AROUND • 7 I “This year’s Father’s Day Flotilla was one of the very best ever held, in spite of early bad weather Sunday morning and a choppy lake on the south end.” This statement came from Flotilla Commodore Robert Rule following the parade and just before presentation of the trophies ait the Q’s Waco site. Early Sunday morning it looked like there would be no Flotilla. The sky was heavily overcast and rain seemed persistent, but by late morning all was well again. At the starting point the water was smooth but became choppy at the south end. In fact, the Flotilla was turned back at Wawasee Plaza, proceeding to a point near Wawasee Prep, then cutting across the lake to the Waco where it ended. In all, there were 25 very fine entries, with a large houseboat float entered by Artistic Hairdressers of Nappanee receiving the Commodore’s Cup for the best overall entry. In the commercial-industrial class, first place went to another well decorated houseboat entered by the Frog Tavern. A band made this float come alive, and atop was 17-year-old Beth Clay, who just graduated from Warsaw high school, doing the Watusi (or something like that!). And aboard, of course, were newlyweds Ray and Lou Ann Yoder. Second place in this category went to Auer service station, and third to Augsburger’s IGA. In the organizational and residential class, first went to Judge Mike Kiley’s “Charlie Brown” float, second to the Wawasee Area Jaycees, and third to the Syracuse fire department. The Flotilla committee award for the best open class, went tc the North Webster Mermaid Festival float. Everyone appeared happy, even the judges each of whom received, a small hand-size trophy for their efforts. (Note: There just happened to be four left over.) Judges, incidentally, besides yours truly, included Ted Rogers, Bill Crimmins and Jay Peffley. * » * Seven-year-old Scott Arnold, son of Lakeland superintendent and Mrs. Don Arnold of Milford, placed a phone call with the editor of The M-J to correct a news item which appeared in this column last week. The item stated the superintendent and Mrs. Arnold and daughter Vickie would make a three-week motor trip through the western states. It made no mention of Scott. He thought this oversight deserved a correction, and so it does. Scott informed the editor he would most certainly make the trip with his parents and sister Vickie, and we hasten to amend this oversight with profuse apologies to young Scott.

And more, we’d like a report on his trip when he returns home. « ♦ • It appears very certain that Regent Mobile Homes, Syracuse, will erect a large building just east of the B & 0 Railroad station at the south edge of Syracuse. Actual construction awaits the arrival of the signed lease from the railroad. The building, to be on tlie site of the old Syracuse Coal Co., will be for receiving and storing lumber for Regent, and will have old hand Junior Coy in charge, with about 15 helpers. « # # If you haven’t visited Foo & Faye’s Cantonese restaurant this year, do so: First for the fine Chinese cuisine, and second to see the new oriental patio that is new this year. The whole thing is the idea of Faye Wong, and how artistic and attractive it is! It defies our description, so we urge you to see it for itself. * ♦ * Syracuse uptown barber George Bushong is truly the nemesis to the long hairs. He clipped another college boy rather close recently. He doesn’t do it intentionally, just has ambitious clippers. • * * Doris Wolferman, employed in the office of Wawasee high school last year, will not be back next year. She has accepted a secretarial position with a Warsaw factory, and will be replaced at WHS by Mrs. Jack (Janet) Elam. Doris worked at the principal’s office at Milford high school for seven years prior to her year at WHS. « * ♦ Paul Scott, North Webster developer, has purchased a home in Florida and is divesting himself of some of his hol dings in the North Webster community so as to spend more lime in the Sunshine State. Bis wife, employed in the North Webster post office for a number of years, has suffered ill health and feels much better in Florida. • * * Dr. Charles Hursh, a resident of Goshen and Syracuse Lake, is a hobbyist, and recently received his pilot’s instructor’s license. He has his plane at the Wawasee Airport and plans to give lessons this summer. Dr. and Mrs. Hursh, incidentally, are parents of Anita Hursh (now married) who was “Miss Indiana” and a participant in the “Miss America” contest at Atlantic City, N. J., several years ago. « « « Look for Tippecanoe lake to have their own Flotilla this year, to be held on Friday, July 4, with go getter Robert Maish in charge. * « « An avid viewer at the Saturday speedboat races on Syracuse Lake was John Nixon (and son Chris), summer resident at Syracuse Lake. John is publisher of tlje Peru (Ind.) Daily News and member of the Wawaree Yacht club. ♦ * * In the rush of news it was almost overlooked that Rev. August Lundquist, pastor of the Saint Andrew’s United. Methodist church, was returned to his charge here at the annual church conference. ♦ * * Mr. and Mrs, Ronald Sharp and two sons arrived in England on Monday, June 9, on their conducted tour of England. * • • Dr. Herschel Coll, Syracuse optometrist, is not about to retire, in spite of what you may have heard.
