that ground was broken last week for the new indoor tennis courts just west of the Holiday Inn at Goshen. He added that he hopes this puts to rest the doubts some had when the announcement was first made of the new sports facility. Maynard Hochstetler, Nappanee district manager for United Telephone Co., will move to head the Warsaw training school for the company July 6, where he will remain for at least a year, in what is termed a crosstraining program Taking his place as district manager will be Gene Evans, now head of the Warsaw school. Maurice Howe, owner of Yellow Banks Hotel, reports a "packed house" for the Jack Morgan appearance there June 10th Jack has taken over the band his dad. Russ Morgan, made famous. Howe is working on more "big band" appearances this summer, but says billing is so uncertain due to their full summer schedules. The Morgan band was booked last October. J. Homer Shoop, the main spring behind the origination of the Mermaid Festival and more recently the Camelot theme that has revitalized the tiny North Webster, is now off on a new one. He is putting together a team to cbme out (annually he hopes) with a slick magazine to sell for SI called the Camelot Herald, complete with International Palace of Sports features, some ads.

Don Hays, co-owner of the Kale Island Beacon, is telling friends he spells his name like Ohio congressman Wayne Hays (no "e"), but that they are no relation and do not necessarily enjoy all the same extracurricular habits. A sight to see was the group of water skiers, members of Water Ski. Inc., on Leeland Shores Sunday afternoon, practicing for the national competition to be held on a lake near Warsaw soon. Plans are to hold the national competition on Leeland Shores after this year. Speaking of skiing. Teresa McClain did a first-time-up, also on Leeland Shores. She’ll be 12 on the Fourth of July, and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McClain, r 1 Syracuse. "Just testing," was the replyfiremen gave for the false alarm at 11:It a.m. Monday. The alarm refused to respond earlier when there was a fire, so this time was a test. People scurrying to the streets to watch the trucks scream by soon found it to be a false alarm, but an important one at that. Charlene Knispel called the MJ office and asked us to inform Syracuse residents that they mayregister to vote at the assessor’s office in the House in the Village on SR 13. Wawasee Village from 8 to 4 p.m. week days and 8 to noon Saturdays. She reminded us that anyone 18 and older may vote, but needs to be registered. She also reminded us that residents who have made a move since their last registration needs to re-register or at least check to see if they are still in their same precinct. Anyone who may have difficulty getting to lhe assessor's office to register at the hours stated above, call Charlene and she will try to help Motor stolen from Epworth Forest pier A 94 horsepower Johnson outboard motor was stolen from the A.
