Fosbrink of Syracuse. It, was sent to the Fosbrinks by Horace and Dorothy Gcttschalk former Syracuse residents now living in Scottsdale, Ariz. “It takes some homespun news to make up a small town newspaper. “A Phoenix resident, H. L. Bachman, spotted this in the Milford (Indiana) Mail-Journal, his old home town paper: “ ‘Mrs. Ernest (Emma Clayton) Krauter has a hobby that’s unusual and interesting. She likes to make noodles. “ ‘She likes to make them so well that she’ll do it for nothing. All you have to do is take her the eggs and flour.’ “As an old noodle lover, I’m sorry she’s so far away.” We thank the Fosbrinks for the article. I’ll never get over the fact that the column I write for Our Town is read by so many people in so many other towns. ® s> s> If you stop at Brooks Auto H
