' / With the first flurry of snow of the year, coming down almost unexpectedly last Wednesday morning, snow men sprang up over the Lakeland community like so many jacks in the box And they were of all sixes and shapes, standing in the most unusual manner. One we found was standing at attention, wearing an army hat. throwing a smart salute, but with a broom for a gun. Obviously, it was prompted by an ex-Gl dad.

But... the ad goes on to explain, that's just the cow 's basic list price. Extras include the animals two-tone exterior, a dispensing device with four spigots, a product storage compartment, genuine cowhide upholstery, an automatic fly swatter and dual horns. Final

Students at WHS will remember Elizabeth Webster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Webster. The attractive Syracuse high school student moved to Goshen with her parents two years ago. Elizabeth was chosen DAR Good Citizen girl from the Goshen senior class, based on the selection of the senior girls and faculty. She will compete in a state contest, and state winners will compete in a national DAR contest Her activities include junior and varsity cheerleader. Girls’ Athletic Assn., church choir. Girls' State representative, Goshen Junior Miss contestant, member of the singing group, the Fifth Season, secretary and current president of Future Teachers of America. National Honor Society, winner of district speech contest, runnerup in regional contest, member of student council and state scholarship finalist. Members of a group of WHS basketball enthusiasts seated on the west side of the gy m on the lower level, consider Lavon Hawk the most ardent and vocal fan the Warriors have. The girl told her long-haired boy friend that father didn’t object to their relationship because he thought he was a girl friend. Principal Henry Smith, a spotting enthusiast, plans several pheasant hunting sorties during the Christmas holidays. Affable Don Novy, six years manager of the Weatherhead Co. plant in Syracuse, has assumed a position as manager of the Valve Division of the Crane Company at Chattanooga, Tennessee. The family, residing on the east side of Lake Wawasee. plans to remain here about two and a half months before moving to Chattanooga. Last Wednesday’s snow came so fast we were caught in the crossfire. At B:3d a.m. we wrote a cutline for an unusual home decoration at the Bruce McClintic resident at Milford, starting. "In spite of the lack of snow . . . But several hours later, when The M-J hit the street,there were about three inches on the ground. In the spirit of Christmas and interest of history of the area, young James Bassett presented The Mail-Journal office with a lovely piece of art Saturday morning, a ceramic plaque housing the head of a great Indian chief. What many persons would be interested in knowing, and young Bassett neglected telling, is that his great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents were acquainted with Chief Wawasee and the men had set around a council fire many times with the great Chief. The women, needless to say. had prepared many baked goods for festivities. The Bassett descendants owned several sections of land south of the new Wawasee high school and east into what is now Oakwood Park with tales of three tribes passing through on this property at various times. Comes to us in regard to a recent editorial in our paper of the John Wayne TV special, a note advising us that John Wayne (Marion Michael Morrison formerly of Winterset, Iowa) and his sponsor. Budweiser, shared the costs of transferring his recent TV special to film so It could be distributed free to V. S. servicemen around the country and overseas. In keeping with the state of lowa and journalists, did you know that Ronald Reagan was a sports writer (and a top flight one, to boot) for the Des Moines Register during the 1930’5? Tagged as Dutch Reagan at that lime, we wonder about the origin of that "handle." Gene Hill and Lee Poyser stood with mouths agape as two longhaired (really long) young men walked by in the uptown business district Monday. Both men smiled, shook their heads and walked off in different directions. A number of snowmobile owners in the area are anxiously awaiting the season’s first heavy and lasting snow. Kale Island Beacon decorated nicely for the holiday season. E. W. and Dorothy Frauhiger are so tired of repeating the story of their recent encounter with robbers they think they might

have their story printed on a card to hand out. ■Riis column has an avid reader in MLC. Youths attending the Syracuse Christian School are getting an unexpected vacation this month while the entire church and school facilities are being moved to a new location, the former Hex school building northeast of town. We understand assistant pastor Graff is an excellent artist and makes a fine teacher at the school. Did you ladies ever wonder why there is so much lipstick left in your tube that cannot be used unless you dig it out? An appeal last week by 13-year-old Jesse Stevens for safe return of a missing bicycle which he purchased this summer from funds of a a newspaper route, was in vain. The bike was found mid-week, completely stripped, wheels and all. Store owners and businesses were kept busy Wednesday keeping the snow off sidewalks, and many vehicles were poshed from curbs due to no traction availability. Posted in the State Bank of Syracuse is a 1909 calender bearing a picture of the old uptown Syracuse high school building. It is the property of Richard Miller, bank employee. Cruzin Around Ouse is wishing all its readers a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.
