Residents of the Lakeland area will have an opportunity to do a good deed right at home, where it will be felt, and where they can see their effort at work. The Leesburg Merchants Association, headed by Mrs. Jaimes (Millie) Engle, have set themselves the ambitious task of raising $6,000 for the purchase of a blood purifying machine for Mrs. Norman Hunsberger, 24, who resides in Jefferson township west of Milford. She was the former Nancy Yocum, of Leesburg, and the mother of two children; Nick, 314, and Ned, 1. Last August Nancy suffered a malfunction of both her kidneys and has been a patient at the Cleveland Clinic since that time where she receives treatment two times a week. Her husband is receiving training at the Clinic on the operation of a kidney machine, so he will be able to run it once it has been purchased. Mrs. Engle said this week her group is planning on county-wide participation in its effort to raise the $6,000. In Syracuse Jean Rogers and Georgia Buster have consented to put bottles in business houses, properly marked that local people can help. In Milford several ladies have consented to do likewise, and the Milford bank has consented to receive money for this purpose. There is no middleman here: The money you give will go directly toward sustaining life for this fine young lady of our community. * * * Speaking of causes, Wawasee golf pro-owner Don Byrd is seeking to set up a memorial fund for Robert Ellis, Syracuse young man who was one of the two community’s Viet Nam Casualties. Ellis worked at Wawasee golf club in the summers when he went to Syracuse high. He died at Chu Chi on February 29, 1968. Don writes in a letter to friends: So far there are two major things planned for the memorial fund: 1. A permanent trophy to be presented to the Wawasee high school in memory of Bob. Each

year the outstanding golfer of the school for the year will have his name inscribed on the trophy. Bob won this award himself both years he competed on the golf team, and, 2. The remainder of the money will go into an annual scholarship fund which has already been started by Bob’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Ellis. * s * Look for Wawasee Village to have an equipment rental business open in the near future. Don Baumgardt has purchased the Wawasee Drive-In and will convert it into such a business soon. * * Ray Yoder of the Frog and his fcrmer partner, Ernie Miller, arc basking in the sun at Acapulco, Mexico. * # « And Paul Levernier, home from a hurry-up 10-day trip to Florida and Key West, reported “poor fishing.” His wry comment about Key West: “A lot of nothing.” ❖ $ “There’s no truth to the rumor that Wawasee Bowl has been sold:” Joe Morganthaler. s * » Who was the Syracuse Florence Nightengale who passed Dr. Jack Clark’s office early last Sunday morning to see a light “in surgery,” and stopped to help dress the head and finger wound of Joe Hughes who had earlier been in an altercation in Louie’s Tavern with an intruder? s $ * Ex-Elkhart county commissioner Warren Shively viewed an error in this column last week with more significance than most of us would have. It stated he was defeated for re-election last November, when actually it was in the primary election on May 5. Why the alarm? Easy: If he had been defeated in November, it would have been by a Democrat; if in May, it was by a Republican. To Shively, ever the GOP stalwart, this borders on sedition. Shively was defeated in May by likeable Tom Romberger of Elkhart who used the Peanuts cartoon characters in his newspaper ads. Shively had proposed a new county building at Dunlap, thus alienating both Elkhart and Goshen, he said. * * * Syracuse laker and United Telephone Co. official, and former member of the Wa-Nee school board LaMar Stoops, speaking on the subject of school consolidation, made this comment: “A man has two sensitive

nerves—his pocketbook and his children—l’ve found.” * * * Mr. and Mrs. Charles Searfoss are now moved into their new farm home near Dewart Lake, and they are in the process of selling their former home, located southwest of Syracuse, to Wawasee high school football coach and Mrs. Don Storey. The Storeys are now living in a mobile home south of Milford. J ♦ * ♦ Speaking before a group of Hoosier educators at Minelli’s Bungalow Gardens last Wednesday noon, Fairfield community school corporation superintendent Lloyd Harrell said, "A baseball player will never steal second as long as he keeps a foot on first.” * « * If you’re sitting in the Wawasee high school gym tonight watching the WOWO-faculty benefit game, staged to raise funds for Wawasee Boosters, Inc., give credit to Fred Willi of Chicago, erector of the gym bleachers for Northwest Installation Co. The upstairs bleachers arrived Saturday morning and were unloaded at noon. Then, on Sunday Willi showed up with his two helpers Herb Wright and Jerald Teeter of Warsaw to erect the bleachers for tonight’s game. Helping them were Bill Maguire, superintendent of plant construction for contractors W. A. Sheets & Sons of Fort Wayne, and his son Danny, who is a senior at Fairfield high school. Bill and son Danny deserve credit for work “beyond the call of duty.” Junior Merry Maidens Have Meeting By Alice Gunden The Milford Junior Merry Maidens 4-H club held their second meeting on January 15.
