tfiUZIN AROUND

HAVE HEART! The prolonged, exhausting, tiring, expensive winter is about to pass. This is the assurance of weather predictors in these parts — and we want to take their word so badly. This has been a real bad one from many points of view. Ask any service people, for example, from rural mail carriers to general service people. Snowfall has reached record proportions, and icy roads have caused any number of accidents, not all of them minor, either. “Bud” Slabaugh will back us up on this statement, and so will police chief Ron Robinson’s record book. But, as we say “Have Heart,” it is due to pass. After all, this is the eighth of March. Our hope is that the thaw doesn’t come too suddenly to cause undue flooding. ALONG THIS line, Lake Wawasee resident &Lou Craig assures us that for the many years he has been coming to the lake he has heard that the ice will be off the lake by St. Patrick’s Day — March 17. Let’s hope this year is no exception. TURKEY CREEK township trustee Joe O. Shewmon doesn’t plan any massive campaign to retain his office. He has no opposition on the Republican ticket for a primary contest, nor will he

have opposition in the main November election. Either Joe is an insurmountable candidate or there isn’t much interest in the onerous post. AREA NATURAL gas users who knew George Shoup were saddened to hear of his untimely death. A Goshen native, George worked out of the Syracuse NIPSCo office. He was congenial, able and had the wide respect of his fellow workers. He died Friday, at 50, and was buried Monday in a service that brought out most of his fellow workers. THE WEST Coast practice of plastic surgery (commonly known as “face lifting”) that has spread to the masculine sex is expected to catch on hereabouts. It wouldn’t surprise us one bit. SEEN ENGRAVED on the lid of a small box encased in glass in the lobby of the Inter-Continental Hotel in London. There are two days about which no one should worry — yesterday and tomorrow. THIS COLUMN is deeply indebted to four persons in the community for contributions made during the past four weeks: school superintendent Don Arnold, Muncie Star editor Bill Spurgeon, Calvary EUB United Methodist minister Ross Cook,

and bank vice president Dolores Bachelder. They all turned out to be excellent columnists, according to comments received at this desk. It all served to give our readers a broader outlook on our community, first on the academic world we live in, second the historic viewpoint of our community, third the ecclesiastic, and last the financial. Someone commented favorably to Mr. Arnold about his talents as a journalist, stating if ever the “superintending” played out he could make a living by writing. His comment: “No way.” Anyway, it’s our thanks to the four, all of which have an abiding interest in our community. COLONEL JOE Gray, Lake Wawasee, noted on the death of his mother in Florida last week that his family has a long history in the clergy, encompassing six generations. His great-grandfather and grand uncle were priests in the Episcopal Church, and his grandfather, William Crane Gray, was Bishop of Southern Florida. His father, Campbell Gray, was Bishop of Northern Indiana from 1925 to 1944 and the home in which his mother passed

away last week, the Bishop Gray Inn at Davenport, Fla., was named after Col. Joe’s father, since funds he raised as bishop went to found the home. Col. Joe’s brother, the late Francis Campbell Gray, was Dean of Cathedral of South Florida at Orlando, and he has a nephew, Ted Ridgway of Carmel, Calif., who is a priest, plus another nephew, Francis • Campbell Gray, Jr., who is a priest at Melbourne, Fla. Christopher, brother of Francis, is in seminary at Nashota House, Wis., studying for the priesthood. Then there is a sister Virginia (Mrs. George) Ridgeway, who is married to a priest, and a niece, Jane Gray Johnson, who is married to a priest. Joe’s early life had him headed for the priesthood but World War II intervened, and Joe made his career in the U. S. Marines. Now, if that isn’t all clear, a more detailed explanation will have to come from Joe himself. IT MAY be true that there is a coal shortage, but full 90-car trains of coal have been seen going west on the Chessie railroad going through town, headed either for the Gary steel mills or the NIPSCo plant at Hammond.

NOW WE learn: That Randal Oliver Altman, 22, and Randy Dee Hapner, 19, who robbed the Village Branch of the State Bank of Syracuse in the early afternoon hours of January 31, first had in mind robbing the First Federal Savings & Loan also in the Village. Investigating officers got this information from the two young men. Altman, who entered the branch bank and held up Millie Savage at gunpoint, first cased the Savings & Loan company but finally detided, due to an unusual amount of snow around the building, that a get-away would be difficult. Teller Mary Waltz said she saw a young man walk in front of the S & L firm several times, but “thought nothing of it.” Altman told someone at the Ford Agency next door that his vehicle broke down and that he was at the NAPA store and they didn’t have parts, so he was going to the drug store to phone for help. Altman told officers the snow drifts and low lights in the S & L caused him to alter his plans. Asked how she would have responded to a hold-up, Mrs. Waltz, who was the only one on duty at the time, said: “First I’d give him the money, then I’d have a heart attack.”

NOW COMES a letter with the renewal of the subscription of Arlie O. Haffner of Tullahoma, Tenn. The Haffners state they enjoy living where it’s warmer but note the winter has been colder than usual — sound familiar? They have been in Tennessee for five years and enjoy the news from the Syracuse area. THE STOUT Boutique is opening another store in Elkhart. Bonnie Workman announces that she and co-owner Jean Rogers will be taking turns managing the two stores. SOME ACTIVITY has been seen around the Cow Palace, uptown, formerly owned by Les Webber. Les closed the palace and left Syracuse last fall for Boston. Word has it that the store has been sold, but it is not known if another restaurant will open there. A NEW sign should be posted in Syracuse. “Welcome to Syracuse — Chuckhole town of the Midwest.” SEVERAL CHILI suppers are being held in the area. On March 10, the Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church choir will be holding a supper from 4-7 p.m. at the church. Then, on March 18, the Syracuse Fire Department will be featuring chili at the fire station from 5-8 p.m. THIS COLUMN offers a tip of the hat to Jack Francis and Bob Knudsen for putting together the girls’ basketball game Monday night between the Adrian (Mich.) College team and the Franklin (Ind.) College team. A crowd of about 2,800 turned out with good representation from neighboring school districts, particularly Warsaw where interest is high right now inasmuch as that school’s girls’ basketball team just won another state tourney (their second). The Monday night game created considerable public interest in girls’ sports and netted a tidy sum for the Warrior Booster Club and the Lakeland Youth Center. THE STANLEY Harpers, vacationing at the present time in Florida, are considering rebuilding their Harpers Beach Bar which burned to the ground several months ago. Our word is that they will probably rebuild, either on the same location or another location. SYRACUSE IS about to be blessed with another insurance salesman. Lawrence Thwaits, a successful farmer, now retired, is awaiting the results of his realtor’s exam, taken recently at Fort Wayne. If successful, he will join Skylark Realty. THE SYRACUSE-Wawasee Rotary might have a bridge to cross, if a local woman should apply for Rotary membership. This has become an issue with Rotary International as several women applied for membership in a California club. Guess what? They were taken in, a breach of Rotary International longstanding rule of being a “men only” organization. Several local Rotarians discussed the dynamite-laden subject, not sure what they would do. LOOK FOR a new men’s clothing store to open soon in the village across from the Radio Shack. “The rich man and his daughter are soon parted."
