AROUND A 'CUfcjgtS Qi With the year’s first snow upon us, and a bitter wind howling in our ears, it’s hardly time to be talking about golf, but here's something to think about. Talks are in the preliminary ’ stages for a Mermaid Festival open golf tourney to be held Saturday, June 17, the week before the annual Festival's activities a< North Webster. If Dr. Arden Walgamuth. North Webster dentist and avid golfer, has his way at least 25 nationally known pros will be invited. "Doc*’ is slated to head up the event which Festival officials hope to make into an annual classic. The pros will be matched up with a like number of area student golfers and a certain amount of local duffers. The whole idea is to promote golf in the area, get some national publicity for the Mermaid Festival and the lakes area, and to provide several thousands of dollars for student scholarships. At the time they're talking about a SIOO entry fee, but don't let that throw you. This will include a dinner, fees, and other fringes. North Webster Lions and Festival officials, meeting last Wednesday night, put their stamp of approval on the plan, including our good neighbor Chris Schenkel. _ We could tell you where the Fevent will be held, if in fact it comes off but this would be telling too much too early. More on this later When heavy snows seemed to engulf North Webster last Thursday morning. Barb Eastlund went up town to buy some rock salt for the sidewalks around the funeral home.

Chief Orville thought she was well on her way, not knowing that she would have a blow out just north of road 6. What is a lady to do in circumstances like this, she wonders. Well, along came one of those nice Zook truck drivers, saw her plight, turned around in a driveway, came back and changed the tire for her. Now, wasn't that nice?

Seems a number of complaints have been coming in to local law officials of snowmobiles being used in the town and we are advised by Bruce Frey, town attorney, that the state law does not permit operating of snowmobiles inside town limits unless a town ordinance has been passed permitting the operation. To date, no ordinance has been passed for the town of Syracuse, and violators may be curtailed. In a recent issue under old news of remember when five years ago, we had Mrs. H.

Initial Gifts Kick Off For Hospital Held Monday

WARSAW - The Initial Gifts division of the Kosciusko Community Hospital Founders’ Fund kicked off its phase of the campaign last night at a meeting held at campaign headquarters. George H. Lenke, Jr., division chairman, thanked the assembled volunteers for accepting the responsibility of soliciting pledges from the hospital's "official family” — members of the KCH corporation and the county medical professionals. Mr. Lenke described this phase of the $1.5 million fund-raising effort as ... "critical to the total success of the campaign." He added that it is only right that those who have devoted their time to planning a new hospital should lead the way in financing its construction. The division chairman concluded, "We trust that all of the residents of Kosciusko county will join us in founding the new hospital as our answer to the need for improved and expanded health care for all." Volunteers in the Initial Gifts division, in addition to Mr. Lenke, are: vice chairmen Joseph F. Boggs, Mentone; Chester Clampitt, Jr., Atwood; Wymond B. Wilson, M. D., Mentone — captains Reverend Wayne R. Johnson, Claypool; Howard C. Silveus, Silver Lake; John Frederich, Atwood; Arch Baumgartner, Milford; Charles A. Hollar, D.D.S. Warsaw; Roland A. Snider, M.D., Warsaw; N. John Perry, Milford — committeemen Wayne Bouse, Silver Lake; Richard L. Carman. O. Warsaw; Gerald Clinker, Akron .Darrel M. Frantz, Sidney; George M. Haymond, M.

Moser, M.D., Warsaw; Richard Sasso, D.V.M., Warsaw; and Thomas D. Van Osdol, D.D.S., Warsaw. The Initial Gifts phase is scheduled to conclude in late February, and to be followed by the public phase. The proposed new 113-bed general acute care hospital will be located to the northeast of Warsaw just south of the new Route 30 By-Pass. It will feature three operating suites and an emergency operating suite, an intensive care unit for immediate and around-the-clock attention, an X-Ray department, laboratories for performing biological studies, a physical therapy center, obstetrical department capable of caring for 16 newborn, 64 medical-surgical moving to Coldwater, Mich.

THE EDITOR

No Such Thing

Dear Editor: In a news story in your paper on January 5 you quoted Byron Connolly as stating that he “defeated J. Barton Cox in a town election by paster ballot — the only such ballot to be successful in the history of the state of Indiana.” In a letter to me dated January 11, 1972 from C. Wayne Davis, chief deputy of the Indiana State Election Board, he states: “I would like to advise you that so far as I am aware NO INFORMATION is available as to the number of people elected via the paster ballot." Just where does Connolly get his information? I certainly do not claim to know everything

about elections in the thousands of town and township elections that have been held in the state since it was formed. But before I came to Syracuse in 1940 I personally knew of two such instances. This is just an effort put out by Connolly and Sharp to try to make Cox look bad and Connolly look good. There were only two things Connolly mentioned in his farewell speech: the above item and then the fact that the fire station was built during his socalled administration. Mr. Connolly had absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual work of getting the new fire station built. He most certainly did have something to do with

$150,000 loss in equipment when the old fire station burned down. Through his lack of any control over town employees, an old oil stove burner was allowed to go “full blast” all night, when ttye station had no one on duty. I am certain that the public here is tired of this rehashing of these subjects — but when a public official makes statements, even though they are untrue, there are people who believe unless some one makes an effort to correct them. It is my belief that a majority of the board that was in office until December 31 would still be in office if certain information had not been made public. They would have continued to try to cover up. Barton Cox Treated For Fall On Ice Syracuse police assisted in a call at 2:07 Monday afternoon as Price McDonald of Syracuse slipped and fell on ice at the intersection of Huntington and West Chicago streets in Syracuse. McDonald was taken by private ambulance to the office of a local physician and then to his home.
