tRJZINM'S AROUND T ■ J . The above picture is of uptown Syracuse looking out towards the lake. Can anyone remember what year this was taken? (A hint — the picture has two cars in it). Anyone who thinks they know the answer should call or come into the Syracuse office. The first person with the correct answer will win a big pat on the back. Some people from the Army Corp of Engineers visited the property being dredged by Jack Mason Monday. The operations were found in compliance with all laws and the dredging of the channel and lakefront will continue after a two-foot dyke is constructed so any fill will not slip into the water With the warmer weather, several people were observed walking around in shorts in uptown Syracuse. One dan ng bikini-clad female even said out on the beach Tuesday afternoon trying to get a tan much to the delight of those eating picnic lunches She might not" have gotten a tan. but she sure got some looks.

about this time last year. Tellers at the State Bank of Syracuse say these bills are still coming over the counter. They say they don't have a lot of people asking for them, but they still have quite a few come in. I guess people will spend anything just so long as its green. The new picnic tables are out at the park. It looked like they were getting quite a bit of use Monday and Tuesday with the 80 degree weather. Mary and Chuck Stafford (Windjammer Restaurant) are contemplating a small bar-room on the south side of their establishment, with their son as architect The popular restaurant was recently granted a three-way license. Their predecessors. Wayne and Jane Bowers, builders of the Windjammer, have since opened a South Bend eating establishment called Calamity Jane's, sold it. and now operate a drivein in the Edwardsburg. Mich., area. There’s a local “Girl Friday" who wanted Good Friday off work so she could go shopping! Eating establishments are places of interest, and this time of year, when people are getting out. folks are searching for good eating places. One such is Charlie and Jerry Merry’s Lamplight Restaurant on road 30 on the east edge of Pierceton Effervescent Charlie features good food, to be sure, but also has his own bakery. He calls his buffet a “Roosevelt buffet,’’ you can go back again, again and again. Ed Epson of Warsaw, farmer North Webster service station operator, plays the organ on Sundays at Charlie and Jerry’s providing excellent mood music. June and Bob Laudeman. North Shore Drive, are home from a month in the Coastal East and border tropics of Texas, sporting good tans which resulted from sunshine and warm 80 degree temperatures every day. June reminds us that Texas is large enough to accommodate IS of the 50 states within its border and Brewster County is larger

than the state of Connecticut. Some of the fields on Texas farms are 180® acres in size. June and Bob were priviledged to see the nation’s largest rose garden, 22 acres planted with 85,000 rose bushes in bloom. They also drove the Azalea and Spring Flower Trail featuring massive azalea, dogwood and redbuds in 75 beautiful home gardens in Tyler. Texas.

Mrs. H. Kirkdorfer has just returned all nice and brown from a week down in Fort Meyers, Fla. She said she had a good time even with six kids along. Look for four new little stores to be opening soon behind the Overhead Door on SR 13. A developer from Marion will be opening the shops.

It looks like the new traffic light along SR 13 near the Dairy Queen might be causing some traffic problems. One Syracuse driver noted that when she was turning left from 13 onto Pickwick Road, the driver in front of .her was trying to turn left onto the side street leading to Tom Socks, but was unable to because of the long line of cars waiting for the light to turn I gr*«» She said this left her rear end sticking out on 13. ’ Maybe barricades of some kind 5 should be put up to prevent drivers from turning left onto the side roads there at the stop light or some other signs be put up. b "’“Q The newly-formed Kiwanis Club of Wawasee is planning its j charter night at the South Shore I Country Club on Saturday night The group of eager local youths s who make up the new club are j sponsored by the Lakeland r Kiwanis Club, according to Chris r Koher.

Syracuse Town Attorney Bob Reed took a vacation down to Buloxi. Miss, last week. He said the weather was real nice, only it was nice a few days before he got there and a few days after he left. So instead he went over to the panhandle in Texas. He must have found some nice weather somewhere though because of the ten he’s wearing Dispute — (Continued from page 1) several years ago.

Another woman, who resides across the road from the proposed development, said the phase two land is under water. Carroll Sherman, sanitarian, has made perk tests on lots eight through 121 in the 154iot development and found the ground satisfactory. Also speaking against the development were John Geberin, representing a number of property owners; Steve Eldridge and several others.
