REPORTS OF horses on state road 13 south of Syracuse being mistreated are unfounded, says Sandra Smith, their owner. She explains they painted their horses to look quite bony for Halloween with shoe polish, which doesn’t hurt them and comes off. She says local people have become concerned about the welfare of the creatures and the humane society okayed the painting. The horses even participated in a Halloween party, enjoying hot dogs, marshmallows and taffy apples just like the two-legged folk. TOWNSMAN EVERETT Ketering has good words for congressman Floyd J. Fithian for a quick response to an inquiry' about how to handle the wild ducks that are stranded on the icy channel in the winter on South Huntington Street. Cong. Fithian contacted Dean Jessup, head of the Tri-County Game Preserve and disposition of the ducks in a like cold winter will be made by DNR personnel. C. H.

Ken Harkless. who claims no physical fitness program but with a slight frame nonetheless, chides Ott with “What’s your hurry, there. Ott?” THE WORLD-FAMOUS anthropologist, Margaret Mead, will be a guest this week end in the home of an old and dear friend. Katherine Rothenberger. of r -2 Syracuse (Papakeechie Lake), and will renew an old friendship Mrs. Mead, whose autobiography, “Blackberry Winter,” has become a best seller, was a dose friend of Mrs. Rothen-
berger at DePauw University at Greencastle, Indiana, when they were both students there. she visited Mrs. Rothenberger last winter and her visit went almost unnoticed in the community. However, Mary (Mrs. Ernest) Bushong plans to prepare a Spanish dinner for approximately 23 local people on Sunday, that some of the local people will have an opportunity to meet Mrs. Mead. On Saturday morning Mrs. Rothenberger will hold a coffee at her Papakeechie Lake home for her distinguished guest and a few of her dose friends, and Mrs. Mead will be feted for dinner Saturday evening in the home of a well known Syracuse couple. Mrs. Mead, whose office is in the Museum of History In New York city, has appeared on a number of talk shows recently, and has spoken out loud and dear in behalf of the senior citizens of our country. WE CAN’T hardly believe water skiers were out in numbers last Wednesday on Lake Wawasee in 80 degree weather. ACCORDING TO John Ingold, professor of physical education at Goshen College, the wave of the future is not drugs or alcoholism, but a change in lifestyles. In a sense, it has already taken place, and the implications of this are manifold. Professor John, however, is talking about people’s concern for their physical well being and what they intend to do about it on a one-on-one basis. Watch for a proliferation of health spas in the next decade. ELDON CLAYTON, North Webster garden center owneroperator, stood in his “back 40” and proudly held up a huge cauliflower, and said “Look what I grow right here in my own back yard?" Eldon and Louise make up a successful twosome in the Webster business community. He’s a member of the Syracuse high class of 1933, and took us over the coals for leaving the “Remember When" column out of the M-J. THOMAS R. LEONARD, owner with his wife Peggy of Fee’s His ‘N’ Her Shop in North Webster, is one of the prime movers in the Thanksgiving
promotion in that city. Also planned is an early-December pre-Christmas promotion. EVERYONE WAS all smiles at the Counting House Bank in North Webster last Thursday morning when word was out that the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission had approved a variance of a 2.88-acre tract of land on the west side of road 13 south of Syracuse, from farm land to roadside business. The land in question is the site for the proposed Syracuse branch of the Counting House Bank. Syracuse attorney Robert Reed appeared for land owner Peter Mailers and won easy approval of the request for re-zoning. The land was adjudged unsuited for term use and that the zoning change was reasonable. The bank made application earlier in the week with the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for a branch, and it is reasonable to expect the application will be approved in due course. STEVE AND Wava Finton, 413 South Harrison, left Monday a.m. for Honolulu, Hawaii, to visit their son, Capt. Pat Finton, stationed for the past 34 years at the US Marine Station base Kaneohe Bay, and his wife and the Finton’s two grandchildren. It’s their first trip to Hawaii.

A well known couple in the Syracuse area, Steve is a retired NIPSCo lineman for four years, and to hear Wava tell it, “It’s about time we do a little traveling." HERE’S GOOD news. BiUy beer is going on sale in all county town’s today (Wednesday). This word, according to Betty Dust, owner and active operator of Kosciusko Beverage Co., of Syracuse. “There's been a great interest in the new beer," according to Mrs. Dust. She said it would be sold in cans only and as a premium beer. It’s manufactured by a Louisville, Ky., distillery, and has been widely publicized. Needless to say, it’s named after President Jimmy Carter’s maverick brother Billy, who openly admits he’s out to “make a buck" wherever he can. The beer isn’t selling so well, we hear. Even Miz Lillian didn’t give it much of a plug in a recent interview . Asked how she liked the beer named after the less famous of her. two sons, she said, “The other day I ate a hamburger with a can of Billy Beer and one of them made me sick.” Now we hear they are coming out with a beer authorized by Bert Lance called “Overdraft.” TOWNSMAN EVERETT* Miner, 29 North Shore Drive, reports an invasion of rare black squirrels in the Syracuse community. He said he saw one Friday p.m. in front of the Ray Foster residence at 219 East Main Street.

that their proliferation is in that area and Goshen and along the Elkhart River. “How they got to Syracuse I can’t say," says Miner, who is packing his bags this week for his annual trip to Florida. NO WAY could Lou and Gwen Immel get any sleep Friday night They reside at the entrance to Oakwood Park and saw the comings and goings of over IM pieces of fire-fighting equipment at the Friday night holocaust that destroyed by fire seven homes and did serious damage to five others. Then, on Saturday and even Sunday, with balmy weather, there was a constant flow of traffic into the park area and around Circle Drive to witness the fire damage.
