David Wayne. Slim Pickens and Harry Morgan The metamorphosis of Don Knotts began a couple of years ago when the comedian, after a long, bright. Emmy-studded career in television, began hankering for new challenges Knotts set forth as “The Last of the Red Hot Lovers" in Neil

Simon's comedy. He then toured with Art Carney in "The Odd Couple” and Pamela Britton in "The Mind With the Dirty Man.” Between times he played clubs and returned to TV for special appearances. “The Apple Dumpling Gang” is his first movie since he wound up a long term contract with Universal Studios four years ago in “How to Frame a Figg.” Self-Made Man Knotts has come a far piece for a skinny farm kid from Morgantown. West Virginia, who began as a self-taught ventriloquist When Knotts was 13 he bought a 10 cent gadget to throw his voice, got a dummy for a cereal box top and 50 cents, and set up as a ventriloquist. He performed mostly at service club meetings, using his own material. To this day he writes for himself a great deal. "The Apple Dumpling Gang" is a welcome-back-to Disney for Don, who debuted there in The Mouse Factory TV series The color by Technicolor comedy was directed by Norman Tokar under Bill Anderson's producership for Buena Vista release.

Commission duties listed

Dear Editor: News accounts of a number of Syracuse town board meetings recently have quoted town clerktreasurer Betty Dust as being concerned over the makeup and duties of the commission which operates the dam in Crosson Park that maintaitas the level of lakes Syracuse and Wawasee. The dam is the property of the town of Syracuse, which owns water rights to the lakes After a number of years of hit-and-miss operation of this dam. a Purdue university hydrology team studied its operation and the level of the lakes extensively in the 1960 s The Purdue team had access to historical data concerning the lake level back for several decades, and using it. established a program for operation of the dam based on these data and an order of the Kosciusko, circuit court in the 1940 s which set the legal level of the two lakes The commission approach was decided upon because it was thought by the then-members of the Syracuse board of trustees that in addition to town representatives, persons from the two lakes involved should have some word in the dam operation Thus the commission is composed of six members — Mrs. Dust and Louis Kuilema. appointed by the town board; Paul Penn and the undersigned, designated by the Wawasee Property Owners Association, and Charles Kroh and Louis Rogers, appointed by the Syracuse Lake Property Owners. Mrs. Dust has been briefed in both manual and automatic operation of the dam. Her concern that the commission does not meet regularly has been recognized, and she has been advised that a meeting will be held anytime she thinks one is necessary. The fact remains, however, that commission members have agreed to abide by the Purdue study recommendations, which take into account not only the desirable lake levels but also anticipated seasonal fluctuations, rainfall, runoff, and the capacity of Turkey Creek into which the dam spills.

Mrs. Dust’s concern that “a letter" was sent out to Wawasee Property Owners concerning the dam. and she did not receive a copy, is a misapprehension on her part. The members of the Wawasee Property Owners receive regular newsletters. Because it is felt that an enlightened populace can best determine the courses of action it wishes to take, one of these regular newsletters recently told about the dam commission, as we have just done above, and identified its members. The members on the dam commission are there to serve their fellow residents by providing a local monitoring of a local function. Both the Wawasee and Syracuse property owners associations, as well as the town board which set up the commission. felt that this local control is in the best interest of the local lakes and the people who live here and pay taxes here. We personally feel it is far superior to control by distant bureaucrats from Indianapolis. Washington or some other remote place, or even disinterested persons at the county seat, and hope Mrs. Dust agrees. Wiley (Bill) Spurgeon. Jr. President. Wawasee Property Owners Assn. Stolen checks are distributed in this area The Syracuse police department has issued a warning that stolen checks are being distributed in the area. The checks are pay roll checks from the Syracuse Furniture Specialty company. The company has been out of business a number of years. They are drawn on the State Bank of Syracuse. i Never underestimate people of small statue. Vinegar Joe Stillwell once observed that the higher a man climbs the more his rear is exposed.
