Wed., Oct. 15, 1969 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER In looking over the old freight billing book from the B and O railroad for 1890, I found that my uncle, John Cable, sent two boxes of frogs on May 22 and two more on May 28. Frank Wogoman sent one keg to South Chicago, John Renfrow sent fruit and Noah King sent my uncle, Oren Cable, a package. The way it was written was Orley Cable, most everyone here calling him Orley. A lot of meat, fruit, butter and eggs were sent to relatives via the railroad in those days. On Sunday afternoon I heard voices in my yard and went out to investigate, only to find my neighbor, Bob Patterson, and sons looking for metal with a "finder.” Very interesting gadget—Bob had ear phones on and would run the finder over the ground and when it buzzed the boys would dig in the ground until they found the metal. They found several coins. In my yard they came up with tin foil, a piece of stove grate, a couple of bolts and piece of lock. It was fun, listening for the buzz and then watching until the metal was found. One could also hope it would be a buried treasure of gold coins. * * » Was talking to Wilfred Hodler the other evening and he says he is going to have a sale out at the beauty shop (Thelma’s Beauty Shop), then will tear down the. building. The building has quite a history—when the old Wawasee Inn burned 50 years ago, the building that housed the hired help was moved to the location where it now stands. Several owners and businesses were in the building before Mr. Hodler and the late Thelma Hodler bought it 35 years ago. One was a laundry. The building was moved by horses and was quite an undertaking in those days. * * * I still say annexation is needed here. It would be fine if we could get in a lot of large businesses, lots of people moving in, and where are they going to live, in their place of business? And if they have to live outside the town limits they are entitled to have city water and sewer. Yes, the town is in debt, so is the township, county, state and United States and whether we have annexation or not we are still going to be in debt. This is the 20th century, in the 19th century we could live and work at Syracuse. There was work and places to live. How many new homes or apartments have been built at Syracuse in the past ten years?

Wedding bells for Doyle Butler and Jo Dieterly and for Ed Peterson and Geraldine Pollock. Our congratulations to both of these couples! 0 * * ' I attended a very impressive ceremony last week when Jay Van Sickle gave the oath to his daughter, Jayette, when she re-enlisf-ed for another four years in the air force. With her was a friend,* Specialist 4 Lidia M.- Soto-Baez, who is a member of the U. S. infantry and a rifle expert. Also present Was T/Sgt. James White of Fort Wayne. Indiana Citizens Urged To Keep Old Diaries Have you ever seen a grown man cry? Well, they do. In fact there’s hardly a day that goes by that we in the Indiana State Library fail to witness at least a few tears or a sob or two. Why the tears? Well, it’s because most Hoosiers of the past have taken their old letters, diaries, account books, Indiana pamphlets, yearbooks, programs, photographs, and other such items out to the back and deposited them in the trash burner. You see the men who are doing the crying are the historians and students of history who are attempting to write about our state’s past. In an attempt to do the best possible job they need items such as those mentioned above in their work. They need to know what your great-grandfather or for that matter what your father was thinking about prior to an up and coming election. The number of men who walked out on strike at a particular factory is interesting but more importantly why did they walk out. What were their grievances? Sometimes one of these men would give a pretty good answer to these questions in a letter sent to a distant relative. If in turn the letter is preserved in the State Library it will no doubt some day put a smile on the face of our hard working historian. If you hate to see a man cry, why not consider the possible donation of the family’s papers, or other items that have accumulated over the years to the Indiana State Library? If you have any questions or items to donate, please notify Thomas Krasean, Field Agent, Indiana State Library, 140 N. Senate Avenue, Indianapolis, 46204. Or ask him for a list of the materials needed by the library. We would like to see the library flooded with manuscripts. At least its better than being flooded with tears. TO APPEAR IN COURT Bill Dewayne Jones, 32, and Lyndell Aileene Jones, 48, both of Syracuse will be arraigned in Kosciusko circuit court on October 21 on charges of assault and battery. Their attorney Lee Mellinger, Elkhart, asked for a continuance in their case Thursday. A 16-year old Syracuse girl filed the charges against them following an alleged assault September 5 at Syracuse.
