“Secrecy in government is the incubator of corruption”: Former chief justice of the United States Supreme Court Earl Warren. Youngsters at WHS heard racers Johnnie Parsons and Merle Bettenhauser, both of Indianapolis, at an assembly program last Thursday. They showed a film and talked on driver safety — even for racers. Four points they made: 1.) driver attitude, 2.) importance of condition of vehicle, 3.) driver courtesy, and 4.) defensive driving. Important was the fact that racers do not take any stimulants or narcotics before a race, since they are known to dull the senses. The case for safe driving was brought to the students through courtesy of the Vega Corp., Syracuse. A nice Christmas greeting and note from Sandra Yeager, daughter of Paul and Rhuedell of Syracuse, tells of her work at the federal prison at Eglin, near Pensacola, Fla. Sandy is a member of VISTA’s new VIJ (volunteers in justice) group whereby about 30 young people are working in federal prisons across the nation.

Now a junior caseworker, Sandy has a seven month old Irish-English setter which her parents are currently keeping for her, but are wanting to find a good (free) home for her. Any takers? Did you know an area bossman got lost in Foraker recently? Wonder who? Cold weather and snow apparently caused a malfunction of equipment at the main railroad crossing gates in town last Saturday morning and traffic was backed up for quite sometime before workmen could correct the problem. In addition, at about the same time, an employee in the village area, triggered a burglar alarm when entering his place of business around 8 a.m. Alarms were sounding everywhere. Chet and Carol Elder were pleasantly surprised at a housewarming party last Wednesday, and were recipients of many useful household items. They lost their home and all their personal belongings in a fire several weeks ago. They expressed extreme gratitude to the dozen who attended. Lawrence Thwaits is a member of a new firm, known as L & K, which is about to unveil a gassaving device for gas-guzzling cars. This is certainly something we’ll all want to hear about. Rick and Malinda Pinney are two bright young stars in the Syracuse business community. Merl Smith is seeking an audience with officials of AMTRAK in Chicago to see what can be done to get the new line

operating on the B & O tracks through Syracuse to make this a regular stop. Merl was in Chicago Thursday and Friday to attend a Mid-West Band Clinic and wanted to use the occasion to contact AMTRAK representatives. Now hear this. & Doug Allen and Mary Ann Lacas, of Larry Nellans Realty, Syracuse, claim equal time in this column along with Todd Realty and Beaty Associates, to inform the residents of Syracuse that Larry Nellans anticipated the energy crisis and did not construct a huge sign with lights; and therefore has contributed even more to the energy crisis, conservation of wood products and highway beautification. These are almost their exact words. Corinne (Mrs. Gene) Ludwig — known to her most intimate friends as “Boom Boom” — has come to the aid of area wives in helping them solve the bumper problem that recede to save the grills on the new cars. Corinne backed into a cable, dragged it the length of the fender, snapped it in behind the bumper and did a satisfactory mangle job on the front of her car. Perturbed hubby Gene says, “This should send GM back to the drawing boards.” Few of his Syracuse friends know that Ash Hawk was a track star during his years at Fort Wayne North Side high school. He was state track champ in the mile race in 1941, 1942 and 1944, and placed second in a state meet in 1944, the only mile loss in his career. He will be among the Hoosier athletes feted at Indianapolis January 26 at a “Hall of Fame” memorial tribute by the Indiana Association of Track and Cross Country. Nominee for adult cheerleader of the current basketball year: Bill Beemer. A suggestion heard to save gas, sure to get a thumbs-down by students: Make students ride school buses to school and leave their cars at home.

SANTA VISITS — Light snow Friday brought Santa Claus to Syracuse where he made visits to the library for pre-schoolers and to kindergarten afternoon classes at the Syracuse school. He is shown here with, back row, Joy Karesh, Alane Flanagan. Jody Miller (partially hidden), Beckie Welty and Jennifer Stetler. In the second row are Dawn Neises, George Hephner, Stephanie Crow, Lisa Bushong, Chris Miller (partially hidden), Shane Peterson and Kelly Jo Rensberger. Front row students are Dale Grady, Richie Troup, Michelle Mignery. Elmer Steele and Carlton Crooks. They are in Mrs. Milton Brice’s class.

Gail Mast is another person with a name to fit her occupation. Gail is bookkeeper and Girl Friday at Wawasee Boat Co., where a gentle gale and a high mast is the desire of every sail boat operator. What in the world for, one might wonder, as the county continues to investigate the theft of another large soft drink machine sometime Sunday night from the Tool Shed. Another was taken at the , Beacon last week. A number of painted pictures depicting the coming Yule season can be seen about town, and showing some unbelievable talent along this line are students of the fifth grade art class at school. They put their talent to work last week and handiwork can be seen on the windows at Love Furniture. Don’t forget Santa at the library this Saturday afternoon from one to four. It is better to have one man working with you than three men working for you.

Holiday lights to be dark During the Thursday meeting of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce at Maxwelton Golf club, members voted unanimously not to light the holiday decorations this year, in keeping with the energy conservation crisis. Also noted was the need of volunteers to take down the decorations on the morning of January 6. All volunteers are urged to meet at the fire station at 7 a.m. that morning for a free breakfast to be served prior to

the decoration removal. President Ev Ganz reported a proper location had not yet been found for placing of the Chamber welcome to Syracuse sign at the north edge of town and anyone having such space or knowledge of same, should pass on the information to Chet Elder. Ganz added the local garden club has offered to beautify the area of the signs, one of which has already been placed at the south edge of town, with flowers. Stoplight Discussions were held on the upcoming flotilla plans and attempts to have a traffic light installed at Indiana 13 and the Pickwick Road south of Syracuse. Secretary William Beemer reported an attempt was made last year for a light and the state highway department took a county survey of traffic. The

count, Beemer added, was made on a week day during the winter when bad weather had even closed local schools. The state report at that time said there was not enough traffic to warrant a light. John Call and Jerry Ganshorn reported on progress being made in unification of the uptown merchants since a number of new businesses started in December. Firemen called to assist Cromwell Syracuse volunteer firemen responded to an assist call to Cromwell firemen at 4:42 a.m. Sunday for a fire at Mobile Home Village, Lake Wawasee, however, Cromwell had the fire under control when Syracuse arrived.
