ABE MARTIN says, “There can never be perfect happiness where the salt shaker is allowed to get empty.” DARREL GRISAMER. the town’s Turkey Creek Dam representative, is in a position of “heck if you do and hecle if you don’t.” The high waters have presented a predicament where anyone in charge of controlling the water level can’t suit everyone. . At the present time water is pouring over the Huntington Street dam at a high rate, yet those living on the Big Lake are suffering from an inundation of high water. Grisamer will “catch heck" if he opens the dam and floods out the low lands along Turkey Creek winding through Turkey Creek and Vanßuren townships. Best we can hope for is a gradual lowering of the water level through natural run-off and evaporation. —o— TWO HANDSOME" eager young couples have c6me to the community recently and have become active members of the business community.

Fort Wayne where they lived in a large house on the north side. They now make their home on Johnson’s Bay, and recently opened the Anchor Man, a men’s clothing store in Wawasee Village. They’re not only a striking young couple, but it would appear they have a lot to offer our community. The Millers, equally striking and eager, have purchased Lakeside Bakery in Wawasee Village and took over early last week. They did own and operate Pickwick Papers in Pickwick Place, most of which they hope to incorporate at their new location. They bought the bakery from Joe and Howard Stametz who have owned and operated it for the past 22 years. Carol is at the front counter, meeting customers and learning the wherefore of the trade, while John is in the kitchen learning how to bake. They have a lot of plans to extend their service. We would urge our readers to get acquainted with these two couples and welcome them to the community. —o— WARREN SWARTZ, now an Elkhart County resident but formerly a Wawasee Village resident, was in town over the week end briefly, and told friends of his forthcoming race for sheriff of Elkhart County . Swartz is a longtime deputy in

that county, and as a Democrat is unopposed in next month’s primary election. There are three running for the office on the Republican side, he tells friends, including incumbent Dick W. Bowman. Swartz’s friends wish him well, although they can’t vote for him. —o — JOE BAUMGARTNER, tall and strikingly handsome son of Joe and Bemiece Baumgartner of 719 South Fourth Street, Syracuse, has a year to go to complete his dental school training $t the Indiana University School of Dentistry at Indianapolis. He has been scouting the area for a location to settle, and has pretty much settled on Nappanee as a site. Mrs. Baumgartner is the former Brenda Hurd of Milford, whose late grandfather. Dr. E. R. Hurd, was a well known Milford dentist. —o — TIFFANY ROSNER, the nine-year-old daughter of Realtor Danette Rosner whose firm of Tiffany Ltd. in Pickwick Place is named after, is a young lady to watch. —o— Exceedingly bright, with quick, snapping eyes, she is a carbon copy of her enterprising mother. Tiffany calls herself Tiffany I. noting that her young friend. Tiffany Williams, who lives on Lake Wawasee and is "about six,” is Tiffany 11. —o— EVELYN AND Gerald Cramar, r 1 Syracuse, are anxiously awaiting June 26 when they will board a plane for a non-stop flight to Tokyo, Japan, later to leave for Okinawa for a visit with their daughter Marie and their new son-in-law, Robert Ackerntan. They completed arrangements for the overseas trip last week. They will remain in Okinawa until July 14 when they will

return byway of Seattle, Wash., and Minneapolis, Minn. They will cross the International Date Line coming and going and are already anticipating time zone changes and jet lag they’ve heard so much about. Their trip has a further anticipatory note in that Evelyn has never flown in a large jet plane before. -oHAND TOOLED aircraft are the thing for "Bub” Whitehead and Robert K. Braungart, and now they’ve enlisted the aid and expertise of Jerry Herbison in their latest adventure. The adventure amounts to rebuilding a hand made Stits in the Herbison garage on Front Street. The plane is called an “experimental” or “acrobatic” craft, and should be ready for flight in about 30 days. Whitehead and Braungart have collaborated with Dave McGrew in building the much-heralded and so they’ve had considerable experience in this sort of thing. —o — SEEN ON the desk of Elaine (Mrs. Frank) Greco, Girl Friday at Kosciusko Community Hospital: I diet religiously. I don’t eat in church. —o—" NEW FACES in the Syracuse business community include Sally (Mrs. Ronald) Gillum, r 4 Syracuse, at First Charter Insurance Agency; and Diana Leamon of Cromwell, a junior at Wawasee High School and a part time employee at First Charter. Also new is Joan (Mrs. Jerry) Glancy of Kanamanayunk (some call it Johnson's Bay), a teller at First Federal Savings & Loan, in the Village. —o— DONNA CONDER, Rose Garden Beauty Salon, came in with a request the other day. She

