taiziNJCS AROUND. JOfcjXT /offiKga ww Q ■ I’*!! The impending gasoline shortage could have local repercussions, according to a survey of Syracuse area service stations. One station, Don’s Sunoco, 900 South Huntington, has painted a sign on their front window (see above) stating they will be closed on Sundays due to their gas" shortage. Station manager Don LeCount appears on the right in the photo and assistant Don Rumfelt is on the left. LeCount states his station will receive only 90 per cent of last year’s quota, month to month, thus allowing him only 16,000 gallons for June. “I hate to think

what will happen to my gas supply with the summer months at hand and the Mermaid Festival coming,” he said. The other I Sunoco station — Jack’s Sunoco, operated by Jack Spitler — also has a quota on which they are operating. Located at 816 South Huntington, Jack’s is open only 9 to 1 Sunday with no change on night hours. Bob Clemens, manager of Lakeland Standard at 926 South Huntington, has a June quota of 45,000 gallons, which is 100 per cent of its gallonage of a year ago. However, Bob is closing on Sundays and at 6 p.m. week days. Syracuse Texaco, operated by Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Helman at 1024 South Huntington, claim they have no gas shortage, and are operating on Sundays and week day hours as before. Across the road from Texaco is Pacer Oil Co. at 1025 South Huntington where manager Cecil Steele says he has had no gas cut and expects none. “I have plenty of gas, but need more help. That’s my problem,” he laments. More toward town, Bob’s Gulf Service at 312 South Huntington, has no gasoline shortage, according to owner-manager Bob Penick. They continue to be open Sundays and regular hours during the week. Heyde service station, at 300 South Huntington, operated by Fred Radcliffe, has no cutback on gas either, but is not open on Sundays. “The real reason,” states Mr. Radcliffe, “is that I had two serious heart attacks and I’m trying to limit my hours.”

Also up town at Auer service station at 201 East Main, owneroperator Hub Wilkinson says his station is on a gas allotment based on last year’s supply. He remains open on Sundays from 8 to 6 as usual, but closed at 6 p.m. week days. Cut most of all is the Star Auto Center, Inc., located across from Wawasee Bowl, which pumps an enormous amount of gas. They are supplied by Fort Myers of Fort Wayne, and have been cut 50 per cent according to Dick Lehman, president of the corporation which operates the station, garage and body shop. His station is closed at 6 week days and all day Sundays. Lehman claims to have a solution to all the gas shortage. He says auto manufacturers could make a carburetor that “gets 60 miles per gallon of gas.” He adds, “Any nation that can send a man to the moon can make a carburetor that gets better gas mileage.” However, he v cites snowmobiles, motorcycles and the two and three-car families as part of the cause of the gas, plus the emission control mechanism bn new model cars. The survey of lake area marinas was not nearly as extensive as that of service stations, but as near as it could be learned there is no gasoline shortage at the marinas. Bob Hecht, a regular at the Breakfast club, is being candidate to fill the vacancy on the Syracuse town board left by Lou Kuilema. Bob lives at 712 Front street and is in the right ward. The interesting part, if he maintained his residence here instead of Celina, Ohio, where he was mayor from 1963 to 1969, he would make a good man for the job. He served as mayor of the 9,000 city with excellent results and has good, solid administrative experience. O. A. Lambert, local realtor, is just back from Phoenix, Ariz., where he attended the high school graduation exercises at Acadia high, where his daughter Kimmie graduated Thursday, May 31. She is taking a job as a computer operator with Blue Cross Blue Shield. Many Lakeland sport fans are aware of the fact that Tom Spear, no longer basketball and baseball coach at Wawasee high school, won the sectional baseball tourney at Goshen and went on to win in the afternoon in the regional, but lost out in the regionals Saturday. But few know that Robert Heady, the coach who is coming here from Griffith to take Spear’s place, followed the same route in Griffith’s baseball circuit. His team won the sectional and the first round of the regional, but were topped out in the finals Saturday. This might be a local economic barometer: Supt. Don Arnold told the school board last night that 12 students dropped out during the past school year “for economic reasons.” He added that it has been easy for a student to drop out of school and get a job immediately. A year ago, however, only three dropped out for the same reasons, perhaps indicating a tighter economy a year ago. Speaking of school enrollment, Arnold also commented that Lakeland’s school enrollment is higher now than the original Purdue survey team (in 1964) said it would be, and they were considering Leesburg as part of the school corporation. Enrollment for WHS: 3,205 October 6,1972 when first figures were taken, and 3,131 at year’s end, a drop of 74.
