THE EDITOR
What fun, stealing pumpkins
Dear Editor:
Last Friday our family went to the grocery store and purchased two pumpkins. We brought them home and carved out faces. That evening, we set them out and you should have seen our boys’ faces when we lit them. Saturday evening we had company overnight and neglected to light them. Sunday
Not suing Syracuse town board
Dear Editor: You have repeatedly published lies in your paper concerning our problem with the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals and this week is no exception. We are not suing the town board. At the May 3 special meeting, which Joyce Smith has deliberately labeled a secret meeting time and time again, the Town Board and the Planning Commission Board unanimously voted to grant us a building permit for 8 apartments at 807
One was missing
Dear Editor: The fire siren rang yesterday just as I drove to town and as the young firemen ran from their jobs and homes to the aid of those in our community that were in trouble, I was reminded that one such young volunteer was missing. For no matter if it was a fire or an accident, be it day -or the middle of the night, Jerry Kern was always there to help, to do his best to better our community, to ease the suffering of those involved personally. He gave his time freely and was proud to be a fireman.
Are you caught in the trap?
Dear Editor: The pastors of the SyracuseWawasee area are very concaned fa their community’s* spiritual welfare. They see in this area, (as exists in many others) a definite down-grading in attendance at church affairs. Many people are not even conscious of what causes them to deprive themselves and their families of all the good the churches of the community can offer them. People are caught in a trap and don’t know how to get out of it. Perhaps by exposing the trap some will take the effort to escape. The first cause for some person’s not going to church is that things have become more important in their lives than people. What has come to matter is not who you are, but what you can do. It has become more important to do than to be. This dehumanization of man by things is well described by Charles A. Reich in “The Greening of America”. He says, “Man’s most basic activity has become dominated by the most impersonal of masters — money. Man became alienated from himself, as money, not his inner needs, called the time. — Man is no longer an individual but an extension of the production — consumption system.” The second cause of the current
Plans — (continued from page 1) fa those youngsters in the kindergarten thru third grade. The prizes will also be given fa the carved pumpkins which will have been on display at the Counting House Bank. The bank will also sponsor its annual ball toss out with cash prizes being given to various youngsters. Free cider and doughnuts will be given to those who attend. In past years a dance has been held, however, there will be no dance this year. At Milford The annual Milford Lions, Legion and Legion Auxiliary festivities will be held in the junior high school gym beginning at 6:30 p.m. on Halloween night, Oct. 31. Some new ideas are in the offering for the evening. It is felt the 6:30 hour will allow youngsters to attend the festivities at the junia high school and still have time for trick a treating since there is no school on Thursday or Friday.

our three-year-old boy said, “Daddy, where are the pumpkins?”
Monday evening we set another one out and someone tried to take it, but it was booby-trapped. How do you explain when your boy says, “Daddy, did some bad boys take them?” Was it fun, boys? A Concerned Parent
Front St. The minutes of this legal meeting are duly recorded in the Kosciusko County Court or you can check with Betty Dust as to their validity. We are suing the Syracuse Board of Zoning Appeals — so far. It is your duty as a publisher to print the truth, which in most cases can be varified by a simple phone call. Sincerely, Lola R. Pinney
Jerry’s employers and coworkers both at Syracuse Rubber Company and at Regent Homes shall miss him too for he was a reliable employee that found no job too hard. Some of us may remember Jerry last December when we had so many days of blustery, windy weather; it was he up on the snorkel hanging the town’s Christmas decorations. It is men like Jerry Kern that make our community a good (dace to live, and we shall miss him. A Friend
lethargic religious situation is that a false security has replaced real inna needs! We have been unconsciously conditioned to value the wrong things; things which cannot satisfy us. Artificial pleasures and false dreams cannot replace high human and spiritual values in life without life suffering. Deep down we are made fa something not to be had in this lifetime. When we do not pay any attention to that inner cry, but try to smother it by things, we live in a dream world, confused and scattered. Many things promise to fulfill that deep yearning, but they don’t keep their promise. Are you caught in this trap? If you are, try going to church. Participation in church affairs can help a person c ee and to grow, ie. to discover the deception of material goods. There are many churches in this area. The Ministerial Association urges you to use than to the full. A schedule of their services are listed in this newspaper weekly, and The MailJournal, also, prints up all special church functions. Get out of this trap of not going to church if you find yourself in it. Make the churches an important part of your life and your community again.
