i- People in the News f Kind man paints picture of love

By LESLIE WHITMAN Living in North Webster is a very kind, beautiful and talented man. He can't sing, play a musical instrument or sketch a portrait. What he can do is paint a picture of love and friendship through words. j. B. Hoy has lived 41 years in North Webster at Hoy's Landing, which he developed. A real estate broker for the past 35 years, he is now semi-retired. Keeping him busy during his spare time is A Rose For Friendship which he organized two years ago. A Rose For Friendship is a society which spreads love and caring everywhere. The fourth week in June has been designated each year as Rose For Friendship Week in Indiana, with the Wednesday of that week Rose For Friendship Day. Hoy hopes this society can become nation and even world wide in time. He is presently trying to gain a national sponsor for his cause and to have a week or day proclaimed in other states as Friendship Day. What started him working on his "baby," as he fondly calls it, was when he was in Chicago and saw a faded rose on a woman's desk. He came back later and replaced her faded rose with a fresh one. Several years later, this same woman came to Fort Wayne looking for a job where Hoy's son, Phil, was working. She talked to Phil about his father, saying she had never forgotten he once gave her a rose, the f irst one she had ever received. Through this Hoy thought, wouldn't it be beautiful if he could give everyone *a rose by caring for them and offering them friendship? He said, "I can't give a rose to everyone, but through some kind act or deed, I can give you a rose."

have made. In the family division, the families of the women will be showing pieces she has made. There are four divisions in the show, each with the same five categories.

Symbol Os Friendship To Hoy, the rose is the symbol of friendship. "I have taken God's most beautiful gift, the rose, and made it into a symbol of friendship between you and me. Through the face of a rose the heart of God is revealed." The 71-year-young man has written many beautiful passages about his Rose For Friendship. A few of these include - "In a Rose For Friendship, we think beautiful. In the flowered meadows of our hearts we walk gently. Giving to those we daily meet a rose, adding beauty to their day," and in "In a Rose For Friendship we forever eclipse the world of loneliness as the sun does the light of a candle." Caring for others is all a part of Hoy's work for God. "I've got a job here to do for God. I willed myself to die young and at a very, very late date." He tries to do his best by having faith. "To me, I love life. I am eternally grateful for everything," he said. "I like to think I'm thankful for the least little thing. I have great faith in everything." Besides having faith, Hoy feels everyone should have a dream. "I have a dream. Everyone should keep a place apart within their heart for a dream. That's my philosophy of fife." He added, "If you have a dream and believe in it, you can accomplish something in this country of ours." Keeps Active Hoy, who has been a widower for 13 years, keeps active by dancing and baking. His son, Phil, is a district manager for United Telephone Company. He also has two grandchildren. Hoy realizes it might take a few years for his dream to be realized,

Webster called Love 11. This new store, managed by the Hubartt s son, Richard, opened for business March 1. It is located on SR 13 across from the Counting House Bank and next to Fee’s His-N-Her Shoppe. To celebrate the opening. Love II is having an open house this week to introduce people to the store. Opening specials are also being offered. Grand opening of the store will be held later in June. We’ve Grown Mr. and Mrs. Hubartt felt there was a need for Love II to better serve residents of North Webster, Leesburg and Warsaw. They said, “We’re expanding to grow to the Lakeland community.” Featured at the North Webster store are appliances, carpet, bedding, sofabeds, headboards and patio furniture. Name brands such as Maytag, Gibson, Seely Mattress and Norwalk Sleepers are offered. The Hubartts call this store their “mini-store.” A full line of furniture, carpet and appliances is still available through the Syracuse location. Love Furniture has also recently added on a line of woodburning stoves from Jotul. Mrs. Hubartt says, “If we don’t have it there, we’ve probably got it here.” So far the Hubartts are pleased with their reception. “It’s been excellent, business wise and local acceptance. People there have been very, very nice.” The Hubartts added that -Love II is merely an extension of the Syracuse store. All the ordering and billing still come to Syracuse and Gerald and Dina travel back and forth between the two stores as needed. Richard, 22, is the only employee so far in North Webster. The Hubartts commented they have future expansion plans in the making for both locations, but said it was too early to reveal them as yet. Besides the Hubartts, James and Laura Stucky also have a part in the ownership of Love Furniture. The Hubartts have another son, Timothy, 16. Richard, a 1975 graduate of Wawasee High School, has worked in the Syracuse store for over 10 years. Gerald said he is very pleased with the growth Love Furniture has shown over the years. “Business has been great for us. We're very grateful to people That’s what keeps us in business.” The first British monarch to visit the United States was George VI in 1939.