is working on the Flotilla committee headed up by William Beemer. It seems not too many people are signing up to enter floats in the parade. Anyone wishing to enter, or who has a boat they might lend out, please contact Donna or Beemer. —o— JIM PLUMMER, a partner in Ganshorn Printing, is picking up Jerry Ganshorn’s ways. Plummer now has the übiquitous pencil behind his right ear, a Ganshorn trademark for a long time. —o— DON AND Charlotte Hayden are plowing up about 50 acres of land between their Wawasee Airport runway and the Chessie Railroad tracks to plant in soybeans. Asked why, Charlotte said the Kosciusko County Area Zoning Board recently rezoned the parcel, airport and all, agricultural, and that at best this keeps them from having to mow this acreage. —o— STATE REPRESENTATIVE Thames L. Mauzy of Warsaw was Syracuse Tuesday campaigning for re-election to his seventh term in the legislature. He is on 10 state legislative committees, including the committee of natural resources, on which he has served for 12 years. —O—ONE D>W Jast week there were seven taores of diners having lunch at South Shore and six of them were occupied by local realtors. —o— CHET AND Carol Elder have purchased the Vernon T. Beckman furniture building at 724 South Huntington Street, Syracuse, and will re-model it into office buildings. Occupants in the building besides Elder Realty will be the independent law firms of Jim Howard and Richard VerWebe and the insurance firm of Funich and Shaw. The Elders have sold their two buildings in the Village to an Indianapolis party. —o— WAS THAT Rev. Ross Cook, of the Calvary United Methodist Church, who ran out of gas in the village last Thursday, just two blocks from the gas station? It sure looked like him. —o— IT’S NOT at all difficult to see why Sidney C. Howell is president of The Weatherhead Company. He showed off all the good traits of a top executive when he appeared before the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club and a number of principal townspeople Tuesday noon to tell "The Dana Corporation Story,” Dana being the mother company of Weatherhead. Urbane, articulate, friendly — all the qualities a top executive, and in his early 50s, possessed of the spark that works well with a multi-national corporation such as Dana. Mr. Howell presented himself and his company well, and he was well received. Several “old timers” remember when Weatherhead chose to locate one

of its plants in Syracuse and the enthusiasm that greeted the new venture when they spoke of bringing a million dollar payroll to Syracuse. Now that payroll stands at $8 million annually, including fringes. Weatherhead has become the largest employer in the area. We would echo a remark heard at the Tuesday luncheon: Weatherhead has been good for Syracuse, and we’d like to think Syracuse has been good for Weatherhead. We hope Mr Howell got that impression when he was here this week. —o— SYRACUSE elementary school principal Robert Hamman was seen eyeing a new Mark V uptown early this week. Wheif asked if it were his, he said, “Goodness, no. If I had a car like that the school board would take a second look at me." —o— IT’S COME to this column’s attention that, of all the Realtors and real estate salesmen in this area, Ernie Rogers is the only "true native," who was born and bred in the Syracuse tradition. —o— WE WERE reminded this week that April 23-29 is Youth Temperance Education Week, as proclaimed by Governor Otis R. Bowen. The following reads a portion of Bowen’s proclamation: "To all whom these presents ’ may come greetings. Whereas, it is most important to the future of our state that we have educated young people as our leaders, who will also be educated to the dangers of alcohol use, drugs and tobacco and thus be leaders with clear minds. Now therefore, I, Otis R. Bowen, Governor of the State of Indiana, do hereby proclaim the week of April 23-29, 1978, as Youth Temperance Education Week.” The Lakeland Concerned Citizens Committee will be holding its last meeting of the school year on these problems of alcohol, drug and tobacco use. Henry Smith, principal of Wawasee High School, Syracuse Marshal Ron Robinson and Captain Tom Kitch, of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, will hold a panel discussion. The meeting is Monday at the high school. It seems educating our young is becoming more and more vital. —o— SEVERAL POEMS on the “Blizzard of ’7B” and on spring have sprung up in the Kosciusko County Lines column in ‘the paper.’ Anyone from the Syracuse area wishing their lines to be seen in Cruzin, please feel free to drop them off at our Syracuse office. You might want to try this old South Carolinian health remedy some day: Warts will go away if you take a kernel of corn for each wart—and throw them over your left shoulder into a river. m§§ The U.S. and France are the world's largest producers of apples.
