<CrjzinJS§| AROUND. JRjfcjT : waß This column ran across a bit of 1 local history last week when we were told of an old building being tom down on road 6. several blocks west of the 6 and 13 road ( junction, on the north side of road 6. I The building, shown here, is 1 obviously an old log cabin' that I was al one time covered with siding, and later covered with red asbestos shingles. We were told the lasLkrpwrr'’ owner was Louie Depree, now of Mishawaka, and that his mother Jennie and her son Virgil, both now deceased, last lived there The present owner, and we failed to find out who it is, was going to tear down the old 18 by 18 building when he discovered it ’ was a log cabin. It's really hard to tell the age of the old structure, but it could exceed the 100-year mark by many years. These buildings have become valuable to students of history who like to restore and relocate them An example is the two-story log , building relocated on the grounds ( of the Mk M Restaurant south of ( North Webster. Frank Magee and his wife Mary are great gardeners and I have a fondness for raising i dahlias. * I I The Magees own the Magee I Pottery just north of North n Webster, but live on the north shore of Syracuse Lake. In their Syracuse Lake yard the Magees have over 40 different varieties of dahlias, most of them I foreign imports from Japan, ( Holland. England, and Australia. They also have a rose garden in which they have IS* hybrid tea roses.

To win the Chevrolet, one had to be the first hole-m-one on 140yard No. 5 during that day’s play. The golfer we have in mind, shot with an iron, his ball landed past the hole, spun back to hit the pin, then ‘deflected, coming to rest about six inches from the hole. Well, that was close, but not >dose enough. A note this week informed us of the death of Edward L. Strieby of Chicago and well-known in the Syracuse area. The writer, Donald E. McClintic of 2440 Monte Vista St., Pasadena, Calif., said "Ed Strieby was a dear friend of many people and a great booster of Syracuse and surrounding lakes. We spent 10 days together visiting Syracuse and Lake Wawasee in June of this year. Every so often a rumor seems to start that Dr. Herschell Coil is retiring from business, thus a call received this week that the rumor overheard in a local beauty salon saying he was selling his Main street building and retiring, informed us he definitely is not. Wife Annabelle and assistant Gai Friday, says he plans to continue in his optical business. We wish Ken Harkless could hear many of the grand remarks and see the many individuals passing through our Syracuse office for a view of his wall painting. Don’t forget the regular monthly meeting of the local drug committee at the high school, room 300. Monday night. Oil painting classes sponsored by the Syracuse Leisure Painters. begin a ten week series, Friday, Sept. 10. in the scout cabin at Syracuse Weekly lessons will be conducted from 7 to 10 p.m. for adults and teehagers by Martin and Margi Stevens of Indiana and Texas School of Art for Adults. Rep. Otis Bowen of Bremen begged off from giving his candidacy for governor of Indiana. but not without a playful glint bi his eye. He said city elections are on right now. and nothing bothers city candidates more than having candidates for state offices overshadow them al this time. Which could be interpreted to mean the field will be wide open after the November 2 city elections. The good House speaker has appeared before Syracuse Rotarians before and always comes off well. The following paragraph is a parting shot in the Sept. 7 Roto News, edited by Glen La prison for the Syracuse club: “It hasn’t been so many years ago that heaven was alleged to protect the working girl. Nowadays, it takes a wage-hour,

unemployment compensation, social security, health insurance, and a pension!” What young married couple had a “back to school brunch” for other young /narrieds Sunday, numbering ablaut 60 in all? Former Thomas store manager Fred Steadman now has his own fabric fashion business at Kendallville. New Policy At Pickwick Theatre The management of the Pickwick Theatre at Syracuse announced this week a new policy for Sunday showings which will take effect for the first time on Sunday, Sept. 12. Realizing the need for an entertainment and educational operation such as the theatre to remain attuned to the work patterns of the surrounding community, the Pickwick management felt it necessary to change the Sunday schedule. Beginning September 12, the theatre boxoffice will open at 4:30 p.m., with the first show starting at 5 p.m. and a second showing starting at the time advertised for the appropriate picture (usually around 7 p.m.). Most shows should be out no later than 9:30 p.m. on Sunday evenings. Boxoffice and showtimes for Friday and Saturday will remain unchanged with the boxoffice open at 6:30, shows at 7 and around 9 p.m. When asked to explain further, owner Leon Vance replied, “In keeping with out policy to provide a theatre for fine family entertainment, we have initiated this move as a response to community needs, particularly to those of the young people. The new Sunday show policy means that parents may attend a movie with theier children on Sundays and feel confident that they will return home early enough to get the kids to bed and off to school on time the next morning. We sincerely hope that all the members of our community understand this and that the idea is as successful here as it has been in other communities having similar school and work orientations.”

Rep. Bowen — (Continued From Page 1) “no comment” to a question concerning the time he would announce himself for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. He did say city elections were on at the present time, “and if city candidates hate anything it is to be overshadowed by candidates for state office making announcements of their candidacy.” He did state, however, that “if I did not admit that the thought hasn’t crossed my mind. I would be less than candid with you.” Rep. Bowen has been considered as a front runner for his party’s nomination for governor for some time, and has latched onto the popular tax reform issue to lead him to the nomination. Guests at the Tuesday meeting included Harold Wantz of Newcastle, Joe Howell of Muncie and Richard Rudell of Indianapolis. Syracuse Library Notes

The Beginning Os Hope

Dear Editor: This week marks the Beginning of Hope for 15 Social Service Agencies who are financially dependent on the United Fund of Kosciusko county. The United Fund goal this year is $172,500 — an increase of 10 per cent over last year’s goal. Most of our United Fund contributions are directed toward the development of character building youth programs — the Boy Scouts. Girl Scouts. Bakers Boys club, council for the Retarded and the YMCA. These agencies will come in contact with thousands of our young people in this county this year. To give to the United Fund is like saying, “I have faith in our young people today and I’m willing to invest in their future.” For others the Beginning of Hope may be found in the personal interest and help of a trained counselor working at the Salvation Army, The American Red Cross, or the Mental Health

Association. These are not the only agencies your United Fund supports, but they are typical representatives of your United Fund gift. The harvesting of crops is synonymous with fall. I have noticed that the farmer, no matter how good or bad his harvest, sets aside a portion of his harvest and plows it back into the very soil his crop came from. He believes in his farm and is willing to invest in its future. This month you, as citizens of Kosciusko county, will have the opportunity to plow back a portion of your harvest and invest in the county’s future through the United Fund. We are asking hourly paid employees to give one hour’s pay per month and salaried employees to give .6 of one per cent of their annual income. WON’T YOU PLOW BACK YOUR SHARE AND MAKE THE UNITED FUND’S GOAL A REALITY THIS YEAR?
