THE MAIL-JOURNAL—WecL, April 12, 1972

BajaSJf§ The new Syracuse Palace of Sweets had an exceUent grand opening Friday and Saturday, and both Gene and Sheila Berghom were pleased with their acceptance in the Syracuse community. In fact, they were ready to open on Thursday, and so they did open for a while, but their ribboncutting was held on schedule at 10 a.m., Friday with all local dignitaries participating. A long line was waiting outside Friday morning for the opening. The appointments of the inside of Uie unique little emporium are just wonderful, and the waitresses are dressed in a most fetching manner. While old time music is being ground out on an equally old time player piano, waitresses are seen scurring around delivering the most unusual and exotic dishes to chop-smacking young customers. And not all of them are young, either Most of the dishes are of ice cream, although they do serve sandwiches, coffee, etc. The place is reported to be doing a brisk lunch business. '[he real biggie, though, is a “J. Edgar H." No one can be sure how the name came about, but is a real comer. It amounts to a banana split, and three (yes, 3) sundaes — all in one Price: $1.95. $1 90 "Try one. You’ll like it.” so says Gene. The North Webster lions are planning a merchants’ building at their fairgrounds west of the

Overheard at Syracuse Palace of Sweets: One young fellow to another, "What happened to that girl you met at the blood hank?” Reply, “She wasn’t my type."

The semi-annual antique show is on this week end at Notre Dame Many have mourned the death of Ligonier’s John Gangwer who died recently at the age of 95 after being a patient for only one day at the hospital. Well-known by many, he was considered a living legend of the area, astounding many with his knowledge, vitality, and ambitions. An interesting item under Do You Remember When in the spring issue of the Kosciusko county historical bulletin reads: Last Saturday night Mr. Lapp shut the water out of his mill race at Syracuse, when it was discovered that the race contained a large number of fish About 20 citizens armed with rakes, hoe and shovels killed about 325 pounds of fish in a short time. (IN 4-18-1872) Another article in the historical bulletin tells of the slide of life by C. B. Miller of Waterloo from the top of the standpipe at Syracuse, and also dove into the race, meeting with an accident when

one of the stakes gave way and he fell 20-feet during the July 4 carnival in the community. The Waterloo man underwent brain surgery in Chicago where he died a short time later. The year, 1904. —o— The ducks in the channel outside the window of the Frog Tavern seemed to be enjoying the downpour of unseasonable snow < on Friday.

The camera caught the ducks, but the snow flakes (all but one) eluded our shutter. Lawrence Thwaits was in Florida a week ago to complete a rigid course in instrument flying to qualify for an instrument rating Included in the party of four was J. B. Cox who visited a grandson on the east coast. Bob and Pat Dean can be proud of son Charles who was credited last week for single-handedly capturing a robbery suspect during his lunch hour from college at Indianapolis. Anyone interested in playing “fast pitch’’ softball with the Warsaw Industrial League? Doug Pilcher is putting such a team together, with first practice at 3 p m Sunday at the junior high diamond. Doug also reminds us that higher shoe prices are due to a shortage of hides in the U.S.. and not a matter of retail merchants indiscriminately raising their prices. He points (Hit that hide prices have risen 100 per cent since August 15 when Phase I started. Foreign countries are raiding the of hides, he says, Argentina, second largest hide producer, has practically put on an embargo on exported hides, with other countries coverging on the U.S. market. He added that foreign buyers have the advantage of currency revaluation which makes their money worth more here. Remember that, the next time you buy a pair of shoes. Leßoy Sweatland has begun manufacturing 18-foot travel trailers in the old Pizza plant south of town.

A former student of the late Mary (Mrs. Winston) Gants of Syracuse, Phil Troyer, son of the Quis Troyers, after receiving a picture recently of his former fourth grade teacher took time out from his teaching duties at Hesston college, Hess ton, Kansas, to write to Mr. Gants and a portion of the letter follows: “Os all my grade school teachers, your wife and Mrs. Meredith (Ruth or Mrs. Merton Meredith of Syracuse) stand out as the warmest and most understanding. “There are many of us who will benefit the rest of our lives because of them." AEB will be taking a little ribbing at the local fire and police station. Seems that while covering an early morning picture-story in town, he exited from the fire station at about the same time the flag pole at the station collapsed. Overheard: One man to another. ”1 see they're going to make another trip to the moon. I wonder why.” Second man, “I dunno, but I guess they have to take those rocks back.” R. G.

Augsburger — (Continued From Page 1) for voting against a bill in the last session that would grant the vote tq 18-year-olds. “If we are going to grant 18-year-olds the right to drink, we should attach the responsibility of adulthood with it,” he added. He claimed the bill was not inclusive enough to suit him. Coming back to property tax relief in a question and answer session, senator Augsburger said the people should have the right to vote on how they want their local tax dollar spent. As such, he said, he would favor the referendum system on school expenditures such as a number of neighboring states have. He said he would be willing to introduce a bill in the next session of the legislature to this effect, knowing full well it would meet the opposition of the Indiana State Teachers' Association and the state School Board Association. Augsburger shied away from any comment concerning the chances of the three GOP gubernatorial candidates in their bid for nomination at the June convention, stating, “I have to remain neutral in this. After all, I have my own campaign to conduct.” Chicken Barbecue MAD members discussed the Memorial Day chicken barbecue, and voted to have Robert Friend of Goshen barbecue the chickens. It will be held on the school grounds from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, May 29, following the traditional community Memorial Day parade and cemetery services.

His committee plans to go to the next town board meeting to ask the town to participate in the campaign. MAD’s participation in forming a local,senior citizens group was also discussed.

Phil Beer, reported on his housing committee, told the group some of the problems he has run into in pushing new home construction in the city limits of Milford.
