State Senator John F. Augsburger of Lake Wawasee has made it known publicly that he will not seek re-election to the seat he now holds. A;nd this brings up speculation as tc who will be in the running. Two names Mome up that are fairly well kncwn in the Lakeland area. One is that of state representative Thames Mausy of Warsaw, who has been a member oi the General Assembly for a number of years. No concrete word from Thames as yet. The other is that of Ellsworth Petersen of Ligonier. Peterson is a state representative now serving out his seventh term. He hp.s told friends — and confided to t'.iis column — that “yes, I just could be a candidate for the senate, but we’ll have to see what the future brings.” Both men are Republicans. “Wild Bill” Cutter proved the champ of the Lake Michigan coho fishermen, at least among his perennial fishing buddies from this area who go to Platt Bay, Michigan, for a week with the nimrod.

This might be denied by other members of his party. It should be said that Bill and wifie Theda returned earlier than the rest and Bill was able to plant his story in this column. Refutations just might follow. On the trip with the Cutters were Harry and Mildred Nicolai, Paul and Pauline Levemier, and Lynn and Charlotte Levernier, the latter couple from Indian River, Mich. Those male chauvinistic pigs 55 years of age and older were walking around crestfallen Friday following the Thursday night spectacular when Billie Jean King soundly trounced Bobby Riggs in tennis before a Houston, Tex., Astrodome audience of 30,000, plus another 48 million at home. Riggs, at 55 appeared as the se If-proclaim e d male chauvinistic pig, and held up a live pig which was a present from Billie Jean as part of the pregame come-on. Billie Jean, at 29 and several times a Wimbledon champion, was just too much for our Bobby Boy. It’s tough to be done in by a young lass, and one so pretty, too. But Bobby'isn’t all that dumb. He has in his pocket enough contracts for product endorsements to make the SIOO,OOO he missed opt on look like chicken feed. And, for that matter, so does Billie Jean.

I B WR i If you’re a sing-along music lover, you’ll want to hear Rick Carson at the Ken-Ary on East Madison, Goshen. He looks like a truck driver, but he has the nirnbleness of fingers to make Rackmaninoff proud. He has a wide repertoire, and managed somehow to work a piano with one hand and an organ with another. They seem an extension of his fleeting fingers. Don’t worry about the words: they’ll supply a printed sheet for you. He’s there Monday through Saturday nights. WHS football .coach Hal Traviolia must feel mighty good this week, after giving the Goshen Redskins the best match they’ll probably get this year. Final score: Wawasee 33, Goshen 13 Out of three starts on the field, Traviolia has three in his hip pocket, but not without the help of a real fine team. And Hal will be the first to tell you. Word was received here that Marion J. (“Butch”) Whitehead, 28, son of Mary Whitehead (The Junque Shop, Wawasee Village), recovered the body of a 17-year old Phoenix youth on Sunday, Sept. 16, in 15 feet of water. The youth recovered was George Krob, 17, who was swimming in Lake Pleasant, Ariz., with two other youths. They tried to swim across a 100yard inlet, turned around in the middle and swam back toward shore, with Krob going under about 15 yards from shore, failing to resurface.

Authorities questioned Whitehead, asking if he was a professional swimmer, which he isn’t. Ironically, young Whitehead’s father drowned in Syracuse Lake about 18 years ago, old timers will recall. Terry Frank, athletic coordinator at WHS, is attempting to form an adult boosters club, and a meeting of interested persons was held at 7 a.m. today (Wednesday) to explore any interest that might be present. More on this later. There appears to be a difference of opinion between two directors of the State Bank of Syracuse as to whether the bank will open an insurance agency in Albion or not. One says “yes,” and the other says “no.” Edwin Petersen (Kale Island Bait House) wants a campaign started to make side streets in Wawasee Village safer. This is getting to be a problem, his neighbors agree. Mrs. Richard (Mary) Weaver, 200 No. Huntington st., was pleasantly surprised Saturday night when her children (five of ’em) threw a party in her honor. They brought in a band for the occasion. They had to work it so their dad, who is a truck driver, could be home to help in the Celebration. > Cutter Chevrolet called this year’s showing of new cars their biggest. Bill said, “They just wouldn’t stop coming.”. They claimed to have sold 60 units in all during the three-day showing. “That’s progress,” remarked a townsman in the uptown block, as he appraised the new stop lights. He added, “This is the only town that has gone from one stop light to eight overnight,” Bond Boosters to meet Oct. 3 The West Noble Band Boosters will hold their first meeting of the season at the high school on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 7:30 p.m. This will be an organizational meeting and parents are invited to attend.
