By GEORGIA BUSTER The summer season has begun, even if the weatherman does not agree. Plans are going ahead for boat races in the city park and other activities F in the Syracuse area. ' | The town officials are busy, too, with a new water program coming up. They plan to lay new and larger water lines and a new well. Os course as far as we know now there will be no Fourth of July (fireworks in. the city park this year which is going to be a big disappointment to a lot of people living in the area—and to a lot of children who have or see no other fireworks except the ones at the park. It seems as though it is not Dave Clark who is going to the national Boy Scout Jamboree in Idaio, but Bruce Neer, son of Mr;. Barbara McClure, and Jeff Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Miller. It is the 7th national jamboree, July 16 to 22, at Farragut State Park in Idaho. American Legion posts through, out Indiana have selected 927 outstaadijig high school students to participate in the Hoosier Boys’ State, running June 7-14 on the Indiana State university campus at Terre Haute. Dave Bushong, son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Bushong, was selected by the Wawasee Post 223 at Syracuse. The student assistant director of the dramatic performance at Indiana Central college, “The Man Who Came to Dinner”, is Dave Geible of r 4 Syracuse. He also had a leading rede in 'the college drama department’s decent production of “Inherit the Wind.” Dave’s sister, Katherine, was elected to Epsilon Sigma Alpha, senior honor society at Indiana Central. She received a prize of the history and English departments, a book.

Mrs. John Nyikos and her daughter did a really fine job of painting the NIPSCo window for Poppy Days for the American Legion Auxiliary. Part of the poem, “In Flanders Fields”, and the field showing the white crosses and red poppies and the golden anniversary of the American Legion appeared. In our window this week is an Apollo 10 display, a replica of the spaceship and photographs of the three astronauts. We thought this quite fitting since everyone has been interested in “the moon shot” the past week. Mr. and Mrs. Owen Gertsch, who have just returned from Tampa, Fla., visited their son, George C. Dill, who is at Cape Kennedy as public relations man for Pan-American Airways. Mr. Dill took his parents on a tour of Cape Kennedy and they were allowed to get pictures of the buildings and grounds. Mrs. David Stoops is the* new secretary at Saint Andrew’s United Methodist church. She is in her office on Saturday mornings at present. The Luther League of Grace Lutheran church held a garage sale last week end and from the look of items for sale they did real well. There will be a parade at Syracuse on Memorial Day. It is hoped all citizens will take a half hour or so to be on the uptown streets to watch the parade. With the Viet Nam war not over and young men still being sent there, I think it is the least one can do, to give a little of his time to honor the servicemen who gave their lives that we may have a true democracy. JUNE 1 MEETING AT QUAKER HAVEN The service at Quaker Haven on June 1 will be conducted by the Quaker men from the Indiana Yearly Meeting. House bill wants planes to carry beacons.
