the Syracuse Primary Mother’s club did at the Easter egg hunt on Saturday afternoon. It was held at the Smith-Walbridge camp and all the children were {resented with a little cake with a baby chick inside. Planning for the hunt was done by Mrs. Douglas Schmahl, Mrs. Bruce Mills, Mrs. Charles Penn and Mrs. James Adams. Winners were named in four categories and prizes were certificates for ice cream cones. There were a lot of happy little girls and boys. Gene and Corinne Ludwig are making young entrepreneurs out of their three children by giving them the responsibility of running Jay’s Driving Range, which the Ludwigs have leased for the summer months. The youngsters are Liz, 16, Sam, 14, and Pete, 12, and they have the job of making the place operate on a paying basis. “We’re going to stay out of it,” Gene says, adding that the young business folks will have to sink or swim on their own. We’ll bet they’ll swim, if they are anything like their ambitious

parents. The driving range was built several years ago by the late Jay Rigdon. The Ludwigs have leased it for the summer from Mrs. Rigdon. * Some ground preparation is being done on the land just west of the new Hook drug store on Pickwick Road. More on this later. r Speaking of Hook drugs, the rumor was heard on the street in North Webster several times lately that this fast-expanding Hoosier drug chain plans to erect a store there. John R. Walker continues to be “shook tip” as to why his well lighted American flag in front of First Charter is the object of pranksters. Sunday night the second flag came up missing. More than a little put out, John is offering a 125 reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thieves. Rumor persists that the school board is going after a “big name” to fill the spot of WHS basketball coach recently vacated by Tom Spear. Look for an announcement most any time now. Harry VanHemert is emphatic in telling this column that he has not resigned as plan commissioner for Syracuse, in spite of rumors making the rounds that he has resigned. In a heated conversation with town board president Lew Kuilema on Friday, VanHemert

threatened to resign, but stopped short of actually resigning. VanHemert has been receiving heat from the Plan Commission of late, and charges of malfeasance of office plus charges of his holding two “lucrative jobs’’ have been swirling around his head. A number of onlookers were a bit disturbed Monday afternoon wondering if Tom (Prickett) would need a little push to start his “Chickbloom” truck. Luck was with him, however, parked near the light in the 100 block of North Huntington, when a slight roll backward put the engine in contact. Thus, with a wave of the hand, he and his passenger were off. J. & D. Ceramics are announcing a gigantic 20 per cent off greenware sale this week, starting on Thursday. If you have not made a visit to the new This *N* That Shop south of Syracuse yet, you might be in for some real surprises. Maxine Yoder is announcing many starting classes at The Fabric Nook, for the Sew-ciety. The sharp noise Tuesday morning on Main street, Resembling a gun shot, brought many to the street — to find a flat tire on a station wagon in front of Gambles. The youth of our communities had a great idea to climax National Clean-Up Week and will be cleaning roadways of the Lakeland areas this Saturday.

Let’s back them with cleaning at our homes! Have you received a parking citation lately? If so, did you read it and did it read something like this? — ‘This is not a ticket, but if it were within my power, you would receive two. Because of your bullheaded, inconsiderate, feeble attempt at parking, you have taken enough room for a 20-mule team, two elephants, one goat and a safari of pygmies from the African interior. The reason for giving you this is so that in the future you may think of someone else, other than yourself. Besides, I don’t like domineering, egotistical or simple-minded drivers, and you probably fit into one of these categories. I sign off wishing you an early transmission failure (on the expressway at about 4:30 p.m.). Also, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.’ Now what law officer would put a parking violation such as this on your vehicle? Needless to say, the citation was not signed. Robert Slavens, who figured in the local news this week due to his resignation as Wabash high school principal, is remembered here as “the spanking principal,” having effectively used the “board of education” to restore discipline in the Syracuse school. Milford firm receives OK for SR 15 work Phend and Brown, Inc., Milford, has received a contract for bituminous resurfacing of state road 15 in Kosciusko county. The total length to be resurfaced. is 6.02 miles, from approximately 1.04 miles north of old US 30, north to approximately 6.85 miles south of the Kosciusko-Elkhart county line.

Leesburg man in crash Homer Ganshorn, 78, r 2 Leesburg, was driver of an auto which struck the rear of another auto being driven by Ellis D. Hunsberger, 72, Nappanee, over the week end. The accident occurred on SR 19, four and one half miles south of Nappanee. Mr. Hunsberger and his wife, Edna,69, both complained of whiplash but did not require medical treatment. The accident happened, according to investigating officer, deputy sheriff Richard Mikel, when Hunsberger slowed down for a buggy in front of him and was struck by Ganshorn. Hunsberger’s auto received $950 damage and Ganshorn’s received $575. Cited following two-car crash An accident on SR 15, one mile north of Milford, resulted in SI,OOO damage to the two vehicles involved. The autos were operated by Roger A. Cochran, 22, Goshen, and Jamison A. Prince, 57, Arcadia.

CULVER GROCERY DAMAGE — The above photo shows the interior of the Culver Grocery and residence on the Yellow Banks Road that was gutted by fire late Monday night, one of three fires that occurred the same evening at North Webster. In the photo on the right, Arnold Culver is shown looking over his building. The store is on the right and the Culver residence is on the left. Mr. Culver said at first he thought faulty wiring had started the fire, but when two other fires occurred the same night he had second thoughts about the matter. Three fires — (Continued from page 1) ster, Syracuse and Pierceton fire departments to the scene. When firemen arrived they found the interior of the store afire. An investigation turned up that the store safe, located in the office in the southeast corner of the building, was moved to the rear of the building and had been Mown open. John B. Augsburger, vice [resident of Augsburger’s, Inc., said from S4O to $45 was in the safe, and that it had been taken. The small safety compartment within the safe had not been blown open. Store manager Larry Kinsey was on hand during efforts of firemen to save the store, and he confirmed that nothing had been taken other than the small amount of money. It was only a supposition that thieves, who entered the store by a rear (west) door, were mad at not having received more cash in the break-in, and as a result they set fire to the building. Fire was started in a center aisle in front of the meat counter. John Augsburger said the store contained approximately $60,000 worth of inventory and that it was all damaged enough to make it unsalable. The full extent of the fire, smoke and water damage to the store was not readily ascertainable, but Augsburger thought walls might have been cracked by the intense heat. John Augsburger, Sr., who is the state senator representing this area in the General Assembly, motored to Phoenix, Ariz., with Mrs. Augsburger following the end of the current session late last week. His son thought he had just arrived at about the time of the break-in and fire. He notified him by telephone Tuesday morning. Other Break-Ins The Augsburger store at Syracuse has been broken into four times, and the North Web-

ster store three times, according to Mr. Augsburger. The North Webster store, opened October 7, 1971, was one of the finest stores of its kind in the Lakeland area. Plans for re-opening the store will be made later, Augsburger said. Clean-Up — (Continued from page 1) Diane Weisser will head a candidate selection committee, assisted by Mary Duncan, Doris Hollar and Carolyn Augsburger. MAD will send a representative to the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce Industrial Development Conference to be held at the Holiday Inn at Elkhart on May 17. Lt. Gov. Robert Orr will be a principal speaker at the noon luncheon. John Clay gave a financial report stating there are 17 businesses signed up for MAD membership and 19 individuals.

Tamer, 42, Leesburg, collided Wednesday afternoon on the Argonne Rd. and East Winona Ave., Warsaw. The Thomas auto was hit from behind by the Tarner vehicle with damage set at $l5O to the Thomas vehicle and only minor damage to the Tamer vehicle. Winona Lake deputy marshal Boyce Howard investigated.
