i ■ /. jutted '■* v The little town of Leesourg sure knows how to treat a retired town employee. Townsmen of that community turned out 130-strong last Thursday night to fete likeable retiring town marshal and street commissioner Hugh McCann, much better known as “Pick.” A native of that town (born February 18, 190 D, “Pick” retired after 12 years of faithful service to his home community, and is going to “just! take it easy until spring.” He will draw the customary social security, he says, then in the spring go to work on a part time basis for Leesburg Lumber Co. to earn his $1,600-odd dollars allowed under SS. Credit for the “retirement party” for McCann should go to efficient Mrs. 7 James (Millie) Engle, president of the town’s

Merchants’ Association, who marshalled her group of fellow merchants, firemen and town board members for the potluck in the town’s fire station. For the party they had to clear the fire station, including the new $25,000 Plain township fire truck, to make way for tables. Old basketball fans of that community will remember two other McCann boys who cut their figure in high school basketball, both brothers to Hugh. They were Heber and Wayne. Heber went on to distinguish himself on the hardwood at Manchester college. # * * From our mail bag comes a letter from Professor Goran Rystad, of the history department, University of Lund, 223 50 Lund, Sweden, concerning a study he is doing on public opinion, politics and propaganda in Indiana in the campaign and election of 1900. The contest of his study is of the inter-relationship between foreign policy and domestic politics in the United States at the turn of the century. Professor Rystad writes that the Democratic party tried hard in 1900 to make “imperialism” the paramount issue in the Presidential election. He is inquiring into old files of The Milford Mail and

Syracuse-Wawasee Journal (or was it The Register in 1900?) to find out how this issue was formulated and what it meant at the grass root level. He writes Indiana was a pivotal state in that election, one of the reasons why he is making a case study of the pre-conven-tion campaign here. He states, further, that there are some very interesting local variations and differences in opinion in Indiana, generally in the attitude towards the issue of "expansion,” more specifically noticeable in the reactions to the controversial Puerto Rican tariff bill in February-March 1900. The professor has been able to establish the stand taken on these issues of a considerable number of local Indiana newspapers, but it is important that his study of the state’s news media be as complete as possible. We happen to know the woods is full of local “historians”, who cculd address themselves to this burning 1900 campaign. If so, we are more than happy to furnish the full address of Professor Rystad that they may communicate directly with him. * * * The proposed shopping center

ers appeared to be having great fun Sunday afternoon when their bus broke down at Wanatah. Ind., but they didn’t realize it at the time. They were aboard the bus owned by the Wawasee Warriors Drum and Bugle Corps, en route home from a bowling tournament at DeMotte, Ind. When the bus brcke down, a wrecker pushed it three miles into Wanatah, where they persuaded a tower operator to flag down a Pennsylvania railroad passenger train. It was the first time a passenger train had stopped in Wanatah for 20-25» years. Os the 37 bowling enthusiasts, only 19 boarded the train, others finding other means home. There was a case where several wives made the trip to Wanatah to rescue their stranded husbands, only to find they were aboard the train and were safely home when they (the wives) arrived at Wanatah. This didn’t exactly cement relations on the home front, one of them commented. • ♦ » Reuben Williams forfeited $lO bond for improper driving: The (Fla.)
