MEMBERS OF the Wawasee Kiwanis Club got the surprise of their lives Saturday morning when two Kendallville Kiwanis club members showed up. and with them had a pet Bantam rooster named “Gabby.” It turned out Gabby was an appropriate name for the bird, “forever crowing," in the words of one club member. He is the Inter-Club rooster, whose home now is at Orris Schafer's Village Green Garden Center, located next to the Three Flags, where the club meets each Saturday morning. “He crows like says Orris, whose job is to feed and water the bird and keep his two-foot-square cage clean. Schafer added, “1 just happened to be next door, so I got the job of caring for Gabby.” Laughing about it all. club member Bob Marion said Gabby’s five-state tour began with a Florida club in early 1977. Since then he has visited 152 clubs

It’s a good likelihood the game bird will find its next home with the Lakeland Kiwanis Club which meets each Monday morning at the M & M Restaurant in North Webster. —O'KAY (MRS. Ray F.) Franke, a resident of r 4 Syracuse (south side of Lake Wawasee). entertained a group of her daughter Tammy’s friends and classmates of the class of 1978 on Friday. Nov. 24. at a real old-time class get-together. Thanksgiving refreshments were served, and as the story goes, a good time was had by all. —o— THE STORY about Jack Mason giving one dollar per vote to the Kosciusko County Republican Central Committee for each vote

Al Rovenstine beat sheriff incumbent John Hammersley seems to be dying a slow death. While the talk goes on. albeit somewhat muted. Mason, last week in Houston. Texas, visiting a son. called this column on two occasions to make it “perfectly clear” that the money was given in good faith, “no favors asked.” It would appear Mason is this kind of fellow. His wide interest in gambling in Honduras, Central America, has caused eyebrows to be raised, however. The implication is that Mason “wants something,” and inasmuch as he has gambling interests elsewhere, it would follow that he would have an interest in having gambling return to Kosciusko County through the good offices of Sheriff-elect Rovenstine. This does not follow. Actually. Rovenstine is a little embarrassed by the gift. He didn’t take it. as one might expect to defray costs he incurred in running for sheriff, but left it up

to county GOP chairman Ed Pratt to pick the lucre up. He gave it to county GOP treasurer Pauline Jordan, who wasn’t at all sure what to do with it. Finally, she put the windfall into the central committee coffers, where it remains today. “If 1 knew this money was going to cause all that fuss, 1 never would have given it,” Mason telephoned —O'THINKING THIS is much ado about nothing. Harry VanHemert is quick to tell friends GOP coffers are not all that depleted. He confesses to have garnered “nearly $750“ himself among local party faithfuls, which he turned over to the central committee. VanHemert has proven the perennial fund raiser for The Republicans in Turkey Creek Township, knows who to tap and for how much. _ -O'JOHNNIE AVGSBVRGER(we

should call him Senator John B.) turned up with a 9 x 11 hardboard calendar which was issued by J. W. Rothenberger. Syracuse undertaker, bearing a 1909 calendar. Few living can recall this date. It lists “ambulance in connection.” and “pianos and organs.” Phone numbers: Res. 65. Office 13. The picture on the calendar is a real photograph, showing a young girl at the blackboard at school, writing “My papa's an undertaker.” Anyone wanting to see it should drop by the Syracuse MailJournal office. Augsburger said someone brought it into his Syracuse grocery store, stating they purchased it at a South Bend auction sale. —o— MIKE AND Darlene Calobrace. shown here, are the new owners at the Sleepy Owl south of town. They’re a per-

sonable young couple and should do well there. Darlene is a South Bend native where she graduated from Saint Joe High School, and for the past five years was in the Dalton Foundry accounting department. Mike is a Marion native, a Marion High School graduate, and attended college at Marion. He has spent the past eight years in data processing at Dalton Foundry.
