Fireworks Comments

Dear Editor: The Syracuse - Wawasee Chamber of Commerce wishes to anhounce that the annual fireworks display will be bald on Thursday, July 3, at dark from pontoons located on Wawasee ilake between Waco, Oakwood Park, and Wawasee Prep. The Cromwell fire department will also have its display on the same night from its traditional vantage point in the vicinity of Wawasee Plaza. (In the event of rain, the displays will be on Saturday, July 5.) i In answer to the many comments and some opposition, the Chamber of Commerce offers following explanations: (1) The cost of the annual fireworks display is approximately S3OO. This amount represents almost one half of the Chamber’s annual budget. It was felt that this amount of money could be more wisely spent. Therefore, the Chamber was not interested in sponsoring the fireworks again this year. However, a committee of three men from the Chamber volunteered to raise the funds for the fireworks, if the Chamber would donate $200., which it did. The committee was then faced with the task of raising the additional S6OO. (2) In order to obtain the necessary funds it was felt that, in addition to other reasons, a wider area of “patrons” be solicited. One of the means for greater participation was to relocate the fireworks display on Wawasee Lake. (3) The weed growth on Syracuse Lake and the difficulty of “navigating” under the railroad bridge (it is presently filling with sand and gravel from around its abuttments) makes boat traffic a problem. Also, having the display on the same night as the Cromwell Fire Department does not necessitate a “duplication of effort” on the

Can’t Believe

Dear Editor: I have read and re-read the article printed in your May- 21 issue, page four, “Syracuse Police To Answer Emergency Calls This Summer.’’ What was our town board members thinking of? I really can not make myself believe this decision. A college graduate surely knows every second counts in an emergency, net minutes or hours!

part of the Civil Defense units and the Conservation department. (4) It was felt that with the large tracts of land such as Oakwood Park, Wawasee Prep, old South Shore Hotel site, Waco, encompassing Wawasee Lake, a greater number of people could more easily view the display. (5> The action of the Chamber of Commerce in deciding to locate the fireworks on Lake Wawasee will not preempt interested parties from having a fireworks display on the 4th of July in Syracuse Park, as has been done in the past. Also, it has been brought to the attention of the Chamber by Mrs. Georgia Buster that the Syracuse Park Fund depends upon the revenue from concessions on the 4th. The committee has agreed to make a donation to the Park Fund from any excess funds collected. (6) The company from whom we have purchased the “show” has assured us that by having the display on Lake Wawasee on the same night as the Cromwell Fire Department, we will have one of the largest fireworks displays in Indiana. We, the Syracuse - Wawasee Chamber of Commerce, and more expecially the Fireworks Committee composed of Colonel Joseph Gray, Mr. Jack Nash, and Mr. Joe Todd, do hope that this “open letter” will serve to clarify this action taken regarding the annual fireworks display. Further, it is hoped that on the occasion of our historical “Independence Day” and its traditional display of “rockets” that all of us will pause to remember our Blessing of Freedom which this Holiday commemorates. Sincerely, Syracuse - Wawasee Chamber of Commerce Joseph K. Todd, Sr. Chairman of the Fireworks Committee

We have been fortunate to have such an efficient first-aid unit — tie their hands? Perhaps a fire run was made that was not necessary, but for goodness sakes — beter not need this service —than one life be lost because “Help’Nwaautelayed with such ridiculous reasoning! Please, dear citizen, speak up! Let’s not let this go through. We have been taken many times on very important issues but this

is something no one can surely agree with. Who pays for this much needed service? We do, don’t we? Think it over town board, one of you or your family may need the service of this first aid unit and seconds count!! Concerned — I am! L. E. Rogers P. S.

ies marked the pews. Nuptial selections which included “Trumpet Voluntary in D Major” and “Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring”, were provided by Miss Nancy Wismer, organist. A quartet, consisting of David R. Miller, Fred Schrock, David Lee Miller and Glen Gingerich, sang “O Per-
