(especially if you are a woman) to drop in at the new Craft Collage at 613 S. Huntington St., Syracuse. Betty Blue of Waco Drive is opening a most unique shop on Thursday, designed to provide distinctive furnishings for the home. She’ll be assisted on a part time basis by her daughter, Cheri. Incidental to this is the fact that Mrs. Blue has another daughter, Teri, now Mrs. Jim Caskey of Elkhart, who was the first Flotilla Queen — 1966, we’re thinking. WHS principal Henry Smith became a student for a short while last Wednesday night at the Girls’ Sport club award night. In a game in which all participated, conducted by Jack Marlett, Smith asked a question that had just been explained, whereupon Marlett said, “Pay attention, Mr. Smith,” in real pedagogical fashion. A real site to see in the business district was Lola (Mrs.. Bill) Pinney riding her three-wheel bicycle about. Monticello publisher and Mrs. Bob Fisher will be guests at the Paul Moore home Friday. John Walker has more trouble with his flags at First Charter. He had two stolen, then offered a $25 reward for information leading to the arrest of the culprits that stole his flags.

Then, he put up the third flag, securing it with hose clamps. Monday morning he discovered this flag was gone, and he was redfaced when officer Joe Thornburg came in the door with the flag. Joe told John the top hose clamp came loose, and the flag was flopping in the wind. Joe “shinneyed” up the flag pole, took the flag down and was just returning it to John as any good Samaritan would. Jeiry Johnson is the most recent recruit at Wawasee Airport, aiming at a private plot’s license. He made his solo flight a week ago, but has no idea of going for a twin-engine license so as he could fly the Kinder Mfg. Co. plane. Jerry is treasurer of Kinder. National Postal Week came and went and almost everyone got their share of credit. One segment was overlooked, however, and those men are the foot carriers in the city of Syracuse. It came to us Tuesday as we saw Paul Yeager sloshing along in the rain going door-to-door. He was on the eight-mile route of Gene Kitson, known as city route 1. Another “old soldier” on city route 2 is Fritz Hann, with about six miles a day to cover. They deserve a tip of the hat for a job well done. We don’t know Mrs. Ross (Charlotte) Cook, but she just has to have a sense of humor — or she’s sunk. She was involved in a minor auto accident some time ago, and due to a mix-up in the office of the JP in Warsaw, the event got published three times! She’s taken a good-natured ribbing in the beauty parlor and elsewhere, and has found herself on the defensive over this whole thing. Good thing her husband is a preacher. One good thing for us: it didn’t happen in this paper. Seth Ward is not taking bids on his two old Lincoln cars. At least that is the way he told it. WHS superintendent Don Arnold read in this column that the school was looking for a “big name” basketball coach. He said at the school board meeting Tuesday night, “We don’t necessarily have big names, but we have big men.” Board member John Kroh, a big 6’4” himself, said new basketball coach Robert Heady is 6*4” and new football coach Harold Traviolia is 6’3”.

Chamber gives approval for Sunday liquor sales

During a noon dinner-meeting of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday, the group voted unanimously to provide letters of recommendation needed for applications by local qualified businesses wishing to apply for the Sunday liquor sales permit. According to the law recently passed for the Sunday sales, those wishing to apply for the permit must have letters of recommendations from local government agencies or the Chamber of Commerce. A letter of such nature was given by the town board of trustees last week for the Kale Island Beacon after receiving a request from the business. However, members of the

'Words and Music' theme for Syracuse Mothers spring party

The Intermediate Mothers club was host to the Mothers clubs spring party Monday evening at a Syracuse restaurant. The theme fa* the evening was “Words and Music.” The tables were decorated with brightly colored tree branches strung with strands of multicolored beads. A strand of beads was given to each member as she arrived. The evening was enjoyed by 76 members with the highlight of the evening being a program of readings in verse and many musical selections on the marimba. These musical selections were presented by Mrs. Myron Corll of Huntington. Mrs. Corll writes all of her own material and has appeared with her marimba on national television several times.
