Syracuse Junior High Candy Sales Start Again this year the students of Syracuse Junior high school are holding a candy sale to raise money for the school’s athletic fund. Each year approximately 81,000 is needed to replace worn out equipment, pay referees, buy awards, and pay traveling expenses. Indiana state law forbids the use of tax money far extracurricular athletic programs so the money must be raised by other means Last year the students raised enough money during their candy sale to provide new football uniforms in addition to meeting all other athletic expenses. This year the students will be trying to raise enough money to complete the purchase of mats which can be used for the wrestling program and for the Girls Athletic association gymnastics program. The candy sale will begin an Thursday and will end next week. Prizes will be awarded to the high sellers. Last year Candy Singrey, Dave Schopf, Bill Gertsner, Rick Perry, Tonya Flowers, Ernie Plymale, and Dennis Troyer each sold over 840 worth of candy. \ Members of the PTO under the direction of Mrs. Robert Day supervise the sale and collection of money.

Christmas Bells Keep Ringing For Consumers

"Christmas comes but once a year — and a good thing too,” says father, looking at the bill. It keeps getting bigger. First there’s the Christmas tree. A fair-sized fir could be had for around 83 five years ago. This season the price is nearer 86 for the same quality, unless a family is prepared to wait till late Christmas Eve, when trees are going for a song. Decorations are getting fancier too — pricewise. Gifts for relatives and friends can easily make a 8100 hole in the average family budget, plus 85 or 86 for sending all those cards. Then there’s the turkey — around 87 for a medium-sized one. The plum pudding takes another couple of dollars — not to mention fruit, nuts, chocolates and candy. Christmas fare puts the family food bill up by half as much again. And if a party is held, there goes another ISO to 8100 for more food and liquor. It even costs more to get over a hangover. Aspirin has got up 10 or 12 per cent over the past 10 years. Though everyone has been aware of the steady rise in prices generally — around six per cent a year until President Nixon stepped in with his antiinflation wage-price freeze — Christmas spending has not been noticeably cut down. Some people — particularly among the nation’s six per cent unemployed — may decide they no longer can afford the kind of Christmas they once enjoyed. The majority, though, according to the salesclerks who serve them, are inclined to "spend as if every Christmas is their last.” Experienced, thrifty housewives start putting a little of the housekeeping money aside well in advance, or they save up their trading stamps, so that by the time Christmas approaches. the extra spending does not come as such a crunch. Christmas clubs are growing, too. They paid out 82.4 billion last season and 82.2 billion the season before. “Some customers who are careful spenders throughout the year go crazy at Christmas and put themselves up to their necks in debt,” said one retailer "Many hold bade until the last minute, then go on a frantic splurge of buying." The merchants themselves help to get things rolling with longer store hours, Sunday openings and special preChristmas sales, backed by heavy advertising in newspapers and on television. "Careful shoppers who watch for sales can still do their Christmas shopping quite economically," said a Sears sales executive. Another salesman believes that people generally have become more price conscious — even at Christmas time. "They’ll drive for miles no matter what it costs in gas if they think they’ll save a few pennies.” he said. Food has not increased so rapidly in price as other commodities, and some items cost the same, or only a few cents more than they did 10 years ago. Turkeys were selling in Christmas 1961 for 39 to 43 cents a pound and there is little difference today. In some stores they cost even less. Neither do fruit and vegetables generally show much increase in price, but some nuts are more expensive. The Sears man pointed out also that many household items bought for Christmas and costing only slightly more than in previous years have much greater value than earlier models in the service they now give. "For example a washing machine that still costs under 8300 today has improved agitation, more options with regard to cycles and other improvements,” he said. Merchants also report that although Americans are still not stinting themselves at Christmas, the money they spend goes more for useful gifts these days than for high-priced luxury items. The do-it-yo jself boom continues, and they expect a particularly good Christmas business in such items as power saws, drills and other tools for the home workshop, as well as sewing and knitting machines, electric scissors and carvers, blenders and cookers for die housewife. Educational toys also promise to be popular Christmas gifts. Parents can pay as much as 820 for toys which consist

mainly of fitting wood shapes together as a kind of instructive game. While many toys are more expensive than in earlier Christmases, manufacturers competing in similar lines have brought out cheaper models. A walking doll can still cost 812, 815 or more. But similar dolls can now be bought for much less. The same applies to transistor radios, stereo and other electronic equipment. The wider variety of models now available means a wider price range than before. Standing Room — (Continued From Page 1) . property in the area and attending the meeting, decided to continue the hearing as requested and hear remonstrations. Protest At this time, 10 letters were presented to the board from residents of the area requesting denial of the petition. Hughes added other such letters had previously been received by the board. Robert Deahl stressed congestion already in the area, plus inadequate roadway, boat traffic the park could bring about in addition to those present, proper police protection for the area, noise and sanitation for self-contained trailers. David Blaser was also a spokesman for other possible problems which could arise would the park be permitted, as was Eugene Borden, all wanting the petition hearing to be completed at the Tuesday meeting. Mrs. John Cripe, Jr., inquired as how two trailer units, already on the area in question, could be kept there as they were for the past summer if permission had not been granted. Col. Gray explained general provisions and rules as set for campers and passed by the town years prior. , Withdraws Much doubt was expressed by members of the board as to ample room for such a venture due to zoning restrictions and at this point, attorney Fraze withdrew the petition. Remonstrators in doubt as to possible forthcoming action on the same matter were advised the necessity of going through the same type legal channels as before and the public would be aware of the situation for a public hearing. Appeals board members present for the 1 meeting were Hughes, Charles Miller, William Pipp, Dee Stiver, Bill Coburn and secretary Donald Niles. VanHemert was also present.
