Friday as the family was making a move over the week end from the Syracuse area to Angola. The Davenports are building a new home at Lake James A report this week has Dr. .Meyers’ cement boat. The Promise, on a week-long trip on Lake Michigan with a group of Explorer scouts from Syracuse. Another new business to open in the Syracuse community in late summer will be a ladies wearing apparel store for the stout-set. Plans for the interior promise to be unusual and we would venture to say. very appealing. It might have been a little crowded, but a fun week end for the Joe Hughes and two other couples who took a motor home Saturday to the 500 mile races Joe was seen driving the home early Saturday morning prior to departure. Seeing is believing — when Jack Vanderford (on a

mushroom hunting trip one day last week) deposited a small plastic container on the breakfast table at the local case last Friday morning, in front of LaVada Dean, with four large morels standing upright in dirt. We are sure, however, they didn’t exactly grow that way. Jack. Memorial day marks the opening of the summer season in the Lakeland area, and there are already sure signs of a booming season The fuel crisis has abated, apparently, but even that would appear to work in favor of people "staying at home" for their summer vacations. Everyone this column has talked to whose business is summer-traffic-oriented seems to think this will be one of the biggest summer seasons we've had in a long time. Nice to hear. Speaking of Memorial day, why

can’t Syracuse mount a better Memorial day parade. Other neighboring communities, notably Milford, have brought the parade and cemetery memorial services into a day of activities for young and old alike, in order to keep people around for the day — and they’ve been successful. We can do it here, too, if some gogo group spearheaded the affair. Mrs. John (Nancy) Glon has the most unusual hobby. It’s carving of miniatures — and we mean real for sure miniatures. Ask her about it. The Don Arnolds have sold their Emeline street property in Milford and have moved to their new Waubee Lake home. "There’s still a lot to be done yet,’’ super Don laments, adding, “but it’s nice to be at the lake." As a part of a seventh grade project, three young people were seen with garbage bags Tuesday evening, cleaning the lower parking lot on Main street. What some people won’t dispose of was probably the thought when a cat food can was picked from along a building in the alleyway. With warmer temperatures, we are also accepting the frequent showers here, however, it has been a little hard on some farmers. A humid 70 degrees was registered at 9 a m. this morning, scheduled to go into the 80's with showers. SN Ricky Berkey at Great Lakes SN Ricky A. Berkey, son of Mr and Mrs. William J.
