DICK MEYERS. ANCHOR MAN <-»»« Utnlll. Variety available for shoppers who stay home
It's that time of year again Time for the annual migration north as Christmas-conscious shoppers head for the big malls to do their Chnstmas g Every year, thousands of shoppers crowd malls all over Indiana looking for that special, or not so special, gift for their loved ones and friends _ And just about every year, the local merchants are left out in the cold Except maybe for some last-minute scrounging for the gift that was forgotten, this cycle of out-of-town concentration during the peak retail season is repeated most every year According to Syracuse retail merchants president Jeannie Gardiner, Lakeland residents miss out on some good buys during their typical migrant period Although the area merchants aren't under one roof, they offer the same variety available in must malls "Syracuse has more things to offer than people realize." says Gardiner “I have compared prices and the merchants have competitive pricing, she added . Figure in the merchants in North Webster and Milford, area shoppers could

very well be missing out on some savings when they drive by area stores on their way to the bigger cities. "It's going to be a little tighter... people are getting more practical with their things. " Gardiner said. Practical shopping could mean increased sales for some merchants. The Thanksgiving week end is traditionally the largest shopping period of the year, but Dick Meyers of the Anchor Man in the Wawasee Village has little hope for any increased activity this season. "It s just going to be poorer," he said. Gardiner explained some of the problem all local merchants have is the consumer’s fascination with making trips "Far away places appeal to people." she explained. The Syracuse retail merchants have put together a list of the stores in Syracuse with the merchandise they offer. • Antiques, small and large appliances. clothing, do-it-yourself crafts, furniture, gift items, hardware, plants, jewelry, lawn and garden supplies, shoes, sporting goods, books — are just some of the categories listed in Syracuse alone. Combined with the merchants in Milford and North Webster, area shoppers can count on variety if they choose to stay at home this shopping season. “We have something for everyone," said Gardiner

Ims needs support The Milford Emergency Medical Service is in desperate need of people for the Emergency Medical Technician class beginning in February. Past requests for help have had fewresults. If help is not volunteered, the EMS will not be able to provide 24 hours of service much longer since too few people have been working long hours to provide the service for the community. Without guaranteed 24-hour emergency service, the state will revoke the current certification for the back of the ambulances which means the community would have to call Multi Township for emergency care. Warsaw is 12 miles from Milford and does not receive tax support from the city or Van Buren Township meaning an ambulance call would cost in excess of $l5O per person. To lower the cost, the Multi Township Service would need tax support from Milford and the surrounding township which would likely cause a tax rate increaseMilford EMTs are volunteers not paid for their time. The service does pay for the cost of schooling in exchange for a student's services rendered during the length of certification. The Milford EMS has been supported by monetary donations in the past, but now they need the physical support of additional EMTs. Anyone interested in serving as an EMT to help save the service should attend the Thursday. Dec. 9. meeting at 7 p.m. at the community building. Pat Gaume. Goshen Hospital instructor, will present a slide program and answer any questions about the classes and certification. MyStore Pickwick Hoc* Uptown Sy rocuM >«ulW<l Law* Own Home

Divorce makes men richer, women poorer, studies show
A study of divorce by Standford University researchers has concluded that community property laws, whereby a divorcing couple's assets are split 50-50. benefit the man much more than the woman. In fact, says sociologist Lenore Weitzman, divorce is a "financial disaster" for women and their children. Out of the 3,000 cases she studied. Weitzman says men improved their standard of living an average 42 per cent in the first year, while for women and children, it declined 73 per cent.
presented each month to a citizen of the Lakeland community not employed by the school corporation. The award is based upon that person’s contributions to Wawasee High School and the special service the school realized because of their contribution.
Lump sum settlements, rather than alimony, Weitzman says, allow the husband to reap the lion's share of benefits from the marriage partnerahip. and to leave it with increased earning power and fewer demands on his paycheck. Weitzman says it’s time the courts recognized what she calls '"career assets” as part of the community property to be divided at the time of a divorce.
