"CRUZIN AROUND 'CUSE”

(Continued from page 4) LAST WEDNESDAY saw a flurry of activity that involved the Syracuse Police Department, S-W Chamber of Commerce and Dr. Howard Hull of the school system, when a fast-talking and persistent Wisconsin salesman solicited local businesses for funds for a drug-prevention book for the schools. One local businessperson “didn’t like his pitch,” and reported the man to Chief of Police Robert Ziller. Officer Ziller was disturbed when he found out the salesman failed to have the endorsement of the Chamber of Commerce as he claimed, nor the endorsement of the school. Robert Westfall, chamber president, became involved and sought information from the Gastona, N.C., Chamber of Commerce (Gastona. was where the booklets were published), the Charlotte, N.C., Better Business Bureau, and the Fort Wayne 888. No useful knowledge of the salesman nor his product could be gained, Westfallsaid. Dr. Hull, curriculum coordinator at WHS, called the salesman “a real good talker,” and commented that neither he nor the school endorsed, condoned or said they would use his drugabuse prevention books. The whole thing seemed a little too fast and too slick to the police, chamber or school authorities for it to be legitimate.

Behind the headlines — Investigating our space failures

By PHILIP C. CLARKE Was that extraordinary string of launch failures in America’s space program due to technological mistakes, coincidence or just plain bad luck? Or could sabotage have been involved? ' Lt.' Gen. Daniel O. Graham, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, for one has urged the presidential commission investigating the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger to look into the possibility of sabotage. Graham, who now heads High Frontier, a private space-defense research group, says “The Soviets have been pulling out all the stops in their propaganda machine to prevent us from using space for SDI (President Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative). I wouldn’t be surprised if they were also pulling out all the stops in their dirty tricks machine, too. You cannot ignore the possibility.” Graham acknowledges that no hard evidence of sabotage has yet been presented, but says some “curious things” occurred in connection with the January shuttle tragedy. “The Soviets withdrew all their (reconnaissance) ships from the launch area off Cape Canaveral during the launch. That was a first. Also, the con-

What we can expect of terrorism

Dear Editor: I agree with the following from the American Sentinel: In noting the reaction of the American strike against Col. Kaddafi. Along with most Americans, we at American Sentinel are cheering President Reagan’s courageous defensive attack on Libyan terrorist bases. Our only complaint is that he didn’t go far enough. Libya is a small country of only 3 million people, living on a small strip of land beside the Mediterranean. We should have

388 calls received at North Webster

North Webster Town Marshal Matthew Wagoner submitted the monthly police report to the members of the North Webster Town Board during the Wednesday, June 11, meeting. There were a total of 388 calls received with 32 calls for the emergency medical service and fire department, and 69 calls referred to other departments. There were 281 calls received on duty and seven received off duty. The police department assisted the EMS and fire department on 11 calls, and assisted other departments on 29 calls. There were 163 courtesy services extended. The police department answered 17 alarms, and investigated nine accidents. They issued 34 traffic citations and 29 warnings. Eleven criminal arrests were made along with eight juvenile arrests. Two permits • were issued. Officers logged a total of 651.5 hours, and drove police cars a total of 3361 miles, consuming 281.83 gallons of fuel. Slick highway WEBSTER GROVES, MO — A track carrying gallons of slippery cocoa butter, a main ingredbeni m some types of suntan lotion, leaked onto 10 mites of terstate 44 recently causing I several accidents and at least one injury. The tteiver was unaware of the incident until a motorist alerted him over a citizens band radio

Westfall said the salesman did not appear to be operating in good faith. At any rate, local protective forces seemed to be at work. Result: the questionable salesman left the local environs before the sun set in the west. THE WAWASEE High School class of 1976 is attempting to fill out the list of its classmates for mailing purposes. The group plans a 10-year celebration, to be held Saturday, August 9, at the Syracuse American Legion Hall for the 248 members of the class. Anyone who has not received a mailing is asked to contact Kellie White or Meg (Schropf) Houser. GIL COMBS and his Ligonier brother-in-law, Ray Yoder, owners of the Wawasee Service Center, across SR 13 from Wawasee Bowl, are in the process of turning the old public sale building located on the same property into a four-bay selfservice car wash, with the fifth car wash being an automatic drive-thru. The couple, now in their fourth year, are doing most of the construction work themselves. Since owning the corner, they have added a popular convenience store, known also as a C-Store, and they have increased their pump gasoline sales markedly-

dolence message from the Soviet Embassy here came very fast, uncharacteristically so.” As for how the Soviets could have sabotaged the shuttle mission, Graham says the KGB has been trying for years to infiltrate socalled “sleepers” into the U.S. space industry. “If the Soviets have the right access,” says Graham, “they could do it. It’s not an impossible feat.” The successive unmanned rocket failures that followed Challenger also have aroused intense curiosity in security circles. These involved the April 18th explosiorj five seconds after liftoff of an Air Force Titan rocket carrying a badly needed spy satellite. Previously, the Titan had been regarded as one of our most dependable military launchers. This was followed on April 25th with the explosion of a Nike Orion rocket with a scientific probe. Before that, the Orion had a record of 120 consecutive NASA successes. And just over a week later, a Delta rocker carrying a weather satellite misfired and was destroyed by flight safety officers. The Delta had recorded 43 straight successes for NASA dating back over several years. Commentiing on the Delta failure, one NASA official said the engine shutdown “almost

gone in with full force and wiped out the terrorist bases and deposed Maummar Kaddafi. As it is Kaddafi still holds the reins of power plotting more and more terrorist attacks of death and destruction on the civilized world. The American aim was to free the Libyan people and the world of their safanic tyrant. But Col. Kaddafi’s socialist fanatics don’t caare to civilized people and under his inhuman direction will try to destroy our embassies and will try to kill every American civilian or military without mercy or compassion and even pursue them

