With a sign stating “Ecology Art” tacked on the front of their little table, they gathered up some driftwood, bark, walnuts, acorns, glass, pine cones and an assortment of other odd objects of nature, glued them together and did some crafty art work with paint and brush, and put their finished product on sale. . . They did a fair little business, and no one could deny that this is real initiative — private enterprise at work. )
troziNJOjj; AROUND - O Tents have been folded on the seventh annual Makahiki (meaning “Great Event” in Hawaiian), with principal activities in the Syracuse city park. For those who saw a lot of youngsters in town over the week end, but didn’t know what it was all about, there were approximately 500 boys and girls from five states converging on our area for their pow wow. A high point, of course, was the crowning of a King and Queen at the dance at Wawasee high

school gym on Saturday night. Other than thisTlittle “pretty,” events were built around competitive team skills in 13 events, most of them taking place in the city park or on the water in front of the park. Special credit goes to Explorer Post 67 of the Boy Scout program and the Warsaw Lions club, sponsors of the event. Prime movers are Jack Rife of the Warsaw Lions club and Chuck Hogan of the Boy Scout program. By now, these two are considered old pros at putting the week end activities together. Originally, Warsaw was considered the likely place to hold the annual Makahiki, but no one there gave it much consideration. When Syracuse was approached, the group was told they could have the facilities of the city park. It turned out so satisfactory, that from the first gathering, Syracuse became the “only place” it could be held.
Whenever 500 young people gather in one place townspeople expect trouble, but in this instance they can lay their fears to. rest. One never saw such a polite, courteous group and activities were planned to keep everyone busy. Another year, townspeople should go just a little out of their way to welcome this fine assortment of young Americans to Syracuse. Details of winners in the several events appear in another story in this issue. Matt and Elvina Solomon just home from a vacation trip in southern California, which, according to Matt, is all the more cause to sing the praises of the Syracuse area. Matt and his wife own and operate The Elmatt Corp., manufacturers of fiberglass components for the mobile home industry. Ann (Mrs. Charlie) Harris is the new paper delivery girl on South Main street, Syracuse. Daughter Ginger, 14, has a Goshen News route in that neighborhood and business has picked up sufficiently that she has pressed mother into service. When this scribe ran into Ann with a bundle of papers under her arm, Ann thought an explanation was in order and we got one. We like the mom-daughter teamwork and thought it worth a line right here.
This is one that has us thinking: Chief of police Orville Vanderßeyden walked down the street handing out parking tickets Saturday morning almost like it was a pleasant part of his duties. When he came to an overparked car belonging to the county sheriff’s department in front of Gamble’s, Van wrote out a ticket without as much as scratching his head. Van says, “They all look alike.” What we want to know, are they going to pay the fine? We would just imagine they will. The big Weatherhead Co. plant at Syracuse, long Lakeland’s largest employer, is working a 10hour\day, seven days a week. The plant\ieads up the industrial division of the company and is a brilliant star in the Weatherhead firmament. Last week the company blacktopped the west portion of its huge parking lot. This column received an unsigned note on our article about the new day care center receiving $15,000 of revenue sharing funds, stating, “For parents who cannot give care, protection and supervision to their children, there are good private day centers here.” Then it goes on to state, “Is this for all of us or just a few,” and asks about entrance requirements. It asks, “Could we find ourselves paying federal revenue sharing taxes on the new center and in addition have to pay for our children attending another?” All this points out that those organizing the new day care center have a job of public relations to do. Paul O. Penn of Lake Wawasee proved himself a vigorous “Young man,” in spite of his 69 years, at the North American lightning class sailboat regatta, as a member of his son’s crew. Paul said he stood up under three vigorous races last Tuesday and was ready for more the next day. He attributes an active life for his vigor. At the present time he can be found on Tippy’s golf course most any. time during the summer months, the same in Florida during the three-month winter period when he and Mrs. Penn vacation there. Tom Prickett got more than a few “lookers” at the sign on the window of his Village establishment during his sidewalk sale. The sign: “Swim suits — Vz off!”
The sign was located right near the entrance door. Phase Four of the Runaway Bay condominium addition, on the east side of Lake Wawasee, is scheduled to begin next week, according to developer Tom Leonard. The units will be two and three-bedroom units, situated on the hill overlooking Phase Three and Lake Wawasee. Tom says there will be 19 units in the new group, and that most of the 58 units already built have been sold. - We received an unsigned letter to the editor this week which can not be printed because of the lack of the signature. The text of the letter, however, is the feeling of several persons in this area and we thought it worth repeating in part ... [ The author wrote bouquets of thanks for Dr. William H. Zimmerman who took care of her sick baby last week when the family’s physician was not available. It seems like Drs. Meyers, Clark and Rheinheimer were all out of town at the same time. Some area coaches even added to the problem when physical forms were not sent out until the last minute and athletes had to have physical exams prior to reporting for practice. All you had to do is watch WHS football coach Hal Traviolia run his team through their paces in the sweltering sun this week and last to give you an idea of what to expect from the team during the season about to begin. Asked about prospects, he said, “I’m very optomistic. We want to promise a lot of excitement, one way or another.” We have a feeling he means it. Syracuse clerk-treasured Betty Dust is the sporty one, riding around in her sleek AMX. Local authorities saw fit to arrest Gale Kinsey of Arrow
