This business was purchased by Columbus Disher. father of Lloyd Disher at Syracuse (where this bit of info came from*, from a man by the name of Jenkins sometime around 1920 and was then known as the Syracuse Feed Mill. Several sons also shared in the business at various times. The flour business was continued for a brief time, then going into the feed, coal and ice business. The business was sold to Junior Jones around 1940 and when he ceased operations, sold to Liberty Coach, now Liberty Homes. They in turn gave Jones the building if he would remove it from the premises. Jones tore down the structure and much of the lumber was used in various construction jobs. Lloyd Disher continued the ice business in a building oh Medusa street about where the Leonard Nichols home now stands and did tjuite well More information on the ice business ought be of great interest, we feel, including the 24 inch squares cut from the lake to fill the building used for storage, which held 1,200 tons. Miss Leila Connolly and Mrs. James (Dorothy) Connolly will be taking over the managership of Shoppe in Syracuse with plans for updating the interior. A big sale is being announced this week to make room for new merchandise which has been ordered Mrs. .M. Louise Cohnolly. founder, originator and operator of the business, passed away on November 19 at the age of 87. We have heard of a number of pets individuals either have or

desire, but the one last week was a dilly. A Boa constrictor! Now. really! ? Lindal will charmingly tell you all about it. —o — Counsellor Seth Ward has explained a few rights to this writer regarding different type meetings and rights of individuals to be present or to see minutes of the meetings. He added. »after profound study, he has come up with'a solution regarding closed meetings, (something about the “lights”, right?), and says he does not believe in violence but coherence. Now we go along with the latter statement. A helpful note from Bill Spurgeon of Muncie this week briefed us on several missing details in the town picture on page 8 of the February 17 issue. He says the reason the long outside stairway on the exterior of the building on the Huntington street side was not was because this picture was taken after the 1901 fire, and was not the same building as pictured in the January 20 issue. The “corner building was still there through the 1920’s fire which destroyed the old Oakland theatre and was remodeled in the mid-30’s by W. E. Long. Long put a new face on the building by the use of stucco, new windows, etc., and the resemblance in the upstairs window line to the picture used in the issue for the 1937 dedication is evident. Spurgeon adds the building in

(not razed) in the February 2, 1946 fire and was rebuilt in 1946-47 as a one story job. The one story structure is the one now boarded up following the 1971 fire. Mrs. Schlabach's picture dates from a bit later than persons might think, due to paving and storm drains, possibly around 1910. For the second consecutive year, area residents are going to be able to enjoy the program to be presented by the Ball State University Singers in the Wawasee high school auditorium at 8 p.m. Friday. March 26. Again this young group is being sponsored by the SyracuseWawasee Rotary club. Formed in the winter of 1964, the Singers are now convention favorites with repeat appearances at French Lick, in addition to campus and community favorites. Tickets are available at the banks in Milford, North Webster and Syracuse, and from local rotarians Bill Cutter, Bill Jones. Jerry Ganshorn. Jay Peffley, Tom Prickett and Tom Swartz. Damages were reported in the Lakeland area Monday morning following a rain and ice storm which started shortly early Monday morning leaving ice covered roads all over the area with school students enjoying a no-school announcement. The Carl Baldwins of Fascination Place in the Enchanted Hills division at Lake Wawasee and well known for their ham station for contact with servicemen overseas, were put out of commission at 5:50 a.m. when high winds in addition to the rain and ice collapsed their huge tower on their beam. \ The big 80-foot tower also housed three antennas extending the height another 20-feet in the air. Mrs. Baldwin reported they still had use of their FM radio, stereo, television and police monitor. This is the second time since the Baldwins moved to the area in October of 1963 that they have been put out of commission. The first was in July of 1965 when a baby went through the Hills area upsetting mobile home and causing much damage including the huge tower. Fortunately the tower fell to the ground, free of any buildings, high utility lines or other obstacles. Several announcements were forthcoming from the Syracuse police department this week. The first was a strict enforcement of the town ordinance regarding dogs which are to be

kept on home property or fastened and all others will be picked up. Also, they announce parking meter checks which have been reduced of late, will again be put in force with regular checks of all uptown meters. Local boy scouts, in keeping with national boy scout month, will be featuring a movie entitled, “Life of a Quail” at the scout cabin at 7 o’clock Thursday night with any interested persons invited to attend. Conservation officer Earl Money will be on hand for the picture which was made by the state conservation department over an eight year period. On Saturday morning, plans call for a “Show and Do” at the scout cabin which should prove interesting to anyone wanting to attend. Activities this week will also be a kickoff for project SOAR. Mrs. Richard Reece, we are informed her first name is Carol, has joined the NIPSCo office staff at Syracuse in the position left vacant with the resignation of Miss Leila Connolly. The Reeces are new to the North Webster area and he is with the Indiana state police department. Present employee Shirley (Mrs. Dave) Rock has been assisted for the past two weeks by former NIPSCo employee Mrs. Larry (Christine) Clodfelter (and her husband is also a state trooper) and she will continue in her present capacity until a breaking-in period is concluded for Mrs. Reece. Back to the sports scene — many Lakeland residents were seen in attendance at the state wrestling finals at Indianapolis Saturday including overnight stayers coach Frank and Mrs. Frank and four members of the yi-restling team. Not to be forgotten in the basketball scene is coach Jerry Lambert and his Syracuse Junior high basketball eagers. They captured the 1971 county Junior
