Plans are progressing nicely for the Pickwick Place arts and crafts event this coming Saturday, according to a spokesman this week, with some really unusual talent to be shown Several businesses plan changes, including re-locations in the caning three or four months. More on this later. Police officer Joe Thornburg is telling friends to be good to him, for he won’t be around after the first of the year to kick around any more. Sounds like an old Nixon wheeze.

The racer came to rest on Don, with its roll bars demolished. Don was 6th in overall in the five-state racing circuit last year, and had won three in a row at Kokomo this year. “That's my last racing car,” he said, but didn't rule out racing for another owner sometime in the future Bonnie Bjella from the Syracuse Public Library reports her summer reading club, the Monster (Tub. is going “real good.” So far she says she has about 218 kids signed up for the program which lasts 10 weeks unbl August Even though Bonnie loves kids and the fun she’s having with the club, she says, ”I'll be glad when the 10 weeks is UP” Are all your 218 monsters

Warren Benson, the dry cleaning man. has a gripe he’s carrying to the Syracuse town board and its committee on parking. He thinks the west end of Pearl street should not be a one-way street, cutting off traffic from Dolan street wanting to park in the city’s parking lot on Pearl street.
