AROUND .Ji *— y v The above picture of the Butter Milk Point on Lake Wawasee was brought to us by Jerry Ren sberger erf Ashland. Ohio, who stopped by our Syracuse office the other day He said as near aa he can figure out thia picture was taken in 1901. The milk point waa near where the Wawasee Fish Hatcheries are now. He also said there waa a spring house near the point, and that the spring ia still there. This is “North Webster Week" insofar as north central Indiana is concerned. It's no news to anyone in these parts that the Mermaid Festival is in full swing and people will be coming from miles around to witness a week of events that will have a special appeal to young and old alike. Tonight the Cutie King and Queen parade and contest will attract many proud parents, a build-up for the Saturday parade and "Queen of the Lakes" con test ■ 0 A highlight, of course, will be the appearance of Bruce Jenner, this year's King of Sports, the Olympic Decathelon star. A real super star, this fine young man will add glitter and luster to the Mermaid Festival. So. it's hat's off to North Webster and the little band of troopers who carry on each year what Homer Shoop and several others began in 1946. Some call it the Mermaid Festival. It could Just aa easily be called "North Webster Week.” Harlan Steffen, president of the Syracuse lakes area Ministerial Association, is calling attention to the popular boat-in to begin Sunday for its eighth year It’s an R week affair, and merits our attention in your boat as you are."

Maidenberg cites the need for better communications as the motivating factor behind this effort. I And. remember, send the infor motion to Sherry Faris, not to Mary Ellen (Mrs. Boag) Johnson of Warsaw is the new salesperson at Lucas Realty in North Webster - and was she excited last Thursday —for two reasons: First, it was her birthday, and. second, she received her first offer toward the sale of a piece of real estate.

She was personal secretary for Larry Nellans, a competative realtor, for nine years before taking her new job Boag. better known a. a Fort Wayne Piston basketball star and later coach of the Warsaw Tigers, is a builder and only recently passed his realtor exam, so it would appear the Johnson family will make another realtor duo in the area. Nancy (Mrs Fred> Curtis has a uniquely modulated voice, and when asked if she comes from the South, she replied, “Yes, south Elkhart " A discouraging thought: You can have ulcers and still not be a success. Dick and Lois Shigley have a beautiful home on Syracuse Lake with giant cottonwood trees I shading It from the setting sun.
