says Jean Messmore, county clerk, in charge of such things. Election workers handling the returns for the May 2 primary will bring ballots and supplies to the courthouse basement, entering via the west basement door. Candidates and the public, wishing to look on, should enter via the south courthouse basement door. Two re-make teams will go over the ballots to inspect for chads and bent comers before all ballots are taken to the computer center at Sun Metal Co. on road 15 north. A re-make team will be standing by there for emergency purposes. An outside door will allow the public to look in if desired. "However, the bulk of the action is at the courthouse," Mrs. Messmore informs this column. A light vote is anticipated with only three contests on the GOP ticket (for sheriff, state representative and councilman from the 4th district), with no contest on the Democratic ticket. —o— THE SYRACUSE-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce plans to request from the State Department of Commerce that they locate one of their five mobile information units in Wawasee Village during the summer months.

While there, the group stayed at the Hyatt Regency where the conference was held. On the 4th, they were invited to the Holiday Inn at the airport for a luncheon with International union, CAPE and AIW delegates from Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Michigan. An interesting, educational and fun trip was reported by all. —o— ITS MOVING day several days this week for Carol and John Miller, new owners of the Lakeside (now Pickwick) Bakery in Wawasee Village. They purchased the equipment of B and K Kountry Korner Kafe, 925 South Huntington Street, and began moving it to their new business site on Monday.

The Millers hope to re-open for business by Friday of this week. —o— PAUL PENN related a tale of coincidences spanning the years. This past week end he attended the golden anniversary of his 1928 graduating class from Purdue University. At one of the banquets, he was seated beside the president of the alumni association, who related how his son’s car had won that day’s grand prix and his son had served as crew chief.
