Z ’ i-Self-styled “old soldier” Seth Ward resurrected this youthful photo of himself taken November 9, 1920, when he was a cadet at the U. S. Military Academy at West Point, N. Y. Ward entered the Academy in 1919 and spent two years there before leaving with a medical ** discharge in his hand. He said he then found the pursuance of law more to his liking. He will observe his 69th birthday with the usual party in his yard for a host of youngsters on September 1. He wants the word to go out that this year’s party will be the “biggest and best ever.” Two hole-in-ones were reported during the past week. On Maxwelton last Wednesday Gene Hall, playing with Dale Allen, used a seven iron to get his hole-in-one on the 135-yard 13th hole. Looking on were course neighbors Paul Moore and Walt Hagerdon. Then, on Thursday afternoon, Milford veterinarian Dr. T. A. Miller got a hole-in-one on Wawasee’s 200-yard 9th hole, using a two iron. Don Byrd said it was 5 the first time this 200-yard hole was ever made in one. With Dr. Miller were Jack Sharp, John Fisher and Wayne Bucher. Charles Moses, the new operator at the Syracuse police station, has come up with something new, at least for this area, and it’s a real conversational piece. He took two opaque plastic jugs and cut fins in them, put them upside down on a broomstick in front of the police station. Passing cars create a wind that propels the jugs. Moses, who is a retired railroader and looks upon his new job as a “retirement job,” says he got the idea in Florida where retirees came up with the idea, only there they put colored lights inside the jugs for a more colorful effect. Kokomo football coach Bob Bushong and his effervescent wife Ginie keep a cabin cruiser docked at Harkless Harbor and spend week ends enjoying them-2r selves on the Big Lake. Bob was basketball coach at Milford in the late 1940 s when that town had the good basketball team. His wife is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd (“Sandy”) Fuller of south Main St., Milford. “The Sign of the Fish” is drawing crowds, we’ve been told where young folks, too old for the Youth Center group, can congregate. So, if you want to see some “way-out” posters, hear some music, or even play an instrument just for your own pleasure, you might drop around. There are peanut shells on the floor and the tables are NIPSCp-modern. You can get a conversation started about almost anything. Each week end Mary and Ward Boram of r 2 Pendleton visit their cottage on the channel about a block back of the Rheinlander. Last week they had as guests Marvin and Helen Lynch, their longtime friends of Alexandria. It was this writer’s pleasure to become acquainted with the Lynches on our February trip to Hawaii. What a small world! The Hutchinson Mobile Home Park on Irish lake now has 67 occupants that bring new business to the several surrounding communities, including North Webster. Syracuse, Pierceton, Warsaw and Nappanee, adding to the economy of the area. The park is one of natural beauty, with an enchanting landscape. If you have a chance, pay the park an informal visit, and you'll find you have never been welcomed more graciously than by M. J. ("Hutch - ) Hutchinson himself. Uptown Syracuse merchants

were “delighted” with their Friday and Saturday sidewalk sale. The weatherman cooperated nicely, and they gave the sale a generous amount of local advertising. Merchandise was moved onto the sidewalks and traffic proved brisk and patronizing. ❖ * Joe Todd, in charge of having the directional “bird cages” in the uptown area, repainted for the Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of commerce, states no firm will be put on the newly painted cages that is not a member of the chamber. This “hard line” is hoped to bring in several long time chamber hold outs. Banker Bob Jones is trying to interest an antique dealer in locating in the uptown business district in Syracuse. * * » Several noted congressman John Brademas’ full head of hair, although well trimmed and well groomed, as he appeared at the county fair Saturday night to crown the new fair queen. * * # Joe 0. Estep, Milford and Kale Island resident, said he deplored the display of marijuana at the county fair so much he “had a good notion to write a letter to the editor.” He said it would only stimulate more young minds to the use of the wild-growing weed. ❖ « « Mr. and Mrs. Willard Conn and daughter Michelle of Tippecanoe Lake (Mr. Conn was former partner in Conn & Buhrt Lbr. Co., Syracuse) left Sunday for a vacation trip in Europe. Michelle is a senior at I. U. and will begin classes as soon as they return on the Bloomington campus. Silver Thimble Club Has August Meeting The August meeting of the Silver Thimble club of Milford was held last evening with Mrs. Levi Beer on r 1 Milford. Mrs. Glenn Price was her assisting hostess. Eighteen members and a guest, Mrs. Cynthia Stoller, Mrs. Beer’s daughter, were present. Mrs. Price, club president, presided over the business meeting. Mrs. Philip Campbell gave the secretary’s report. A rummage sale for September 11, 12, and 13 was planned with Mrs. Arnold Doll and Mrs. Donald Hoover heading it.

An arrangement of fall flowers of red, yellow, and purple hues centered the serving table laid with a yellow cloth, crystal, and silver. The hostesses served peach meringue torts, colorful ribbon sandwiches, and orange punch to those present. Miss Esther Beer received a gift. Mrs. Charles Weisser and Mrsj. Carlton Beer will be the September hostesses. Mr. and Mrs. Harley Lindemuth cf Syracuse spent several days visiting Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Schaefer at Wauseon, Ohio.
