But she was in for a big surprise. At midnight a group of friends (?) began banging on her front door demanding entry. It turned out the well-wish-ers brought glad tidings with them, including a beautiful diamond necklace and a birthday cake. Mary was reduced to teats from sheer joy. Her nocturnal callers were Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Appenzeller. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Rogers and Mrs. Charles Clevenger of Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. Dave Troyer, and Larry YoderM Elkhart; Mr. and Mrs. Bernice Eash of Goshen; Mrs. Cara Johnson of Warsaw; and Ginger Ganshorn of Fort Wayne. • • • WHS curriculum coordinator John A. Saab gave us a newspaper clipping that reminded young marrieds that it will cost $25,840 to raise a child until age 18. Thus, an “average - ' brood of 3.2 children will cost $82,688 to raise until 18. This based on an average income of from $7,500 to SIO,OOO. And, if you want to give them “those little extras." the cost rises proportionately. Interestingly enough, these costs of raising children are in direct

'TTh.c

proportion to incomes, the article concluded. When family incomes were about $2,500 (about 1935' the cost to the family to raise a child was calculated at $7,500—0r 3 times the family income. • * • Ray Yoder disassociated himself with the Frog Tavern in February and is now a sales representative for Northern Indiana Liquors, Fort Wayne, taking the job held by Bob Auer before his death. Ray says, “14 years in a tavern is long enough for anyone.” • • • Tom Swartz of Village Green mobile home sales in Wawasee Village, has plans of starting a mobile home court called Village Estates in the Oakwood Park area. It will begin with six mobile homes, and be enlarged later. Plans have already passed the county health department, and will soon go before the Syracuse plan commission for approval. He hopes to have the project completed in six weeks. • • • Another new home going up on Pickwick Road, just west of the channel bridge. • • • The word is out the popular Syracuse Case has been sold by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Kline to an Elkhart couple. Change-over will come May 4. • • • It's hard to beat a team like Ralph and Mary Lee Clingaman for community service. Ralph is president of the Lakeland Youth Center board, and he inveigled Mary Lee to persuade her Garden Club to spend part of its Christmas Bell Walk proceeds on new shrubbery around the Youth Center. That done, they both turned out Saturday morning in old clothes (with a lot of others, incidentally ) Io plant the shrubbery. What’s more, it looks real nice. ♦ • • Note from the Earl Dam at Melbourne, Fla., says Florida

weather is perfect now, in the 80's in the daytime and upper 60*s at night with plenty of rain. They will be returning to that Syracuse Lake home around the first of May following the winter stay in Florida. • ♦ * An old business has been sold but the same name goes on, according to Joseph Bushong. Son George purchased the business and the building on January 1 of this year, known as the Bushong Barber Shop, located on Main street. The Bushong Barber Shop was established by Eli Bushong soon after his return home from the Civil War and was operated by him until his death in 1915 nt which time his two sons, William and Vera, took over operations. Vern sold his share to William and started the Bushong Beauty Parlor which he operated until his death in 1940. Our town's Joe Bushong bought the building and shop and operated it until 1960. Son George has. managed it for the past ten years, having worked in the shop since 1947. A younger son, Jon, has been in the shop since 1959 and Keith Koble since 1955. ♦ « • Barrister Seth Ward ordered 1,000 letterheads, then added this wry remark to the printer: “Am I being too optimistic?” • o • County auditor Lawrence Butts reports property exemptions from churches, lodges and other organizations are slow in being filed this year. The deadline is May 15 so those responsible should hurry and get this job done. • • • A wife was complaining to her husband: “Look at these old clothes I have to wear. If someone came to visit, he'd think 1 was the cook.’’ “Not if he stayed for dinner,” said the husband. • * * School officials are to be complimented for the adroit manner in which they handled the urge on the part of some WHS students to walk out during the noon hour Friday. The students in question might have thought their threat to support a small group who had been expelled (or an accumulation of violations was “cool,” but their parents had. other ideas, and are back of school authorities almost IM per cent in coming down lightly but firmly on the miscreants. Let’s just say spring is in the air and forget about the whole thing. * • * * What area businessman, after being stopped by police and given a warning for excessive speed, flippantly remarked would you like to see my driver's license—only to find it had expired over three months ago? • • • Well over 200 persons attended

State Troopers Operating Check Lanes In Indiana Indiana State Police troopers began this week setting up check lanes to inspect the driver’s license, vehicle registration and inspection sticker of Hoosier motorists. State police superintendent Robert K. Konkle pointed out that some drivers have apparently forgotten or neglected to purchase 1970 license plates in accordance with the new system. Owners whose last names begin with the letters A through C were required to buy plates on or before February 28. The deadline for owners with last names beginning with the letters D through H was March 31. The deadline for others is as follows: I through N—on or before April 30. O through S—on or before May 31. T through Z—on or before June 30. Konkle added that many drivers have also failed to have their motor vehicles re-inspected in accordance with state laws. Another reason for the check lanes, he added, is to detect drunk drivers and motorists who are driving while suspended. The check lanes, wherever possible, are being conducted in cooperation with local sheriff's and police departments. They began April 15 and will continue through the fall months. Beyond checking licenses, registrations and inspection stickers, troopers will not further inspect any vehicles unless an obvious violation is evident. Inspecting troopers. Konkle added, will keep a record of the number of vehicles inspected and violations detected. -
