Austria Without going further. JoAnn and I equate the country’ of Austria as the most beautiful total environment which we saw The cleanliness m the towns, even those which are more than 1,000 years old. and the neatness of the farms are almost beyond description In brief we were totally impressed! We liked the opportunity of spending three days with Kitzbuhel at our headquarters The lovely chalet m which we*stayed was classic for the country. with its high-peaked roof and the flowers planted along each railing which protruded from each floor of the chalet We gave a concert one night there, and another in Bruck, some 25 kilometers away. Also we sang near Bruck at a beautiful residential facility which housed special education children It was truly a moving experience to sing to these youngsters, and to the sisters as well as other staff who so lovingly care for them Included in our memories of that beautiful country will be a cable car ride to the top of the mountain. Kitzbuhehorn JoAnn and I were joined by Charlotte Hand I think in part to give her a little security Actually we needed it too The mountain at Kitzbuhel is so tall that it took a small four-person cable car to transport us halfway up the

mountain There we transferred to a larger car for the last part of the trip It took a little more than a half hour just to get up there — but it was worth it. Such splen dor! That experience even surpassed the enjoyment we had stopping at the borderline between Austria and Italy to see a waterfall that probably is three times the height of Niagara Falls but of course not as wide It plummeted over several cascades coming down the mountainside The beauty of that mountain also possibly surpassed, for me. the unusual experience of nding through a tunnel 14. miles long, cut through the center of a mountain range It may not have been natural beauty, but cer tainly the engineering feat was a work of art. But now to highlight July 4th and how we celebrated the anniversary of our country ’s birth We arrived in Lucerne. Switzerland by mid-afternoon of July 4. and stayed in a totally beautiful but old resort hotel located on a mountainside perhaps 300 feet above and overlooking Lake Lucerne Across a bay of the lake about the size of Lake Wawasee was the city of Lucerne To our left. as\ve looked out our balcony window, was Mt Pilatus which might well have been even higher than the one we visited m Kitzbuhel To say the least, it was dramatic, as well as beautiful to see the magnificent lake in front of us, the lights of Lucerne across the Mgke. and the awesome structure of Mt Pilatus on our left — to be absorbed in one panoramic glance Austria was the country that impressed us the most. Lucerne was the city that impressed us We were able to spend two nights m that area to shop, sightsee and to give a concert The Lucerne concert was impressive insofar as we were guests of a Roman Catholic congregation. This was not uncommon, for we probably sang more in Catholic Cathedrals than in protestant churches, even though our audiences — with this exception, were the public In Lucerne we sang three selections during the actual service of worship After the Mass, many of the panshoners stayed and other guests came in to bear our full concert Switzerland has many fames, not the least of which is that it has not initiated any military activity in 190 years, virtually since the

birth of our country There is a monument of The Wounded Lion which is symbolic of the last time Swiss troops left their land to wage war They were soundly defeated in that engagement After it. the government decided that the Swiss would never again leave their land for military conflict. UnQi visiting the place I really didn’t understand what else the concept implied They do protect their own . ’n Switzerland, thqre is total military conscription Every able bodied person in the country is trained militarily, and is armed. It was said by many citizens and with pride that the Swiss government can mobilize an army of 600,000 fully armed troops in 24 hours To perceive all of this pride and to be in the country on the 4th of July was singularly important Bill Dixon, without any of us knowing it. had brought?in his suitcase numerous small American flags On the 4th. he distributed them to several of us We displayed them from our balconies of the hotel Spontaneously. the total choral group sang the Star Spangled Banner. America the Beautiful, and God Bless America with great feeling. There were many,.many times during the tour that I was proud of die young students. I was never more proud than when I was able to witness and participate with them m this singing, and especially to see tears of pride in their eyes 24 from county on dean's list The spring quarter s dean s list from Ball State University has been released and 24 Kosciusko County residents at that school have been named to the list.

