Dr. Robert Tolan, of Wawasee Arts Foundation, made a strong appeal for public support to the Foundation’s continued service to the area before a regular meeting of the Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of commerce last Thursday. He said he realized there was not sufficient community participation and interest, continuing that WAF “had been put down by some prominent citizens in the community who had not bothered to attend a single one of our productions.” Dr. Tolan has resigned his professorship with the Purdue-I. U. Center at Fort Wayne to devote full time to WAF, “to get it on its feet.” He said the success of the WAF program which has just completed its second year, can lend prestige and excitement to the Lakeland community. He acknowledged an indebtedness of $25,000, he said WAF has spent almost $90,000 since its inception, 75 per cent of it locally. During the same period about 15,000 adults and 5,000 children have attended WAF productions, with half of these coming from outside the Wawasee area. He continued, “It is impossible to calculate how much they have spent on food and beverages, gas and oil, and other transient expenses. He gave chamber members a bill of expenditures WAF has made locally, revealing it to be a vital force in the local economy. Dr. Tolan said WAF hopes to go after a so-called “big name”

for at least one production in the next season’s bill. * * * When Tom Swartz went to Marion to bring back the community’s Christmas decorations last Thursday, loaders inadvertently loaded decorations for the North Webster community on his pick-up also. When phoned about it, S-W chamber of commerce members planned to phone North Webster police and have Swartz stopped at the town limits. The big joke on Tom failed to come off, and he came in to Syracuse before he was told he had the Webster decorations on his truck. * ♦ ♦ If you’ve seen the effective Dodge commercial on television where the tough cop stops the driver of the sports car, you might be interested to know the cigar-chomping cop is a brother of Mickey Higgins, pro at Maple City golf course, Goshen. * * * Chet Elder is a busy man. Besides selling American Motors and Dodge cars for Wawasee Motors, he is branching out into real esstate. He got his state license early this year. Right now he is developing for sale 34 lots in the Bonnie Brae Estates, located on both sides of road 13 south of Syracuse. » ♦ ♦ A lot of good things are happening around the Syracuse area, and one of the nicest is the new Wawasee Heights residential edition, planned and executed by Kinder Realty, Inc. Cliff Kinder and Don Runge are the prime movers behind this effort. Another open house showing is planned for early in December. Watch for it. * * * Look for the price of playing golf to go up slightly next year. Pros at area golf courses, as far away, as Warsaw and Goshen, state they are feeling the infla-

tion squeeze and must take steps to keep up. ♦ ♦ • My, how basketball enthusiasm does catch on. WHS was all aglow Friday with defeat-Car-roll posters. One said, “Happiness is Stomping Carroll!” Even football coach Don Storey was seen in the school corridors wearing a yellow beat-Carroll sticker. ♦ ♦ * The pretty new face at Syracuse town hall is that of Susie (Mrs. Don) Runge. * ♦ « Dan Caskey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Caskey and a 1961 SHS graduate, is now a radio announcer for a Decatur radio station. On Friday night he announced his first double-header the Fort Wayne War Memorial Coliseum. The station he is with is owned by a young lad, a 1960 graduate of Ligonier high school. * * ♦ At this time it looks like Stanley Pequignot, young Warsaw attorney, will be selected as the new chairman of the Kosciusko county Democratic central committee. A Pierceton native, Stan’s dad is postmaster at Pierceton. A recent operation and slow recovery has forced chairman Paul Conkle to the sidelines.

Court Rules That Goshen Owes State Gross Income Tax

INDIANAPOLIS - The Indiana Appellate Court ruled Tuesday that the city of Goshen, which sold its municipal electric generating and distribution system in 1961 to a private utility, owed the state gross income taxes on the transaction. The city under protest paid $30,334 to the Indiana Gross Income Division of the State Revenue Department in order to fight the question. This represented the gross income tax on $455,300 of the total sale price of $2,066,064. But the Appellate Court reversed the Elkhart Circuit Court in its decision that $1,578,564 of the $2,066,064 price paid by Northern

Indiana Public Service Company to Goshen in 1961 represented taxable gross income. The trial court held that the $1,578,564 had been paid for “franchise, good will and going concern” and was not for sale of tangible property. But the Appellate Court said the section of income tax law exempting such “franchise, good will and going concern” transactions does not apply to municipalities. The law refers to “institutions, trusts, groups and bodies.” The state court order was to enter a judgment for the gross tax due on the entire sale, minus SI,OOO deduction.

Airman Price Receives Special Award For Valor Airman Randall L. Price, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Price of Elkhart received the annual citizen’s valor award in support of law enforcement over the week end from the Michigan council on crime and delinquency because of his actions on June 121 The award is presented annually by the Governor of Michigan. It consists of a check for $250 and an engraved plaque which refers to the recipients’ act of valor. The award was made in Detroit. At 2 p.m. on June 12 theairman was driving on highway 12 in Michigan’s Cass county. He observed a Cass county deputy sheriff standing beside a car at the edge of the highway. The deputy was talking with a single male occupant in the car. Airman Price heard several shots and saw the deputy fall to the pavement. Airman Price turned around and brought his car back adjacent to the scene of the shooting just as the first car was pulling away from the fallen deputy. At great risk, airman Price noted a description of the driver of the first car, a description of the car and its license number. He next used the deputy’s police radio to advise authorities of the incident. He remained at the side of the wounded deputy until the ambulance arrived. The deputy had been hit four times. He was shot in the abdomen, the left chest, the right hip and the left arm. The deputy has since recovered, but he was semi-conscious at the scene and unable to assist in providing a description of his assailant. Because of airman Price’s actions, the deputy’s life was saved and the assailant was apprehended by other police within a few miles of the incident.
