tfcJZINJOj around fwST l J ' Date for the opening of the new Hook’s drug store, at the south edge of Ligonier, is Thursday, Sept. 20. The Syracuse store is scheduled to open about the second week in October. Joe Baker, who has made a real success of his El-Ko mobile home park north of Syracuse, has his eye on a 100-acre tract in the New Paris area for a mobile home park. NIPSComan Wilbur Smith, a Democrat, has pulled a fast one on his wife, scribe Joyce, inasmuch as he purchased her a “D” license plate. “D” in this case stands for Democrat and Joyce is a Repblican, so says Wilbur. It’s not commonly known, but CUff and Marty Kinder purchased the expensive Carillon system in St. Andrews United Methodist church north of Syracuse several years ago, the four speakers of which were stolen a week ago. Mary (Mrs. Johnnie) Kimble (Kale Island Beacon) is recovering from side effects of immunization shots she took recently in preparation for a hurry-up, six-day trip to Venezuela, S. A., with her hubby and Jack and Audrey Baker, also of Kale Island. They want to leave on the 29th. Orville Griffith, owner of Cromwell’s only drug store, was jubilant over the outcome of the 50th anniversary reunion of his high school class, held Saturday, Aug. 18, at the Warsaw Holiday Inn. it “Griff” says there were 59 in his class that graduated from Warsaw high school in 1923, and with 14 of this number dead, 32 of the 45 living alumnae turned out for the reunion, coming from all parts of the country. He said the class boasts of a goodly number of prominent people in that class; doctors, engineers, and other professional people. Griff was president of his class during that senior year, and at the reunion the 32 voted him in as “president” of the alumnae group. They hope to have another reunion next year at their Lake Wawasee home. All during the reunion at the Holiday Inn, Griff’s wife Dale was flitting about with her new camera recording the event for posterity. Tom Prickett, president of the Syracuse town board, has an eye for things old. He is trying to come up with a practical use for the brick in the house soon to be demolished to make room for a new parking lot on West Pearl

street. Tom suggested the bricks be salvaged that local merchants could use them for planters in front of store buildings. There wasn’t much enthusiasm among merchants for this sort of thing, primarily due to cost of cleaning them. Tom doesn’t like to think his idea is dead, however, and would like to have townspeople contact him if they can think of a practical use for the bricks. Merl Smith of SmithWalbridge camp is a little less vociferous in his criticism of columnist Jack Anderson this week than he was a week ago. When the Anderson column broke a story about Lt. Col. Dale L. Harpham, director of the U.S. Marine Band, appearing at three functions for a fee (naming Smith-Walbridge as one), Smith hit the ceiling. Actually, the gracious colonel was here for five and a half days and made one public appearance. Anderson said Col. Harpham was collecting his salary and accepting a fee to boot. He cited a case of a music festival where he got |2OO, a Purdue function where he got |4OO, and said he was at Smith-Walbridge a year ago and got |4OO, and received 1500 for this year’s appearance. Merl S. said there was nothing hush-hush about the whole thing. He said Harpham brought great good will to the Syracuse camp. On top of that, S-M got notice in a nationally syndicated column that appears daily in more than 700 newspapers. Smith is laughing now, but he wasn’t a week ago. Asked if Col. Harpham will be back next year, Smith said, “He will be welcomed back. I just hope this publicity didn’t scare him off.” Roger Vore, owner of the Pickwick Theater in Syracuse is certainly a young man on the move. At 31, he has picked up a small chain of local theaters and now has his eye on one in Rochester. Also, he is soon to announce plans of entering a new field of endeavor, nonaligned with the entertainment business. He says he wants to diversify. Frank McKinney Hubbard said, “Nothing is so irritating as the fellow that chats pleasantly while he’s overcharging you.” Will Spurgeon, new Wawasee Property Owners Assn, president, said from 550-575 attended the Sunday morning free pancake and sausage breakfast at the Lilly Annex. He added, “Lines were longer —for a longer period — than I’ve ever seen them. Nearly 500 actually signed in and I must have missed 10-15 per cent more than that while woolgathering, chatting or daydreaming ... plus a few always come in the back way.” People who extend liberal support to the churches seldom worry about what they get in return.

SCHOOL RECEIVES PAINTING — Mrs. Maurice Koher, a member of Leisure Painters, an adult art class, is presenting a painting of a white owl to Robert Hamman, principal of the Syracuse elementary school, as local artist Ken Harkless looks on.

Lakeland Kiwanis club to present travelogues The Lakeland Kiwanis club will again sponsor the “Travel and Adventure Series.” This is the fifth year for the program which has been proven a great success. First, it furnishes the finest of entertainment at a very nominal cost; secondly, it makes it possible for the club to become better acquainted with the people of the community; and third, the profits from it provide an opportunity for the club to continue its worthwhile projects, such as police career camp for high school age boys interested in law enforcement and other youth programs. . With the first travelogue of the season to begin on Thursday, Sept. 20, at Wawasee high school the club members are eagerly looking forward to the opening of the season.
