From the files of Mrs. Pritchard. this week we present the Syracuse post office interior taken about 1900. Bess Culler and Joe Miller are at the windows with A. H. Blanchard receiving mail. < This building was located on Main street, across the alley west from what is now the Syracuse Hardware. A telephone mouthpiece can be seen behind Miller. Note the delicate and soft carvings throughout including the wooden wall table. We do not see her often, but when we do. it is like a breath of spring and invigorating. Mary Lib (Mrs. E.

of a business van Saturday morning, “if your faucets leak X we’re the drips to call." Mrs Harold Bassett, part Irish she says, questioned several items in last week's edition in regard to Saint Patrick and we will quote a line from the World Book Encyclopedia, “Much study has been given to Saint Patrick, but little that goes beyond the testimony of his own writings can be accepted as certain." In this book also, his years are given as. about 389-461. He was born at Bannavem which may have been in England near the Severn estuary, or in Scotland near the modern city of Dumbarton. tn a revised edition of the Book of Holidays, his birth year is placed by modern Catholic scholars as A.D 385. and the year of his death as A.D. 461. The saint’s British name, according to The World Book, is said to have been Sucat and Patrick is the English form of his Latin name. Patricius. Another inquiry this week regarding removal of trees from the woods near the high school, and we repeat, the Lakeland school board is not out to destroy the woods on the school property, that they, on the other hand, are attempting to conserve the trees growing there Removal of certain trees would seem necessary as they are preventing the young from

growing, and others have long reached their maturity. To date, no decision has been made as to which trees, if any. will be cut. A state forrester has been contacted to check for conservation purposes. O. C. Butt was one concerned citizen on this matter, asking. "Why do these trees gotta go?” It seems to me they should be plantin' instead of cuttin'. added Butt, and we hope we have answered his question. Ken Schernekau, owner of Ken's Oswego Super Market, is making things easier for his customers On a recent Tuesday night he had the Leesburg volunteer firemen to come out to burn down an old two-story’ frame house just west of his store to

make room for a 75-car parking lot. In the house, they found a large part of it made out of logs. Ken said it was one of the first houses ever built in Oswego, thinks it might even be 125 years old. Stiver’s General Store in NewParis. now marking its 50th anniversary, has a long family history, dating back to December 20. 1920 when the late William Stiver and two sons. Irvin and Ora, opened the business. William died in 1938. and Irvin and Ora continued the business under the name of Stiver Brothers. Then. Ora purchased Irvin’s interest in the business in 1952 and changed the name to Stiver’s General Store. Irvin died in 1959.

Operating the store continuously, either with his father and-or brother, since 1920 has been Ora Stiver, who doubled as New Paris postmaster. After 27 years at the latter job, he retired as postmaster in 1961. Ora is still active in the store, as he is approaching his 76th birthday, in spite of a recent illness and hospitalization that sidelined him for a brief time. Helping as bookkeeper is Ora’s daughter Geraldine — widow of the late Elkhart county auditor Bill Bigler. She has worked in the store “since I was 10 years of age," she says. She’s also substitute postal clerk. A son. Stanley Stanford Stiver (now there’s a name), who is with the Federal Aviation Agency, spends a lot of time around the New Paris store, doing whatever has to be done on his off hours. Maurie Kroh has only nice things to say about the job Bob Day is doing as “tail twister’’ for the Lakeland Kiwanis club which meets for breakfast each Monday morning at North Webster. Syracuse shoe retailer and Mrs Doug Pilcher feel good ’about the Monday morning news that the brother of their son-in-law. Stan Perzanowski, rookie pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. was the winning pitcher against the Kansas City Royals at Sarasota, Fla., on Sunday.

The First Notional Bank of W arsaw /■■■ ' ' ■ s Milford Branch Expresses its deepest gratitude to the citizens of the community and law inforcement officers for the cooperation and assistance following the recent hold up.

The Tom Perzanowskis reside on Papakeechie Lake. <5 Stan is moving up fast and has a brilliant pitching future ahead of him.
