The hat caught on and will be worn for that added “spirit” at athletic functions of the school. A nice railing has been installed at the steps area from the uptown parking lot to the lower, and town employees were out early this week with salt to put on parking lot steps and sidewalks. Ice fishing enthusiasts were ready for the first freezing of ice and it looked like a small fishing village Friday morning on the channel at the curve on Pickwick Road, Kale Island. The S. & N. Plumbing and Heating Co., in business in the Syracuse area since 1969, is quitting business, according to Roy Waterson, when existing contracts are fulfilled. The company was begun in the Pickwick Block, on Huntington street in 1969 by Roy and son Dick, with Art joining the firm January 1, 1971, only three days out of the service. He was in Korea two years. He joined the firm on the morning the Pickwick Block went up in flames. Remember? Dick has joined General Electric in Fort Wayne as a

plumber in their maintenance department, and Roy and Art are going with Becker A Sons, Ligonier electrical, plumbing and heating contractors. Art joined the firm in July, working on a new Starcraft company building in Topeka, and Roy will soon join him. Meanwhile Polita (Mrs. Roy) Waterson is the capable waitress at the Syracuse Case. Charles Ketering wrote in ISM: There are people who make things happen; there are people who watch things happen; and then there are people who wonder what happened. Tom and Nancy Prickett are still talking about a northern Indiana mayors’ Christmas party they attended Sunday, Dec. 3, at the L. & H. Inn at Mishawaka. Hostess was Mishawaka mayor Margaret Prickett, the only woman in U.S. history to be elected mayor of a major city for three terms. To hear Tom and Nancy tell it, a good time was had by all. Incidentally, Margaret Prickett is currently president of the Indiana Republican Mayors’ Association. It’s only in the rumor stage at the present time, but it continues to persist: that the Pickwick Lounge liquor (by the drink) license will be activated in Wawasee Village in a building to be built for just that purpose east of the Sportsman Center on the Pickwick Road. The annexation of that area can be a determining factor in the building of the new building. Santa Claus is arriving in Syracuse this Saturday and will hand out treats at the show after the 10 and 1 o’clock free shows, then will be at the library to pass out goodies from 3 to 5. Bitter cold winds and snow squalls did not dampen spirits of persons planning to attend the annual garden club’s bell walk Sunday with some coming from South Bend and Muncie areas. Over 300 individuals visited the five homes, three at Syracuse and two at Cromwell, with each home displaying each individual’s own yule ideas. Friends of Blanche Hay will be happy to know she is expected back in Syracuse the last of December (from the sunny west, no less) and will be staying indefinitely in the home of Dorothy Smith.

NIPSCo’a Jay Peffley and brothers Bob and Dale, and their wives, took the brothers’ dad, Bert Peffley of Goshen, out to dinner Saturday night to observe his 85th birthday. Johnnie and Mary Kimble of the Kale Island Beacon and the Jack Bakers of Anderson and Syraucse Lake are home from a brief trip to the Canary Islands. They arrived in the European resort islands on Sunday, a day following the tragic plane crash of an Iberian jetliner where all were reported dead. Local friends of the two couples were concerned when first details of the accident came in for fear they were on the ill-fated liner. Wyoming residents and former Syracuseans Max and Betty Leamon are home for the holidays having arrived this week at the hone of son Ed and family on Boston street If you should hear organ music playing while driving by the Glen Davis home in the village area, artistic June (Mrs. Glen) has been at it again. In the Davis front window can be seen a young girl playing an organ and music has been piped to the outside for listening enjoyment. Betty Kline and Peck also have a nice showy outside arrangement attracting your attention when driving by on Syracuse Lake’s north shore. Mrs. Byron Connolly was seen with a clever holiday purse Tuesday and one would probably be correct in assuming it was one of her creations. The chief of police had a number of handbooks Tuesday, the first annual safety manual of the county fraternal order of police, lodge 149. Hints and tips are given on safety and first aid, how to tell your blood alcohol level after drinking and a complete section on drug abuse. Slightly mixed were the local police officers, reserves and radio operators, with several names even omitted, however, the police and fire department phone numbers were correct NEVER TOO LATE TO WINTERIZE I|> never toq jate to winterise your car advises the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. If you have your car properly prepared for the winter, you will improve your chances of having trouble-free driving during the coming months.

Ambulance — (Continued From Page 1) said “no.” Nominate Slate Paul Brembeck nominated the following date of officers to be voted on at the January meeting: President, Arch Baumgartner; vice president, Phil Beer; secretary, Evelyn Orn; and treasurer, Richard Sharp. A letter of commendation is to be sent the town board for its early putting up of Christmas decorations, and in almost the same breath MAD is asking the town board to sand town streets on some of its most precarious corners. C. J. Myers said several highly used alleys should also be sanded. Presiding officer John B. Augsburger said a recent survey made by MAD showed 200 residents living in the area surrounding Milford that is being proposed for annexation. He called this figure “sufficient” in accordance with the state’s annexation laws. This figure has been provided the Milford town board in their effort to counter a remonstrance to their annexation ordinance. Paul Brembeck is working on details for the annual Citizen of the Year banquet to be held late in February. Gourmet shops cook up some gift ideas Any gourmet cooks on your Christmas gifts list? If so, there is a whole exciting world of accessories to gift even the most discriminating chefs. Among useful items are: professional-type Wok sets, for preparing oriental dish- ‘ es; a two-way bread-maker kettle; souffle dishes; noodle makers; and a folding omelet pan.

Why pick chimney? St. Nick has reasons

Why does Santa come down the chimney? Os all the traditions connected with Santa, his unconventional mode of entry might seem the most puzzling. Surely the magical gift giver, who has the power to drive reindeer through the skies and who can cover the earth in a single night, could find an easier way to enter a house. Like most of the lore of Christmas, Santa’s choice of the chimney has several explanations. For instance, legend has it that the original Santa, St. Nicholas, presented three maidens with gifts of gold for a dowry. Modestly concealing his generosity, he tossed the gold down a chimney, in secret. Another theory claims that Santa copied a goddess, who was the first to deliver gifts via a chimney. According to this legend, when the Vikings of Norway celebrated the Yuletide or winter solstice in their great halls, a festive feature of the occasion was the appearance of the goddess Hertha in the fireplace.

As her name indicates, Hertha was goddess of hearth and home, and most appropriately arrived byway of the chimney, to deliver her Yuletide gifts of good luck and good cheer. Still another explanation takes a practical point of view. Housewives of Northern Europe, cleaning house for the New Year, used to coax children to help with the chores by saying, “Let’s clean the hearth. St. Nicholas will soon be coming down the chimney.’’ The children willingly set to work, and thus, says legend, a tradition was born. Even when he takes to helicopter or jet plane, Santa delivers his gifts byway of the chimney! Yodeling yule An old custom of the Austrian Tyrol is the Christmas yodel. Traditionally, the Yuletide yodel—a song without words — may be improvised, or it may be based on the tune of a familiar carol.
