a “rip-off.” “Rip-off,” loosely defined: one person or group taking undue financial advantage of another person or group. This ripoff occurred at about 3 p.m. Saturday at Marise’s Town and Lake Shop, in Wawasee Village south of Syracuse. As Gene and Marise SmitK, owners and

operators of the popular ladies’ apparel store, tell it, they were the victims of a real, first-class con game, to the tune of $4,600 in cash and checks. The new equipment truck for the Syracuse fire department arrived on Tuesday, Dec. 24, and will be in use in two weeks, accor-

not seek re-election. 20 YEARS AGO . No Paper Published 30 YEARS AGO, JAN.«, 1955Discovery of a legal fillip which may block the proposed sale of the old school building by the Tdwnship Trustee was the highlight of the regular meeting of the Town Board Tuesday night. Attorney R. Leon Connolly read an excerpt from he deed to the property, dated 1 July 1924, in which the town of Syracuse reserved the right to continuous use of the southwest corner room of the building basement for the conduct of town business. No tenure appears to be indicated in the reservation, which therefore presumably runs with the title to the property. Ernest Bushong was sworn in as temporary Postmaster at the Post Office here, Friday evening, December 31, by Post Office Inspector P.F. Dowling, of South Bend. Mr. Bert Whitehead, who observed his 70th birthday, 3 December, retired Friday from the office of postmaster at Syracuse after 21 years of service. Mr. Guys Hayes, congenial proprietor for the past thirty years of King’s Grocery on Kale Island, will leave Friday for Salt Springs, Florida. He will fly, via Delta Airline, from Fort Wayne, to Ocala where he will meet Mr. and Mrs. Fred King. They will go on to Salt Springs which is located on Lake George, where

Adjusting to the American lifestyle

By FR. PHILIP MORGAN Guest Feature Writer My stars foretold that it was not a good day for a journey, and they surely were right. This was my first trip to America, my first trip in fact in a plane and not unusually the British workman decided it was a good day for what is called industrial action. I had finally overcome my phobia of flying and all I wanted to do was just get on that plane and take-off and start that journey that had been my hope for so many years. I should have been well over the Atlantic but still two hours after scheduled take-off time I was getting more and more nervous in the awful lounge at London’s Heathrow Airport. Not only was time passing but the weather outside had become appalling, with heavy fog, driving rain and winds gusting up to 100 miles an hour. No, it was not a good day for a journey and I sat there just wondering what had I got myself into? The call to board at gate thirteen came all too slowly and when the Boeing 747 named “City of Liverpool” did finally take-off it seemed that the gods themselves were angry that this fragile man-made bird should try to thrust itself heavenward; I still think the plane went backward at one point. Leaving England in driving rain though was but a small portion of what awaited at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport. The blizzards that had hit Chicago and the Mid-West some weeks before had well and truly established themselves over the New England states. We landed with a bump, a skip and a slide, the passengers clapped and there was an awesome relief. I was in the U.S.A, four and a half hours late — but at least I was there. That was my introduction to the U.S.A, in January 1984. What was a five-week trip to the New England area became a memory that was hard to erase, much too hard in fact, and so within six months I found myself back in the U.S.A., this time clutching fast to five envelopes. Five envelopes that were not easy to get, but five envelopes containing authorization to live and work permanently in this country. The second time around things were very difficult, instead of sub-zero temperatures in New York we were greeted by the full force of a mid-western Summer. I was grateful for the fact that we were being met at Chicago’s O’Hare by my would-be employer. We were to travel to some place called Elkhart, a place I had never seen before except on a map. We had come blind, myself, my wife and our three children, without any real knowledge of what lay before us. Since I am an Anglican Priest and was to work at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Elkhart I suppose one could describe the trip as an act of faith. With ten years of marriage behind us we brought everything we could in 12 suitcases — we left a lot! It is hard to explain just how different life is between Britain and America. So many things are changed but it’s probably the smaller differences that drive home the contrasts between the two countries. The first terrifying trip I took

there is good fishing. Mr. and, Mrs. George Xanders left soon* after Christmas for Hollywood, Florida. Guests of Mr. and Mrs. John Runyan, for the weekend, were Mr. and Mrs. William Richards, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Louderback, of Anderson, Indiana and Mr. and * Mrs. Mayo Sauerwine, of St. Louis, Mo. 50 YEARS AGO, JAN. 3,1935 A new FERA project for the repair of the roads of turkey Creek township has been approved. Work on this project, which was drawn up by Fred Hendricks county work supervisor, will begin in about two weeks, which will be the same time when he work now under way on the airport and the mill race will be completed. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Howard and Mr. and Mrs. Morton Meredith entertained at the latter’s home, at a turkey dinner last Wednesday night, the following couples: Mr. and Mrs. Noble Blocker, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Rapp, Mr. and Mrs. , Ernest Bushong, Mr. and Mrs. Millard Hire, Mrs. Eloise Klink and John Hess of Chicago. After dinner bridge was played. Mr. Howard won the turkey served at the American Legion raffle. Announcement is being made of the marriage of Miss Esther Long, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Long and Wilburn Onstott, he ceremony being performed by Rev. Jarboe. They will make their home on a fhrm near Pierceton.

along the Connecticut Turnpike almost made me want to go back on that cold winter night in January. I remember thinking about the driver — “doesn’t he realize I’m a foreigner and I’m used to driving n the other side of the road — and why is he going so fast with all this snow around — and why are so many of the cars in such bad shape — and I want to get out!” But you get used to the roads and when you do you realize that mostly people here drive a lot slower than the British. Many of the cars are in bad shape though, but what’s good about it is that people don’t seem tp care too much about that. Seeing someone in an expensive suit getting out of a rusted old car would be unheard of in Britain — we re too vain about our vehicles. The house we left behind in Britain had 14 rooms spread over three floors of a Victorian terraced house — it was awful! Cold, damp and very hard to keep clean. The house we moved into in Elkhart was really marvelous, well-decorated and furnished completely as a result of gifts. Our new home seemed to epitomize everything that British people think an American home should be. I think that the laundry chute appealed to us the most.

The American seems to eat far more food and in much greater diversity than the conservative British, no doubt that’s a reflection on its past patterns of immigration. The food is good though and the way things are displayed in the shops is truly amazing. Everything is so neat and tidy, good quality and best of all fresh. Being able to shop in the evening is a great help to us but I cannot help thinking about the people who have to work the night shift. There again that’s normal practice here so it’s just accepted. The opportunities for everyone seem greater, everyone seems friendlier and also interested, prepared to listen. My voice helps me on that one because people tell me they like to hear it, and that’s probably the greatest difference. To everyone else I speak rather strangely but to me everyone else speaks with an accent. One young boy asked me when was I going to learn to speak real. Well I like Elkhart and if I stay around long enough then perhaps one day 1 will “speak real.” Two more killed WINDHOEK, NAMIBIA - A U.S. diplomat and an American military officer were killed in a bomb blast recently when they stopped at a gas station on their way to meet officials monitoring peace between Angola and South Africa, authorities said.
