The accident occurred on old road 9, one mile north of LaGrange, at approximately 1 a.m. Both men received crushed chests and broken necks and were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident by LaGrange county coroner M. K. Shoup. It is believed that the son was the driver of the car which was headed south and missed a curve. The car wait over an embankment chi the east side of the road completely shearing off a telephone pole and coming to rest upside down beyond the embankment. An unidentified farmer drove by in his buggy at about 8 a.m. and because he was traveling

much slower than the many vehicles that had passed the scene, noticed the car’s wheels sticking up into the air. He went to the next farmhouse and asked residents to phone police. A double funeral service was held in a LaGrange funeral home Saturday. Burial was in Greenwood cemetery, LaGrange.

Some of the street equipment has already been moved into the addition. He also reported that Hipskind Asphalt had recently completed the storm sewers on South Martin street and were now installing curbs. A letter was read to the council concerning the underpass on Cavin street, which is SR 5. The Chamber of Commerce is writing the letter to the Indiana State Highway commission requesting that the underpass be improved so that trucks can use the highway without detouring because of lack of clearance. A committee was appointed to check into the cost of erecting a barbed-wire fence along the front of the old city dump. Outlook meeting at East Noble The 1974 Noble county annual outlook meeting was held last night at the East Noble high school in Kendallville. Prospects are for jumper corn and soybean crops in the area. Demand for farm products at home and abroad is expected to remain strong. President Nixon’s Phase IV program will have impact on agriculture as well as the overall economy. This information was analyzed at the outlook meeting. Arthur F. Howard, extension agent, notes that in addition to the shorter range outlook for general business and major farm commodities, emphasis will be placed on expectations for the next three to five years. Contracts signed for library addition A special meeting of the Ligonier library board was held Monday night to sign contracts with Architects, Incorporated of Elkhart for designing of the new library addition. Petitions were presented to the board members for circulation among Ligonier residents. Signing of the petitions by 50 persons is a prerequisite to applying for a bond issue.

It is hoped that a project such as this will help to unify the entire community.

THEY ALL CAME t- A surprisingly large crowd of spectators, young and old alike, turned out Saturday afternoon to watch the first Wolflake Onion Days parade in 19 years. The parade, lasting 35 minutes, was one of the most diversified and colorful in any small town in the greater lakes area.

Anderson — (continued from page 1) Earl Landgrebe concerning, federal funds for a new town hall. John Lehman will be in the area in the near future and will contact' the board on this. Charles Haffner stated he had I been notified by the state that conditions causing the sewers to be overtaxed must be corrected. The overload caused by water draining into the sewers after a storm is causing unpure water to be dumped into Turkey Creek. The town will be taking immediate action by checking on the addition of chemicals as an interm measure; taking immediate steps to see that all city street storm sewers are taken off the sewer lines; and making an investigation to find private home storm sewers that dump into the city sewers and notifying owners to remove them. Haffner also mentioned the fact many property owners are in violation of an ordinance for maintenance of sidewalks and alleys. He had noticed a number of places where the sidewalks are broken, have high drop-offs or have bushes or trees hindering the public right of way. The town will be checking on this, as it is the property owners responsibility to keep these areas clear. Tom Prickett brought up the accident on the lake Monday night. He asked if the town could adopt; some kind of ordinance for the property owners around the lake on better safety regulations. He gave an example of a California law which requires a boat to raise an orange flag when a skier is dropped. Town attorney Bruce Frey said he would have to do some research on this as the lake is a state waterway. Accident in Syracuse on j September 1 Sue A. Selanders, 19, r 3 Syracuse and Ralph Massey, 59, North Webster, were involved in an accident Saturday, Sept. 1, at 1:45 p.m. on SR 13 in Syracuse.

COMIC RELIEF — A moment of comic relief in the otherwise traditional decor of the Ligonier Strawberry Days parade, held Labor Day afternoon under sunny skies, came when a mule colt broke away from its mother, a member of an Arabian Knights entry, and rampaged up and down the main parade route along Cavin street. The colt was corralled by an agile Jaycee member and taken to its rightful place in the parade. Hundreds viewed the parade and several thousands enjoyed the free pancake and sausage breakfast in the morning.
