Syracuse attorney and Kosciusko county prosecuting attorney, who is a spokesman for the Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of commerce in its thrust for annexation of three parcels surrounding the town of Syracuse, states he has been criticized for having ulterior motives with relation to the annexation move. One uninformed critic told Steve he is ambitious to become Syracuse's first mayos. should • the city be elevated to a higher civic status and thus merit a city mayor.

The story is being told that one critic of annexation at Syracuse has been dumping his family garbage with that at city park, thus getting free garbage pick up. • • • Regent Homes, a hefty employer in the Syracuse area, is considering expanding into the modular home field. Look for them to erect an entirely new plant near their plant north of Syracuse. Modular homes are coming on fast. • • * At the next annexation meeting, scheduled to be held tonight at the Boy Scout cabin. Frank Kirschner, a soil scientist with the soil conservation service, U. S. department of agriculture, will be present. He will have some interesting remarks on soil test he has been making in Kosciusko county. • • • Mrs. Andrew Armbruster, r 1 Syracuse, in March received a unique postal card from the Harold Grays from Sarasota. Fla. (The Grays are now home from their extended vacation trip.) The front of the caid is the Legend of The Holy Ghost Shell. It states: “This shell is one of the most unusual of all marine life. The five slits on the edge represent the five wounds in the body of Christ. There is an Easter lily design in the center of the top. with a fivepointed star in the center, Star of Bethlehem. "On the back is an outline of the poinsettia, the Christmas flower. When the shell is broken open five small but perfect re- , plicas of a dove will be found, Doves of Peace.”

Several area residents traveled to Flora. 111., on Good Friday for a recording of a long playing record of gospel music. Called the “Jubileers Gospel Quintet,” the group is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bushong and Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Knapp, all of Syracuse, and Mrs. Beverly Sponhauer of Ligonier. • • • Crusin' was a chore in some areas during and following the last snow. As the “white" melted, it made one wonder why residents of north shore Lake Wawasee have not protested for some drainage work in a strip between the former Harkless Boat Company and an area just beyond the Prep entrance at the golf club. At times, two sections in particular stand with water deep enough to drown the car engine even when driving under the posted speed limit. In the spring theme, Mrs. Jean Rogers of Budget Investments has a bouquet of flowers gracing her desk, straight from Hawaii. The unusual but indescribably beautiful array has to be seen to be appreciated. Each stem was inserted in a small balloon, the balloon filled with water and fastened with a rubber band, to ensure freshness. • • • Fredetta (Mrs. Earl) Money is in possession of a pair of earrings and matching necklace, a gift from her daughter Deborah and purchased while abroad. Debbie has returned to her schooling at Lake Erie college, Painesville, Ohio, following a brief visit here after her return from three months abroad studying at the University of Pisa. Debbie has many fine words and experiences to tell of the family she lived with and the closeness of neighbors. Her study abroad was through the school, called winter term abroad and her trip included visits of Italy, Rome, Venice, Pompi, Capri, France, Paris, Austria, Switzerland, Y ugoslavia, Munich, Germany, and others along the line. En route home she visited in London and Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day. Mr. and Mrs. Money and Deborah enjoyed a visit the last of March with Patrick, his wife Linda. and daughter Kimberly at Cullman, Ala. • • • If you notice Wawasee Motors closed from April 22 to 27, it’s because Huck Melchi and Everett Edgar, owners, are in Puerto Rico enjoying a well-earned trip from American Motors. Their wives (Ellen Melchi and Kate Edgar) don’t care to fly, so are remaining at home. For shame! Anyway, Huck and Everett won the trip for being highest in their district in having the biggest new car sales percentage over their quota for February and March. Huck won a trip to Hawaii last year in a similar contest, but

