The newest thing in tne area seems to be a sno-mobile ski club, being formed at Wawasee golf course. The intricate little machines that propel themselves over hill and dale, preferably when there is snow on the ground, are catching on great guns. In Michigan, just to our north, land of winter sports, 400,000 of the machines have been sold, so we’re told. Don Byrd, pro-owner of Wawasee golf, has purchased a number of sno-mobiles and has marked off his golf course for a sno-mobile track, keeping the machines off the greens, of course. The course will be open all winter. If you want to hear more about them, better talk to Don or Ken Busselberg, his manager. J. Homer Shoop, North Webster bank executive and perennial tennis enthusiast, rated an item in the December issue of “Tennis U. S. A.’’, page 9, as follows: “The ‘SS’ men took the 55 doubles consolation (at Knoxville, Tenn.). Homer Shoop; North Webster, Ind., and Gene Short, Homo stead, Fla., overpowered Jack Bledsoe, Knoxville, and Dr. Arthur Levine, Port Washington, N. Y., 6-2, 6-2, for the victory.” The “SS” is for senior citizen, we learned. Thursday morning, however, found J. Homer in Los Angeles pursuing his favorite outdoor sport, but temporarily sidelined with the Hong Kong flu. He was jetting yet that day for Acapulco where he appears to recover more easily than in these more northern climes. * ♦ * Look for several double-wide homes to be built near the Oakwood Park entrance. ♦ ♦ Bill Jones is incorporating his real estate business as of the first of the year, with officers includ-

ing, besides himself, wife Jeanne, and Robert Reed. * * * Store window decorations have been late coming this year, particularly because of no snow in the area, but those that are decorated are beautiful. Note Love Furniture for one, NIPSCo for another. As usual there are any number of well lighted private homes, but one stands out among all, particularly because it’s so well located for public observance. That’s the home of Roy Sunday, just south of the Calvary United Methodist church in the Village. It is outlined in blue lights and the bushes are also decorated in blue bulbs. In all, there are nearly 1,000 lights used. * * ♦ The Syracuse Business and Professional Women’s club, organized May 25, 1937, is planning its third Civic Night in Syracuse and is making an accountability of monies received and spent through this endeavor, through its secretary, Ann Gallahan. Ann’s records show, the March 1967 show grossed $335.85 with $80.72 expenses, while the March 1968 show grossed $501.75 with $101.33 expenses. Net for 1967 was $255.13 and for 1968 it was $400.42, with a net for the two shows standing at $655.85. Here are pay outs: Youth Center, $335.85, April 1967; Water Safety Program, S2OO, June 1968; Safety Patrol trip to Chicago, $25 in 1967 and $25 in 1968; reflector tape for children’s bicycles, $19.38, April 1967; and to the scout cabin improvement fund, SSO, March 1967. Total pay out: $655.23, just 32 cents less than the $655.55 the B & PW took in at their two shows. Ann says the club’s bank balance now stands at $424.44, but that they have a time certificate at the bank which stood at $764.86 when she took office as secretary in June of 1966. It looks like the group is making money and returning it to the community. On to the next Civic Night in Syracuse, being planned for March of 1969. * * ♦ Look for a prominent Syracuse family to be leaving this community after this semester of school to assist in setting up the new manufacturing facility of The Weatherhead Company at

Sun Valley, Calif. Unilil this time Weatherhead has had only a warehouse at Glendale, Calif., but they are expanding this to a warehouse and manufacturing facility. This family, residing here since 1952, will be offering their brick home for sale. • * * Outdoor hunter-fisherman John Bowser of Wawasee Village is showing friends a large bear daw, as evidence of a big grizzlie he shot during a September hunting trip to Canada. He said Old Bruen had been in their camp, upsetting garbage cans among other misdemeanors during his night time forays, and that John and his trusty guide spotted the black menace high on a hill the next morning. John said he took aim and shot before the bear had a chance to attack. His comment: “Were those bear steaks good!” * • • Kosciusko county highway engineer Charles (“Chuck”) Cleveland readily admits he may be looking for a new job after the first of the year. There will be a change in the complexion of the county board of commissioners after January 1 when newly elected commissioner Maurice Dorsey of the SyracuseNorth Webster community replaces Ray Ferverda of the New Salem community. Cleveland says he needs at least two commissioners who think he’s doing a good job, then he will be retained for another year. Chuck and his wife Kate and children are leaving for West Palm Beach, Fla., on December 23 for a two-week vacation trip. v* * * * The new Kosciusko county REMC building in Warsaw/reported to be one of the nicest buildings in the county, is nearing completion, according to assistant manager Robert Merkle. The first meeting in the new building will be held tonight (Wednesday) for directors, former directors, and employees. The 11,000 square foot building will have a parking lot to accommodate 140150 cars, and open house will be held late in February or early March, Merkle states.

Sunday's Christian Science Lesson Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.” These words from the first book of Chronicles are part of the Bible Lesson - Sermon titled “Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?” to be read in all Christian Science churches this Sunday. The following passage is from those to be read from the denominational textbook: “In the material world,, thought has brought to light with great rapidity many useful wonders. With like activity have thought’s swift pinions been rising towards the realm of the real, to the spiritual cause of those lower things which give impulse to inquiry. Belief in a material which may be deduced all rationality, is slowly yielding to the idea of a metaphysical basis, looking away from matter to Mind as the cause of every effect.” Relatives Attend Laudeman - Julian Wedding Mrs. Irvin Coy of Milford, Mr. and Mrs. Dale Sparklin of Syracuse lake, Mr. and Mrs. David Clem of Goshen, and Bruce Clem of Purdue attended the wedding of Mrs. Coy’s grandson, Max Alan Laudeman, to Janet Louise Julian of Logansport on Saturday.

Still No Solid Leads In Haab Murder Police in Indianapolis are continuing the investigation of the murder of 18-year-old Susan Beth Haab, Ball State co-ed who was murdered there recently. Miss Haab was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Haab of that city and the granddaughter of Mrs. Perry Haab of Milford. Police are working on the idea that the murderer may have been a stranger, rather than an acquaintance. No new theory has been produced and police have been unable to find three of the four bullets that were fired at Miss Haab early on December 3. The fourth bullet was removed from her body during the autopsy. Investigating officers have used metal detectors in an effort to recover all of the bullets, however, if they were fired as she ran they could have carried a considerable distance and would be found only by a stroke of hick. Presently police are having difficulty trying to untangle conflicting statements from witnesses as to whether she screamed “Please help me!” or “Please don’t hurt me!” just as she was shot. Nothing is being taken for granted as the Indianapolis officers are checking all leads, tips and ideas that are brought t( their attention.
