OFF BASE —While watching a movie heroine’s pitiful struggle to find true love, a husband became mare and more annoyed with his wife’s sniffles. Finally he demanded: “Why is it you cry over the imaginary woes of people you never met?” "For the same reason,” his wife snapped back, “that you yeU and scream when a man you don’t know hits a home run.” AFTER THE rain on Friday and Saturday the final day of the past week mid turned out to be a beautiful fall day. Many people took advantage of the warm sunshine and were spotted in their yards raking the leaves that have fallen. Others were glued to their television sets watching the second game of the world series as it went into the longest game ever played during a series. Youngsters ware seen at the school grounds enjoying a game of touch football while others (young and old alike) were out riding bikes. All in all, it was a beautiful fall day and many took advantage of the warm sunshine.

Halloween trick or treating to be Oct. 30-31 at Syracuse
The Syracuse town board of trustees met Tuesday night in a regular meeting. Robert Reed, substituting for Bruce Frey, town attorney, called the meeting to order in the absence of president Tom Prickett. Darrel Grisamer made a motion that the town allow two nights for trick or treat this year. The motion was seconded and passed. The nights set for this year are Tuesday, Oct. 30, and Wednesday, Oct. 31. Two bids were received for a new dump truck for the town. C. S. Myers Ford submitted a bid of $5,993 and W. L. Cutter Chevrolet submitted a bid of $5,484. These bids have been taken under advisement until the specifications can be checked out. The board will then notify the ladders of their decision. Grisamer reported he had checked the mileage in the annexed areas. There are 6.47 miles of roads to be added in the mileage figures for revenue sharing money. Os this, 3,000 feet are extended roads inside the town limits. Reed reported checking on a loitering ordinance. The town does have an ordinance against loitering, passed December 16, 1969. Syracuse police officer Dale Legislation — (continued from page 1) 1972. He pointed out the obvious affect teacher’s salary increases and other benefits will have on budgeting since the amount of monies that can be raised by a corporation has been frozen. Boards and administrators throughout the state will have to find funds by reducing the number of teachers in the corporation, through increased numbers of students in each class and by reducing programs. He also said building projects are very low at the present time. School administrators were told at a recent meeting at French Lick that they should not have a “It can’t happen attitude,” as it could happen to anyone in any school corporation. Currently both teachers and school officials are undergoing schooling in order to negotiate. Dr. W. J. Zehr was a guest of the club. Dr. T. A. Miller, president, conducted the business session when discussions were held on the annual Halloween party which will be held for the youngsters of the community and on a proposed grapefruit sale which will be held. Program chairman Bill Little said the speaker at the November 5 meeting will be new Wawasee
Sparklin said the ordinance is adequate but questioned whether it could be carried out. Reed said the ordinance has provisions for fines and jail sentences for repeated violators. Reed also checked on the speed limit ordinances. An ordinance adopted in 1936 sets the speed limit for the town at 25 mph in all residential areas. The last update on this was in 1963, changing the speed limit at two or three specific points. He suggested the blanket ordinance be kept in effect and have an ordinance to change the speed limit at specific points if the board feels it is needed. Grisamer asked for the boards permission to move the street light in the old parking lot to the new parking lot. This light must be moved before the United Telephone Company takes over this property. Permission was given. Carl Myrick read a letter from the American Fire Apparatus Corporation, Battle Creek, Mich., stating a rate increase to $lB per hour. They do routine maintenance on the fire truck every year. Ed Anderson, building commissioner, said he had been contacted by E. F. Hawkins

After the meal, the welcome was given by president Cynthia Rapp. The American pledge was led by Mischelle Johnston and the 4-H pledge by Cindy Rink. A poem of Halloween was read by Jane Wilson. Mrs. Robert Buhrt, leader of the club, then extended her appreciation to the girls and their mothers for their help throughout the past year.

about getting a refund on the money he paid for a permit to build on a lot in Enchanted Hills as he was later refused permission to build. Grisamer said to the best of his knowledge the permit was still valid and the reason Hawkins was not allowed to build was a violation of the Enchanted Hills building code. Anderson will check into this and notify Hawkins. Ben Wilson, consulting engineer for the town, asked for authorization to present a brief he prepared on behalf of the town to the State Board of Health. He will try to convince the board of health there is no immediate problem to prevent adding connections and building on to the sewer system. The board granted the permission. Wilson also reported the application for a federal grant to pay for an inflo infiltration analysis. This analysis must be made before construction can begin on the new plant. He recommended this be done now at the towns expense and later get the money back from the federal grant if it is approved. This matter was tabled as the town does not have funds available for this analysis.

Cynthia Rapp presented Mrs. Buhrt a gift of appreciation on behalf of the club for her outstanding service to the girls. A beautiful fall centerpiece which served as the door prize was won by Brenda Davis. Small whale found in English river A 20-foot whale was recently found stranded in the mud alongside England’s Thames River. It was only the second whale found in the river in the last 10 years. Zoologists say they do not know why whales sometimes swim up rivers.
if' . » UNITED TELEPHONE — Work started this week in an expansion program for United Telephone at its location just north of the stoplight in Syracuse on ground exchange with the town of Syracuse for property on West Pearl street.
