A BIG ONE DOWN — This big section of a maple tree blew down as a result of the Saturday night wind and rain storm in front of the Clemens Schrock home on East Fourth street. Milford.

Storm damage reported here

Hie entire Lakeland area was caught up in the Saturday evening wind and rain storm but property damage was minimal, according to area police. The area was touched by the storm that swept northeastern Indiana counties where damage was considerable, according to radio and television reports. Hits Here Jay Peffley, manager of the Northern Indiana Public Service Co. office at Syracuse, reported a number of utility lines being down in the Milford and Syracuse areas, and while power was out from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. Sunday morning in a number of areas, lines were repaired in rapid order.

citing “funnels” in the sky, but as near as could be ascertained, none touched down in the area. However, a number of large trees were felled by the strong gale winds, and through the night and Sunday morning hours chain saws could be heard cutting up trees and large limbs. Almost everyone was faced with small limbs in their yards, and pick up became the order of the day Sunday. At Milford, townsman Frank Grove was beginning to have second thoughts as a large limb fell over his car, doing considerable roof damage. A year ago, in a similar storm, a limb fell over the roof of his house, also doing considerable room damage to his house. 1 Automobiles owned by Phil Baumgardt and Lewis I. Immel were reported “totaled” when trees fell on them during the storm. And several NIPSCo men were reported working all night Saturday night to repajr storm damage to utility lines.) A large mobile home, owned by “Squeek” Amsden and located in the northeast part of Milford, was overturned by the wind. « There were no personal injuries reported anywhere in the area.

The name of Grace (Mrs. Sheridan) Betes, 606 S. Front St. , Syracuse, will be presented to the Syracuse town board at their July 3 meeting as a possible replacement for Lew Kuilema, Ward 3 board member who resigned about a month ago. The petition to be presented in her behalf bears about 100 names of townspeople, and was carried by Grace and others. Her name has the blessing of the Syracuse GOP central committee, evident at their Thursday night meeting at the home of Loren Longenbaugh, city GOP chairman. At that time £ob Penick, 618 S. ' Harrison St., withdrew his name. Noble C. Blocker, board member, presented Penick’s name at the board meeting last Tuesday, along with a petition signed by 24 townspeople. At that time Blocker did not reveal who circulated the petition in Penick’s behalf. In fact, the word was he did not know at that time just who the petition carriers were. The story came out that Blocker was secretive about it all, when he actually wasn’t, he claims. Penick is assistant fire chief and has a long record of service to the community, but said he felt he could not fulfill the responsibilities satisfactory, so withdrew his name. Mrs. Betes, on the other hand, may bring a breath of fresh air to the town board, as a woman actively interested in the town’s affairs. She and her family have lived in the community 21 years, and she has been a hardworking Girl Friday at Thornburg’s bookkeeping department for a long time. The hassle over the building of the Pinney apartments on S. Front St., in Syracuse precipitated the resignation of Lew Kuilema, and the search for a replacement. Lew Craig, well known Lake Wawasee resident, is enjoying the company of his daughter, Mary (Mrs. W. E.) Burton, and her daughter Jane Edith and son Scott, this week at his Bay Shore home. The Burtons, of Baltimore, Md., came to the lake home of “dad” Craig on Sunday from Huron, Ohio, where they attended the wedding of a niece, Caron Sue Craig, to Don Tinsey on Saturday. Harry Coy, of Overhead Door Co., is looking forward to September 13 which will mark 25 years he has been associated with his company. On January 1, 1957 he bought out the interest of Bill Rosenbaum, who moved to West Palm Beach, Fla., and opened a similar business. Twenty-five years marks Harry as a real “old timer” among local businessmen. Walter and Sophie Schnur, German houseguests of Joe and Barbara Todd, made a nine-hour non-stop flight from Frankfurt, Germany, to Chicago and noted it also took nine hours to drive from Gatlinburg, Tenn., where they had visited friends, to Lake Wawasee. Mrs. Everett (Prim) Dunn recently wrote us on the fact the residents of the Warner Addition near North Webster have displayed unusual pride in their surroundings. Her comments include the following: ‘‘The newly erected United Methodist parsonage is a most pleasing edifice with its trim landscaped yard, then the Ulerys with their well kept lawn and

