AT THE TOP of this column is a picture of the home of Hendriks Jans Ferverda. great-great grandfather of Hiram Ferverda of r 1 North Webster, which is located at Blija. Holland. Province of Friesland It was taken by Irene (Shock 1 Ferverda, Hiram's ebullient wife, with her trusty Polaroid when she and her husband and two other couples made an ex- ~ cursion to the Netherlands to track down some of the family ancestors and kin. * With the Ferverdas on their three-week trip were Lester and Pauhne (Shock) White of North Webster, and Jim and June Deardorff of South Bend W. ... uMtred tiermany. Belgium. Italy, Switzerland. Austria and France, the Ferverdas spent nine days in Holland visiting their longdeparted relatives. They found two ferverda families and visited them, at Blija. and another family at Koudun, Holland They took note of the fact that three generations of the Ferverdas in Holland were in the school teaching profession, according to Irene

Among the treasures they found an old Dutch church built in 1300 and still used for Sunday worship. They visited it on a Sunday afternoon but didn't get to attend services there, however. All of this roots-seeking has sparked Irene Ferverda to continue in her new pursuit and towrite up a family history This avocation has become a consuming interest in the country, particularly since Alex Haley's book "ROOTS” was serialized on television — and one can safely assume Irene Ferverda has caught the spirit —o— THIS COLUMN has a handsome bachelor reader, knowledgeable in the ways of the world, particularly that of women folks, who contends thusly: 15 per cent of all blind dates lead to a second date; five per cent to a third date; three per cent to “something more lasting"; and one per cent to the sawdust trail.

Rex calls it “a real buy” for anyone who wants access to the Barbee chain of lakes and Tippecanoe Lake.

Village to handle expanding personnel and expanding business. LOOK FOR Syracuse to have a new business soon —a popular Radio Shack, a Tandy Corporationcompany. The store will be franchised to two local gogetters. THE HEADLINE in a page 2 article in last week’s M-J, to the effect that ’’Tattle buys Florida golf course” was a mistake and was misleading, we ruefully learned late last week. The article, however, was entirely correct in stating that Tom Tuttle, well known owner and operator of the popular South Shore Golf Course near Syracuse, has taken over management of the Deer Creek Country Club in Deerfield. Fla. Tuttle is being assisted by Bill Galloway, greens superintendent and assistant manager; Steven Roderick, golf pro; and Devone Green, kitchen manager. In a telephone conversation from Deerfield late last week, Tuttle commented that this mistaken headline caused embarrassment to his family, a fact we sincerely regret. DON IMPEY, one of the new owners of Bishop's Wawasee Boat Co., calls it a "mid-life occupational change**, this thing he's doing by moving his interests to the Syracuse area. Don has a background in broadcasting and publishing, broadcasting with ABC-TV, Chicago, and publishing with such prestigious firms as Meredith Press. Simon & Schuster and David C. Cook Pub. Co. He's married to a pretty English miss whose heavy accent is a sure give-away of her ancestry. His partner. M. Douglas Anderson. has been spending his summers at Lake Wawasee since he was three years of age. He is erudite, holding a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) from. Harvard’s highly-held school of business He also holds an assistant professorship of finance at Northern Illinois University at DeKalb, 111. You'll be hearing more from these fine young men as time goes on. A full blown announcement of the transaction that took place Oct. 3 will be forthcoming in these columns

next week. JEANNE JONES called into our Syracuse office the other day and reported that Jimmy Oneal. former well-known Lake Wawasee resident, suffered a stroke last Tuesday. Jimmy now lives in Pasadena, Calif., at 1505 Kenmore Road. Mrs. Jones said Jimmy is listed in critical condition at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena. Jimmy used to reside at Vawter Park and was often seen playing golf at the South Shore Golf Club. Those wishing to send their best wishes should either write the hospital or his home address in Pasadena. REX REYNOLDS, recently of the Old and New Shop, is nowemployed with Jake and Pat Bitner in their burgeoning Overhead Door Company south of Syracuse. MIKE SHELINE is the young man who is operating Wawasee Billiards, located in the building formerly occupied by Wawasee TV & Appliance. IF THIS COLUMN ever needs a fill-in. it will probably call on Frank Bush, new man at Todd Realty, who has a master's degree in journalism. Frank and wife Joyce, who reside on r 3 Syracuse, have four children: Joyce Ann, student at Ball State U.; Robert, student at Michigan State U.; John, in retail sales at Flint. Mich.; and Joe, a freshman at WHS. ACTIVITY RESUMED its normal pace Monday at the United Telephone Company office here at Syracuse. Workers went on strike approximately five weeks ago concerning a contract settlement. The strike ended Friday. IN LAST week's column we reported that an Overeaters Anonymous Club is being formed in the area, with Francis Magley. r 1 box 283 North Webster, in charge of the operation It seems Mrs. Magley is not from North Webster, but Warsaw. So. anyone wishing more information on the club, should contact her at r 1 box 283 Warsaw. instead of North Webster. Sorry about the mistake! A NEW business has opened in Syracuse. Wawasee Billiards, located on SR 13 South, in the building previously occupied by Wawasee TV and Appliances. Mike Sheline of r 4 is the new owner of the business, which officially opened October 1. Wawasee Billiards features a Complete line of billiard equipment as well as pinball. The business is celebrating its grand opening now.

Legal services program to hold advisory council meeting

The southern office of the Legal Services Program which serves Kosciusko, Starke, Fulton, Pulaski, and Marshall Counties will hold its first advisory council meeting on Thursday, Oct. 13, at 7 p.m. at 321 East Eighth Street, Suite 202, Rochester. The Legal Services Program Advisory Council establishes the goals and policies for the southern office. It serves as a responsive community "sounding board”, which allows Program staff to determine how the program is being accepted by the community it serves. The advisory council also formulates priorities by which the program staff can accordingly align its activities and keeps staff members in touch with the localized needs of poor persons residing in the five counties served. Staff attorneys will report to the advisory council at each meeting on the progress that has been made. Staff attorneys will also discuss new objectives and activity with the advisory council members. Members of the board of directors of the Legal Services Program of Northern Indiana, Inc., are selected by the advisory council. The southern office advisory council will choose five members for the board; three Don’t be afraid to ask dfimb questions. They’re easier to handle than dumb mistakes.

Otis R. Bowen, who must make the official appointments.
