K- " *f flk * JK COUSINS SERVE AS PAGES — Rita Tobias and Karri Augsburger, granddaughters of State Senator John F. Augsburger of Milford, recently served as pages in the State Senate. Both girls are students at Milford, Rita being a sixth grader and Karri a fifth grader. Rita is the daughter of Mrs. Carolyn Curtis and Kerri is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Augsburger.

tRJZINjO AROUND T .OCTO The Methodist Thrift Shop lost a mighty, loyal booster with the recent passing of Mrs. Minnie Brinkman, who spent countless hours during the past seven years working for this volunteer organization. Often referred to as the “right arm’* of the shop, she will be missed by patrons of the shop as well as by her fellow committee members. « « » Did you know that Syracuse has its own “Little Red Riding Hood?” She is also known as Mrs. Jerry (Julie) Rhodes of North Webster, who ably assists in the Huntington building office of Dr. Wendel Shank—in between trips around town in her pretty “Red Riding Hood” outfit—cape, hood and all! ♦ * * Our vote for the “Happiest Man of the Year” would go to E. L. "Doc” Fosbrink—who at long last has a boy in the family! Pretty daughter Susan and husband Dave West presented Fos and Mary Lib with a nine pound, 14% ounce grandson on February 13, and he’s hardly come down from the clouds since. The big boy, Scott Allen, has dark auburn hair, while little sister Diane is a reddish blonde. Our congratulations too, Doc! * * * Unusual Happenings Department: When all three Syracuse area golf club owners found themselves at the same sunny south golf club recently—The

Floridan Country club at Howie of the Hills near Orlando. The three were Jim Connolly of South Shore, Don Byrd of Wawasee, and Merl Smith of Maxwelton. Good sports all, the trio got a kick out of the accidental meeting. • « « Jack (Spider) Marlette, popular guidance teacher and golf coach at Wawasee high school, and his attractive wife Barbara celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary recently. Former residents of Flint, Mich., the Marlettes have four children, with Jim, the youngest, a freshman at Wawasee. ♦ * ♦ Now that basketball season is over, we will miss watching (and hearing) the antics of Mrs. Paul (Betty) Elliott and her adult cheering section—a group of loyal Wawasee fans who deeply resented unfavorable referee decisions, and who didn’t hesitate to make their views known! See you next year, gals! * * * Mrs. Dennis (Anita) Bjella, friendly clerk at the front counter in Thornburgs, wins our nomination for one of the most accommodating gals around. Nothing is too much trouble tor Anita, if she can help a custonrcr, which is sure good public relations for “Ye Olde Drug Store.” •♦ • > Word comes from Jimmy and Mildred Oneal, summertime Wawasee residents living in Pasa- . dena, that they were spared most of the damage from the California rains and floods at their beach cottage, but that it was still a very upsetting experience. Health-wise they are both feeling well, and already counting the days until they can return to their "Indiana Home”. * ♦ » Pert little red-headed Kathy (Dorsey) Carlson is the newest secretarial addition in the law

offices of Reed and Hearn. Kathy is keeping the home fires burning while busband Steve serves his stint with Uncle Sam’s army, taking his basic training at Fort Knox, Ky. ♦ * • It is good to see the Mike Mignery family back—they left our fair community in the fall to make their heme in Florida, but apparently decided they were Hoosiers at heart and returned about a month ago. From all reports their youngsters, Pat, a Wawasee freshman, ard Cindy, are especially glad to be back. » * ♦ We had a preview the other day of the trophy which is to be presented to the Wawasee high school to become the permanent golf trophy in memory of Bob Ellis, Syracuse serviceman who gave his life for his country a year ago in Viet Nam. Donated by a local businessman, the trophy is a real beauty, and will be inscribed each year with the name of the outstanding golfer for the year. Bob won a similar award himself both years that he competed on the Syracuse high school golf team. * • ♦ Sunday morning breakfast at church? A good idea when the proceeds go to a worthy cause, as they did recently when members of the Adult Fellowship class of the Saint Andrew’s United Methodist church put on a benefit breakfast for a little three-year-old girl in a tuberculosis hospital in Haiti. Starring as the scrambled egg chefs were John Caple and Gene Hall, with energetic “Sid” Turner as chief organizer of the affair. * * * If you have wondered about the where-abouts of Hazel Rodgers, longtime cashier at Klink’s supermarket, we discovered that she has retired and is now living with her daughter and family in West Virginia. We miss her! « S «S New Youth Center Director Tom Kitch leads a busy life these days—sometimes meeting himself coming around corners. Besides his full-time position on the Syracuse police force and his newly acquired job as Youth Center director, Tom is an active member of the Indiana National Guard, and is presently undergoing training in the guard officer candidate program one week end a month at Camp Atterbury. * * * Speaking of the youth centerword has it that their next big project will be the black-top-

ping of the parking area around the building, which in recent days has either been a sea of mud or deep lake of water. This will be a very welcome improvement, and will provide the basis for more outdoor activities when summertime rolls around. s * * Although no formal announcement has been made, it is true that Mary Bushong, former owner of the Bushong Beauty Salon, is now enjoying “semi-retire-ment”. This marks the end of an era for the charming beautician, wife of Syracuse postmaster Ernest Bushong, who has been active in her profession for over 40 years—beginning in the home of her father-in-law on Lake street. During the 1930’5, Mary worked in a shop over the Syracuse Bank building, later moving to her own place on east Pearl street, just off Huntington. In 1962, Mary moved to a brand new shop in the newly completed Huntington building, and it was here that she turned the keys of her beloved salon over to beautician Ruth Pounds. Best wishes, Mary, in your retirement days! Business is really booming for Clair Mohler and John Searfoss of the recently formed C & J Construction Company. Reports have it that the boys are getting booked up pretty solid, so our advice would be to get your orders in pronto before the spring rush really begins! ♦ ♦ » It was hail and farewell last week for the State Assembly Women’s club members, as they attended their last event, a luncheon, during this General Assembly. Outgoing president Mrs. John (Lois) Coppes, Nappanee and Wawasee resident, handed the gavel over to Mrs. Robert Fair of Princeton, the new president of the group composed of wives of members of the General Assembly. ♦ ♦ ♦ With so many stories in the news lately about irresponsible

teenagers, it was refreshing to hear of one who does think of others—namely Doug Byland of Lake Wawasee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Byland. Doug took the trouble to call a friend about a lost dog one day last week, thus re-uniting seven-year-old Scotty Jones with his dog “Tippy”, who had been missing for two days. A simple thing, yes, but nice to hear! * => * According to Mrs. A. W. Kirkman of Michigan City, who is chairman of the safety division of the public affairs department of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, “Man is the key to accident control. The safest cars, the safest highways, the best laws will not significantly decrease fatalities. Accidents are ‘people’ problems—we need to improve quality of the drivers, to weed out those with emotional problems, who cause a high percentage of accidents, and to crack down severely on drunken drivers.” She suggests that we could observe this “Prayer for Safety” to make our nation a safer one: “Where there is discourtesy and carelessness, let me bring concern . . . Where there is disregard for human life, let me bring a sense of moral responsibility. I am only one, O' Lord, but I am one. Use me to bring Thy safety to my community, my city and my country. NORTH WEBSTER LEGIONNAIRES TO HAVE PARTY There will be an anniversary party of the 50th birthday of the American Legion at the North Webster American Legion, Herbert Kuhn Post No. 253, on the evening of March 15, (Saturday).
