I L * I jfr A FACTORY TO DOUBLE PRODUCTION — Officials of Coppes, Inc., Nappanee, broke ground recently for a million-dollar factory expansion that will double the production capacity of the century-old cabinet-making firm early next year. Plans for the addition are being reviewed on the site by David W. Stoops, director of marketing; John Price, director of operations; Hal “ Brooks, president; and Art Buro, production manager. Brooks, in making the announcement on the new plant, said the project follows over two years of intensive facilities review and planning. Housed in the new span* will be expanded facilities forcabinet building, warehousing and final assembly operations. Moving these operations will relieve other areas which can. in turn, be expanded. resulting in the 100 per cent capacity increase, Brooks said. Portions of the expansion will be operational before the end of the year, and the actual move-in will be gradual over several months this winter for minimum disruption of operations. “In increasing our output, we intend to maintain a high level of quality while providing even better service and delivery to our dealers nationally,” Brooks said.
Human skull thought to have been souvenir

Lake Street, Syracuse, on Saturday, Oct. 29, was taken to Ron Robinson, Syracuse chief of police, who then turned it over to Car of Syracuse woman stolen, wrecked, left Noble County police found a stolen car registered to Sue A.

Robinson said he was sure the skull was not one of a recent death, but he asked the Tracys if he could have an expert check it out to obtain information concerning the age of the skull and possible cause of death. Information gathered from the observation showed that the skull was that of a younger person. “Evidence of silver paint on the partial skull leads us to believe that someone had it as a souvenir and finally disposed of it,” Sullivan said. The partial skull has been sent to Indiana University for further research. Case dismissed for habitual offender Juan G. Olivo, 22, r 1 Haviland Trailer Court. Syracuse, appeared before Kosciusko Superior Court Judge Robert Burner on charges of unlawful use of a motor vehicle. His attorney had filed a motion to dismiss the case, asking for a reprimand and lecture, which was given by Burner, and the case dismissed.
