AROUND w Former WHS basketball coach Vernon and Mrs. Zurcher are looking forward tea mid-summer trip to Munich, Germany, where they hope to attend at least 10 events of the Olympic Games Vern and Vera hope U> leave August 21,« arriving home September 11. Vern calls this the fulfillment of a "dream of mine." Arranging the trip is Sam Biill, track coach at Indiana university. The group will leave Chicago, make a pick-up in New York and fly directly to Munich, staying at Oberammergau, nite of the Passion Play every 10 years and located about 15 miles from Munich. Zurcher was WHS basketlaall coach from September 1968 until May 71. Editorial: It was pointed out to us that qn Monday night, March 6. 150 men and women (mostly women)' attended the first meeting of the weight watchers club at the Youth Center, yet only 35 attended the drug meeting at the school. Does this tell you anything? Warsaw Major Mike Hodges telis us the By-Pass around Warsaw is scheduled to open in August. Also, the Syracuse Palace of Sweets will open about April 1. Gene Berghom, owner, han had nothing but success with his first emporium at North Webster. He is to be complimented for wliat be has done with the building on Main street in Syracuse which formerly was the site of a pool hall. If you like it, drop in and tell Gene so. Everett Ketertng, a real native of the area, showed us nn advertisement dated Saturday. Oct 7,1 tn. — M years ago — when he opened a grocery store ut 1633 East Ewing. Ave., South Bend. He says he built the building, and it is still is use oa the same site. A large loaf of bread was 84 cents, two cans of pink salmon were 25 cents, a can of sweet corn 10 cents, and three bars ci Palm Olive soap were 25 ceniis. The store also advertised "strictly fresh country lard and eggs at all times." The annual music festival of the Lakeland Community School Corporation Friday nigh t at the high school, with nearly 1.266 students participating, was superbly presented nnd the standing ovation at the conclusion of the program was certainly a must.

When the session met the following Monday, 23 more new members enrolled and weight loss was determined at 316 and three-fourths pounds.

Syracuse town attorney Bruce Frey, in a public statement, said area 2 of the town's annexation plans would be completed by April 1 — "hopefully." He said the main objector, the Weatherhead Company, has withdrawn its objections, and at this point objectors neither have the numbers or represent the amount of taxable valuation to thwart annexation plans. Area 2 lies south of town and includes Wawasee Village and an area up to the high school road. Attorney Frey said Weatherhead’s objections arose from "a misunderstanding." Minor smoke and Tire damage was done in the kitchen of the Noble Blocker home at 301 S. Lake street, Syracuse, early Saturday evening when some bacon grease caught afire.

SIGN OF SPRING — Monday, March 29, was the first official day of spring and mild weather swept over the land in keeping with the season, although the mercury dropped appreciably today (Wednesday). One sure sign of spring is seeing farmers plowing in their fields. This began a week ago in earnest. Shown here Is Milford farmer Carlton ("Cap") Beer who resides on the Milford-Syracuse road just east of Milford. With his son Fred, a Wawasee high school senior, Carlton farms over 706 acres of land, and to a large dairy farmer.

Nothing but good has been heard here from area persons attending the Sonny and Cher show at the coliseum in Fort Wayne on Sunday. Parking — (Continued From Page 1) dertake any major program. He asked SCDC members why they didn’t use some of their money to work on the parking problem. Jones said, "We have only so much seed money’ and it must be used for building, and that anyway parking is a town problem.” Town clerk-treasurer Betty Dust told the group when the Pickwick Lounge was in its heydey, patrons used to park on South Main street as far as her home. She said parking meter funds are used for street purposes and that there is no separate fund set aside for offstreet parking. Improvement Plans Tom Tuttle said the Pickwick Block would be rebuilt in two years and the buildings from the bank to the library would all be rebuilt in five years, adding that more parking is a "must” in this improvement program. George Bushong, a SCDC member and owner of an uptown barber shop, reminded town board memb/rs that new businesses and merchandise in

