So you think you’ve had it tough the last week or so, what with the sub-zero weather and all. Did you ever think of the muchmaligned postal carriers who make their appointed rounds daily, come rain, or shine, hail or sleet, or gloom of night, as the saying goes. . w Well, even he has it better than his predecessor of years gone by. as the above photo will testify. It’s a picture of the late Fred B Self, father of Louise S Byland of Syracuse who carried mail in the above rig on r 1 Syracuse. The photo, taken sometime from 1903 to ISIS, shows a horse Louise remembers as “old Frank." To hear her tell It. he really was a part of the family. When Frank died the familyhad his hide tanned at the Scott Schafer tannery- in Milford and it still reposes in front of the fireplace at Louise s home at 318 South Lake Street.- Syracuse As a young girl, Louise recalls taking her naps, lying on ‘old Frank”. She said one time she thought he needed a haircut, and proceded to cut his locks, a mute reminder of a youthful flight of fancy. Louise also recalls that old Frank could not make the entire mall route, particularly in bad weather, and that a change of horses took place on the Crowl farm near Dewart Lak*, a farm MW owned by Jim Howard Well, anyway, it might be interesting to know that contemporary mail carriers of Mr Self’s were the late Jerome Deardorff. father of Ida of South Main Street, Harry Culler. Hallie Halloway and Jake Kern I. whose progeny still tread the local turf. The Saturday morning train wreck on the B A O tracks in Syracuse caught a lot of locals off guard, especially since It happened in the dark early morning hours, and east of the Huntington street corner. Gerald Hubbard, for one. saw the two cars turned over west of the crossing, but that's all He walked in the uptown case for coffee and was told about the wreck, then sheepishly said he didn't look east. Jack Schacht rubbed his eyes and said.-"! didn’t see any train wreck." at which Jerry Ganshorn threw his head back for a hearty guffaw. Many were those who had to be

told at|out the wreck, and then it wasn't until later that the crowds gathered, in the light of day. Doug Allen turned out to be a photographer on the job as he flicked his Bic to find his Polaroid camera settings in the dark of the early morning hours. Someone quickly noted this is the second wreck for the B & O in recent weeks, the other at Milford Junction, about six miles west of Syracuse. Local mover and shaker Joe Hughes looked amazed at the sight and sound of the four big "cats” of Hulscher Emergency Service. Bluffton, as they picked up and moved ,the derailed cars at the wreck.

He was home for the day from work because it was too cold to pour cement. If you haven’t seen Tom Rankin around lately it’s because he’s managing a business at 225 pixieway North, South Bend, just a few- blocks north of Notre Dame on US 31. He’s running the place for

Larry Baumgardt, and it’s called That Sail Boat Place, same name and line of merchandise Larry’s Wawasee Village has. The purchase by Baumgardt was made effective January L The Rankins plan to continue to reside in the Syracuse community. Bob Diehl wants to know if Paul Levernier is late or early, in as much as he still has his Christmas decorations up at his beautiful Lake Wawasee horn®. The Syracuse NIPSCo office js being overrun with -complaints about high utility charges (although they don’t want this fact known), and has posted a Mail-Journal page 1 article, proclaiming in big type WORST WINTER IN A CENTURY, in clear view of all patrons Betty Brammer has purchased a three-bedroom brick house in Muncie just three blocks from the Ball State University football stadium, and hopes to move there in September where she already has a job lined up.

What local newsgal warmly garbed in winter pj's slipped into a snowmobile suit quickly last Wednesday night to cover a story as water flowed down SR 13 through the stoplight and on south — and finished by warming herself (garbed as same) Vvith a wanning drink at The Anchor? The local Beta Sigma Phi sorority is sponsoring a family portrait event at Pickwick Place in February — but what is really different is the colorful picture and mounting. It’s worth looking into. This community should watch a young, 18-year-old magician as he developes his sleight-of-hand talents. He’s Barry Hayden, son of the Don Haydens, and he entertained about 40 youngsters at the Syracuse library last Wednesday p.m. His big act is escaping from a stockade —a fete be accomplished in 13 seconds to the shrill delight of his enthusiastic audience.
