WE MISSED it! Speggtators flocked to egg on more than 250 feathered flyers as they attempted to crack the world's chicken flying record at the 12th annual international chicken flying meet last Saturday at the Bob Evans farm near Rio Grande. Ohio. The 13th annual eggstravaganza proved to be lucky for ‘•Eagle,’’ owned by Bob Knox of Parkersburg. Pa. Winging 108 feet. 10 inches, the 28-ounce featherweight, riot-so-chicken chicken kept the egg off his face, but couldn't crack the world’s chicken flying record of 302 feet, eight inches set in 1979 by "Lola B” owned by Sherwood Costen, Pt. Pleasant. W. Va. The more than 2,200 speggtators (sorry we missed it — can’t help but wonder if anyone in the Lakeland area attended!) watched the day's eggciting action featuring such flighty events as a "Human Crowing Contest,” a "Chicken Run Contest,” a “Chicken Leg Contest," and a "Chicken Scratch Contest.”

The Youth League will hold a bake sale during the barbecue for those who want dessert to go with their meal for later in the day. BETTY (MRS. Richard) Smith has a penchant for spreading good will to most anyone in the community who is ill. or otherwise incapacitated. It is usually in the form of delivering to those in distress a dozen homemade cookies. It seems to work every time, she contends. Last week Betty was sidelined herself, and 10, if a thoughtful friend didn’t bring her a dozen cookies — even if they were store-bought. Betty raised her ill head and laughed out loud at the turn of events. It seemed to work rather well on her, too.

COMPLETING BRIDGE WORK — Workmen for Beer and Slabaugh Construction Co. are doing the final work on the approaches to the County Line Road bridge over the Meyer Ditch several miles north and east of Syracuse. In a cooperative act between the Kosciusko County and Elkhart County boards of commissioners, the old ditch was removed to the south in order to widen the County Line Road. Then a new bridge was put in. The County Line Road has been closed but should be re-opened soon.

Killing frost in June This week’s weather word from Goshen College weather observer, Lores Steury, is on killing frosts.

The latest killing frost on the area’s records was on May 27, 1961, at 29 degrees, the coldest temperature recorded this late in the season was a chilly 27 degrees on May 22,1924.

Try vinegar Another good use for vinegar is to add it to fat for deep frying. It will keep food from absorbing too much fat and eliminate the greasy taste.