roses, next the Coverstones with beautiful Flame rose climbers in full bloom on the block garage, jutting against the neat floral background of the Lecounts are all worthy of mention. The ladies of the Koontz and Waikel families had a beautiful floral display s os creeping flox on their hillside and neatly kept lawns adjoining the Whitman home with its young birch trees and landscaping. This home is proving to be a real beauty spot. Across the street, the Vernettes* tailored lawn and gorgeous young trees blend in with the adjoining primrose gardens — three feet high fences are covered with Flame climbing roses and floribundaes in full bloom, three rose trees, deep red, copper and a gypsy red are also in full bloom; the 40 foot star in the center resplendent earlier with its display of 600 tulips in colors appropriate to the Eastern Star of Masonic popularity, has now been planted with marigold, thumbelina, aggeratum and dusty miller. By July blooming weather, this too will be most beautiful.” '' John A. Caple, who has an avid interest in motorcycle racing and calls himself “president Emeritus” of the Lakeland Motorcycle club, claims there are five million motorcycle owners registered in the U.S., mostly on the west coast. “This amounts to about one family in seven the country over,” he adds. In Indiana alone, the state had 30,000 motorcycle plates made, then had a second issuance of 10,000, John says, and most of them have been purchased. When reminded of motorcycle accidents, John says they occur on the highway and not under controlled race track conditions. He might have something there. If you were shaken by a loud noise — one or more — last Thursday afternoon, this is to remind you that Elder Realty was dynamiting the concrete abutments at “Hobo Jungle,” preparing the area for a development of homes. At work was a crew from the Elkhart city police department demolition squad. And what a sound they made! The report was heard throughout the town of Syracuse and surrounding area. Chet was thoughtful enough to have a notice put in The MJ informing people of the blasting, so they wouldn’t be too shook up. Lavon (Mrs. Ashley) Hawk is finally regaining use of her right arm, she is proud to say. She was the victim of a nasty fall at a local store on April 14, suffering a fractured wrist. She said the incident went almost unnoticed — particularly in the local press. Helen (Mrs. Harry) Alfrey may have a point, but we don’t think it will ever catch on. She ran a classified ad for a yard man at their Lake Wawasee home, and got no response. Helen chides “‘do I have to pay for an ad that didn’t bring results?” We’re afraid you do, Helen. That’s just the way the ball bounces. But may be this additional notice will bring you more positive results. Realtor Dan Stephan, new in the community, is having his difficulties getting names straight. He wants to say Harry Vanderford and Jack VanHemert. Week end arrests by Milford police Week end arrests listed by the Milford police department were: Glen A. Mast, 16,136 E. Boston, Syracuse, unsafe start from a parked position; Larry L. Collins, 21, r 1 Leesburg, public intoxication; Guadalupe Martinez Medeles, 22, Milford, public intoxication and disorderly conduct; Manuel Hernandez Gonzales, 21, box 542 Milford, public intoxication; and , John C. Hare, 25, box 425 Milford, failure to have vehicle inspected.

The crash occurred on Beer road, one and one-half miles east of Milford, when the Sheets car ran over a fallen tree stretched across the road. Miss Sheets told investigating officer Ronald Robinson of the sheriff’s department, she did not see the tree in time to avoid the collision. No injuries were repated in the mishap. Smoke bomb in mail box In a 10:03 p.m. fire call Sunday, Syracuse firemen rushed to the Syracuse post office, 120 S.

appropriate inventory in the midwest or Chicago region in the human resources areas of affirmative Jc-tion and labor relations. In the succeeding years the training resources inventory will be expanded to include all management areas. The results of the three projects will be available to all state and local governments in the Chicago region. This grant is another illustration of the spirit of cooperation between units of government which is fostered by the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. The act also provides for the temporary assignment and interchange of officials between the federal government and state and local governments or institutions of higher education; the admission of state and local government employees to federal training courses; technical assistance in recruitment and other personnel management areas; and cooperative agreements between the federal, state, and local governments in recruiting and evaluating individuals fa* positions.
