4 f 9’ - I ! I ■ Everyone liked this year’s Lake Wawasee Flotilla — eVen “Breezy” In the above photo. Bub Whitehead mans the controls of the homemade craft that has been the subject of so much attention lately. The unique craft hovered over the flqtilla of vessels most of the afternoon as Bub and Bob Braungardt took turns at the controls. Breezy had the skies, to itself, inasmuch as the Green Berets of the army reserve parachutist unit failed to show upThe only thing that gave Breezy a run for its money was a fly-over by four jets of the 122 d Tactical Fighter Wing of the Indiana National Guard, flying in close formation. It was a real thrill. * Overall, this year Flotilla committee members could not have asked for a better day. nor for better participation The weather was excellent, with the sun beating down the day long. \ slight breeze was enough to fill the sails of dozens ,<»f sail boats that followed the 29ehtrv flotilla Joe Morganthaler. chairman of the Flotilla committee, was thrilled And he was happy when it was all over, too It had been a long day for him and his committee <Note:Other stories of the Flotilla, its winner*, etc., appear elsewhere in" this issue of The Mail-Journal. > The Cromwell fire department fireworks on the fish hatchery side of Lake Wawasee came off fine, and thousands were on hand to see $3,000 collected mainly from cottage owners, to go up in pyrotechnics > A steady stream of traffic went both ways along the narrow road at. that "ide of the lake.

crowds, not doubt about it. Mary Hare said, “Os all the years I’ve been around this side of Lake Wawasee, I’ve never seen such a crowd.” And. incidentally, Mary said her store (Galloway’s Grocery) was sold out of everything, an indication of visitors at the Big Lake over the four-day week end. The same was true for the Syracuse fireworks at City park Sunday night. The weather’ held out just fine, and many thousands came to Syracuse to see the fireworks. In both cases of the public display of fireworks, lighted boats came by the numbers. What a spectacle! John groh deserves credit for “sandbagging” merchants and others for donations to pay for the Syracuse fireworks. After years of experience, he knows how to do it, and usually comes up with sufficient funds to defray costs. This year, however, the “kitty” fell a little short, Kroh Staten. Os the SI,BOO needed, S6OO is still needed So ... if anyone wants to contribute toward the fireworks, even after the fact, contact big John at Thornburgs. Then there was the Flotilla Ball at the American Legion hall Saturday night. Credit should go to Mr. and Mrs Jake Kern 111. and others, for the success of this year’s balk Susie Kern went all out to help brother Joe pull the Flotilla off. By Sunday p.m. when the last Flotilla trophy was handed out. Susie was hoarse.

Nearly 100 people braved real nasty weather to attend the meeting It was the second such meeting, and while some got off the subject of land use in their questions, it was a well ran, productive meeting. When the updated plan is finally passed by the Syracuse town board, everyone will have had an opportunity to speak their minds What do you think of changing the name of Syracuse to Wawasee? This has been seriously proposed by a number of for-ward-thinking townspeople, and we want the opinion of our readers before pursuing it further In ISM. after the late W. E. Long had torn down some old buildings on Main street tai Syracuse and built the original Pickwick Block, he brought a number of outstanding people to tow n to speak from the stage of the Pickwick Theater.

Almost to the man, they recommended changing the name from Syracuse to Wawasee to capitalize on the popularity of the name of Indiana’s largest natural lake. The idea created a furor at the time, with old line townspeople taking up the cudgel against the change. The columns of the Syracuse paper, then published in a barn on Henry street, was bulging with letters to the editor, pro and con. Publishers “Beany” Howard and a man named Smith from Cromwell were delighted at the issue Long had created, for it proved a boon to sales of their fledgeling newspaper. Now it comes up again, more or less over the coffee cups. The Lakeland school board apparently thought there was merit in the idea of capitalizing on the name Wawasee, as they took it for the name of our new consolidated high school. This has proved a wise choice, most everyone would acknowledge. Would it prove similarly a wise choice for the town of Syracuse to adopt the* name Wawasee? What do you think? Youth enter labor field, unemployment up Indiana nonfarm employment rose to 1,989,000 and unemployment increased seasonally to 134,100, according to preliminary estimates made by the Indiana Employment Security Division. John F. Coppes, director of the division, said that youth entering the labor force at the end of the spring semester caused the increased unemployment. An influx of young people normally occurs in June and raises the unemployment figures. For this reason, Mr. Coppes said, unemployment rates after adjustment for this seasonal occurrence better reflect underlying economic conditions. The seasonally adjusted rate decreased to 5.2 per cent in June per cent in May. The rate rose to 5.7 per cent iftkJune from 5.2 per cent in May. ' Unemployment rate in county is 5% The latest report from the Indiana Employment Security division shows unemployment in Kosciusko county to be an even five per cent. A total of 25,750 are reported to be in the labor force with 24,450 employed and 1,300 unemployed. Two injured in head-on crash Paul E. Kanver, 48, of Syracuse was treated and released Wednesday, June 30, at the Goshen hospital for cuts to his right leg, bruises and chest pains he received in a two car collision on CR 200N, a mile south of Cromwell. Kanver was eastbound on the Noble county road and passed another eastbound car when he struck a car head-on driven by Arthur H. Miller, 56, of Kimmell. Miller was admitted to the Goshen hospital with a collarbone and cuts to his head, hands and right arm. He is listed in good condition. Damage to the Kanver car was listed at $1,500 and $2,000 to Miller’s car. No arrests were made in connection with the two car accident. Car rolls into train in Milford A car driven by David R.
