Area Holstein Cow Is Credited With 100,000 Lbs. Output Hdstein-Friesian Association of America has reported a production milestone for a registered Holstein cow from this area The career producer has been credited with more than 100,000 pounds of milk output under official testing supervision. The owner. Harold Wilson, Milford, has been notified that Ulika Prince Skyliner Diane 5309570, has produced 125,040 pounds of milk and 4.253 pounds of butterfat in 2.411 days since becoming two years of age. Because of current replacement heifer rearing and purchase costs, cows that stay in the herd longer and achieve high lifetime production levels have proven to be more profitable Production levels of this magnitude can be attributed to scientific advances in feeding and management practices coupled with the genetic improvement and longevity of registered Holsteins. s .

& THE EDITOR
Another View Os Syracuse
Dear Editor: I trust that you will approve my remarks and publish same in your paper, The Mail-Journal in respect to the Town of Syracuse. My Personal Observation I visit Syracuse many times during the course of a year's time, I have relatives who live in Syracuse and I have made many friends in the past five years. I have talked to the old timers and a lot of those who are not so old, my subject was, What is wrong with the Town of Syracuse? I will not try to tell you their views, but many of their views were along the same thoughts of my own as to What is wrong with Syracuse? Speaking for myself, Syracuse is still living in the past, dependent on the summer months and the God given waters of Syracuse Lake and Wawasee Lake to bring in the summer business which I must admit is terrific. What happens when the lake season is over and the leaves begin to fall from the trees? Syracuse hibernates until the new season starts. And so it has been in the past and is now very evident today. What to do about this sad situation? Syracuse has it’s Town Board, it’s various clubs, it’s Veterans organization, church organizations, youth groups, the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club and several other active groups. Now that I have mentioned the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary club I am reminded of the fine program they sponsored for the evening of February 12th when the Ball State University Singers appeared at the Wawasee high school auditorium (Lincoln’s Birthday) results, the residents of Syracuse blew it again, no cooperation, and I am told the University Singers put on an excellent performance. I would suggest that the Town Board and all parties concerned with the welfare and future growth of Syracuse follow the five cardinal principles, To wit: What, When, Where, How and Why. You all know of your local problems much better than I, so when these problems present themselves, get together and ask yourselves, What are we going to do to solve this problem. When are we going to do as suggested. Where are we going to do all of this, How are we going to get all of these suggestions decided on done. And now we come to the very important fifth cardinal principle, (WHY) This little word WHY makes one take a review of his former decision, take a second look at the problem, check it over, and be sure that you are not making a mistake some where along the line. Believe me, it works, try it and find out for yourself. As I see the great problem of Syracuse it is ham strung, it needs to grow, expand, get breathing room, move out the town boundaries. You are just hemmed in too tight. Get away from all of this town stuff, grow up and become a small city to start with, a Mayor, a City Council, and other elective offices that go along with this newlife, Don’t sleep through the winter months waiting for the
birds to fly back north, Syracuse will be no greater than the residents of Syracuse want it to be. I would also suggest that all roads leading into Syracuse have this working in large letters.

Brademas Lauds New Post Office Delivery Service
WASHINGTON, DC., — Congressman John Brademas (D-Ind.) announced today that he has been advised by Postmaster General Winton M. Blount of a major new postal service program that will expand home deliveries for the first time to an additional 1.2 million families—about 4 million Americans—principally in small communities. Said Bra&mas, “I am informed by the Postmaster General that this new service will benefit numerous communities in Indiana. In fact, the Post Office Department estimates that as many as 28,635 Hoosier families can take advantage of this program.” Under the new program, persons living more than a quarter mile, but less than half a mile from 18,700 post offices that currently do not have city delivery will now be eligible to receive mail delivery at home. Previously, they have been compelled to go to the local post office for their mail, since rural delivery service was available only to those living half a mile or more from the local post office. The only requirement of the new service is that it must be requested to the local postmast a-, and a majority of those living half a mile or more from the local post office. Hie only requirement of the new service is that it must be requested of the local -postmaster, and a majority of those living in the area must desire the service. The expansion will be achieved by such steps as extending shorter rural routes and adding delivery stops to some rural routes. In other instances, “star” or contract routes may be used to provide the service. In some locations it may be necessary to establish new rural routes. Brademas listed the following areas in the four-county Third Congressional District which will be eligible for the expanded service: St. Joseph County — Granger, Lakeville, New Carlisle, North
Liberty, Notre Dame and Wyatt. Elkhart County — Bristol, Middlebury, Millersburg, New Paris, and Wakarusa. Marshall County — Donaldson, Lapaz, Tippecanoe, and Tyner. Kosciusko County — Atwood, Burket, Claypool, Etna Green, Leesburg, Mentone, Milford, North Webster, Pierceton, Sidney, and Silver Lake.Bible Study Course Begins Sunday At Milford UM Church A new 13-week Bible study course, “The New Testament and Modern Man,” will begin at the Milford United Methodist church Sunday, Feb. 22.
