above. We might even resell them as condominiums,” Louden added.

designated places. —o— MAIL CARRIER Carroll Koble is recuperating at his home following recent surgery on his left leg due to arthritis and expects to be off work for another six weeks. He was still in much pain on Friday, when talking with him. but still had his quick wit when talking about his brief stay in Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne. » Ironically, the surgeon doing his work was Ronald Kleopfer, son of the late George Kleopfer. and Mrs. Kleopfer who resides in Syracuse and Carroll is mail carrier for the good Dr. who has a home at Bayshore Drive. —o— WE HEARD a Syracuse businessman say this week he has the mid-winter blues, as he packed his bags for two weeks in Florida. Actually, a number of people have already had their winter vacation and are back on the job.

AND Mrs. Peter Blue hatfte returned from a four week northern vacation where they spent the holidays with their daughter and family, the Joe Whitlocks, at Anchorage, Alaska.
The Whitlocks have lived at Anchorage for the past seven years where he is an accountant with his own business. They report plenty of white snow, but quite refreshing and no problem in travel. Temperatures varied in the most part in the 20’s but did dip to slightly below zero one night, however the cold penetration is not felt as it is in this community due to wind chill factors. Hazardous travel is what they were saying, and hazardous travel is exactly what they meant, as Lakeland residents awoke to a real winter storm this morning with temperatures in the low 30’s and a four to six inch snow fall with drifting.

However, traffic was at a standstill around the 7 o'clock hour this morning in Syracuse as slick conditions stacked vehicles northbound on State Road 13 as thev were unable to negotiate the hill. Control of the caution light and sanding by the street department finally got traffic flowing in all directions from the main light uptown.

Other energetic businessmen were also out shoveling before the 8 a.m. hour. —oTHE WORKMEN putting in the floor of the new girls’ gym were doing an especially good job Tuesday, for they had a wise old owl overseeing the job. The owl ran into their van on Monday night as the workmen returned to their motel following a day’s work. The compassionate workmen stopped, gathered up the somewhat dazed owl and took it to work Tuesday morning.
