,a®llp ;O®p <* This postcard, mailed Aug. 5, 1907 from Wawasee, Ind., to Indianapolis, probably is made from a photograph taken the previous year. The back of the card bears the name “J. Inbody, Elkhart, Ind.,” followed by the designation, “No. 4, Made in Germany.” The scene is a westbound passenger train stopped at the old Wawasee, Ind., station of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In later years, the B & O was doubletrfcked through the area (1915) and the station platform was rebuilt with fill and concrete, and surfaced with gravel. Wawasee was a stopping point in the summer for B & O trains through the 1940*5. The depot was not reopened after 1947, last year the Spink-Wawasee Hotel operated. The railroad sold the structure and it was moved away in the spring of 1950 to its present location, on US 33 at the east edge of Benton, where in a remodeled state it is now a residence. (From the Collection of Bill Spurgeon) The brisk, cold weather has brought out all sorts of chapeaus, some of the most unorthodox being worn by men. This writer has taken a ribbing for wearing a leopard skin head piece picked up from a street vender in Istanbul, Turkey, a year ago. Our only reply is that it’s mighty warm. Now comes Ron Kramer with a Sherlock Holmes-type cap, with bill in front and back, which he picked up in September while touring in Scotland. Ron, a major in WWII, was stationed in Scotland, and visited there on two occasions since his tour of duty there. Callander Insurance All forms of personal and business insurance. 155 W.

We owe a real “hats off” to 1 members of the Syracuse street department for their work - beyond the call of duty during the 1 recent snow and ice storm. I I We tend to treat street s department workers a little like I bur firemen: we really don’t ’ appreciate them until we need ’ them. « Uptown merchants are thankful to city fathers for capping uptown parking meters the several weeks prior to Christmas. We heard of few abuses by merchants, taking advantage of free parking. It was a real gesture toward uptown merchants, particularly to those in the new Pickwick Place who were trying to get their new businesses off the ground. Seth Ward reported “nearly 200 calls” in response to his advertisement for a housekeepercompanion. “My offer of liberal fringe benefits really got them,” he chides. Ho! Ho! Ho! Was what Santa said on his stop in The MailJournal office last Wednesday afternoon. He also wanted directions to the North Pole as he apparently lost his way in the heavy storm which hit .the area, stranding a number of motorists and a number being pushed from parking spots on Main street during the course of the day Wednesday. Hopefully by this time, with Christmas over for another year, Santa and his reindeer found their way back to the Mrs. and home to start work for another year. By this time area residents are tired of hearing events of last week’s crippling snow but since space did not permit the forecast to get in this column for Syracuseans basking the sunny south and west, we feel we should say it was written something like this: It’s 20 degrees at 9 a.m. today, three inches of snow on the ground, and three to six more inches expected today. The Ligonier state police post was being answered Wednesday morning with all roads snow covered and very hazardous. Little did we know at that writing that the snow which started sometime Tuesday night would continue into the night Wednesday and part of Thursday leaving nearly 13 inches of snow and a community virtually crippled. Heavy winds called for by the

weatherman did not come for which many were thankful. Town employees, shorthanded, worked around the clock attempting to clear streets for passability and certainly should be commended in-spite-of parked cars and drives being plowed shut in many areas. All uptown walks were cleared by mid-morning on Thursday. A pretty good game of pool was evident one afternoon last week at the Anchor and overheard was that game tally now stood at 1-1. The players — Ginny and lodine. Gary Webb of Syracuse and Dean Anderson of North Webster, both employees at Penn Controls, Goshen, and both avid snowmobile enthusiasts, rode their crafty little machines to work last Thursday morning when a high, 13-inch snow made automobile travel next to im-

a/. > A COMMON SCENE — A common scene in the Lakeland area during the past week is this one. Gary Webb, owner of Wawasee Motel with his wife Nell, is on the right, and his sons Gary, Jr., 14, and Troy, 10, are on the left snowmobile. Mr. Webb is a member of the Wawasee Hard Water Riders, a snowmobile club which boasts a membership of nearly 30 families. The 13-inch snow that fell last Wednesday and Thursday had automobiles stuck at r home and along the highways, while snowmobiles proved the way to go.
