Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER Last April 24 we had snow and down to 32 degrees. Now I hear the worst snowstorm of the season is predicted for the last of the month. I have potatoes and peas planted, so may have to get an electric blanket for them. « ® <s The yard at the Floyd Brower home on west Pearl street, in back of the post office, is so pretty with purple, white, and yellow crocuses and grape hyacinths. Floyd has mowed part of his yard and after the crocuses there will be more spring flowers, then summer ones. $ $ Ron Hertenstein, son of Rev. and Mrs. Theodore Hertenstein, injured both eyes recently when a bicycle tire blew up while he was putting air in it. He was taken to a local physician where medicine was put in his eyes to remove particles. Ask Ron how it feels to be blind for one day. He had both eyes bandaged that long. His eyes are all right now. This week end .we will have some pictures in the window here at the office. , These are pictures that have been brought in—wedding and engagement, that have not been called for and we have no name and address to send them out. If any of them belong to you or a member of your family, please come in for its s $ ♦ * Seems our restaurants ’ are making changes for the summer. Mrs. Hocker, who has been at the Syracuse Case, has gone to Jeannie’s Kitchenette; Mrs. Agnes Stiffler, who was employed at the Syracuse Case for several years, then retired, is back as salad girl. The Wawasee Case, just can’t make up its mind. It is open for a day or so, then closed for a week. I hear its between them and the board of health. $ s $ Little bird tells me that a Pizza Parlor may locate where Doc’s Shoe Repair formerly was in the Pickwick building. Doc moved next door; also that a recreation center will be in the building formerly occupied by the Burkholder Drug Store. This is all in the gossip stage, but we would like to see the vacant buildings in Syracuse with a going business in them. * s Rev. Ralph Wagoner and his family will be leaving Syracuse in August. Rev. Wagoner is pastor of the Church of the Brethren here. He and his family will be missed. They have been here a number of years and have been such good

workers. They have become so much a part of the community, not only with their own members, but all with whom they come in contact, it’s hard to think of them not being here. I believe they are going to Hagerstown. We wish them the best of luck and all our good wishes. « ♦ ■» « Again the Civic Night in Syracuse sponsored by the Business and Professional Women’s, chib was a success. The money received from denations and the sale of tickets will be used for community projects. The plans are to make this an annual affair and plans are being made now for the next one. <1 $ D The Lakeland Youth Center is getting ready for its summer season. Tom Kitch, the director, has another assistant, Doug Miller, and dance bands have been booked for some good times. $ $ # The Turkey Creek Senior Citizens will have a dinner honoring the Syracuse firemen next week. It is hoped all will attend and no one gets careless with a trash fire, so the firemen can enjoy their dinner and program which will follow. » e s Now that Easter is over and the summer tourists coming, let’s all drive carefully, especially on Sunday.
