attempted to deposit a penny in a parking meter in the Main square of town (which was nearly empty of vehicles and lots of empty parking spaces) only to find the meter did not register but swallowed the penny. After a little mete r thumping and pondering, the man carefully placed a coin in the meter slot, dashed to the phone company and was back in a short time, and just as carefully retrieved his penny before entering his auto. Mrs. Ruth Mollenhour of Temple Terrace, Fla., and a daughter of Sylvester Unrue of Syracuse, sent us a clipping this week in response to a picture at the top of ‘Cruzin’ in the February 23 issue, of Main street Syracuse. Her clipping showed a picture of the old Sandusky Portland Cement plant (which we also ran in the •Cruzin’ column in February) and of Main street Syracuse in 1905.. Included in the clipping were numerous items on the town of Syracuse, founded in 1837. The following tidbit we selected regarding uptown businesses. In 1890 the village had fa population of 500 inhabitants with a lucrative retail trade. Silas Ketring, John W. Stetler and A. F Bright represented the r business in general merchandise; Harry Sterling and Isaac Ketring in groceries; M. J. Rippey, hardware; A. F. Bright, W J Brady & Son, drugs; F. M. Ihrig, A R Collarand J. Gowser, physicians; and Ray and Miles as attorneys. One would think spring is here if he happened to pass South Shore golf course last Tuesday.

She was a Coffin (•‘spelled just like the last place you'll rest," she says), and can trace her ancestory back to Ireland. She has a printed genealogy of her family, and can tell when they landed at Mantucket. Mass.. 300 years ago. She says her family Has a huge family reunion every 50 years, and laments that she missed the last one. "I don't think I’ll make the next one either.” she says. Speaking of full houses. The Weight Watchers did cone to Syracuse Monday night as scheduled and the yough center was nearly filled to capacity. We think that those in charge will be slightly more prepared for next week’s meeting. Many are thinking of starting on their spring cleaning and Kathleen (Mrs. Everett) Edgar laughingly said ladies of the Church of God have the knowhow and will gladly pass on the information if contacted . . .

Local Scene: Vivacious Dottie (Mrs. Dee) Stiver and attractive neighbor, Carolyn (Mrs. Dave) Smith, both of r 4, seen in a local case booth trying to solve the puzzle of a four-piece trick ring. A nice service being planned by the local Women’s Relief Corps when weather permits will be an inventory at the cemetery of persons buried there and lot numbers where they can be readily located by friends or relatives. Did you wonder who the men were taking pictures of the uptown area last Tuesday? We are informed they are with the parent company of United Telephone of Indiana, United Utilities, Incorporated, at Kansas City. Mo., and through interest for their many customers instigated a development program last August in possible assistance of areas in a development project such as our town is currently attempting in the uptown area. They take before and after pictures to show the transformation which comes about as towns rebuild or decorate and willingly offer suggestions of assistance if requested. Having just finished research on a similar program in Texas,, undoubtedly this town will be ‘seeing them again in the future. Syracusean Initiated Into Honor Society At Maryland College Nathaniel C.
