mafog3faggSA i - J .‘‘JBBmm ENLARGING CHURCH OF GOD — Work was started last Friday at the Syracuse Church of God on the new building addition which will include more classrooms, a fellowship hall and enlarging of the foyer. On August 29 a groundbreaking ceremony followed the regular morning worship service. Rev. Walter C. Burcham is pastor of the church.

ground A. C. Underwood, retired Methodist pastor making his home at Epworth Forest, wants t 6 urge the Lakeland Kiwams dub to sponsor some overseas trips for area people. Interested? If so, you might just contact A. C. He served as tour guide for groups into Europe, Greece, Egypt and Israel. He has been a pastor for 38 years the last eight being at Fort Wayne where he supervised the building of a number of new structures. Have you noticed the little Volkswagens now have larger tail lights? Those small lights were certainly difficult to see on dark nights. The big sign in the parking lot at North Webster really catches the eye of motoriists. It reads: International Palace of Sports Dedication June 29,1974. Support

the Program . . . Join King Arthur’s Court. Hook’s Drugs on Pickwick Road is scheduled to open tomorrow (Thursday), and Ben Franklin about the middle of November. According to Bob Marion, Ben Franklin manager, all his shelving is in and most of it installed, and ' he is receiving merchandise. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stinson of Kalamazoo, Mich., have recently returned from a vacation at Caracas, Venzuela. Mrs. Stinson is the former Connie Mock of this area. Connie has extended her sympathy to Mrs. John (Mary) Kimble, due to the fact she also had a reaction from her smallpox vaccination and was ill for 10 days of her vacation. Taking the same trip as Mr. and Mrs. Kimble, Mrs. Stinson was trying to locate the Kimbles on the first day of their arrival at a poolside dinner party. But in doing so they discovered the Indiana group had departed as the Michigan group was arriving. The Stinsons and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Heberling of Amherst, Ohio, also enjoyed a trip to Aruba Island two years ago and call it their favorite vacation spot as the island is very quite and relaxing with its beautiful white sand and

clean, clear water beach. There is no pollution on the island due to the constant breeze across it. Pickwick Road is shaping up and will be nice for travel this winter except one would wonder if the layout at the curve and the crossing at the railroad onto East Shore drive is much of an improvement as to visibility. Syracuse lost another young and industrious citizen this week with the death of fireman Jerry Kern, and father of four children, following a two year illness. One can well remember Jerry with a never-fail smiling hello and time for a brief chat. A letter was received this week regarding the recent Homecoming activities at the high school and giving much praise to the marching band, which many have seen at the football games and agree to their wonderful work and spirit, and if the writer of the letter would care to sign the letter to the editor, it can be printed. Watch for changes in the uptown 24-hour parking lot as work started this morning (Wednesday) to make way for plans by United Telephone expansion. James and Louise Purvis have returned from a two week visit with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Spratt and family at Nogales, Ariz. Affiliated with several Indiana newspapers, Louise was on vacation but, we think, was quite thrilled to put her talents to work writing several feature stories for an advertiser-type paper (similiar to ‘the paper’ here) which was started by her daughter at Nogales. Mrs. Spratt works alone and is finding her paper catching on fast, hardly finding time to sell advertising, write and get the issue ready for print. Her paper, supported by advertising and also sent out free of charge, is toward tourists and places to visit in the area. Doris (Mrs. Elmer) Armbruster stopped in the office this week to assist in some information needed for a birth announcement for the Armbruster’s new grandson. We could tell she was as proud as punch about the new arrival and proved it when whipping out an ample supply of photos of young Matthew David. Due to conditions beyond his control, NIPSCo’s Jay Peffley did not get to make the canoe trip with the local Explorer group. Well, maybe another time. New dispatcher at the police and fire station is Barbara (Mrs. Eli) Kauffman of Syracuse. She started her duties on Monday.

Gerald (Jake) and Pat Bitner, son Mike, and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Barnhart of Warsaw returned this week from a 10-day trip west with each of the men bagging a deer during a hunting trip in Wyoming, plus several antelope. The old timer revealed his much-envied secret at being able to remember names: He said, “Years ago I took that Sam Carnegie course.” When the last group of Thornburg drug employees go through the huge Walgreen laboratories in Chicago on October 29, all 110 of the five-store chain’s employees will have made the tour. From comments of employees, the tour is a real eye-opener for those who have made the trip. The last remains of the Syracuse Ready-Mix plant, located just west of Overhead Door Co., has been torn down. When Mrs. Ellsworth Peterson (hubby is state representative from the Ligonier area) was asked about the possibility of her husband running for the state senate for the seat held by John F. Augsburger, she said, “If 14 years in politics with my husband have taught me anything, it has been to keep my mouth shut.” Mrs. Bill Cable called this column to refute an item that her husband suggested at a recent Rotary meeting that Wawasee would probably defeat Fairfield 50 to o—which0 —which they actually did. The item was reported here as told. Perhaps events turned out all too true and proved embarrassing. The Cables have a son in the Fairfield band, it turns out. Food stamp — (continued from page 1) payment for stamps. He said in Fort Wayne the local banks handle the sale of stamps, and some program would have to be worked out here to disburse stamps. He told the council there is a possibility that the present welfare quarters on North Buffalo street in Warsaw could be revamped to use the basement to handle the new program. A waiting room, to accommodate 10 to 15 people, should be provided, Johnson added. He said Fulton county is going into the {urogram January 1. He said those handling the program m other counties to whom he has talked termed the program “an asset to the community.” He called the program “cheaper for the county than the present commodity program. Mr. Johnson said the beginning of the program could be a nightmare for his office, “that’s why I would like to get started as early as possible.” He said strikers could qualify for food stamps, although he did not consider this a real problem in Kosciusko county. What It’U Cost He said he would need certain first cost items, like a desk, safe, typewriter, and so on. He will need a case worker at $8,640 a year, an assistant case worker at $6,300 a year, and a clerk at about $460 a month. He said there will be 112.5 per cent reimbursement on the case worker and assistant, and 50 per cent reimbursement on the clerk. Johnson said he would request from $25,000 to $30,000 from the council for the first year, but that cost to county taxpayers would be from $2,000 to $2,500 a year after first costs. He said his office did not relish the work load, but that they could see the benefits to the county’s poor and he generally praised the {urogram. He told the council he would like to advertise for funds in December for the January meeting, and hope to receive state approval by February 1, in order to issue stamps by March 1. Questions came from councilmen DeGood and Ruth McCleary on costs to county taxpayers, but both councilmen said they could see benefits from the * program. Councilman Charles Menzie said he did not favor the program, saying “it will only spawn more Spiro Agnews.”

In fact, our prescription sales are 25% of our total sales—much greater than the national average (around 18%) of U.S. drug stores.