Milford EMS elects Max Evans president

At a recent meeting of the Milford Emergency Services. Inc., Max Evans was elected to serve as the organization's president Evans replaces John Perry who declined an office after serving for seven years Serving with Evans will be the following officers : Vice president — Cheryl Brunjes Secretary — Marlene Evans Treasurer — Vicki Wilson Billing officer — Susie Chupp In-service instructor — Jean Lynch , Ambulance maintenance — Randy Veach Hog Roast The EMS decided to have a benefit hog roast to try and earn more money for the purchase of a new modular ambulance. Cost of such a’unit is between $35-$45.000. So far the unit has saved $30,000 over the last seven years toward the new unit. After January 1, 1982, the vantype ambulance now in use will not meet state requirements for Approves — (Continued from page 1) tank the way it is now,” Mrs Kirkdorfer pointed out. The Kirkdorfers have until August 10 to hook onto the sewer and pay back sewer fees. On that date their home will be offered for delinquent tax sale for $590.79 in back sewer fees. The Kirkdorfers said they had addressed the town board several times about the problem “I think we should release these people from paying this sewer thing until we can provide proper service.” stated Board Trustee Clifford Boyer. “What are we going to do 1 * Force them to hook up and then let the sewer back up into their home.” Myrick said he believed a solution had been worked out with the previous board and the problem had been solved The Kirkdorfers replied nothing had ever been done “When you run a sewer by their house that's too high that they can’t hook up. what are you going to do"*” pointed out Board Trustee Joe Morganthaler In the absense of town attorney Robert Reed. Myrick wondered if Se board could legally vote to release the Kirkdorfers from the lien He regretted the matter was not brought up sooner and the board has only a short time to take action. “We. as a board, have just put them off It's as simple as that.” claimed Boyer Boyer motioned to release the Kirkdorfers from the lien for six months, providing the board can legally do so. The motion was seconded and the board voted to approve it. Meanwhile, the board will check with Reed about the legal implications of the vote. The town will also take steps to investigate and try to solve the sewer problem cm North Shore Drive. ; In other business, the board approved a list of streets to be repaired and signed the franchise agreement with Noble Cable TV. Board Trustee Bill Hess reported he has had complaints about tractor-trailers traveling on Main Street to the industrial park. He asked if there was a ruling that disallowed this. Myrick said he believes such a ruling was passed in 1969. Morga nt haler pointed out there wasn’t enough room on Brooklyn Street for the big rigs to make the turn. The board decided to refer the matter to Police Chief Robert Hauser who will be asked to talk to officials of Commodore Corp, and work out a mutually desirable route. The special meeting of the Syracuse Town Board concluded at 9 p.m. The next regular meeting will be Tuesday. Aug. 18, 7:30 p.m., in the Syracuse Town Hall.

T-shirts will now be around Syracuse displaying “Support the Syracuse-Wawasee Winter Carnival” on the shirt front and “Ask About It” on the back. The shirts are available in all colors. The one-day Winter Carnival was first held two years ago by the Retail Division of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce. Last year, the Syracuse Park Board cosponsored the event and this year the carnival will be expanded to two days. Sanctioned snowmobile races and many other activities are being planned. Fireworks over frozen Syracuse Lake will again be the final event. Because the carnival has grown to two days this year, Syracuse Rotary, Lions Club and Kiwanis Club have been asked to help. The next Syracuse-Wawasee Winter Carnival meeting will be August 10, at 7 p.m., in the Syracuse Town Hall. The public is invited to attend and share their thoughts and ideas.

What problems are in store for winter wheat crops? “Just as farmers are finishing the planting of soybeans, some attention is being given to wheat,” according to Francis Hudkins District Director. Federal Crop Insurance Cor poration The inconsistency of the weather has devastated spring crops and caused apprehension among fanners as they approach the planting of winter wheat. 4 “The expiration of the ASCS Disaster Payments Program along with the weather situation is causing fanners to seek the “AU Risk” Federal Crop Insurance now being marketed through private insurance agencies," according to Francis Hudkins This “seif help approach will relieve some of the anxiety of the farmer as he plans his winter wheat planting

ROTARIANS TAKE MEMORY ‘WALK’ — The Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club took a visual “walk” down memory lane at its Tuesday meeting when lifetime lakes resident John Sudlow showed old slides of scenes around the lakes area dating back to 1885. Sudlow has made a hobby out of collecting memorabilia, particularly pictures of the area, and has had them put into an entertaining and enlightening slide presentation. He was introduced by member Ken Harkless. who also has a life history around the lakes and was for years a marine operator on Lake Wawasee. Shown above are Harkless on the right and Sudlow looking at a slide of the old Spink-Arms Hotel. Member Harry Koontz told the club of its participation in a number of fund-raising “games” at Lakeside Park in Syracuse on September 5, designated as a “Day In The Park," and asked participation. Members Varner Chance and David Robinson presented three banners to the club they had picked up in Staines. England. Coevorden.

The court enjoined them from operating, using and maintaining the junkyard beyond the designated 5.2 acres or the southern 340 feet. The Hoiles went before the BZA again in April to seek expansion of the auto graveyard to the full 25 acres. The BZA denied the petition, because the area was still not screened. The denial was based on three sections of the county ordinance which state a special exception shall not involve any element or cause any condition that may be dangerous, injurious or noxious to any other property or persons and shall comply with the performance standards involving fire protection, electrical disturbances, noise, vibration, odor, air pollution, heat and
