Coke people tell it. Considerable credit goes to Les Webber of the Cow Palace for spearheading the promotion. The success Les experienced in the earlier uptown merchants* promotion gave him heart to tackle this, bigger promotion. Many, interested to the welfare of the commercial Syracuse community, have been talking for a long time about a com-munity-wide promotion and have met with one rebuff after another, but this time it looks like it to about to rom| off. Goshen merchants finally found the light and buried the hatchet with the shopping centers, and went in for a com-munity-wide Sidewalk Sales, and had the most successful sale in the history of that city. And so K will be here. Yoo U want to be on hand for the big event See you there.

TOWNSMAN MAURICE Crow, whose funeral was Monday, got a lot of mileage out of being what he laughingly called Turkey Creek township's loan Democrat.” Manrice wns a successful businessman who spent a lifetime in the Syracuse community, and he was a Democrat, to be sure. He was a precinct committeeman for many years and served on a number of county committees with dignity and pride to his community. CONTRACTOR C. J. Mohler just couldn’t keep it to himself. Last Thursday morning early be had to make a quick trip to New Paris to inspect a job, and as he approached that town from the east he looked into his rear-view mirror and saw a member of the gendarmes approaching, light aflicker. And so it was a speeding ticket for good old C. J. He claims it to bto first ever. WE WERE taken to task about our item that only the bank, Klink’s and Thornburg drugs were among the 4-H livestock auction purchasers at the county fair. It seems that Augsburger's Super Valu also were among the buyer* — purchasing sheep from Tim and Kathy Butt. We regret /the oversight, but it was not ' reported to us this way. Jim Plummer, who bought for the bank, lamented at the poor showing, and spoke of organizing merchants for next year’s livestock sale. It’ll work. too. WE REPORTED here last week that Joni English. “Miss Pierceton” in the county fair queen contest, collected over 13.700 for the speech and bearing clinic to her effort to win the county crown. Now we learn that Vicki Arnett, as “Miss Mentone” in the contest and adjudged first runner-up, collected $2,130, and Laura Bradbury as “Miss Warsaw I,” collected $1,600. GORDON LOPEZ of Phoenix. Ariz., and recent purchaser of Seth Ward’s “silver streak” said this week he had purchased the auto with plans to restore it, however, is currently needing a place to store it here or will need to sell it — due to a problem of getting it back to .Arizona. Anyone interested should contact Gordon, currently vacationing at Lake Wawasee where his parents have a summer home MRS. JUNE Laudeman called our Syracuse office the other day and wanted to make sure it was known that Jan Miller earned $450 swimming to the Cystic Fibrosis Swim-A-Long held Saturday. Aug. 0. Jan swam across Lake Wawasee in gloomy, wet weather to earn the amount for the good cause. Many thanks to all the swimmers who participated in the event.
