Dome Cars Are Coming Back; Schedule Given
The dome cars are coming back! Strata-dome cars on Baltimore and Ohio passenger trains serving Syracuse, in service from 1949 until midsummer of 1968, will be back beginning the week end of May 25, B&O officials have announced. - The cars, with glass-enclosed observation compartments high above normal window level, were removed from service on thd B&O Capitol Limited through Syracuse last summer when their condition was such that it was impossible to run them on daily schedules. Earlier in 1968, both of the dome cars had been remodeled to provide snack bar service in the "Iron Horse Tavern” areas under the domes. When the cars were removed from service, they were run in the B&O’s "Cincinnatian” trains between Cincinnati and Detroit—but the frequency of service there was such that cars were “on the line” much less than on the Washington-Chicago run, and overhauling was possible. Schedules The B&O has also adopted summer schedules for its trains through Syracuse. The Capitol Limited, Washington - Chicago, stops here. eastbound at 6:59 p. m. local time (no change). The westbound run stops at Syracuse at 7:16 a.m. (10 minutes earlier.) Other trains serving the community are the eastbound Gateway (Chicago-Pittsburgh) at 1:34 p.m., and the westbound Diplomat (Washington-Chicago) at 2:35 p. m. The Capitol Limited offers full coach, dining, lounge and the new B&O Starlight Sleeper service. For overnight passengers, meals are on the house for persons with bedroom or roomette reservations, according to D. W. Casey, local B&O agent. The Capitol Limited trains are popular eastbound for persons from this area going to Fostoria, Akron, Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Connellsville, Meyersdale, "Cumberland, Mar? tinsburg, Harpers Ferry and Washington, and well as connecting points to the east. Westbound they provide morning-in (Chicago arrival at 9:10 a.m.) and eve-ning-out (leaving Chicago at 3:40 p.m.) service. The B&O trains in Chicago are expected to move to the Northwestern Station, Canal and Madison streets, in late 1969 or early 1970 when Grand Central Station, current terminal at Harrison and Wells Streets, is abandoned to make way for & south-loop downtown improvement program. Grand Central Station was constructed in 1891 and is one of three stations at the south side of the loop scheduled fbr ultimate demolition. Patricia Mullins Weds Le Roy Liggett Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J.

AROUND A large new addition is going onto the east end of Marise’s Tcwn and Lake Shop in Wawas?e Village, giving them 1,600 mere square feet, or 4,000 square feet in all. Gene and Marise Smith, owners. are thus adding 1,200 square feet 7 of selling area to their popular store. Look for a new store front on Tom Socks Sportswear, also in Wawasee Village. Joe Todd, explaining that this year’s fireworks will be held on Wawasee Lake and will be July 3, sensed some opposition when he gave the word to the chamber of commerce last Thursday. Quick to recover, Joe said, “Well, as late as it gets dark now, it’ll be July 4th before they are over!” Now thanks to Faye Wong, a copy of The M-J goes this week to Hong Kong. Receiving the paper are Mr. and Mrs. Peter Pang, A2O, Crystal Court, Man Wan Road, Waterlca Hill, Kowloon, Heng Kong. Over LOCO attended the first Wawasee high school sports banquet last Wednesday night at the new school. Noting that deposed Abe Fortas drives a silver colored Rolls Royce, fellow attorney Seth Ward, who drives a silver Lincoln, claims the former Supreme Court justice “copied after me.” Mrs. Kenneth (Kathryn) Knisley, r 2 Syracuse, said she was heartened by the response she received from her Letter To The Editor in last week’s M-J. Through some inadvertent error her name was left off the letter which she had signed in accordance with M-J policy. The letter- scored Syracuse post office personnel for destroying letters she sent out for the Syracuse alumni associa* , tion for the forthcoming alumni banquet. Syracuse uptown merchants are indignant over a new policy of the tcwn board to police the uptown parking meters. According to Eldred Mabie, owner of The Star Store, a petition is being circulated to have the meters removed. He said uptown merchants suffered a 25 ° per cent drop in business the first week meters were policed. >:•■ * e Lake area marinas are gearing up for a bumper season.

Memorial Day week end signals the beginning of the season each year. Marine business is expanding by leaps and bounds, and is a real economic shot in the arm for this area. $ $ Bob Seward, Wilson sporting equipment representative in this area, was seen dining with worldfamous woman golf pro Patty Berg at the Kale Island Beacon last Thursday night. Patty, a real golfer and entertainer on the course, appeared at Maxwelton golf course Thursday afternoon. Readers of The M-J, if they will direct their attention to this week's graduation section, will note a new idea developed by the paper’s art department. Page 1 is complete with information concerning baccalaureate, commencement and other pertinent school year end information. But from page 2 through 8 photos of the 177 graduates are arranged to spell out WAWASEE. You may have to lock a little, but it’s there. Clifford Byrd, the young man seen around Syracuse riding on the three-wheel Schwinn bicycle, passed the 1,000-mile mark on the vehicle’s speedometer this past week. Byrd was incapacitated in an auto accident near Cromwell on June 29, 1962, and has been riding the bicycle for therapeudic reasons. Imagine that, 1,000 miles on a bicycle! Isn’t that something? The pretty new face at First Charter Insurance Agency, above the bank, is Mrs. Byron (Sally) Galloway, of 718 South Main, Syracuse. Her husband, an employee at Sea Nymph, returned a year ago from duty in Viet Nam. $ ❖ Three youths, seniors at Wawasee Prep, presented The Mail-Journal with a handsome year book, named Cumque ’69, highlighting the year at the lakeside school.
