telephone call from Texhoma, Okla., last Wednesday regarding the Vial of Life. • Seems a Mail-Journal sub-

scriber there had shared the newspaper with several Chamber of Commerce ladies who have been interested in the Vial and how to go about distributing same in the community. Needless to say, faithful Kathi was gathering bits of literature to send for their assistance. —O'SYRACUSE GIRL Scouts were busy this past week preparing a special treat for Senior Citizens of the community for the holidays. Members of the five troops donated fruit, made dozens of cookies, and baked cupcakes, then joined to assemble 35 baskets which were delivered to the REAL site for distribution last Thursday noon. Senior Citizens were also remembered again this year by members of the VFW for a free festive meal last Saturday at the veteran home in Syracuse. -O’MEET DORIS Coburn, 430 Dolan Drive, who started her new duties as dispatcher at the

Syracuse Fire Station Monday. She will be working the swing shift at first. Mrs. Coburn, who has worked at Schacht Rubber Co. for six years, calls her new job “a challenge.” She comments, "1 just thought it would be interesting, something different to do.” The wife of Bill Coburn, she has lived in Syracuse since 1955, coming from Wabash. She is the mother of five children: Mrs. Tom (Pamela) Warner. Fort Wayne, and Chuck, Steve, Eric and Clark, all of Syracuse. She also has six grandchildren. She is a member of Saint Andrew’s United Methodist Church, the Business and Professional Women, the American Legion Auxiliary and the Twilighters Bunco Club.

NELSON KISTLER is resting comfortably at his home at the North Webster Motel following several days in intensive care at the Goshen Hospital. He returned home last Wednesday following a heart attack the previous Sunday. He and his wife Marge purchased the motel in September 1977. Cause of his heart attack is thought to be overwork. —o— A CHRISTMAS card from Rev. and Mrs. Thomas Douglas, of Indianapolis, formerly with the Syracuse Church of God, has enclosed a letter announcing a nine-day trip to Israel they will be conducting, leaving February 19. The Douglases reside at 1825 South Franklin Road. Indy. 46239, and this is the sixth such trip they have hosted. -0RETIRED WAWASEE High School science teacher Paul Royer and Lois, a retired first grade teacher at the North Webster elementary school, are making plans for a Florida trip. They are taking his mother south and they plan a visit with a brother in the Sunshine State before going to Brownsville. Texas, their real winter haunt. —o— ALSO TOM and Nancy Prickett left Sunday for Florida, to spend two weeks with their family at the island condominium of Ev Ganz’s, located on Anna Marie Island just off Bradenton. First such trip for the Prickett family. —O'long TIME Lake Wawasee resident (Warner Road) Wilfred Hodler is keenly concerned about the lack of guard rails along Pickwick Road where it joins East Shore Drive. He states, that with the removal of trees along the west side of the road, it has become a real danger spot for motorists. In an effort to slow traffic down at that accident-prone corner, the state put up a STOP sign for vehicles traveling west on Pickwick Road, but Hodler thinks this sign alone is not sufficient. It is the corner where 17-year-old Russell Kell failed to negotiate the turn and crashed into the water to his death on October 18,1975. Hodler has a point, we’d agree, and this should be called to the attention of highway officials. —o— THREE BUSINESS establishments in Syracuse are up for sale — one north of the tracks and two south of the tracks. —o— LOOIE HARE has moved into his new home in Florida and has his condominium up for sale or lease, his friends tell this column. —o— C SAINT ANDREW’S United Methodist Church was exceptionally beautiful last Sunday with pots and pots of poinsettias decorating the entire chancel area, later to be taken home by the donors or given to friends, relatives, hospitals, nursing homes or wherever specified. —oSTUDENTS AT Syracuse Elementary School are working especially hard again this year, the fifth such year, for collection of Campbell Soup labels, with a goal of 15,000. Principal Bob Hamman says if they reach their goal, they will

