with the Roosevelt Johnson and the 7 C’s playing. Senator R. Vance Hartke, who will be an honored guest at the Sunday Flotilla, will be at the dance with Mrs. (Martha) Hartke. The big parade will be held Sunday afternoon with parade formation being at Macy’s Slip at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 21 — that’s Father’s Day, chum. The parade route will not be announced until the day of the parade because prevailing winds may very well dictate the course to be taken. Honored guests besides the Hartkes wHI be Third District congressman John Brademas of South Bend. A Sunday morning breakfast is being planned for the honored guests. If one can judge by the effort being put into this year’s Flotilla by members of the Wawasee Area jaycees, it’s sure to be one of the best in recent years. We re hoping so, anyway. • ♦ • In our haste to deal with the things that are wrong, let us not upset the things that are right. • • • Look for a young lady who taught at Wawasee high school last year to announce her engagament within the next several weeks. A “concerned citizen” sent us this important note: Can’t we instill in ourselves and our children respect for our own and other people’s property? The B & 0 railroad station is one of the most attractive (inside and out> small stations in these United States. Let’s determine to keep it that way. We should have tremendous pride in our community; and instill that pride throughout our families. Joe Garagiola said that at the Indianapolis 500 Race once, some one threw a beer can onto the track and immediately every one around there pointed their fin€ger at the culprit who was escorted out promptly. Sounds like a pretty good idea. • ♦ • It happened at Maxwellon golf course last Tuesday. Edie (Mrs. Billy) Little teed off on number 7, using a trusty

iron. The speeding ball careened off to a sharp 45 degree angle, hitting Inez (Mrs. Arlo) Beiswanger on the side of the head. The impact knocked Mrs. Beiswanger out and she was taken to the clubhouse forthwith. She recovered, but it could have been real serious. Playing with them were Bonnie (Mrs. Leon) Newman, all three from Milford. Shades of Spiro Agnew! • • • The M & M restaurant south of North Webster is completing a large 28’ by 104’ addition on the west side of its present building. To be known as the Pioneer Room, it will seat 100 and will be finished in rustic decor, so says president and manager Fred Clark, Jr. Some of the paneling and old furnishings are coming from an old house they are tearing down. It should be completed September 1, be says. • • • And this from Jay Rigdon: Well, there's Pat and Ike. They look so much apart you can’t tell them alike. • • * The indomitable little lady from Clunette, known as “Grandma Grace” (Mrs. Washington Irving) Anglin, age 89, who loves to drive her own car and fly in airplanes, is at it again. This time she flew to Europe with her son. Wallace (Monk), and his wife Enid. They left Fort Wayne Friday, June 5. and planned to be home Monday of this week. But the trip had a more solemn purpose. Mrs. .Anglin had a son, William G., who lies in a cemetery at Henri Chapelle. Belgium, and she wanted so very much to visit his grave while she was still able. Bill was 23 when he went into France from England with a first wave on a U. S. invasion force. He was wounded in June of 1944, and sent to England to recover. He was recommitted to battle and was wounded again on November 18. 1944, at Rotgen, Germany, a small town in the Hurtgen Forest. He died of these wounds. An ironic twist of fate saw Bill's younger brother, Jack, now part owner of the Clunette Elevator, in a rear unit that was to relieve Jack’s 4th Division in Germany. Jack received a letter from home on December 27, telling of Bill’s death, and. would you believe it. Jack was in Rotgen, a community of nearly 1,000 souls where brother Bill was killed, when he received the letter with the tragic news. • • • The motorcycle-riding “Banditos,” who are now in residence at the state penitentiary at Michigan City, "did their thing" at a place known as "the barn" at the south edge' of Lake Wawasee for a time before they were rounded up for bludgeoning a

Samuel Pritchard, formerly of north of Syracuse and pastor of Solomon’s Creek church, informs us they are now residing at Howe. • * ♦ "Look Mom I lost a tooth” were the first words uttered by eight-year-old Teresa Ann Hertenstein when coming out of the anesthetic following a tonsil and adenoid operation last week at the Goshen hospital. She is the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Theodore Hertenstein of Syracuse. • * * Syracuse is taking on a new look with yellow curbing sections being repainted. • • * A rash of nuisance calls in the area have been reported during the past ten days with as high as nine and ten at one home in a 24-hour period. Did you ever try to get a check put on your number for tracing purposes? It’s complicated! ♦ • * The Fred Personette family has purchased a home at Archbold, Ohio, and made the move this past week. He is associated with G*W Foods which recently vacated from Syracuse to Archbold. The Personette home in Syracuse has been rented to Wawasee high school teacher, Betty Arthur.

Work Proceeding At Northwood High School

Wa-Nee’s superintendent Weddle reported to members of the school board last Monday evening that the new high school construction was proceding with’ little or no interruptions and that all trades were on the job with the exception of plumbers and iron workers. He stated if the plumber and iron workers strike continues it will affect building progress in the very near future. Hie superintendent also explained that even though most trades were on the job. there appears to be a serious shortage of workers in a number of the trades represented. Efforts are being made by the architect and school administration to induce contractors to add additional personnel to their respective work forces. Mr. Weddle read letters of resignation from Andrea Brown, elementary- teacher at .Wakarusa; and Jose Rosquete, Spanish teacher at North Wood high school, Nappanee division After a brief discussion and consideration, a motion was duly made and seconded to accept the resignations with regret. A communication was read from Sturn Campers, Inc., requesting use of the Wakarusa school parking lot on the week end of July 4. The firm wishes to use the blacktopped area of the school grounds to park proximately 90 campers visiting the firm at that time. After consideration and with the understanding that Saturn Campers will be fully responsible for any damage or debris left on the site, a motion was made and passed to approve the request as presented. The superintendent explained that it would be necessary in the near future to pay for new high school furniture and equipment already ordered and requested the board's authorization to advertise for SIOO,OOO ap-
