bajziNj®B AROUND CusaßfeTi \ / Saturday was THE day for our town’s Carl "Hub” Wilkinson and Avis Rowland. They were united in marriage on Saturday. (? The artistic work of art on the picture window at Auer's Auto Supply last week featured wedding bells, love birds with the names of Avis and Hub and the 29th along with the words ‘‘Our Boss is Getting Married." Congratulations and best wishes go out to the newlyweds! Wondered last Wednesday if Millie Savage planned a walk or demonstration on Women's

The pig is still there! An effort to steal the large pig statute in front of Greer auction sales at the south edge of town was thwarted by local officials last week when four persons were seen trying to put the pig valued at 1240 in their van. No theft charges were pressed, however, driver of the vehicle was assessed in local jp court for driving with improper headlights.

Jack will be well remembered by many Syracuseans as the friendly operators of the bowling lanes beneath the Pickwick a number of years ago. Mrs. Dan Marquardt of Lake Wawasee stopped in the news office last week to tell of their adoption of a baby girl. Not expecting the adoption to go through for several months, the radiant Mrs. Marquardt wasn’t quite prepared for the great event when receiving a call to come pick up their new daughter but found friends and relatives quite assistful, plus diaper shopping en route, and all seem quite happy. They also have a 10-year-old son. Don. Actually, the event took part at a very good time as Mrs. Gertrude Wessbecher, mother of Mrs. Marquardt is presently visiting in the Marquardt home and will be leaving for her home in Germany September 10 following a visit with relatives in the states since April. There is scheduled to be a big change in county banking circles within the next 15 to 30 days, according to word from the county seat. Residents over Milford-way are talking like the outcome in the race for county sheriff, insofar as that community is concerned at least, may easily rest on what action county sheriff Dave Andrews takes toward the topless go-go girl w ho is currently performing at the Hickory Lounge. Since Mary Lininger and Dean Spicher have taken back the Hickory Lounge, go-go-girls are in Last week a buxom Elkhart lassie performed in the topless San Francisco fashion. She has been drawing crowds.

but our prediction is that her billing at the Hickory will be short-lived. A seven-year-old boy always finished second in his class on tests. The top score was made by a girl. ‘‘Why is it that a mere girl can get a higher grade than you do?” his father asked. "Well.” said the youngster, "girls aren't nearly as mere as they used to be.” Seen on a fuel oil tank truck: “Our customers are our warmest friends.” Seth Ward, the area’s wise man. marked his 71st birthday on Tuesday of this week, Sept. 1. but the big party was held Sunday afternoon at his freshly-scrubbed home just south of Wawasee Prep. The good Fathers, long friends of the wise old owl, baked several cakes for the Sunday celebration. Seth was pleased at the large number of friends who turned out to w'ish him a happy birthday. Maynard Shrock, Nappanee attorney who is a power in Elkhart county politics, is about to get a new law partner. He’ll be Steve Clase, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milo Clase of Warsaw. Steve will graduate from LU. law school at Indianapolis in January and take a post in Shrock’s new law offices. Clase, if he follows his father's persuasion (Milo is a longtime Republican precinct committeeman), will list himself as a Republican. If you happen to run through the gates on the B & O crossing at the south edge of town, there’s a good chance you won’t see splinters flying in all directions as in the past.

New snap-out gates have been installed, that will fall out of position as soon as they are hit. “Why not put up rubber gates?” townsman Jerry Herbison counsels. We’re thinking this might be rough on the car behind, an almost certain victim of a backlash.

More change in county banking circles: Look for the Farmers State Bank stockholders to vote famed ABC sportscaster Chris Schenk el of New York and Lake Tippecanoe onto its board of directors at a regular meeting Tuesday, Sept. 8. Present board members are J. Homer Shoop, Walter E. Shoop. Leon Kierein, Ed Likens and Mrs. James Bachelder. In remarks before the orientation session of Lakeland school corporation teachers Tuesday -morning, superintendent Don Arnold made the following comment: "I believe that rules and laws are necessary to an organized society. We need only to read the papers or watch television to see the results of those who have no belief in law and order. The rules we impose in our schools today are basic training for tomorrow. When parents and schools — and I might add courts of law — ignore the necessity for rules, they encourage and support those who will bring about the chaotic conditions in the society of tomorrow. If any of you fail to support the organization within the building where you teach, you, too, are guilty.” Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Bucher of r 1 Milford had as their Monday guests Mr. and Mrs. James Bucher of Portland, Ore. and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Bucher of Lima, Ohio.

A GIFT TO THE JAYCEES — Walter Gilbert, well known machinist at the Nicolai Machine Shop in Syracuse, spent considerable time building a miniature fire truck, and last week he gave the truck to members of the W awasee Area Jaycees for their use in parades in the area. Gil admitted the unit is "in need of a little repair" but thought it would give the Jaycees a project and a useful unit to enter in parades. Seated at the rear of the unit is Rodger Brown Gilbert. Danny Jones, standing is K. G. Plikerd, and in front is Chuck Koser.

Newman Raps Brademas J . For Announcement

Don M. Newman, Republican Congressional nominee, expressed surprise and shock last week over what he termed “the amatuerish blundering of a sixterm incumbent who had heretofore enjoyed the reputation of being one of the smoothest politicians in Indiana”. Newman made his remarks in response to a charge by Congressman John Brademas that the Nixon Administration ‘‘is playing politics with the future of Mishawaka”. The Third District congressman had announced a four million dollar grant to that city last Thursday. One week later, Newman produced a letter from Norman V. Watson, acting assistant secretary for renewal and housing development in the U. S. Department of Housing and urban development. It said the project has not been approved. Watson added that at this point ... we have little hope of doing so”. ' “Now,” Newman said, “We find the congressman attempts to avoid the responsibility of his remarks by passing the buck. The facts are clear. Yesterday at noon, he claimed his information came from a HUD official in Washington. Last night, he claimed a certain news reporter could substantiate that his information came from a HUD official in Chicago. The point is that Mr. Brademas has yet to produce any documentation that he had any such assurance at all. My documentation has been made available to all the news media and has been reproduced in print. If he is able to show proof, whether from Chicago or from Washington, that his remarks were not reckless as I have charged, then I will be more than happy to let the department of Housing and urban development clarify which of their spokesman was correct.

out that Brademas may have made his mistake after learning the HUD regional office in Chicago had given tentative approval of the request. “But surely,” he added. “John must have known that final approval was still needed from Washington. Apparently he was willing to run the risk involved in order to crown himself with underserved credit. “This is one case where the crown is a little too tight and is causing him a headache.” Newman offered His comments in a letter to Mayor Margaret Prickett stating he is hopeful that Mishawaka’s application for a HUD grant can be saved. The congressional hopeful added that he has been in contact with Washington asking the project be given favorable consideration. Randy Holden Graduates In Florida ORLANDO, FLA. — Navy seaman Randy D.