these stores would generate added revenue for the town coffers. Bill Cable, another SCDC member, asked why the present Main street parking lot could not be made into a two-level lot, with certain improvements such as grading and landscaping. "It would double its capacity," he said, "and it lends itself to a twolevel concept.” Pat McCarty said an investigation revealed a three-level parking lot to accommodate 130 cars would cost $256,000, and that local land can be purchased for one-tenth this cost. Tuttle asked for stiffer parking fines for on-street parking, violators. He cited the heavy fines being assessed in cities. He said this would provide added revenue to go toward more offstreet parking. A Serious Problem It was noted by several board members that the town is without ample funds to attack the problem as it should be attacked. There was agreement, however, that it is a problem that must be solved if the uptown area is to grow and flourish. It is a problem found in all towns, large and small, with the advent of the automobile. The town of Syracuse is on the right track in trying to revitalize its uptown area, and ample parking is certainly part of the solution. The new Syracuse town board was elected with the promise of solving some of the problems the community faces, and the Syracuse Community Development Corporation has

handed it one of its most knotty, and pressing problems for consideration. Attending the meeting were town board members Tom Prickett, Darrell Grisamer, Noble Blocker, and Lou Kuilema, clerk-treasurer Betty Dust, town attorney Bruce Frey; Syracuse Community Development Corporation members Robert Jones, Tom Tuttle, Jack Alfrey, Ralph Thornburg, George Bushong, Lola Pinney, Bill Cable and Pat McCarty. Junior Youth Group Expands Due to a tremendous increase in attendance, the Junior Church of God Youth Advance group has been divided into thi4e groups with 35 listed as the average attendance. New groups and sponsors are grades six and seven, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Stutzman; grades four and five, Melinda Moore and Gary Firestone; and grades two and three, Mrs. Ralph Bushong. Activities of the C.G.Y.A. include parties, trips, and youth rallies. The group won the attendance banner at the 1971 spring and fall rallies. LAKELAND LOCAL { The H. A. Bursons have returned to their Syracuse home from their winter home at Manistee, Mich.

'The Kid Is Coming Home'

(EDITOR’S NOTE — The following form letter was mailed to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Vanlaningham of Milford by their son, Larry, who is serving in Viet Nam.) Dear Family, Friends, Civilians, and Draft Dodgers. In the very near future, the undersigned individual will once more be in your midst, dehydrated but happy, to resume his place in “THE WORLD.” In making your joyous preparations to welcome him back into organized society, you might take certain steps to make allowances for the tropical environment which has been his home for the past six months. In other words, he might be a little Asiatic from the Vietnamitis and overseasitis and should be handled with extreme care. A little time in the land of the Big PX will cure this, however. Therefore, show no surprise if he looks around for his steel pot when offered a chair, insists on carrying his own tin can to the dinner table, or wakes you up in the middle of the night for guard duty. Keep cool when he pours gravy on his desert or mixes peaches with his mashed potatoes. Take it with a smile when he insists on digging up the garden to fill sandbags for the bunker he is building. Be tolerant when he takes his blanket off the bed and puts it on the floor to sleep on. Abstain from saying anything about powdered eggs, dehydrated potatoes, fried rice, malaraia pills, fresh milk, or ice

Also, if it should start to rain, pay no attention to him if he grabs a towel and a bar of soap and runs outdoors for a shower. When in his daily conversation he utters such things as "Sin Loi,” “Choi Oi,” "te te,” “Beaucoup," and “same same,” just be patient. Simply stay calm if by chance he says "Numbah 10,” because it means nothing more than "bad news.” Do not let his colorful descriptive language surprise you and don’t let it shake you if he picks up the phone and yells “Long Binh, Sir,” or says “Roger out,” for goodbye or simply shouts "Working.” Never ask why the Jones’s son

held a higher rank than he did, and by no means mention the term EXTEND. Pretend not to notice if at a restaurant he calls the waitress “Mama-San" or uses his hat for an ashtry. He will probably keep listening for “Homeward Bound” to sound off over AFVN, and will be baffled by the choice of radio and TV r stations. If he does, comfort him, for he is still reminiscing. Above all, keep in mind that beneath that tanned and reggedZ* exterior there is a heart of gold. Treat him with Kindness, Tolerance and Tender Loving Care, and you will soon find him to be the same Happy-go-Lucky guy you knew and loved.