receive a record player, a model of a human torso and a ball inflator with gauge. —o—‘THIS IS our way of fighting inflation,” is the way an area realtor explained it. But it looked somewhat like the rumblings of a price war among realtors. We re talking about a letter that went out to members of the property owners’ association during the past few days, issued over the signature of the realtor, that, beginning January 1, 1979. all properties under $40,000 would be sold for a six per cent realty fee, and that all properties over $40,000 would be sold for a fee of five per cent. This is one per cent lower than normally charged, the realtor explained. It’s too early to assess what this means to the winter real estate market in the lakes area, but a lot of people will be watching this move. —o—- — ARE doing less outdoor decorating this season, it appears. Several reasons for this: One being the increasingly high cost of energy, but another is the unseasonal weather. During the past week, for example, temperatures were in the mid-40s. On the other hand, those selling Christmas trees have been doing a brisk business, indicating that all decoration is being done within the home. —o— HUBERT (“HUB”) Anglemeyer, home from the Goshen hospital where he underwent surgery about a week previous, is seen around town “gaining his strength. ” When in the hospital he received a card from an old time coffee-drinking pal who wrote “join the crowd.” —o— JOHN SUDLOW, a well known Lake Wawasee resident, has been watching the demise of the old Solt Grocery with an anguished bit of nostalgia. The once-popular landmark is being removed to make more parking space for lake front dwellers. (Note: see photo and accompanying article on page 10, this issue.) As a summertime youth around the south end of the lake, (his parents owned a property on the site where the Tom Leonards now live), Sudlow remembers as a youngster going to the store to buy his ice cream cones. —o— IS IT possible that Turkey Creek Township does not have anv poor people? We have always thought it an affluent area with minimal unemployment, but, now that local service clubs are vainly seeking a poor, destitute family to succor during the holiday season, we have to revise our sights. Several service clubs have earmarked funds and appointed committees to distribute their largess, and its heartening to know no needy families can be found. —o— ONE OF the most closely held secrets in the community in a long time was the appointment of a new Syracuse chief of police. Only hours before the Tuesday night meeting when a new chief was to be appointed, Vella (Mrs. Bill) Baumbaugh, employee in

Wed., December 20,1978 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

the town clerk-treasurer’s office and sister to town board member Forrest (“Bud”) Smith, said she had no idea who the new appointee would be. “Even my own brother won’t tell me,” she sighted. As it turned out, the town board failed to muster a quorum Tuesday night, thus no new chief was appointed. The board will meet next Tuesday night as the sands of time on the old year run out, and it is hoped to make the appointment at that time. (Note: See story on page 1.) —o— NEW OWNERS of Lakeland Standard Service, 926 South Huntington Street, are Dr. and Mrs. Alex Christofides, residents of Harbourside Apartments. A Cypriot, Dr. and Mrs. Christofides came to this community from South Bend. They consummated the purchase from C. D. and Grace Lawson, owners of the station for several years, on Friday and took immediate possession. At the present time the Lawsons are in Texas picking up a load of fruit and produce for sale here, and were not available for comment on their future plans. —O'DELBERT L. (“Bub”) Whitehead, W. E. Long Drive (r 2) Syracuse, is at it again. He’s building another homegrown airplane in his garage. Bub is remembered as the builder of “Breezie,” along with Dave McGrew and Robert K. Braungart. They created a local sensation with this craft. Bub is doing it alone on the new plane, named appropriately “Quickie.” It’s a one-seater, of fiberglass and should be ready to go aloft next summer. -O’JEAN (MRS. Richard) Miller entertained in her studio this morning (Wednesday) for a Humber of coffee klatch friends with coffee and doughnuts before the lighted fireplace. Needless to say, the room and surroundings were gaily decorated in the coming holiday theme. —o—- — REED of Syracuse

(father of Ethel Hughes) was also in the holiday spirit this past week in giving $5 apiece to his great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. A little addition and multiplication shows this to be a special treat, what with 45 greatgrandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Three from county have license suspended l Ronald D. Rinehart, r 2 box 263 Syracuse, was among three Kosciusko County residents to have their driver's licenses suspended by the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles for drunken driving. Rinehart lost his license from August 29,1978 to August 29. 1979. Others suspended for drunken driving are Carson R. May, r 1 Etna Green, suspended from August 24. 1978 to February 24, 1979 and David R Love. 203 Wedrick Dr.. Warsaw, September 11. 1978 to November 11, 1978.