seemed like something flipped the switch.” While a preliminary investigation has suggested an electrical circuit may have shorted out, Gen. Graham says sabotage could have been accomplished through “transmission frequencies” by sending the wrong information to the space vehicle. Significantly, Delta rockets had been scheduled to launch SDI experiments into space later this year. Whatever the cause of the successive launch failures, there’s no question but that the U.S. space program has suffered a damaging setback. Our three remaining shuttles, which had been counted on to carry vital SDI and other defense satellites into space, are not expected to fly again until mid-1987 at the earliest. And the Air Force’s Titan explosion in April left the Pentagon with only one spy-in-the-sky satellite, a thin margin in today’s dangerous world when Soviet military moves must be constantly watched. Meantime, pending completion of trouble-fixing investigations, America’s commercial space effort is grounded while European and other entrepreneurs scramble to fill the gap.

everywhere meaning even to their home base, America. Now the American leftiest devoid of any patriotism or Christian spirit are lashing out against President Reagan’s strike. Even Rev. Jesse Jackson had shown his lack of compassion for Reagan’s efforts in trying to curb the brutal terrorism that is plaguing our world. Jackson even blasted President Reagan for backing freedom fighters movements in the Phillipines, Nicaragua, Afghanistan. Angola and anywhere else the Soviets try to destroy freedoms. Sincerely.

MAD reviews recent activities

By LESLIE MILLER Staffffriter The Milford Area Development Council reviewed its two most recent activities, the Memorial Day chicken barbecue and the sesquicentennial, during its Saturday, June 14, meeting. The chicken barbecue proved to be a success again this year as the profit margin is expected to reach approximately S4OO. Although quite pleased by the figure, MAD members fglt it

Minor injury results from accident

Three accidents last Thursday and Friday, June 12 and 13, accounted for one minor injury, with Syracuse Police reporting no arrests in any of the incidents. In a 5:15 p.m. collision Thursday, Mary E. Toles, 75, 901 Northwood Dr., Anderson, was attempting to cross Access Road from Pickwick Road when she struck a 1980 Chevrolet truck, driven by Julie K. Schmall, 18, r 1, Syracuse. Schmall was heading east on Access Road when she was hit by the southbound 1985 Oldsmobile, driven by Toles, who claimed that a van had obstructed her view as she proceeded from Pickwick Road. Up to S2OO damage was caused to both vehicles, while no injuries were reported. Gerry A. Byland, 51, r 4 box 419 Al, Syracuse, a passenger in a 1986 AMC jeep, driven by Fred S. Byland, 56, of the same address, complained of pain in her left elbow and was transported to Goshen Hospital by a private vehicle, after suffering from a fall as a result of a collision at 8:02 a.m. Friday.

could have been higher had the same number of people attended as did at last year’s barbecue. Purchasing a total of 1,100 chicken halves, which was the same number used last year, MAD had 221 frozen halves left over, winch it is in the process of selling. To reduce the overhead for next year’s barbecue, MAD discussed the possibility of limiting the meals to carry-out only. It was decided to serve the dinners inside the community building as well as carry-out for one more year in hopes that this

June A Brown, 21, r 4 box 422, Syracuse, was traveling east on Main Street when her vehicle collided with the Fred Byland vehicle, 40 feet east of Huntington Street. Fred Byland had stopped in a traveled lane on the south side of the street to let Mrs. Byland out of the jeep when Brown collided with the left rear of the vehicle, causing the passenger to fall to the pavement. Brown claimed she had thought the jeep was going to park at the curb and attempted to pass before colliding with it. Up to $2,500 damage was caused to the Byland vehicle, while the 1970 Ford Brown was driving suffered up to SI,OOO in damages. A failure to yield the right-of-way accounted for a two-car collision 1:35 p.m., Friday, when Bob L. Walls Jr., 24, 201 Pickwick Place, Syracuse, collided with a 1980 SBU, driven by Darin A.

year’s small turn-out was parti ally due to the vast number of i activities happening with the sbsquicentennial celebration. Sesquicentennial Funds Moving from that topic into a discussion of sesquicentennial itctivities, MAD noted that its profits from the event should total approximately $5,000. With this money, MAD inter ds to replace all damaged chairs inside of the community building. At present the building has between 75 and 80 chairs in usable condition.

Walls was traveling east on Pickwick Road in a 1981 Chevrolet when he stopped at the Warner Road (CRS3OE) intersection, before proceeding east and colliding with the Keim vehicle Walls claimed he didn’t see Keim approaching from the south before he advanced through the intersection, causing up to $2,;00 damage to both vehicles. No injuries were reported by Syraci.se Police.

Lightning hits 65-foot pine tree

Syracuse Fire Department vras called to a rental home one-half mile south of Crazy Corners at 6:35 a.m. Wednesday, June 11, for a pine tree fire. Damage was estimated at SIOO to the tree. The home is owned by Guy 13ill Fisher, r 1 Milford, and the ca jse of the fire is believed to be from lightning. The 65-foot tall pine tree was hollow and firemen tried to extinguish the fire. The ow ier of the property was advised to have the tree removed as soor as possible.

Wed., June 18,1988— THE MAIL-JOURNAL

For this reason, MAD has formed a committee to check into the purchase of new folding metal chairs and begin a replacement schedule. Several companies will be considered and the decision will be based upon the most durable chair for the most reasonable price. With a portion of the remaining sesquicentennial money, MAD is considering replacing the “Welcome to Milford” sign on the Syracuse-Milford road. A Syracuse firm has offered to construct such a sign and install it for approximately $165. Further study will indicate the feasibility of putting up similar
