Bushong of Syracuse are on a vacation to Portugal, Spain and Africa. 19 YEARS AGO. OCT. 1.1964 At a special board meeting Monday evening, the school board unanimously agreed to employ Maurer and Maurer of South Bend as architects to plan the new high school building for the Lakeland Community School Corporation James Wilson is the new president of Syracuse-Wawasee Education. Inc. Millard (Si) Hire was honored Monday night at a dinner event for his part in organizing the Syracuse drum and bugle corps and was presented a plaque from the Syracuse police and firemen’s benefit fair board members Miss Lu Ann Longenbaugh has graduated as a medical laboratory technician from Elkhart University erf Medical and Dental Technique 20 YEARS AGO. SEPT. 20.1954 Fire of unknown origin, which apparently raged unnoticed for hours early Saturday morning, completely destroyed the Kale Island summer home of M. K. King of Fort Wayne. Lloyd Neff recently sold seven purebred Aberdeen-Angus cows and a registered bull to Homer Roose of Goshen. Larry Gustafson won second on his 4-H insect collection exhibited at the state fair and was sweepstakes entomology exhibitor at the county fair. Mr and Mrs. James Kirkwood have returned from a two-week trip to California where daughter Mary Lou enrolled at the University of California. 45 YEARS AGO. OCT. 3.1929 Students had just been called back to classes after recess Thursday morning when Jacob Robert Kern, seven, son of Mr. and Mrs Jacob Kern, fell and broke his leg. Aside from a bruised ankle. Karl, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Lester Sawyer of South Main street, was not seriously injured when struck by an auto Saturday noon in front of the Sawyer home. James Connolly was elected president. Cleo Cory, vice president, and Mary Jane Hire, secretary-treasurer, when the seniors elected school officers last week v ■ Indiana — r t Continued from page I) Stale Central Committee and Geupel DeMars $3,600 in rental from the same source. Hudnut, Landgrebe and Walter Helmke — Roush's Republican

opponent — have all received SIO,OOO from the Indiana Medical Political Action Committee. Another $5,000 for each candidate has been transferred to AMP AC in Chicago, the political off-shoot of the American Medical Association. The medical group's contirubutions to each of the three candidates is at least three times what they have given to other Republican candidates in Indiana, a tip-off on which races they judge as close. According to political observers here. Landgrebe, who represents a traditionally Republican district, has hurt his chances with his die-hard support for Nixon and his often lonely stands in the House in opposition to many federal programs Two days before Nixon resigned Landgrebe said on the House floor. “I’m sticking by my President even if he and I have to be taken out of this building and shot.” Landgrebe and his opponent Floyd Fithian have raised almost equal amounts of money this year — $63,000 by’ Fithian and $60,000 by Landgrebe — but the Democrat had spent almost all his funds by the end of August, while Landgrebe reported more than $24,000 still on hand. A measure of national interest in Fithian’s challenge and the assessment of his chances bypolitical observers is the more than SIO,OOO contributed to his campaign by organized labor and various national Democratic Party sources Roush's Fourth District, centered on Fort Wayne, traditionally features hair-breath close races and this year's campaign is seen as no exception. Roush found himself in the ironic position during the days shortly before Nixons resignation of criticizing his Republican opponent for coming out in favor of the former President’s impeachement “before all the evidence was in.” Roush himself said at the time that he was reserving judgment. Roush has also tried to appeal to traditionally Republican sentiments by holding a conference in the district on the problems of small businessmen, supporting the elimination of OSH A regulations as they apply to small businesses and publicizing his active role on legislation of concern to business. As a measure of the seriousness of Helmke’s challenge. Roush, who had raised only $24,653 for his campaign as of August 31. has received more than $14,000 from national organized labor sources. Helmke has raised a total of $39,496 through August 31. Both candidates reported about $12,000 on hand as the campaign entered the fall run.

Church — (Continued from page 1) organized by Elder George Thomas in March. 1863. at the conclusion of a Protracted meeting of six weeks duration. The meeting resulted in about forty conversions and baptisms. About the same number of persons united in church fellowship. During the year of 1866-67. the Church succeeded in the erection, completion and dedication of a House of Worship. The size of the Bethel was 38 x 56 feet, with 18 feet from floor to ceiling. The cost was about $3,300 On Siffiday morning, October 13.1867. at the time of the Indiana Eldership convened at Syracuse, the dedicatory services were conducted by Elder George Smith and Elder J. S. Shock. Town lots number 2 ami 5 in the Defrees and Manns addition were deeded October 22. 1867 to the trustees of the Church of God. John Gordy. Henry Hendrickson and Isaac Weaver, and to their successors in office, by Joseph H. and Margaret Defrees. According to the historical records, in 1870. they show that the Methodists. United Brethren. Lutheran, and Dunkards shared in the expense of upkeep and use of the Bethel. A few years later the German Baptists, also, worshiped here. In the Atlas of Kosciusko County published in 1874. the street in front of the Church was called by the name “Church of God Street.” The records show that on April 4. 1909. the Christian Endeavor Society was re-organized and was having regular meetings. In October. 1899. the Church put down a cement walk and steps at the church house, at a cost of $75.80. The Lutheran members paid $20.00 of the above amount. In the Conference years 1917-18 extensive additions and improvements were made to the Bethel. A 16 by 24 ft. wing, which opened into the auditorium, was added onto the east side of the chirch building, to be used for Sunday School classroom purposes. A concrete walk was also built from the wing to the street. The interior of the auditorium was also improved. The restrum was rebuilt and extended uniformly across the front, and over 100 yards of new brussels carpet was laid. The walls and ceiling were repainted and new oak chairs were purchased. The exterior of the church was also repainted, and a new light placed above the front steps, outside. On September 13, 1917, a rededication service was conducted by Rev. L. A. Luckenbill. The hitch racks were taken down in 1923. The Conference year 1928-29, a hardwood floor was laid. During the time of the laying of the floor, the church and its organizations met in the Grade School building across the street from the front of the church. At the same time they completely redecorated the walls and ceilings of the Church. In the year 1936. when the town of Syracuse was celebrating its centennial. The Church of God. being the oldest organized church in town, entered a float in the parade drawn by a team of horses. The present planking on the walls and ceiling were put on in the year 1945-46. The first constitution and by-laws of the church were drawn up in the late forties. In January 1951 work began on the digging of the basement. A full basement was dug under the entire building; the main part being used for Sunday School classes. A kitchen, two rest rooms and a new oil furnace were installed A new front entrance with new doors was made at ground level, replacing the steps that had been constructed in the year 1899. The entrance was furnished with inside steps to the basement and to the main auditorium; with classrooms provided on both sides of the front entrance stairs; and with folding doors opening from each room into the main worship sanctuary. A new side entrance was made to the east side of the Bethel and to the basement. Also, a new oak flooring was laid in the east wing and a new entrance door was installed. All of these improvements totaled in cost to the amount of about SIO,OOO. The Dedication Service for these improvements was held July 27, 1952. The present pulpit furniture and communion table were installed in 1962. The Syracuse Church of God celebrated a 100th anniversary with special services on Sunday, March 31, 1963
