(Continued from page 4) sists of a two-page piece with crispy, informative bits of information that should be of interest to its members. In its search for informed participation, the newsletter notes: “It (the chamber) is not some mythical body; it is YOU!” The chamber hopes to hold its first meeting of the new year — Wednesday morning, Jan. 8,1986 —in its new offices. Time: 7:45 a.m. In the envelope containing the newsletter were minutes of the December 4th meeting, plus an attractive piece restating the aims and purposes of the Chamber of Commerce. THE PERSISTENT cold weather and freezing over of the several lakes in the area reminds old timers of the days when ice was cut on the lakes and stored for summertime use. The Thursday, Feb. 6, 1936, issue of The Syracuse Journal reports in a page 1 story that the 1936 freeze was the “heaviest freeze since the winter of 1911.” Louis G. Solt and a crew of 12 men cut 70 tons of ice from lake Wawasee off Highland View Point in two days, the thickness averaging 18 inches. Each cake weighed about 350 pounds, the article stated. Cubes were 22 inches square. The same article states Lloyd Disher began cutting ice near the channel outlet to Syracuse Lake with six men, but due to the extreme cold and snow, had to abandon their efforts. Disher also cut 22-inch square cubes, but he reported 22-inch thick ice. The article said old timers commented the winter of 1911 saw ice 30 to 36 inches thick. The weather in 1936 was such that the Syracuse schools were closed. —o— ALL OF this aside, Syracuse had a good basketball team that year (1936). The February

6th issue of The Journal had a three-column photo on page 1 of the Syracuse team that had just won the Kosciusko County basketball championship. Now look who was on that team, in a F. Reinbold photo: Coach Claire Holly, Ed Coy, Jim Stucky, George Bill Smith, Dewitt Disher, Herschel Bitner, Earl . Held, Herman Doll, Richard Beck, manager Bert Wood, Jim Miller, Ezra Halsey, Howard Juday, Harold Kline, Nelson Auer, Robert Hinderer, Ernest Strock, Oliver Hibschman, and Burton Niles. Reminded of the old Journal photo, Jim Stucky said he recalled defeating Warsaw in the county tourney finals that year, then defeating them in regular play that followed the tourney. Warsaw came back and defeated Syracuse in the sectional tournament later that year. THE WAWASEE Kiwanis Club went “well over the top” in its collection of funds and merchandise for needy families in the Turkey Creek Township area. That was the word early this week from Ron Hibschman and Don Denny, who have spearheaded the club’s Christmas relief drive. The club has taken in well over $15,000 in money and merchandise, and last Thursday several of its members delivered 47 baskets of groceries and paid five past due heat bills for people in the community. The club was handing out its largesse early this week, and were still receiving funds. “It’s a good example of the community’s concern for its less fortunate,” is the way one member put it. —o— WE ARE given to understand this column has a smattering of regular readers. To those — and to everyone else — we wish you all a—- — VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

LOUISA'S LETTER (Ci ?===

Dear Louisa, I know I should be happy that Christmas is here but in fact I am upset when I think of all the things that have to be done and the money that has to be spent for gifts and cards. Why do we make what should be a wonderful part of the year into one of frustration and worry? 0.M.-Ga. Answer: The Christmas season is what we make it. The family who looks forward to the holidays as a time to get together and enjoy each other, without worrying too much about costly gifts, will find it a time to renew one’s faith in the love and the teachings of the one whose birth we celebrate. If you find sending cards a chore, simply cut down the number of those to friends who are out of town or to sick people. Get together with the family before time and decide on simple I SEASONS ' i GREETINGS A blessed, hap* py Holiday to one and all from 11 i our staff at: ( > : Bailey’s Service Station .

gifts. The people who knit or crochet can fashion scarfs or caps which are very much in style this season and are especially welcome to those who live in old climates. Men who have workshops can fashion articles for a fraction of the cost of those in shops. Many large families divide up the preparation f food for that special day and everyone does his or her part. We may complain a bit but all of us look forward to Christmas and it seems to bring out the best in us — feelings of love and brotherhood — not so evident throughout the year. Louisa Address: Louisa, Box 532 Orangeburg, S.C. 29115 Amish Acres setting for Christmas party Amish Acres in Nappanee was the setting for the Saturday, Dec. 21, employee Christmas party for The Papers Incorporated. Dinner was served at 8:30 p.m. to the 114 employees and their guests. This was then followed by an evening of dancing to music provided by Jay Warnicutt, an area disc jockey. During the course of the evening, three poinsettias were given away. Recipients of those were Alethea Baker, Norma Earle, and Toni Parrish. Completing the evening was the arrival of Santa Claus and one of his elves to wish all a Merry Christmas.
