‘O3JZInJv> rift Did you know Syracuse had a pickle salting station? From the picture file of Mrs. J. S. Pritchard, we have selected this excellent picture of the Union Canning Company’s station at Syracuse at the time A. H. Blanchard was in charge. .Along with Blanchard in the picture is George H. Keefer. This business was located in the area where The Weatherhead Company is now situated. Pickles started to roll in around July 29 and were salted down, with between 8.000 and .9.000 bushels of pickles being processed during the season. The vats were closed on September IS. 1905 Over 100 acres of pickles were planted around Syracuse by farmers and they received 60c per bushel (50 pounds* for wellformed pickles not being over three and one-half inches in length Only 20c was paid per bushel for large cucumbers, nubs and crooks It was said as many as 400 bushels were received in a single

day and nearly two car loads of salt were used in salting process. The company had two other salting stations in the area, one at Nappanee and one at near-by Leesburg These stations were managed by A. A. Laughlin. The Syracuse station had 11 large vats bolding 1.000 bushel each when full. They were 14 feet in diameter and eight feet deep. The brine was to be kept at 40 degrees of strength. Perhaps someone could add some information as to where the pickles were taken and as to what the large white building at the extreme right of photo, background, was used for. Rats! And Rats we have in the uptown area around the burned out Pickwick block area. Several businesses and residents of the area have become quite concerned of the recent invasion in board daylight. Pete. Another pet of the Lakeland area was told to us this week. A lion in the North Webster vicinity. Caged? Yes. A number of ice fishing houses, during the recent winds, blew ashore on the north and east banks of the lakes, some in one piece and some not so fortunate. Owners are warned to remove the houses and debris or charges can be. and will be. filed.

Plans are being made for a Camp Fire week celebration in observance of Camp Fire birthday week March 14-20. Many ladies of the Lake land area have completed plans for the 46th annual state bowling tournament of the Indiana Woman’s Bowling Association. Inc., at Muncie. The tournament started March 6 and will run through the first week end in May. Records show a total of 18 local teams have entered. Fort Wayne will host the event next year. , After talking earlier of a Spring Fling, we say the thought was there even if the weatherman thought to the contrary presenting us with more of the white ground cover following the Saturday rains. Emery Druckamiller, former Syracuse star athlete who was written up in the Feb. 24 sectional basketball tournament supplement to this newspaper, prizes among his mementoes a lifetime pass to all sporting events at Angola high school where he served with the athletic department for a period of 35 years. This word came to us from his sister, Mrs. Melvin (Mary) Kelly, r 1 Syracuse. Druckamiller was a member of the Syracuse team in 1921 (as a junior) when they played in the state tournament at Indianapolis. At that time he was one of six

Hoosier athletes named to the allstate team. This might not be a bad gesture for the Lakeland school board to make to this old pro who brought a moment of fame to Syracuse. Thoughts have been turning to spring with the recent weather the past several weeks, flowers peeking through, trees showing thoughts of spring and reports of robins in the area. We imagine Canadians will be ready for a Spring Fling after receiving a letter this week from Mrs. William Miller at Manotick, Ontario. She says the past winter is an all time record for the Ottawa area and reports 147 inches total snowfall to date with drifts covering the first floors of homes making visibility zero through windows. She adds four to five foot of snow had to be taken from roofs to prevent leaking and cave-ins and the last storm dumped 12 inches at one time, on top of 22. Fun!

We received a nice telephone call this week from Mary (Mrs. Percy) Bartlett at Syracuse shedding more information on driver of the huckster wagon in the March 3 issue with picture of the Lake House hotel on Main street Mahlon Venamon was his name and was grandfather of Mrs. Bartlett. His wife, the former Molly Tom, was a dressmaker. Mr. Venamon was born and lived in the Venamon house which is the yellow house on the south side of the SyracuseMilford road near Syracuse belonging to Lavon Symensma at the present time and was buried in the Syracuse cemetery. The all new Palace of Sweets will open in North Webster on or before April 1, is the word from Gene and Sheila Berghorn.

Cost of the trip will be $649, Rev. Mundy said this week. Anyone interested should contact him. Mrs. Robert Smith, Sr., r 4 Syracuse, sends us a change of address note, adding, “We love (this area), the lakes, the people of Syracuse, your schools, your children. Your paper, it’s all just great. Our granddaughter Ginger loves the schools and teachers here, even plays her dad’s trumpet in the junior high band.” “Short” McCormick, well known Nappanee auto dealer, will bring Joe Theismann, AllAmerican quarter-back who signed on Monday with the Miami
