tßlZlNji® AROUND MIR ■ J Anyone remember when East Main street, Syracuse, looked like this? Identification of the buildings and businesses could prove quite interesting. The first building on the left near the twp large trees was the local newspaper, the Syracuse Register. This old time post card was loaned to us this week by Ercell Wright and his wife, the former Zermah Shock. Former Syracuse residents, the couple now reside at North Webster.

Mrs. Wright was born and raised in the old house at the fish hatchery site near Galloway Grocery corner at Wawasee. The old card was found in the bellows of an old organ recently' in the Wright home as the organ failed to function pfyperly. Inbody of Elkhart was listed as publisher of the card. The sign said, “As soon as the rush is over. I’m going to have a nervous breakdown. I worked for it; I owe it to myself; and nobody is going to deprive me of it.” This column usually mentions lists of names with considerable trepidation, for certainly someone will be left out. And, sure enough, such was the case when we mentioned the enclave of Marion residents living around Lake Wawasee. We’re told we should have included the Meyer Maidenbergs, Logan Loves and Tom McClains. There. George Duckwall, associated with Chalet Realty in Wawasee Village since May 1971, left the firm Friday to open his own real estate agency, location unknown at this point. Duckwall was former International Harvester dealer in Nappanee, and for several years operated Allied Lumber Co. on South Huntington street. Dan and Linda Stephan, who make up Beaty Associates Realty, are cooperating with the energy crisis conserve-the-fuel

efforts of the federal government. They turned out the lighted big sign on road 13 between Syracuse and North Webster. Lloyd Moore, owner of The Star Store and more recently the National 5 & 10c Store, has a good sense of humor. When approached about a news item concerning his new acquisition, he said, “You can just call it ‘Moore’s Mini Mall’.” A sign in front oflhe Federal Loan and Savings Co. at Rochester read: “Be thrifty and drive 50.” Look for Max Beer, Milford landscape artist, to open a garden shop in Wawasee Village in the spring. He owns land just south of Three Flags Drive-In. O. A. Lambert came up with this one at the breakfast club table at Syracuse Case: “You know what the fastest thing on water is?“ “No,” came the chorus. Lambert: “It’s a Jew in a canoe on the Suez canal.” Dale Butts and Max Simons of Wawasee Boat Co. are telling friends their customers (boat owners) are cooperating with the effort to conserve gasoline, and are not using their boats for the next four months! Friends of John Kleeman, Warsaw Democrat and clothier, are urging him to run for county council next year. Kleeman has been on the Warsaw city plan commission and board of zoning appeals, and is currently on the area plan commission. It was learned that councilmen Tim Rovenstine, Ruth McCleary and Charles Menzie have expressed a desire to retire from the council, while council chairmen Merlin Wertenberger, Wayne Tombaugh, Ralph Oyler and Norman DeGood plan to seek another go-around. I Ship 28 under Skipper Jack Clark took in eight new members this past month, now giving them a total of 20 members. County representative Paul Van Dyke says, “But we are still recruiting.” Stan and Betty Scott recently returned from a Florida trip where they dropped in for a visit

with the Louie Hares at Fort Myers Beach. Louie took the Scotts on a trip into the Gulf in his boat and when problems developed and the boat failed to function, all leisurely waited until a sailboat came by towing them to shore. Mrs. Everett Edgar, Mrs. Chet Elder, Mrs. Theo Thomas, all of the local BPW, and Mrs. Richard (Jackie) Plikerd, were reported to have done a bang-up job Sunday morning when cooking for 25 volunteers at the fire station meeting room, prior to putting up of Christmas decorations about town. The local Chamber of Commerce donated food for the event. Understand the second Bahama trip through Maxwelton will not come off this year as the company booked for air travel went bankrupt, and with the crisis it did not seem feasible to book a larger agency which would necessitate more bookings and more funding. Possible damage and a fire department call was averted Sunday as quick thinking of Bonar Lake residents, Mrs. Jack Carr and daughter Chris, en route home on East Shore drive,

Syracuse Lake, extinguished a leaf fire at the edge of the woods near the railroad tracks. Rains Tuesday helped dampen the possibility of a carelessly tossed cigarette from a passing car, which could have been the cause of the fire, starting a fire and eventual damage. The free children’s Christmas stage and cartoon show at the Pickwick Theatre is set for Saturday, Dec. 15, with shows at 10 and 1. In addition to the shows, Santa will be on hand for treats. Our community’s Mrs. Dale (Margaret Christine) Davenport, known by many as Peggy, was quite enthused when telling of her November trip to California and a national Hall of Fame meeting. Director of the track and field hall of fame, she met many personalities during the convention, was a guest at the RamsSaints game, USC and Stanford football game, Chicago Blackhawks-L. A. Kings hockey event, horse races, and given a grand tour of Los Angeles. The Association of Sports Museums and Halls of Fame has 25 members at present, with others in line.
