And speaking of North Webster, a new sidewalk is going in along the west side of the business block south of the stop light. And on the window of Lady Fair, a women’s apparel shop, is a big paper sign stating sidewalks in front of this store will be heated. This certainly has to be a “first” for the Lakeland area.

A victim of circumstances and another Palace of Sweets story is of the immaculately dressed lady enjoying a sundae in a side booth, smiling as she watched the young chap running about and shouting with a giant sundae in hand. She remained smiling, but was quite surprised, when the biggest portion of whipped cream on the top of the giant sundae decided to depart from the dish, as the waiter chanced to pass her booth. Where did the whipped cream land? On the lady, of course. It’s official. Overtime parking meter fines are now sl, instead of the previously set 25 cents. Watch for the upcoming Blue Bird candy sale.

No. they were not mushrooming, just cleaning-up Utter which amounted to several bushel, leaving the area clean and fresh with lots of violets blooming. Nice to have more interested citizens helping with clean-ups! A sight to behold around 9 o’clock Monday morning would have been the young half-grown doe swimming Lake Wawasee. Residents of the North Shore area spotted the young doe about 2,000 feet from shore and approached the seawall on the Hank Baumgartner property.

7 A Wise Decision 7 Was Timely
Dear Editor: 2 Your editorial in the MailJournal, volume nine, number 14 dated Wednesday, May 3. 1972 entitled “A wise decision” was most timely and informative. On Wednesday morning. May 3, 1972, a legal resident of the community, but a visitor to the uptown area, was partaking of a mid-morning snack at one of the local restaurants. Not keeping an accurate accounting of the time, the visitor overstayed the allotted time registered on the parking meter. This resulted in acquiring an overtime parking violation in which it was requested that the sum of $1 be placed in the envelope provided and deposit it in the box for the payment of overtime parking tickets. The request was executed. Mr. Editor, this is in direct Ernest Rollins John T. Ripley Sixth grade student, Libby Alberts, 11, Syracuse and daughter of Barbara J.

Dear Editor: Poppy Days, May 19 and 20, will soon be here. The ladies and junior members of the American Legion Auxiliary will be out selling the bright red momentos that are hand made by hospitalized veterans, so I’d like to share the following poem with your readers: IN FLANDERS’ FIELDS By Colonel John McCrae In Flanders’ fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row. That mark our place: and in the sky The larks still bravely singing fly. Scarce heard amidst the guns below. We are the dead. * Short days ago we lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders’ fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we throw / The torch — be yours to hold iC- z / high; * If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders’s fields. This bit of verse says it all, no explanation needed. Betty Dust President, Americaji Legion Aux., Wawasee Unit No. 223 You cannot expect success if it depends upon the failure of others.
