Asked what she was doing basking in the simshine with two such cute youngsters, and it was then that she revealed the merits of the program she works on for the bank “Occasionally we stroll through the bank." she said, “so the youngsters can see mommy at work, and everybody seems happy about it." Syracuse attorney John C. Hagen will spend Thursday. Friday and Saturday, the sth, 6th and 7th. at IU at an estate planning and trust seminary Hagen, a real Big Red fan. is preparing a booklet on IV.

As near as we can determine, there is ntftruth to the rumor that a Lakeland bar plans to operate as a "singles bar" one night a week Fired by the Syracuse town board's decision to pass a mini bike ordinance, townsman Joe Hughes vented his ire when the discussion came around to the large amount of Elkhart county residents who use the city park during the hot summer months. Hughes’ solution: Let's let them swim here, and we’ll send our mini bikes to Elkhart county. The ever famous Carol Vanderm an is ready to start a new belly-dancing class at the Lakeland Youth Center we are informed. A total of 117 ladies were involved in the eight-week session
just over and besides "lots of fun" it is reported the inches came off the waistlines. NIPSCo had its share of extra duties this week, in addition to storm damages when lightning was thought to have been the cause for the shortage in the Milford area for about an hour around the noon hour on Monday, and occurred at the substation area there, and several auto accidents including the earlymorning one on Tuesday on the north shore of Wawasee leaving that area without current for nearly four hours. Lots of changes are going on about town with a new building going up in the village for a lawn and garden center, a Next-T6-New Consignment Shoppe in the Professional building, a new structure going up near the car wash and improvements by firemen in the dispatcher’s office at the fire station. Did you see the local mailman's small car with the dented right front fender? Also in that area are a number of bandaids, and OUCH lettering. Mushroom stories are still being heard about the area with Nancy Prickett telling one Tuesday morning — while riding the lawn mower, no less — and then there is the one told by the NIPSCo meter reader finding them .at the front steps of a residence (and the lady GAVE them to him.) Apparently she was not a mushroom eater. Understand the owners of the Dixie Camp and big 200passenger paddle wheel boat at Webster Lake are wishing to retire and are offering both for sale. What will be the outcome of the famous boat which has shown many riders hours of riding enjoyment? Larry Twaits is about to become a new businessman in Wawasee Village.

However, once the first 30-day period of eligibility has elapsed, there is a 15-day waiting period after application before coverage takes effect. Thus, you may want to make a special effort to alert citizens to the advantages of purchasing the flood insurance immediately," added Hunter in his notification.

& THE EDITOR
Stop signs mean STOP
Dear Editor: This letter is to the party with license plate number 43516. It has been my understanding that stop signs are meant for every driver on the road. Not just a few. It was my dubious pleasure to meet you
Substandard system
Dear Editor: As a concerned ‘citizen of the Syracuse area, I have noticed, in the past several years, that our tornado warning system in our community, is quite substandard to what it should be. In recent times, when we have had several direct threats to the area, the only knowledge of oncoming severe weather is by my own police radio. Unfortunately, not every one owns a receiver, to get these warnings. The town, to my knowledge, has never been directly hit. but as we all know, narrowly missed the onslaught of a twister a little over a year ago. I sincerely feel the need of additional warning devices around the lakes, including the Dewart Lake area. The siren is adequate for the uptown and the west end of Syracuse Lake. The horn in the village is good for that part of town. too. But. when the wind is blowing very strong from the right, direction, neither can be heard on the eastern shore of Syracuse Lake or for twothirds of the way around Wawasee. We need a system that can be heard by everyone, not

just a few who might be listening for it. Also, we need someone to activate the system, who wouldn’t use their own judgment on such occasions to decide not to alarm some of the older residents by not blowing the siren, as I was told by the operator on duty on April 3d of last year. At one blink of an eye, the tornado could have wiped out this town, and to think if that would have happened, how many lives and injuries would have been prevented. We shouldn’t worry about the "unnecessary alarm" caused by Mowing the horn, for I feel that many would rather be aware of what’s coming than to lose their lives or" be injured, due to an insufficient warning. 1 think if we put our heads together, we could come up with something better than what we have now. Louis Diehl Thanks to MJ Dear Editor: I would like uyhank you and the committee for the recent scholarship awarded to me. The
