tsaziN around ww ■ / The Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of commerce is cooperating with the Syracuse town board in having the Warsaw firm of D. H. Lessig Engineers, Inc., to make a map of the town of Syracuse, including the proposed annexation tracts. It is being made and should be ready for publication soon. The chamber is prodding the town board toward the annexation of three tracts which will add $1.5 million to the town’s tax rolls, bringing the corporate town’s valuation to a neat $4.5 million. There is minimal opposition to the annexation, as far as this column can learn, and no organized opposition at all. However, public meetings are being planned, one for each of three tracts to be annexed. It is safe to say that some pointed questions will be asked at these meetings. The town fathers will be put on the spot as to their proposed plans to deliver town services to these areas. And this is as it should be. When annexation becomes a fact, it is bound to be good for the Syracuse community. * * ♦ Kosciusko county Democrats don’t particularly relish an in-tra-party fight to determine who their next county chairman is to be, replacing Paul Konkle, who has been slowed down by a major operation.

Konkle has had the job ; for a long time, and appears weary of the task. Being named as a possible successor, and reportedly eager for the challenge of the job, is big Jack Summe of Warsaw. Jack has weathered the campaign trail and has earned the right to step into the job. He was a 1956 candidate for the state senate, and more recently opposed Mike Hodges for mayor of Warsaw. However, there is looming opposition to Summe, in the persons of a number of young turks in the county Democratic party. For one, opposed to Summe’s taking over the head job is John Kleeman, Warsaw city Democratic chairman, who, incidentally, pushed Summe as the mayoralty candidate to oppose Hodges. This group of young turks, more than likely, will coalesce around young Tom Lemon, attorney who is articulate, handsome, dresses like the new breed and has an “in” with Third District congressman John Brademas. Lemon has made his presence known with the new county hospital board and with such com-munity-minded things as the United Fund. At his side will be such other young turks such as attorney Stan Pequignot, another newcomer, will be well to watch. OkL heads like Dale Tucker, Warsaw Realtor and former sheriff candidate and currently a member of the Warsaw school board, could easily be a determining factor in this swirling storm that surrounds Kosciusko county Democrats. * * * If you missed the WawaseeFairfield game Friday night, you also missed the stellar performance of the Saint Joseph (Rensselaer) college band at the end of the game. The band, directed by Gary E.

Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Merle Smith of Smith-Walbridge Camp, is a colorful, high-stepping 92piece band that was a thrill to see and hear. It included its famous “Sweet 16” and a military color guard. They stayed the night at SmithWalbridge camp, arriving here in two buses, leaving Saturday morning to play at the ValpoSaint Joseph game. This very clever group will become a concert band in the spring, and besides several concerts, will perform on an European Tour for three weeks, playing 14 concerts in five countries. Note to the WHS music department: Let’s have more of these. * * « Bud Robinson, owner-operator of Robinson’s Grocery in Oswego, will give up that occupation to devote full time to a mobile home area he is developing near Warsaw. Bud also drives a Warsaw school bus. ♦ * * Rolland Petschler, owner of Turtle Bay mobile home park here, plans to add 60 lots to the north of his park in the very near future. #« « . Si Hire, Gene Henning, and Jay Brouwer were among a group who left Friday for Ludington, Mich., to spend a few days river fishing for Coho. An increasing number of local fishermen are going to, or near, that Lake Michigan area for Coho in what has become one of the most popular fishing areas in the midwest. * * « The popular Kale Island Beacon is closed this week while owners Johnnie and Mary Kimble are having the place carpeted and the entire parking area blacktopped. * * * Newshen Doris Darnell and Rev.

Lundquist appear to have a running battle on concerning the charge that the recently issued underground newspaper originated from the Sign of the Fish. Rev. Lundquist says, “Absolutely not,” but this failed to close the matter as Doris weakly attempted to justify her earlier remarks last week. * * • Another Syracuse high school grad has entered the service. Richard Allan Bell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dick Bell of 218 West Portland, Syracuse, entered the U..S. Navy on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and is stationed at San Diego, Calif. Young Bell was a 1967 SHS graduate, a red hot Yellow Jacket, and attended the Devery electronic school in Chicago prior to entering the service. HEX RURAL CLUB MEETS TUESDAY The Hex Rural Extension Homemakers club met Tuesday in the Hex Grange hall. The meeting was opened by the vice president, Mrs. Merle Darr. The president, Mrs. William Cable, sang the club song, “Let There Be Peace On Earth”. Devotions were given by Mrs. Milton Shuder, who read Acts 2:44-45 and ’ read an article “Love, Honor and Discuss”. The lesson “Meat Cookery” was given by Mrs. John Emmert, Jr., and Mrs. Oliver Hibschman and proved to be very interesting. Roll call was answered by 13 members Iby “My First Photograph”. There was also one child present. The meeting closed with the singing of the club prayer. SYRACUSE LOCAL Mrs. Agnes Stiffler, Mrs. Ethel Grubb and Mrs. Mary Brown, all of Syracuse, left Sunday morning for a tour of Washington, D. C.

Junior High I Hi kites FIRE PREVENTION WEEK By Susan Holcomb Fife prevention week started Monday, Oct. 6. This is a very important week to all people. Every minute of every day should be considered fire prevention week. We owe a lot to mother nature for what she has done for us. Don’t you think that we owe her something? Are your habits destroying mother nature? Just think to yourself what you might have done? Think about it. You went on a picnic and roasted marshmallows. It was a lot of fun. But did you forget to cool the hot cinders. The trees are beautiful in the fall. The leaves are drying and turning to brilliant colors. A leaf falls on the hot cinders, the wind blows, and before you know it a gigantic killer fire is on the loose. Never be absent - minded when dealing with fire. Remember what Smokey says, “Please don’t play with fire!” IT’S HAPPENING By Nina Bryant Last week’s Milford and Syracuse football game was highlighted by Crazy Shoes Day. On this day, supporters of the Yellow Jackets were allowed to wear crazy shoe combinations. Some of the sights seen were as follows: father’s shoes, highheels for boys, mixed combinations of shoes, colored sneakers, and others. Too bad that we did not win our third game of the season. However, there was a fine showing of school spirit for the game. All students in Syracuse junior high school completed their achievement tests. The tests were given during a two day period. We were glad to finish these tests! Last Thursday we had an excellent assembly program. Mrs. Paul Bishop from Washington, D. C., was with us and presented a delightful program on the First Ladies. She has known every President and his First Lady since the Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. SYRACUSE MAN’S TRUCK HITS POLE Vern Sholtey, r 3 Syracuse, lost control of his truck Monday east of Syracuse on CR 450 east when the front suspension broke and the truck hit a utility pole. Damage to the truck was estimated at SSOO.
