Falling under the ax at that time were Gans and company president George M. Carriker, with John A. Bacon becoming acting president while a search went on for new top company officers. Now Bacon and Carriker are gone, with Gans restored to the top position, with orders to give his “new plan” for the company’s restoration to financial health a top priority. Meantime, the dismissal of nearly 15 administrative employees, including some departmental heads, resulted in them looking for new jobs. PROMOTERS OF the Syracuse Boy Scout cabin’s restoration program were pleased to learn no damage was done to the roof of the cabin when several large tree limbs fell over the roof, the result of last Tuesday night's wind and rain storm. THE BACK yard of Walter P and Gwen Williams, r 1 Syracuse, just east of Bonar Lake, was the center of neighborhood curiosity Friday morning when word got out that they had a surprising growth of large white toadstools spring up overnight This photo is of Walt surveying the “find.” Williams is a retired interior decorator and he and his wife are remembered as composers of gospel music.

North Webster store as a 14-year-old roustabout, went off to pharmacy school, then returned to work at Syracuse and ultimately to manage their Warsaw store. He resigned to try his luck with the Leesburg venture. And now he’s returning to manage the Warsaw Store again. DAVID BROEKERS, son of Max and Carole Broekers, r 5 Syracuse, has just completed work on three more Boy Scout merit badges (which will be his 86th, 87th and 88th) on 1.) journalism, 2.) printing/communications, and 3.) pulp and paper.

TWO! the popular apparel shop, closed some time ago when owner Jim Stillson of Nappanee was persuaded to take a sales representative job that took him on the road a lot. He had difficulty staffing the local store, and thought it wise to close it. Jim has an OOPS! in Nappanee, and decided on the Syracuse market some time ago. “The business is here,” he said when he sought out a manager for the local store. And on the other hand, a Syracuse branch of Bodkin Abstract Co.. Inc. opened in Pickwick Place on July 24, in a comer room. Shelly Pickett of Warsaw is branch manager and Sue (Byland) Hamman of Milford is her understudy. Bodkin Abstract is a long-standing Warsaw firm, observing its 50th anniversary this year. NORTH WEBSTER Lions are determined not to give up on their drive to raise SIOO,OOO in matching funds to provide their community with a public beach. Arrangements have been made for the federal funds, through the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, to be released when the local Lions Club comes up with their SIOO,OOO. At the present time they have “about $50,000,” according to promoter Steve Beavers, and have a set jaw in their determination to go all the way. The club is using every ruse to raise the money. They’re selling tickets on a goat (which no one seems to want) and on Saturday had club members on Highway 13 in the center of town asking motorists to help out. And they did: $582 was raised, mostly in small bills and change. To show the public interest, Beavers says two small girls came up to their ticket stand at the recent corn roast, and asked questions about their fund-raising effort. When told they were still short of money, Beavers says, they took off and quickly returned, one with seven cents, the other with five cents to contribute to the effort. The club plans to purchase the Dixie Haven on Webster Lake to build the public beach. It will be the first handicap beach in Indiana, built accor ding to plans provided by Purdue University, Beavers commented. NORMA AND Henry Schumm and Jenny and Jack Oswald, both couples of the Hunnicutt Addition. have welcome guests in their home. The Schumms’ daughter Toby and her daughter Amanda, residents of Saudi, Arabia, are here visiting. Jerry, the Oswalds’ son, is expected around the first of September, and the visitors are

expected to remain here until the first of November. Jerry is a nine-year employee of the American-Arabian Oil Co. (ARAMCO). THE AREA chili cook-off, begun some years ago by the Syracuse Lions Club, has been continued by Tom Stametz and Ash Holloway of Syracuse, at their Millersburg Restaurant and Lounge. It was held Saturday with “Hick’ry Hollar Gang” winning the Showmanship Trophy. The same group also won the showmanship award at last year’s state championship at Indianapolis. In the winning group were Charlie, Lori and Tom White and Butch Ritter of Syracuse and Karin and Mike Allen of Millersburg. Top winners were from Grabill. The local cook-off was sanctioned by the International Chili Society.

r W ; J GUEST SPEAKER — Bob List receives a certificate of appreciation from Don Bucher, president of the Milford Kiwanis. List, a portrait photographer in North Webster, showed a film entitled. “Images for Imagination” at Friday morning’s meeting. The film showed how many advances have been made in the world of photography. Photographers can now capture stars, planets, galaxies and other sights on film.

Court news (Continued from page 4) Superior Court The following claim has been filed in Kosciusko Superior Court, Judge Robert Burner presiding: Complaint Augsburger's Super-Valu vs Donna M. Sherwood, r 2 box 216-2 Leesburg. Plaintiff demands judgment against the defendant in the amount of $310.36 plus court costs for a total amount of $356.36 and all other relief proper. Milford library budget set at .1325 for 1985 The budget of the Milford Library has been set at .1325 for 1985.

Cemetery board gives standards The Syracuse Cemetery Association Board of Directors recently sent letter to all owners of lots in the Syracuse Cemetery. The letter contained a list of rules and regulations regarding maintenance of the cemetery, intended to keep all lots uniform. The regulations are as follows: 1. No trees or shrubs are to be planted on cemetery lots. This interferes with general maintenance and grave-digging. 2. Monuments must be placed in proper location on lots. Consult the board for this information. Proof of purchase of a lot is required before placing a monument. 3. Perennial plants of any kind placed on either side of the monument must not exceed six feet in height nor three feet in diameter. 4. Trees, shrubs or flowering plants may be given as memorials for planting in areas designated for decorative improvement, and where they they will not interfere with or obstruct other lots. Contact the board about memorial paintings. 5. Winter decorations and those placed for Christmas must be removed by April 1. Any remaining after April 1 will be removed and discarded during spring cleanup. 6. Cut flowers and fresh plants left on graves longer than one week may be removed if they interfere with mowing. The cemetery cannot be responsible for flower containers. 7. The Syracuse Cemetery requires that all caskets over 30 inches in length be placed in cement grave liners or approved vaults. Elkhart Legend In a land of rustic fields and forests, the St. Joseph and Elkhart Rivers converge to form a tiny island, which Indiana legend holds to be shaped like an elk’s heart. The first settlers to the area claimed this island for their home. The city that grew there adopted their name, Elkhart.

NO DAMAGE DONE — Little or no damage was done to the roof structure of the Syracuse Scout Cabin when several medium-sized limbs fell over the cabin’s roof as a result of last Tuesday night’s wind storm. However, work on the cabin’s inside is progressing on course. Scout Cabin committee president Robert Westfall said the east room of the cabin, where the senior citizens are expected to return for their daily luncheon/meetings in September has been completed. Contributions to the effort have been generous, but more funds are needed to complete the large meeting room.
