taiziNJib§ PKfllp jgflr The photograph and story of the act of heroism by two young Syracuse youths, which appeared in this paper last week ago. was brought into question by Mrs. Dons Brixey of Papakeechie lake this week. Mrs Brixey is the mother of Bill Massengill. 15, one of the youths whose life was purportedly saved at about 4 p.m on Thursday. Aug. 13. y "• The photograph was of Dale Brown and Paul Van Dyke, their parents. Dr. Jack Clark and Terry Mack. Kosciusko countydistrict Boy Scout Executive. The boys were presented with medals of heroism as part of the United Fund kick-off for TurkeyCreek township at the Maxwelton country club on Wednesday night. Sept. 23 Mrs. Brixey states there was no act of heroism involved in the August 13th incident, and that while her son and his companion, Evelyn Leitch. 13. were both burned, their lives were never in any real danger. Bill Massengill backed up this point of view in an interview by this writer before this column was written Says Bill: “We pulled the boat up to the gas pump and asked for 14 worth of gas. The tank ran over and some gas spilled into the bilge. When I’ turned on the ignition, a spark ignited the gas fumes and there was a sudden ball of fire around the engine. We jumped into the water and the fire went out of its own accord. We asked Dale (Brown)/to help us. but he didn't even get info the water. When Paul <Vmbyke>i finally returned with a fire e'kj ttnguisher, the fire was out.** The two youths are members of Sea Explorers Ship 28. The citation of heroism was read by scout executive Mack and medals presented. Dr. Jack Clark, an ardent Boy Scout enthusiast of long standing, also commended the boys for their heroism If the word of Bill Massengill, whose life was reportedly saved by the incident, is true, it would only indicate that the entire thing was not well researched by scout officials, and that United Fund officials in the township were overly enthusiastic about having a kick-off gimmick.

about him. just so his name is spelled correctly. This was the case with Edward E. Keever, Democratic candidate for justice of the peace in Tippecanoe township. In The MJ political column recently, his name,was spelled McKeever Calling attention to the error, candidate Keever writes: "I would really appreciate a correction in your next issue. As you can understand, it's hard enough to get votes without your name being mispelled. 1 want to thank you for your service and kindness in this important matter — to me. that is." America's first astronaut to orbit the earth. Colonel John Glenn, told a county audience at the National Guard Armory Saturday night his bumper sticker would read: A • "America — Love It and Let's Make it Better." Incidentally, Warsaw’s Republican mayor Paul ("Mike") Hodges attended the reception for Colonel Glenn and the Armoryspeech Congressman Brademas. noting the mayor’s presence, jokingly said. "It’s never too late to be saved.” John Holdeman, husband of Dian Alfrey Holdeman, has moved his public accounting office from Ridgewood. N.J., to Elkhart. He is a CPA with degrees from DePauw and Indiana university. Some local accounts might be interested in knowing this. Tom Prickett has to walk a political tight line. He’s for Republican Tom Anglin for sheriff, or so the sign says in front of the Tom Socks store in Wawasee Village, because Tom is a brother to his wife Nancy. But then, he's for Democrat Lionel Harmison for county coun-ciiman-at-large Lionel is married to Tom’s mother Can't blame Tom on either count. Ls "Why don't you buy chocolate? U like it better!” said a Syracuse businessman when helping himself to a piece of candy in a dish at The Mail-Journal office. Phyllis (Mrs Wallace > Huffer had her hand and arm cast removed last week. —o— The Syracuse police department has started a worthwhile project, that of placing beach sand on the diminishing beach area at the city park with high hopes other interested parties or organizations will lend a helping hand for the many tons of sand needed. Employees of Mrs. M. Louise Connolly have placed a book in the Syracuse Public Library in the name of her son. R. Leon Connolly, entitled, "The American Heritage History of the

20’s and 30’s.” Many have taken this route in honoring the memory of their departed loved ones. The Lakeland Youth Center auction sale was held Saturday in-spite-of showers throughout the day. This brings to mind a portion of a letter written by the first youth center director. Bud Smith, following a number of years service and upon his resignation. The letter by "Your Fearless Leader" for a Teen Age Casserole is as follows: My Favorite Recipe Bud Smith TEEN AGE CASSEROLE Ingredients All available teenagers Companionship Laughter Competition Friendship Entertainment Understanding Discipline Compassion Guidance Love Utensils One large, clean, container such as our Youth Center to mix in. '‘First, all available teens must be thoroughly scrubbed to remove apathy, prejudice, selfishness, and favoritism. In this recipe it is imperitjve that the Chef also be scrubbed. Place freshly washed ingredients in large clean container for mixing. Mix slowly, delicately, and with tender loving care to insure against damage to these tender ingredients. Add companionship at this time, along with generous helping of laughter, competition, friendship, and entertainment. Blend in understanding thoroughly, making certain all teens are surrounded by it. This helps to insure a better flavor. Discipline must be added in quantities to fit needs, with the sole judgment of the Chef being very careful not to underestimate the needs The Chef will automatically add one heaping heartful of compassion whenever the need arises.

Spoon in guidance as needed, remembering that a very small amount at the right time is usually all that is needed. The main additive in the casserole is love. Love must be added in large quantities throughout the mixing process. You will find that just before the final baking a sprinkling of love over the entire mixture will add a crowning glow to your dish. Bake in an oven warmed by the heart for the duration of the teen age years. Place in the window of the world to cool. This casserole will serve millions. Each tender morsel is a gormets delight and will bring great pleasure and happiness to anyone who will take the time to savor this delicacy. At this point each serving is described as a good citizen. • If the Chef is extremely careful in the mixing process and the administering of added ingredients, calcium propionate need not be added to retard spoilage. Gene Lindsey. Etna Green banker and always the humorist, jokingly warns friends not to be in a hurry to try out the new road 30 Warsaw by-pass. "Just the other night we lost two hogs, a mule and a buggy on that darned thing?* he says. Dick Brown, manager of Budget Investments, says if his company is moving out of town he doesn’t know anything about it, thus emphatically denying an item in this column last week.

Al Graf — to them I give thanks and it is small return for the loving friendship those donors made. I do not know who they are but I believe some are from Wawasee Lakeside Chapel. There may be others but whoever they be — this is a wonderful neighborly loving act and the courtesy of the Red Cross should be commended. I am grateful to ail in the community for this expression of love. Agnes Graf
