baiziNJCW AROUND O A'wmF j Eh We’ve seen it happen before, but never when we had camera in hand for a candid shot. But it happened* again last week and we did have a camera in hand. It's a case where the railroad gates come down on a car or truck. Shown here is a Sylvan Mfg. Co. truck with the south gate resting gently on top. No damage, no one hurt, just an interesting photo.

NIPSCo man Ralph Hamell doesn't have a dog in his big yellow truck, in spite of the sign on front of the truck: “Beware of Dog.” r*"/ 7 Most everyone~Kno>s Jim Mench is a good radio and tv repairman, but few know he is something of a philosopher and world historian. Jim has been reading books of the Rod Sterling type on the history of the earth, and comes up with some interesting observations. One is, that there was at least one and perhaps many advanced civilizations on earth before the one we know. He said: “Think of this. Did you know you can build a modern building, and walk away from it, and in 1,000 years there will be nary a trace of it left?” Ummmmmm I Mr. and Mrs. John Price (they’re the new owners of the Lakeland Laundry and Dry Cleaners, are building a new home on Pickwick road. Chet Elder is doing the building for them. The new club manager at Maxwelton golf is tall, red-haired Keith Pedersen, arriving last Wednesday noon to take over his new assignment from Naples, Fla., where he held a similar job. Pedersen, who is 25 and a

native of Tomah, Wis., was recruited by Nelson Auer, who spent some time in Naples last winter. HHHHi LEE ANN WILLITS KH ■■ CINDY WILLITS Mr. and Mrs. Bob Willits of Lake Wawasee and their 13-year-old son Jim will have a double reason for cheering at the forthe coming Mermaid Festival Queen of the Lakes contest. The Willits have two very attractive daughters competing for the coveted beauty title. Lee Ann, 18, a recent WHS grad, is no newcomer to beauty contests. Through real hard work she came off last year as Kosciusko county fair queen, raising well over $2,000 for the county speech and hearing dinic. She will be “Miss Kappa Omicorn” sorority in the Festival competition. Her equally attractive sister, 16-year-old Cynthia (who would rather be called Cindy) will be in

there, too, as “Miss Mariner Drive-In’’ where she has worked as a car hop for the past several summers. Cindy was a B-team cheerleader last year and was chosen again this year. These look-alike girls will probably cause Festivalwatchers to do a double-take. Both are striking blondes, measure about 5’4”, and weigh 110 pounds. Perhaps the largest windows to be seen anywhere around are those being put into the new Counting House Bank and International Palace of Sports at North Webster. Three of them measure 18’8” by 16’ wide, and five. measure 18* in height by 6’4” wide. In putting them in last Monday two of the smaller windows broke and must be replaced. It will take about six weeks to get replacements from Cumberland, Md., so says Dale Simison foreman on the job. The big building measures 70 by 195 and is two stories tall, with * a tennis court on the roof. To be opened about September 1, the public has a real eye-opener coming when they see what Homer has wrought. Lakeland readers of The Goshen News will see a new face of type when they pick up their paper next Monday evening. The News will switch to “cold” type on Monday. Their editorial and classified pages have been set in cold type for several weeks. The new, electronically-set type is clearer and easier to read and is easier to set. The MailJournal has been set in cold type for four years. This week’s puzzle: What local financier was seen wondering around in his pajamas and barefeet a.m. one morning last week objecting to noises eminating from a machine in a local plant? Seems it woke the “young one” and papa couldn’t sleep. Grace Betz, Girl Friday at Thornburg’s, would like to see this column turned into an Action Line, similar to the popular column in the South Bend Tribune.

