Recall visit with Archbishop Makarios

By ARCH BAUMGARTNER Publisher of The MaikJournal 0 The uprising on the tiny island of Cyprus and the overthrow of the government of Archbishop Makarios during the past week brought back vivid memories to me and Mrs Baumgartner of our visit there in early February 1972 We had occasion to meet with the legendary Archbishop in his plush Presidential Palace and to get a first-hand glimpse of the tall, erect man in the black religious garb. Cyprus, located in the eastern section of the Mediterranean Sea. has long been the site of strife between the warring Turks and Greeks.

Lebanon, on our way to Tel Aviv and the Holy Land A year earlier. February 1971. we were in Nicosia briefly, only at the airport, en route from Nairobi. Kenya, to London, but this landing was due only to a severe sand storm in Cairo where we were supposed to land. Our February 1972 visit to the troubled island was more extended and fruitful.

So. when we passed from the Greek sector to the Turkish section, our Greek guide had to leave the bus until we returned Oddly enough, the Turk driver was free to go into the Greek sector with no trouble. Such ambivalence we found to our amazement. We found Archbishop Makarios a real character study. He gave us the usual pleasantries in the Presidential Palace, then went into a round of hard questions. He seemed genuinely pleased to meet with the Americans. He is ramrod straight, with the familiar black garb, pillbox hat. high clerical collar and he usually kept his hands piously folded before him. He gave off the appearance - call it charisma if you like —of being in the presence erf a

Seth Seaton Ward — 1899-1974 (An Editorial) The death Monday night of Seth Ward was the passing of a person who came as near to being a legend in his own time as this area will ever see. A many-faceted man. Ward had his ardent admirers and his detractors, but no one ever had to doubt where they stood with him. And, if you were a friend the world knew it; and it was the same if you were an enemy. Seth was his own man to the end, cursing the illness that brought him down. He suffered untold pain from arthritis and kept his Lake Wawasee home hot to relieve the pain that racked his tall frame. . "I keep it the same temperature it is in Miami." he would say in the cold winter months. As a young man Ward attended Purdue, then went to West Point until illness forced him to drop out. He returned to his native Princeton, Ind., then went to Indiana university where he graduated with a law degree. Seth and his Betsy were attracted to Lake Wawasee as a handsome young couple, where they became well known figures at the Spink-Arms hotel during the summer months. ? The Wards had no children of their own, but they had plenty of young friends and admirers. His traditional September 1 birthday party brought them to the Ward home in the numbers. Ward had a love of cats that was well known, particularly for his favored Betsy. As a young, ambitious lawyer Ward played a part in the capture of the infamous Ku Klux Klan leader D C. Stevenson by the use of a wiretap, and he relished in the retelling of this tale. When the Wards were in their Tr and 40s they made a strikingly handsome couple and an equally commanding presence. It was an experience not to be forgotten to sit at Ward's table at the Columbia Club in Indianapolis and have Frank McHale, Frank McKinney, Harold Handley and other notables drop by and say, "Hello. Seth, how is everything at Lake Wawasee?” He called his home on Lake Wawasee “as near to heaven as one can get.” He admired his “law library” where he kept books, random files of old newspapers he thought worthy ofsaving, as well as other memorabilia. Ward's gold painted shoes, his silver painted Lincoln with the red triangular slow-moving vehicle emblem were unmistakenly Seth Ward. It seemed that almost everyone in the area knew Seth Ward, if only by reputation. He had a booming voice that commanded the attention of all who were near him. And a brilliant mind as well. Ward said he kept abreast of the times “by reading Time. Newsweek. The Indianapolis Star and The Mail-Journal." We were flattered. Ifcye than that hr was an avaricious reader. He was well versed on the Bible and could come up with quotations to fit almost all occasions He read medical journals and law books, and was constantly devouring paperback books on a host of different subjects. His fancy for a time turned to tipping with newly printed twodollar bills until the government quit printing them. Ward was a good tipper. He relished in being called Lake Wawasee’s Archie Bunker. And when he was asked to speak before a class at the high school he was delighted Ward may have passed from our midst, but be will be remembered for a far longer time than most of us.

powerful man who knew his place in the history of his Greek Orthodox church and as head of the Cypriot government. Issue Is 'Enosis* The real crunch of the current crisis on the island of Cyprus is “Enosis,’’ a union of the island with Greece. Makarios has committed his life to this principal. but the National Guard that overthrew him this week wants Enosis now. Makarios claims the uprising was engineered from Athens. When the uprising came about, it brought back memories to us that one can only have by visiting the colorful island. We got out the booklet we published on our 1972 Mid-eastern trip and re-read the article we wrote at the time. It appeared in The Mail-Journal and became a part of our annual

Audience With Makarios On Thursday, Feb. 11. our group had an audience with His Beatitude Archbishop Makarios, President of the Republic of Cyprus. He was elected President December 13, 1959. and has been very much in the news since he arrived at this position at age 37. In the last election he received 97.8 per cent of the (Greek) vote. Archbishop Makarios, who is not only President of Cyprus but is also head of the Greek Orthodox church on the island, received our group at 8 a m. in the Presidential Palace.
