‘G3JZInJvS AROUND / Within a week or ten days the new mobile home supply company, to be named the B & L of Indiana, is expected to begin operation. Another new factory for Syracuse. The company manager will be Hal Thornten of Elkhart and managing the office will be pretty Joan Graber of Syracuse. To begin with, the firm will start as a fledgling, but great things are expected. The plant is located just west of the new Vega Hemes plant, in the west part of town. * * e Penalties for skipping school at the new Wawasee high school are rough. Last Wednesday five students decided to take the day off t 6 “go fishing.” When they returned on Thursday they were told by headmaster Henry Smith that they would be on a 11-day suspension from all classes and activities. ❖ $ $ There’s a big cry in Syracuse at the present time for annexation of outlying areas. Have you heard it? This comes up frequently, then is met with abusive arguments about annexation causing higher taxes in the areas being annexed. Perhaps this is true, but these areas are now receiving such services as police .and fire protection and should be willing to join into annexation. Let us know what you think about this matter. Dr. Herschell R. Coil, Syracuse optometrist, recalls the time he and two others made a trip, via boat, to Hawaii. The year was ISI4, when Hawaii was inhabitated by Hawaiians and not American tourists. He said he had just finished college at Kansas City, and went to the west coast to take the state exams. He said the trip for the three was about S4OO. $ ❖ * My, how time flies! Do you realize it was a year ago March 17 that Kenneth Willard, Jr., was killed in Viet Nam? His death occurred about two weeks after another Syracuse soldier, Robert Ellis, was killed in Viet Nam. Final rites for the 21-year-old Willard youth were held at the Saint Andrew’s United Methodist church on March 28, with full military serviced at the Syracuse cemetery. « * * Old printer J. B. Cox is reported to be feeling much improved and comes to his uptown printing office for a short time each day, but has not been able to do any work. It’s good to know he’s on his road to recovery. A local garage had an unfortunate thing happen recently when a car, left on the grease rack’ overnight, fell off, doing surprisingly little damage to the car.

(Ted) Tytler have a large map of the United States in the stairway to their apartment over Mock’s Marina with colored .string marking the trips they have taken to the western states. An aviation buff, R. C., who is product engineering director for Zimmer Mfg. Co. in Warsaw, flies a Cessna 172 and make hedge-hop-ping sojourns to points of interest in the west.

There it is, ladies, a real readymade program for your next meeting. Dr. and Mrs. Jack Clark are all excited about the new home they are building on Dewart Lake. Is Syracuse to have fireworks another year or not? This was taken up before the S-W chamber of commerce at its meeting last Thursday night, but no decision was made. Some feel fireworks are to costly, others think its almost traditional by now and should be continued. What do you think? If you have an opinion on the matter, pass it along to c of c president Jay Peffley.

New Salem By MR& RAY FERVERDA DENNIS SHIVEjLY GIVES TALK Dennis Shively gave a very interesting talk on Sunday evening at New Salem as he told of his work last summer at Green Oaks boys’ camp, controlled by Union Rescue Mission with headquarters in Los Angeles, Calif. The camp was located in a desert in southern California, plO miles from any city. This was one of 44 Christian boys’ camps. The purpose of the camps was to reach boys 10 to 15 years of age. They were boys from the cities who had never gone camping or lived in the country. They were boys who had nothing to do. Different boys would go to the camp each week. They lived in tent like huts and were able to participate in many activities • hikes, nature study, hand craft, all kinds of sports and had Bible study each morning and evening. Dennis had charge of the small zoo of 30 animals. He tamed many of the animals so the boys could pet them. There were snakes they could hold and wrap around themselves. They killed many rattle snakes on their hikes. The camps receive over $3 million each year in gifts to run on. When the boys return home pastors of churches are given their names and the councilors keep in touch for several weeks. There are also camps for men too. These were alcoholic and gamblers. There was Bible study for men too. The workers received very little pay as this was their mis-