The ordinarily dapper deputy prosecuting attorney and Syracuse town attorney, Bruce Frey, with his mod hair styling and on-duty dress, is now going a step further: he’s sporting a mustache. It’s true, according to Big John Kroh, Syracuse will have fireworks this year, to be held at Syracuse city park. Tom Prickett is general chairman. Wanted: Live mice for the North Webster Lions’ mouse game on the Festival midway next week. One wiseacre told Festival secretary Barb Eastlund, “It’s easy. You just sneak up behind a mouse and catch him while he’s not looking.” Rick Goodfellow (“like in jolly good fellow,” he says) is the new man at The Big “S” Motor Sales south of town. Rick is in the used car business with his dad-in-law, “Doc” Miller. Rick, for 16 years an Avon Products exec in Atlanta and in California, and wife Bonnie plan to build a new home on Syracuse Lake. A well known west coast investigative officer said, “A town is as good as its police department.” Women honor fathers at Church of God Fathers attending the Sunday morning, June 17, worship service at the Syracuse Church of God were honored with a special program. Mrs. Walter C.JJurcham, wife of the pastor, acting as worship leader, gave the call to worship, the invocation and read from Luke 15:11-32. The Winebrenner choir, directed and accompanied by Mrs. Ralph Bushong, sang “The Children’s Prayer.” A poem, entitled “Fathers are Wonderful People,” was read by Miss Jane Hibschman and Miss Connie Christner sang “The Lord’s Prayer.” The fathers given special recognition were Paul Yeager and Jack Elam, elders of the church. Mrs. Burcham presented them with gifts and praised them for their leadership./ Mrs. Victor Yeager led the morning prayer and congregational singing was directed by Mrs. Robert Wolfe. Acting deacons were Mrs. Virgil Bobeck, Mrs. Mabel Burley, Mrs. Everett Edgar and Mrs. Gerald Secrist. Greeters were Mrs. Martha Koble and Mrs. Leo Druckamiller. The program was planned by Mrs. William Stutzman. Mrs. Paul Yeager and Mrs. Ralph Bushong. Pastor Burcham’s sermon topic was “The Beloved Rebels.” Syracuse man in accident near Warsaw A Syracuse man, Benigno Rivera, Jr., 20, was involved in a 4:22 p.m. accident Thursday, June 14, at the intersection of US 30 and North Park street at the north edge of Warsaw. Rivera, r 2 Syracuse, was headed west on US 30 when his car collided with an auto, eastbound on North Park street, driven by Paul M. Chesterman, 73, r 6 Warsaw. Chesterman was cited for failing to yield the right-of-way. The Rivera auto received S6OO damage, while damage to the Chesterman car was listed at S4OO. Sergeant Ted Ward investigated the accident. LAKELAND LOCAL Jim Gruver of 3529 Han-Over court, South Bend, called on Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Felkner at Milford recently.

Gymnastics and girls featured at Prep camp

After an encouraging start in 1972, with Sue Ganshorn giving instruction, director Phil Jones has assembled one of the finest coaching staffs in Indiana gymnastics for girls and boys, during Wawasee Preps all-sports camp, July 1 thru 7. The staff will feature three Syracuse women as coaches and counselors. Marcia Carpenter, girls gymnastics coach at Wawasee high school, will instruct in gymnastics exercises. Arleen Corson, physical education instructor at Syracuse junior high school, will instruct in ballet and floor exercise. Marsha Strickler, 1972 graduate of Wawasee high school who is Toll facilities to expand in Warsaw The installation of additional toll facilities in Warsaw is proceeding on schedule, according to Richard M. Clay, Warsaw District Manager for the United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc. The installation, which represents a total investment of over“sl.-5 million, is due to be cut into service in December., The new addition includes 1,000 local lines, toll trunks, and more Direct Distance Dialing equipment. The need for the additional equipment is evidenced by the growth in toll calling by area subscribers. Toll calling through the Warsaw switching equipment increased 18 per cent between 1970 and 1972. Figures from the first five months of this year indicate that an even larger percentage of calls will be placed in 1973. As a result, Robert Burns, United’s district plant supervisor, stated that area telephone users may have difficulty in attempting to place toll calls during peak busy hours this summer. “To put it simply, the demand may exceed the supply,” stated Burns. To help compensate for the high summer usage, present toll facilities are constantly monitored for trouble situations. Maintenance problems are quickly located and corrected, in order to maintain peak performance and efficiency. Virginia Williamson, United’s district traffic supervisor, reports that 21 operators have been hired to assist in handling the heavy summer traffic through the Warsaw toll center. In 1971 and 1972, United invested over $1 million in complex switching equipment in Warsaw to keep pace with the rapid growth. Future plans call for additional $900,000 to be spent in 1975 for local and toll equipment. All toll calls from the following exchanges are routed through the Warsaw toll switching equipment: Arcola, Atwood, Burket,

Our current peak hours are between 9 a.m. — 5 p.m. week days.and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. on week nights.” “Presently, we are averaging 15,500 toll calls per day, with Monday and Thursday being the busiest days,” Clay continued. “It is hoped that our subscribers can place some of their toll calls during off-peak hours, helping to insure that they complete their call on the first attempt,” Clay concluded.
