THE MAIL-JOURNAL — Wed., April IS, 1975

AROUND ww Reader Wales Macy of Lake Wawasee sends us a Chicago Tribune column by Michael Kilian on. the perils of!' snowmobiles, which will not be 1 accepted kindly by local lovers of the art of frigid night (and day) riders. First, Kilian says he considers them a menace to the environment. energy conservation, sanity, and civilization as we know it. Then, he calls them selfdestructive. He goes on to promote this thesis. We ll let him tell it in his own words: "Hence, my idea. Given the premise that only an imbecile would ride a snowmobile, why discourage this? In no time at all we’ll be rid of the wretched thing $ and most of our imbeciles, too. •‘I was unable* to obtain statistics covering this year, because the season completely ended yet. Some siowmobilers hang on till the last snowflake has melted and the last glop of mud turned to dust. •* "But, according to the snowmobile safety office of the Wisconsin Department qf Natural Resources;, snowmobilers are doing themselves in like lemmings. In the winter of 1972-73. there were no fewer than 879 snowmobile accidents in Wisconsin. Last winter, this total rose to a wonderful 916. including one lovely incident in which three snowmobiles smashed together at one time. "Snowmobilers struck rocks, poles, and other fixed objects 213 times They collided with other snowmobiles or were hit by other snowmobiles 216 times. On 67 occasions they VROOOM VROOMED into cars or trucks, including 23 times when the cars or trucks were parked. "Eleven gleeful snowmobilers crashed thru thin ice and two drove devil-may-carely into , wide-open water. "Seventy of the imbeciles VROOMED into fences or cables (GULG’I, 139 fell from their snowmobiles t WHOOPS’). and 121 found their snowmobiles rolling over on top of t hem (ARGGGH!). "The casualty figures are eyen more encouraging. Some 36# snowmobilers — including 287 males and 81 females — received major injuries and 26 of them — including 21 males and The

females — went at to the big drainage ditch in the sky. "All this in just one state! "So, fear not, snowmobilers. Y'ou’ll get no more harsh words from me. For as long as it takes, l*m going to be a snowmobile booster.'* When John Kroh made a loud public comment that all the girls at Thornburg's (in the Syracuse store ) had signed up at the Youth Center for belly dancing lessons, a meek protest came from one of them, “Not all of them did!” Latest report: 90 women have signed up for the hip-shimmering lessons. When this column referred to Evelyn Smith, recently returned from Florida, as “Girl Friday” at the Wawasee Village Ben Franklin store, we heard protests from the others for our “partiality.” We were told the store also has a “Girl Saturday,” “Girl Sunday.” and so on. Don Runge, chagrined at the town board’s denial of a soning variance on a tract of land he owns along road 13 south of Syracuse, has privately told friends he plans to give the land to a Southern Baptist church for a new church. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Pang are enlarging their Maryann eating establishment in Wawasee Village, providing nearly 60 extra seats for their growing family of customers. Now in their second season, they are gaining a good reputation for food, both Chinese and American. The new addition is on the west of their original building, and is of brick veneer to match the original structure. Completion date is expected the middle of May. A frequent worshipper at the Calvary I’nited Methodist church is Bob Dille, Fort Wayne Northrop basketball coach who shepherded his team to last year's state championship. He is lined up to coach the state all-star team against Kentucky, we hear, and just might take the all-star team to Russia in July, this being speculative. Our March 12 issue carried a short obit notice on John Hey bright of Arizona and formerly of Milford who died of a heart attack on March 9. He bad retired two years previously. .Among survivors should have been listed two sisters, Mrs. Kenneth (Mary) Wilkins and Mrs Sam (Wilma) Searfoss. both of California Had our old news carried 46years ago instead of 45. we might have had the wedding of Sam and Wilma as they have just passed the to-year observatfen. Mary’s husband is now deceased. All will be remembered in the Syracuse and Milford areas. Don’t forget the all-out community project set for cleaning the area of winter refuse set for Saturday. April 26. Interested parties are urged to attend a meeting at the Scout cabin on April 21 at 7:30 p.m. The Bashor Heme auxiliary at Goshen recently observed its fifth

anniversary and has had as high as 486 members in one year. The first president of the group was Mrs. William T. (Jeanne) Jones of Syracuse. The Syracuse kindergarten class for September may hit an all-time high as 83 youths attended the round-up Monday night and there are usually a few more registered by time school starts in the fall. Billie Rigdon of Lake Wawasee is a regular patron at the Syracuse public library. Her term for herself: “I’m a bookoholic.” The county Psi Otes are sponsoring a pre-school hearing and vision screening, free of
