the nation. Aside from general interest in the election, rain fell all day Nov. 7, which brought out the rural vote. As part of his pep talk to Turkey Creek township United Fund workers, Bud Smith pointed out that the Lakeland Youth Center would be receiving $5,000 from the UF this year. Recalling he was the first Youth Center director, Smith said, “I have a speech impediment: I can’t say the word ‘No’.” Robert L. Jones, president of the State Bank of Syracuse, is working on his doctorate degree in economics and is to take his exams in the near future. He teaches courses in economics at Notre Dame U. and I.U. Center at South Bend. A nice letter, signed “Give

Them All Recognition,” came to our desk, taking us to task for not printing the win-loss record of the junior varsity, stating, ‘‘Why exclude them? Those players and coach Jordon deserve as much credit as the other teams. They practiced hard and played to win also. I understood there was a new record set for points on the team. Let’s let it be known.” We couldn’t agree more, but we print only what we receive, not having a full time sports reporter on our staff. Wawasee high school may soon have to reconsider the name “Warriors” as their school’s athletic symbol. The words “Warriors,” “Indians,” “Redmen,” etc., are “out,” according to Sunday’s Parade Magazine. Parade said,” “Last spring, at the instigation of 50 native American Indian students, Stanford university discarded its Indian insignia. Recently, Dartmouth college and the University of Massachusetts followed suit. Dartmouth Indians teams are now labeled the Big Green. And the University of Massachusetts Redmen have voted to call themselves the Minutemen. “The Indian pictured on pennants and soft drink containers, connotes a false, distorted and racist picture of our Indian heritage, according to the University of Massachusetts student senate.” A sight to behold around 9:30 Thursday morning was a small deer darting across yards from W. E. Long drive to North Harrison and northward. Dale Sparklin also witnessed the animal which had been swimming in the cold water of Syracuse Lake, came ashore at

the Sparklin home, and bounded gracefully over the high white fence at the Sparklin home, and headed northerly. Mrs. William Kerfin added more to the tale when the fawn was seen in their yard around 9:15 which might explain the approximate area where the animal entered the lake waters, perhaps swimming northward to the Sparklin property. Chet Elder, chamber of commerce president, hopes to get some people together this week end to put up Christmas decorations, and he wants to light them on Thanksgiving Day. Any volunteers? See Chet. Flygirl Charlotte Kell spent Oct. 24-27 in Washington, D. C., attending the fall session of the Women’s Advisory Committee on Aviation, Department of Transportation, in the Federal Aviation Administration Building. She was one of 29 members to attend the meeting, out of the 32-woman committee. The group heard John A. Volpe, Secretary of Transportation, and John Shaffer, FFA administrator. The Earl Moneys are anxious to leave Friday for Tomah, Wise., to visit their son Pat and his family — and those three daughters! Pat is a Kinder Mfg. Co., plant manager. Daughter Debbie and her husband will come in from Cleveland to join the happy clan. Col. Joe Gray has a deep scar above his right eye but he won’t tell how it all came about. “Ask my wife,” he says, coyly, and she isn’t talking. There’s a story hidden here somewhere. Miss Katharine Rothenberger has returned from her trip abroad.

Charlie Moses (at the dispatch station) has a new winter cap, a possum cap replacing his summer one, the railroad engineering cap. With the Tuesday snow flurries and colder weather, the change was none too soon. Bank employee Theo Thomas has a sharp looking cap, one might say in Christmas colors. He smilingly admits it is warm. What Monarch employee cooked a big pot of stew for a Tuesday luncheon for fellow employees? Mental health gifts for the Fort Wayne state hospital are due in the Syracuse Mail-Journal office next Wednesday, Nov. 22. Residents of the area, old and young alike, will continue to long remember Jessie Zerbe who passed away last week end. My, how she could make that piano talk! Did you see the young miss attempting to ride the rebuilt, long, streamlined bicycle on Main street last Saturday morning? We have a feeling it was borrowed, from a brother perhaps. What young mother was seen chasing a bright orange balloon down Main street Tuesday afternoon? Whipped high in the air at the stop light, it came to rest (and was captured) in front of the ice cream parlor. Winner of this column’s “Happiest Couple of the Week Award”: “Scrappy” and Elly Graff. Al and Jean Amos are excited about a trip they plan to make in December to Rouen, France, to see their 20-year-old daughter Jeannine, a student at the U. of Rouen, just north of Paris. They will fly to London with, their two other children on Dec. 16, rent a motor home (what else?), cross the Channel with it and tour France with their children. They’ll be home January 4. Did you know Gwendolyn and Walter Williams, wife ars husband team, have written and had published quite a number of religious songs? She writes the lyrics and Mr. Williams, the music. State Police Have Bicycle Safety Film A new bicycle safety film is being released this week by the State Police for showing to community groups throughout Indiana. “According to consumer reports, bicycle sales in the U.S. now equals the number of cars being sold,” state police superintendent Robert K. Konkle said. “That makes cycling safety everybody’s business.” “On a bicycle built for you,” title of the latest state police information film, portrays the experiences of a middle-aged husband and wife who take up cycling for the first time since their childhood. Besides the obvious exercise benefits, the film emphasizes the importance of matching the rider to the right size bike, learning traffic laws that apply to cyclists, bicycle maintenance, and some common sense riding tips. Motion picture filming, Konkle pointed out, is a unique state police capability among all law enforcement. Officers of the department’s public information section write, direct, and film each production. A recent film on farm safety garnered national award honors for the state police this past summer. To see the new film or schedule other informative programs, representatives of community organizations are invited to contact the nearest state police post for details.

MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin “The day is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the mouldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary.” So said the poet Longfellow many years ago, but how well it describes the present November days.

Do you get perturbed and pessimistic about the present-day young folks? Others have had the same problems. Take for example the case of the little boy who didn’t say his first word until he was three. At seven, his teacher said, “Nothing good would ever become of him”. When he was 16 he left his homeland to avoid the draft. He couldn’t get a job at 19 because of his long hair and wrinkled clothes. Before he was 30, he
