An albino raccoon is a very rare bird (er. animal) but one turned up near North Webster recently. The above photo is living proof On the left is Terry Musselman, r 1 Milford, with Glenn Stiffler, r 3 Syracuse, captors of the Impound critter. They caught him alive on Wednesday. Nov. 18. Anvone know where Musquebuck Park is? This is the question the county sheriff was asking last week. Syracuse telephone exchange manager Janie (Mrs. Harry) Schultz received a long distance death notice, and dutifully gave it to the sheriff for delivery. “What. Musquebuck Park'’" he asked. “Where’s that’’'’ He had to be told it is on the south side of Dewart Lake, owned by Mrs. Alva Crowl. This will date you Do you - remember when # We ordered coffee and rice and most of our staples from the Sears Roebuck catalogue. .... When the grocery wagon came around once a week with staples and a few goodies. .... When you paid your grocery bill (quarterly ) and the kids recehed a bag Os candy . .... W hen you opened up the parlor only for company. .... When the deep snow cosered the fence posts. Comes now this nice note from Bill Spurgeon of Muncie: “The cupola which appears in the right background of your postcard reproduction of the old Grand Hotel? “Well, it is the cupola of the old high school built around 1870 or so It stood immediately behind the old eleinentan school, at the top. .of the hill comer of W ashington and Harrison streets "Believe this school was phased out in the first quarter of

this century — perhaps before the new high school (now the older part of Syracuse Junior High) was built around 192-1. but perhaps not until then. “As to the Grand Hotel itself — it was run by Seth Rowdabaugh back in the early 30s. before he went into law practice. In the early 40s it still looked like it did -in your picture — turret and poretcochere and all. In the late 30s and early 40s a man named Nicholas H. Shaheen, now of Canton. 0., ran an oriental rug and linen shop there. First tenant after the remodeling in the comer was Bill Irwin’s liquor store, and Howard Shupp opened the Dixie Restaurant right behind it. This would have been 1947. "To end today \s historylesson: In the picture of the Cement Factory shown recently, the block building in lower right is still there. Might be fun to stand at same site and take a “now" picture of the location! “Russell Hinderer was right, too. in that it was not a narrow guage railroad which ran to this plant Was standard guage — south from plant to Macy's Slip, west to Waubee Lake, and finally on to Winona Line south of Milford It was incorporated as the Syracuse and Milford Railroad Best wishes. Bill" Counsellor Seth Ward, the perambulating lecturer, appeared before a Wawasee high school English class one day last week, and met with what he took to be unanimous approval of his remarks. Said he: “When 1 concluded my remarks, the applause was deafening." Three houses are already down on the west side of road 13 in North Webster, to make way for the new IGA supermarket and community parking lot Young Dave Carey is manning the heavyequipment on the job. The Syracuse business community is minus its oldest active merchant with the passing of Mrs. Louise M. Connolly last Thursday momii.g. Her dress shop, located at 1084 East Mam street in Syracuse, has been a secret (and favorite) haunt for many ladies from far and near The amount of business she did. and the distance from which she drew customers to the Syracuse community, would astonish most people Defeated Lakeland school board candidate Bill Brammer is trying to wrest some humor out of the recent election, noting the preferential treatment given Trudy Etherton and Richard Roudebush following their Nov. 3 defeat. He said. “Maybe the school board will give me a job like

Bud Lantz’s job. for instance.” We might have a dog house factory in the Lakeland area. Eldon Clayton of Clayton’s Garden Center road 13 North of North Webster, west side, is building dog houses of several sizes and they've been Selling “like hot cakes." He plans to enlarge his production into a "factory.” Tom Tuttle is moving from Indianapolis to the lake and will operate the South Shore Golf Club this summer. Jim Connolly, operator of the dub for the past eight years, will tbntinue to work there. Pro Steve Roderick will stay on. Tom, who spent his early years in the area, is now newcomer. He plans to remodel the club house somewhat ... to the tune of 115.000. l,ook for a well known name behind the bar, he confides. He points to a slight increase in rates coming up. incidentally. Beware the soft berm at the corner of the Syracuse-Milford road and the Syracuse-North Webster road as work is in progress for widening of the corner on the southwest side. Traffic is heavy in this area just prior to and following school hours at the high school, and factory hours. Ann Harris, (Mrs. Charles) still manages to be pretty efficient in-spite-of a broken arm sustained several weeks ago in a fall at the Harris home. Probably curtailed the painting until spring, right Ann?
