around w • c,—J- t J The spelling of names has always puzzled newspaperfolks, and we usually hear about it when a name is spelled incorrectly. We ran across the following articles by Christine Buchanan, co-pubiisher and co-editor of the Washington County News. Washington. Kan., which pretty well tells the story: "What's in a name?” Shakespeare had his famous character Romeo ask of Juliet. "That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” The problem facing newspaper ’ staffs is not what we call a rose — but how we spell it. One superb example comes immediately to mind. Only those who have learned the hard way remember that a young farmer whose last name is Stigge stops his first name before he gets to the end It s Orvill. we go around correcting ourselves here in the News office; changing copy that comes in with an extra “e.” NEWSPAPERS HAVE one rule. I tell this brilliant gentleman: There is only one spelling for any given name

You've seen our “teaser" ad* in this paper, you've seen it right side up and upside down, for the past four weeks and wondered what they were all about. We know you have, because a lot of folks have talked to us about them. “What does it all mean?" they ask. Well, simply put, its our new logo. It represents a new

Not for Orvill, he retorts. I think about the ones I know. Orval. . . Orvyl. . . Orville . . and. of course. Orvill. By golly, he’s right. Think how much simpler our work would be if there were but a single way of spelling a name. NO LONGER would we have to call the school secretary to ask: Is that Debbie or Debby or Debbi — or maybe even Debi? Do you spell that Vicki or Vickie or Vicky? No longer would coaches have to remind us that it’s Cheryl — not Sheryl... or Sherrill... or Sherry! In any given week a newspaper staff handles hundreds of names, thus the process of avoiding errors in names becomes almost mind-boggling. Is this girl a Christy or a Kristi or a Christie or a Chrysti — or maybe even a Kristy. Is that one Bettye or Bettie or Betti or Bette or — if we re lucky and her mother was old-fashioned — Betty? Do you make that Tammy or Tammi or TamP > One local gal who has been bogged down in names of students finally reached the point where she even asked one male student. "Is that Randy with an ‘i’ or ’y’? HOWEVER THIS SAME gal managed to develop what appears to be a life-saving technique Having written dozens of passes for students in recent weeks, she got tired of fussing about the Vickys and the Tam mys and the Debbys — who naturally were offended if she spelled their names wrong Now when she writes a pass.

she goes as far as the final syllable. In place of a letter or tetters, she draws a blank. "Fill in your own,” she says. I’m seriously considering recommending that newspapers do the same. This writer observed the street dep- rtment out cleaning off Main Street last Friday. This cleaning was all a part of the county wide clean up day last Saturday. It looks like the railroad cars lying near the railroad tracks on 13 are finally going to be cleared away. Men were out there last Wednesday afternodn cutting them apart. Hopefully, they will be carting them away soon. Several Syracuse residents are starting to move back up to the lake from Florida. A few that have come back are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Maresh. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Woods. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey De Frees. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan C. Insley. Mr. and Mrs. Carl McLear and Mr. and Mrs. John W. Stahley. The St. Andrews United Methodist Church of Syracuse and the Calvary United Methodist Church each find themselves SIO,OOO wealthier, as a result of a stock gift from Lola and Bill Pinney. It was learned this week that the Pinneys. who are moving to Florida in the near future to a home they have purchased at Naples, have given their stock in the Syracuse Community Development Corp, to the two churches. While the Pinneys are modest about the gift, it makes the two churches the second largest stockholders in the development group. The Pinneys have done considerable renovation of old properties in Syracuse and have built the splendid Rose Garden .Apartments. They have also become involved in the local retail community. Their new home in central Naples is gorgeous, according to photos, with an enclosed pool and located on a small lake, walking distance from a golf course and

Mushrooms are out! This is the word we hear from our friends in Michigan and others who are planning their annual trek to the Wolverine state. We also hear reports of some good "finds" right here at home. We’ll always listen to any good: mushroom stories. Dr. Stephen P. Hunt, Cromwell dentist, is moving into the Syracuse sphere of action. According to realtor Phyllis (“FiFi”) Louden, he purchased the A-frame house near Enchanted Hills and will move his dental office from Cromwell to this channel location. He also purchased a model home in Wawasee Heights from Runge Construction Corp., its actual use not pinpointed at this moment.

A local man, perturbed when a youngster asked him for sponsorship on a bike-a-lhon, replied. "Heck, no, you’re supposed to ride a bicycle for fun. But I will pay you the same amount to mow my lawn."
