street, has been sold to the E. J. McQuillians and they have made their move. A nice new exterior is becoming evident at Jay’s Realty. Further south, a nice new gas island at the Heyde Station. Former Syracusean Keith Cripe of Saint Cloud, Fla., is visiting in the area having come to Indiana due to ill health of his mother, former Syracusean also, Mrs. Bert (Hattie) Cripe of the Masonic home at Franklin. Mary and Johnnie Kimble of the Kale Island Beacon are making plans for a brief winter trip to the Canary Islands, located off the coast of Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. Don’t be surprised to hear more about a proposed type shopping center to go*m Wawasee Village, to include a large grocery store, laundromat and drive-up bank. Plans are taking shape, but it is too early for a formal announcement. Corky Wong watched as SCUBA divers received certificates Monday night. Asked if he took the course, Corky said, “Heck no. I get the shakes taking

a t bath.” Charles E. Rock, Jr., 5M South Front St., Syracuse, is an antique car buff, and Is proud of his latest possession. a 3-passenger 1947 Studebaker Champion Regal Deluxe business coupe, with a new coat of paint, but it “still runs like a sewing machine.” The car was purchased July 17, 1946 by Hazel Detwiler of South Bend for $1,383.78, and has only 41,370 miles on its speedometer. Syracuse chief of police Vanderßeyden was seen Monday morning toting two bags full of small coins from the uptown parking meters. He says he makes the trip the first and fifteenth of each month, and admits that revenues have swollen since the new town board has stiffened fines and patroling of the meters. Since annexation of Wawasee Village bobbed up in the news again, some uptowners, mad about the meters, said they will insist that the new town board jdace parking meters in front of stores in the Village. An unkind cut came from Turkey Creek township trustee Joe Shewmon concerning the

recent town board, and he said he didn’t mind being quoted. He said they were guilty of the three S’s; Stupidity, Senility, and Stubborness. And, he added, the present town board is not much better. Joe Thornburg probably won’t admit it, but he was the apparent proud new grandfather Monday (with a wide smile when admitting the name selected was James Joseph) when telling daughter Barbara had a son in the early morning hours, and Grandma Thornburg “winged” her way to Oklahoma with arrival time around 10:45 a.m. Halloween is still over threeweeks away but the TPing is already evident on North Shore Drive of Syracuse Lake. One night of Trick or Treating is again in effect, according to the police chief, and will be on Halloween night, October 31. A lot of good eatin’ seems to be on the agenda the night of the Homecoming at the school. Last week the youth center announced plans for a chicken barbecue and this week the Calvary church announced a Jonah club fish fry.

Mary Swager, girl Friday at First Charter Insurance, is leaving Friday with hubby Bob for a two-week vacation with her sister at San Diego. En route they want to visit Las Vegas briefly. Admonished by her boss John Walker to stay dear of the gaming tables, John said, “Always remember the fellow went to Las Vegas in a SIO,OOO Cadillac and left in a $60,000 Greyhound bus.” John and Nancy Glon, owners of the area’s newest furniture store, like to toy with names. Hiey are thinking of using a slogan like “You’ll like our GUFF,” the GUFF standing for Glon’s Unusually Fine Furniture. They also have a dog they call “Dog.” Laity Sunday To Be Observed At Church Os God October 8 The Syracuse Church of God will observe Laity Sunday this Sunday with a special worship hour featuring lay speakers representing various groups in the church.
