasee. * * • Who are Bradley’s Braves? They are a very important part of the WHS cheer block, organized by distributive education teacher Don Bradley. It’s something to watch them in action. * * * Pierceton high school principal Richard V. Reed was almost certain to be a shoo-in for a position on the Indiana High School Athletic Association board of controls, until it was discovered his application failed to reach the Indianapolis IHSSA office in time. He was seeking the principal’s post for Section 2, Class 2, and was the only principal whose name was entered, so he thought. With principals voting, it appeared Reed would be a sure thing. He mailed his application in nearly a month before the deadline, but the application never turned up at Indianapolis. Reed expressed disappointment, but it’s a good bet he’ll make application in four years when the post is vacated again. * * ♦ Ross Osborn, Syracuse businessman, has been home from the hospital about a week and is seen making the rounds. Ross admits an auto accident he had on road 30 near the town of Pierceton at mid-summer slowed him down a little, but he reports feeling much better now. Week end visitors in the Earl Treadway home at Syracuse were Mr. and Mrs. William H. Myers of Princeton, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Moore, Mishawaka, and Mr. and Mrs. Victor Veschenko and son of Syracuse.