wasn’t able to go. Huck states, incidentally, their sales were 228 per cent above their quota. ♦ ♦ * Hats off to Rev. Harlan Steffen of Wawasee Lakeside chapel for holding weekly meetings with boys of his church during which they attempt to do various projects. A recent project was to take trucks and go around the east end of Lake Wawasee (along the highway) and pick up trash, cans, and other debris. TIJs has gone largely unnoticed, but residents living in that area really do appreciate it. * • * Jimmy Whitehead, young son of Delbert and Margaret, is taking an extra vacation from school due to a knee injury received in a fall in their barn during the Easter vacation from school. The wound required eight stitches. • • • Remark overheard last Wednesday evening after a hubby inquired as to why supper was late; “I was reading The MailJournal and lost all track of time. It was so newsy!” • ♦ • Have you checked to see i‘ your driver's license expires this month? If the first letter of your last name starts with I through N, you must purchase your license plates for your automobile before the end of April. To get your plate, you will need your 1969 property tax receipt, social security card, and auto registration certificate. • • • The Wawasee Area Jaycees are hopeful of making a successful bid to get third district congressman John Brademas of South Bend as Commodore for their Father’s Day Flotilla on" Lake Wawasee. The congressman is attempting to change a date of the new Mishawaka post office dedication, at which ,he will be featured speaker, in order to make the Flotilla appearance. • ♦ • Congenial Dale Butt of Wawasee Boat Company was prompt to give assistance to motorists in the Thursday morning snowstorm. His tiny little mower-tractor with front end snow-blade was put to use on the Pickwick road at the curve near the railroad crossing when rapid, wet snow made the road nearly impassable, and two vehicles slid from the road to the ditch and several stuck in snowdrifts. Stover Hire and his helper and Paul Weisse were also quick to assist when seeing the need. A local wrecker also wan stuck for a short time when attempting to give a push. HONORED BY FORD MOTOR CO. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wesner were in Indianapolis last Saturday to attend the annual Ford Salesman's honor award banquet in the Murat Temple. Mr. Wesner was recognized by Ford Motor Company as Kosciusko county’s top producing Ford salesman for 1969. A successful businessman is one who does not try to get something for nothing.

Hot Campaign Revealed At GOP Editorial Convention

By FRANK A. and DONALD D. WHITE THERE WAS much behind and underneath the 92d annual convention of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association this past week end that revealed how hot the 1970 campaign really is. Some 500 editors and guests from over the state gathered in the incomplete new Hilton Hotel that is all the rage. Seven floors of this structure are for parking autos. It is no longer safe to walk the streets to a parking lot. Warmly shaking our hands were the Governor, top state officials, two congressmen, leaders of the Republican central GOP and several editors. Sadly we realized that many of the 100 newspaper publishers and editors belonging to IREA were not there. We asked Max Friedersdorf, administrative assistant to Congressman Richard L. Roudebush, “how things were in Washington.” He replied: “A postal strike, air controller strike, and truck strike threatened. I would say it's about par for Washington.” Up-front seating in the spacious Hilton ballroom was a master of political protocol. On the north end were William Salin, Secretary of State, Congressmen Roudebush. and William G. Bray, and National Republican Chairman L. Keith Bl n. They are all “political bedfellows” in an effort to get the Republican State Convention nomination for Roudebush to run for the U. S. Senate against Democrat R. Vance Hartke. Balancing this teeter-totter further down the row were Governor Edgar D. Whitcomb, State Auditor Trudy Etherton, State Treasurer John K. Snyder, and State GOP Chairman Buena Chaney. While the Republicans were orating “political murder” of Hartke. he was addressing the International Association of Machinists, just through a thin folding door wall. The Hition, not yet complete, got Hartke’s remarks attacking G. Harrold Carswell for U. S. Supreme Court appointment and the Republican oratory interchanged. The Republican speaking began in low key, with rice president George Lamb of the IREA presiding. Two candidates for State Treasurer, mayor Ferman Yearby and John M. Mutz told why they should be elected treasurer. Governor Whitconi) was in fine fettle condensing a 30 minute speech into five minutes. The Governor told of 170,000 letters received from school kids telling “what is good in Indiana.” He suggested a similar contest for newsmen to write “what is good in Indiana.” It was the slender Trudy Etherton, auditor, who exploded the speaking. She was a fireball. She told how the Appellate Court had sent her to jail (5 minutes) and fingerprinted her, and the Supreme Court stood by. She had dragged her heels in paying $12.7 million to the Marion county mass transportation authority. She aimed a devastating barb at “Vaccilating Vance Hartke” sometimescalled “the mayor of Hanoi,” and vowed he would be returned to Evansville. Snyder next took the microphone. He has been looked upon as a conservative, and had vowed not to speak evil of any Republican. He turned out a fireball of political oratory. He ridiculed the slogan of Roudebush fans of an "open convention.” He said it was an “umbrella of political expedi-

ency covering the defeated and disgruntled.” Congressman Bray told us, “I have attended 42 IREA conventions and this is the first time I have heard a Republican attacking Republicans.” A bystander told us, “Snyder told it as it is.” Bulen said if the Governor really w-anted unity the license branches he seized should be returned. jobs of those he fired w-ho had helped elect him should be restored. and some apologies handed out. Roudebush baked in movie Kleig lights with no change of facial expression and said he did not consider Snyder s attack to be personal. Main speaker U. S. Senator Edward J. Gurney (R-Fla.), blasted the Democrats from Presidents Kennedy and Johnson “getting us in Viet Nam” to liberals out to beat Carswell. Lamb was elected president of the IREA and Carlos Craig of the Versailles Republican, is in line to succeed him as president. Taken all around the IREA convention was a glittering, gala event, where editors enjoyed a closeup of the political war and had a precious opportunity of talking to long time friends.
