This unidentified spectator sits along the Mermaid Festival parade route after the parade had gone by, and he appears to be contemplating what it’s all about The hour and fifty minute parade passed under a hot sun, but a mild breeze prevailed to make it bearable.* Estimates of the size of the crowd ranged all across the board, but a conservative guess seemed to be about 50,000 spectators. Jack Underwood of WOWO did his usual good job with the help o( some festival old hands. (Note: A picture page of the event appears elsewhere in this issue.)

Following the Queen crowning Saturday night Carla invited some of her friends, both young and old. to the home of her parents for ice cream and a sampling of a cake she made. The attractive young lady, and her equally attractive sister Cheryl, are bound to figure in the Queen of the Lakes contest in a very few years. Festival Parade Marshal Robert Orr, Indiana’s handsome Lt. Governor, had ample opportunity to huddle with Kosciusko County GOP big-wigs at North Webster Saturday. He was in the company of Senator Augsburger, State Representative Thames Mauzy and county GOP chairman Ed Pratt. In answer to a question about the possibility of Orr’s running for governor, he gave the usual circuitous political response, something along the line that he might not be alive at that time. Rest assured he's a likely candidate. He has done an excellent job for Indiana through the state chamber of commerce in bringing new industry and jobs to our state. This week end the Rich Stollers will move into their newly remodeled home on the old Bowser Rbad, following a long remodeling delay. The enterprising young couple bought the home July 8.19'6 from the Mel Drake estate, as a onestory ramshackled house with an attic and a 10x13 storage basement under the kitchen. The attic has been remodeled into three bedrooms, each with a skylight and full bath with sky light. When dry wall was completed. Mrs Stoller decided she wanted a full basement, so Lossee boys were employed to jack the house

up and the basement was put in. The house now has three bedrooms, two full baths, living room, dining room, custom kitchen, office, utility room and 1.000 foot basement. In the near future they want to move the old barn across the road beside the house. Has it all been worth it? “You bet,” says Mrs. Stoller with certainty. Gail (Mrs. John) Kroh has the cutest sunglasses: with a little heart engraved in the left lense. Bet she bought them in her home town of Jacksonville, Fla., where she and Big John were vacationing recently. Friendship Day is today, during the second annual observance of Friendship Week in Indiana. J. B. Hoy. North Webster, originator of the idea, remind us the gestures of kindness should not be restricted to this week alone. Here's a bit more about Buttermilk Point on Lake Wawasee. We ran a picture of this old favorite stopping place last week in this column According to Eli Lily, in his book. "Early Wawasee Days.” this was a popular spot for steamers cruising around the lake. He says, "Buttermilk Point, now owned by the Johnson Hotel, was at pleasant family resort noted for friendliness and good food, operated by the Hilbert family.” "After rising from the lowground. below the high bank, near a redolent spearmint bed. the cool water of a spring flowed through a trough in an old log milkhouse around well-scrubbed crocks filled with delicious buttermilk, sweet milk and cream. The steamers all stopped there on their way around the Lake, their warning whistle bringing Mother Jarrett down the hill — most often in her bare feet, for the tone of the (dace was very informal and friendly Visitors would then crowd into the little cabin for a treat of Mrs Jarrett's best" Mrs. Elizabeth Jarrett, wife of Lewis Jarrett. was the proprietress of the point and had a daughter. Goldie Alice, who often helped her mother at the point. Our sincere thanks to Jerry Rensberger for bringing the

picture of the old point in. Jenaie (Mrs. Howard) Heckaman, rural Milford and operator of the grill room at Tippecanoe Country Club for the past three years, doesn't want it to go unnoticed that she got a kiss from comedian Phil Harris. It was her idea to make him a small birthday cake with three candles and present it to him as a highlight of the Bruce Jenner King of Sports coronation last Wednesday. Harris, from Linton, Ind., and a real light comedian of years back, is well known as the husband of pin-up girt Alice Faye. Which birthday is it? Harris was not saying. This year’s Lake Wawasee Flotilla will have to go on without the entry’ of the two Mikes — Umbaugh and l^iley. It’s just too much for me this year with kids graduating, and one entering Culver Military Academy, to get around and enter a float,” stated former Marion judge Mike Kiley. The Kiley-Umbaugh floats have been unique over a 10-year period, a number of times walking off with the coveted Commodore’s trophy, but always with one honor or another. Mike Kiley, however, has a secret ambition of serving as a Flotilla judge this year. Word has been received that Congressman Floyd Fithian will be in town again this coming week end. He will speak to the Wawasee Klwanis at 7 a.m., Saturday, July 2. This will take place at the Maxwelton Golf Course. Fithian is also planning to get sausage and pancakes at the breakfast, sponsored by the VFW. Anyone wishing to talk to Fithian or hear him speak should plan to attend these events. The Papakeechie Protective .Association will be holding a yard and bake sale this Saturday at the Fish Hatchery. R. C. (Ted) and Susie Tytler of Lake Wawasee marked their 35th wedding anniversary Monday. They were married June 27, 1942 by Rev Seele (now deceased) at

the St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. Dale Gans, a sophomore at St. Leo College north of Tampa, Fla., is helping his dad at American Industries during the summer months. His brother David will be a freshman at the U. of Tampa, both boys with an eye to a business administration course. The sign in the window of Glon Furniture says “Hurrah! We are grandma and grandpa.” John and Nancy have reference to their new granddaughter. Darcy Rebecca, born at 6:30 a.m. last Wednesday to son-in-law and daughter. Jon and Jennifer Coy. It makes their second grandchild, the first being seven-month-old Angela, bom to John Jr., and Dawn. Bill Coburn says the street in front of Ms new insurance office has not been named. He wants to call it "Harris Drive” after his friend and real estate partner Charlie Harris. Fred Byland offers this name as a suggestion: “Easy Street.” If you have inclinations toward burglary we should warn you a lot of local establishments have turned to big. ferocious dogs, and we're not about to tell you which establishments these are. Our advice: Beware! And now it’s Flotilla days in and around Syracuse. The Fourth of July week end is all tied in with a host of Flotilla events (see page 1. this issue), and it promises "something for everyone.” Syracuse uptown merchants decided to tie in with the Lake Wawasee Flotilla and its attending events this year, with a three-day program of events in the uptown business district. An advertisement on the back page of the second section of this issue details these events. Not the least of which is the appearance of beautious Miss Lynn Flagherty of Nappanee who was "Miss Indiana” in the "Miss America” contest at Atlantic City, N.J. Miss Flagherty will be on hand from 5 to 6 p.m. on Thursday signing autographs, and talking to Flotilla Progress Days visitors. Then, of course, there's the Saturday night Flotilla Ball, the Flotilla Monday afternoon and the fireworks at city park Monday night. Credit goes to a number of people for putting all this together. Les Webber of the Cow Palace has worked like a trooper m putting the Flotilla Progress Days together, and Joe Morganthaler, Bob McNary and Ted Rogers are among those who have masterminded the Flotilla and is attending events. So It’s hat's off to these folks, and may it all turn out well under sunny skies! Thompson presides over grange meeting St-Mar-Kos Pomona Grange met at the Bremen Grange Thursday evening, June 16.
