Involved in the fire were the theatre, lounge. Pickwick playroom and soda fountain, Pickwick Art Gallery, Syracuse Journal paper, bow-ling alleys and apartments occupied by Mr and Mrs. Joel Wilt and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Greiger. plus four unoccupied apartments. To the immediate left of the English style theatre building was the house of Dr. Bowser and to the extreme left was the old Hoopingarper garage building which housed the Syracuse fire department when it burned to the ground m March of 1960. along with gdl fire fighting equipment Have you seen our town’s Martin Levernier in his perky red hat? Still under the weather from a recent illness, he continues in his business operations. A new addition at Ganshom Printers!
New Case curtains at the windows lend a warm decor to the business establishment. After one month in office as Turkey Creek township trustee Joe Shewmon frankly states the job isn’t quite what he thought it was. He admits to having “learned a lot.” For instance, he cites his change in attitude toward poor relief, a very real and human need in any community. The thoughts of the Pickwick Block fire continues to stir memories. Long time VyLactos Laboratories accountant Mary (Mrs. Harold E.) Konzelman vividly recalls the time VyLactos (then Stiefel Feed Co. owned by Joe Stiefel of Fort Wayne) burned. It was on a cold Saturday morning. Dec. 22, 1962. The fire alarm was sounded at 4:24, but the building was completely engulfed in flames when firemen arrived. Manager James Pounds listed loss at $130,000. The building was rebuilt and the company was sold to VyLactos on October 1. 1963. The latest fire though with VyLactos will be the fire shortly after noon last Wednesday resulting in $5,000 to $6,000 in damages, most of which was to
feed mixtures being stored in bins, with only minor damage to the structure. A personable young man quite new to Syracuse, who joined the Lakeland Bridge-O-Rama, was quite sure there was no such thing as a minus score. How about it now T. G? It takes a while to get them up and a longer while to get them down. Christmas decorations we mean. Speaking of window displays. There is an eye catching window for Valentine’s Day at the National. This should be a golden opportunity for our local Dollar Store. Everyone was glad to see the boards go up on the downtown comer to cover the eyesore. Now most people are hoping they won’t remain there too long. Wonder if our esteemed editor is giving those elephants any trouble, and we don’t mean those G.O.P. ones either. Speaking of our editor, he will be spending his anniversary in Timbuktu (pronounced Timbucktoo). Did you know there was such a placet It is located in Mali, Africa. Syracuse has a first for this area—you can find lady station managers all over the west and in Florida, but where else but Syracuse can you get your tanked filled by smiling teenage twins? Keep up the good work girls! If you are one of those people who enjoy trading at home you find it a little difficult with the loss of Thomas’ and the empty racks at the La Petite Shoppe. One can now shop at the local dress shop without extra arm muscles. Coffee tastes the best when there’s a bright smiling face that serves it! Rich Man? Poor Man? If someone were to pay you ten cents for every kind word, you ever spoke about people, and collect five cents for every unkind word, would you be rich or poor? (makes you stop and think doesn't it?!:)
Received a subscription renewal and a note this week from Mrs. Donald Mock at Kissimmee, Fla., saying their weather is hot. She adds they have the doors and windows open and children are barefoot. A note from Lake Wawasee resident, Mrs. Ruth Fuller, at Sarasota for a visit said she enjoyed a brief visit and some golf with several Syracuse residents vacationing in Florida and that the weather there has been in high 70’s with the exception of several nights recently when temperature dropped low enough to freeze a few plants. Friends in the Lakeland area will well remember Dave Webster as he attended school here for several years, and his mother was a talented teacher in the local school system. i A 1970 graduate of Goshen high school, athlete Dave is averaging 7.1 points per game as a starting forward on the Purdue freshmen basketball team. Caesar, a pet dog and long-time family friend of the James Mench family, was rushed to the veterinarian last week for surgery after being attacked by a large dog in the Mench yard. Injuries resulted in the loss of an eye. Congenial Pat (Mrs. Gerald) Bitner, long-time employee of Auer Service Station and Auto Parts, is no longer employed there as of last week. Secretary, office girl, bookkeeper and Gal Friday at the Main street business, for nearly five years, she is now taking sometime to catch up on some of her own work and errands. Her friendly voice on the telephone and smile in the office will be missed! Leila Connolly and Christine Disher are off on a two-week Florida holiday.

Connolly has announced her resignation effective February 12. She assumed her duties in the utility office on November 15, 1951 at the resignation of'Nancy (Mrs. Charles Searfoss) Treadway who was married in that month and moved to Arizona to make residence. PROGRESS IN NORTH WEBSTER — Williams Electric Co. has moved three doors south, to the building vacated by Leedy Variety Store. The corner building Williams moved out of was sold by owner Irene Gerard (now in Florida) to Mr. and Mrs. Thurman Rinker of Rinker’s Variety Store. Rinker is remodeling the building extensively for a new shop, but are wont to announce what it is. Surprise! They hope to open by Easter. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Berghom planned to open a “sweet shop” in the building which formerly housed the North Webster Locker, but were stopped when the county health department found their well and septic tank were too close to one another. Another reason the pressure is on for a new sewage system for North Webster. RICHARDS TRUCK HITS POLE Charles J. Richards, 57, r 1 Leesburg was unhurt when his truck skidded on ice and hit a utility pole on CR 325E one mile east of Oswego last Wednesday. Deputy sheriff Ron Robinson set damage at $450.

Damage was estimated at nearly SI,OOO by Goshen police Lt. Zentz. The incident occurred last Wednesday afternoon.
