Editorial

project worth noting The Lions of the greater Lakeland area, as well as Lions from all over Indiana, deserve a pat on the back for the completion of their most recent state-wide effort. In/1980 the Lions decided to purchase a Scanditronix Medical Microtron Accelerator for the Indiana University Medical Center’s department of radiation oncology. Total cost: $909,990. Last Sunday 2,400 Lions and their ladies from across the state gathered to witness the final SIOO,OOO payment on the machine and hear Lions Cancer Control President Ken Jackson of Sweester say the trustees were ready to start on a new project. The microtron is a new dimension in the treatment of cancer thru radiation therapy. No other medical accelerator provides its range of energies, does rates and field shaping. The result is the fact that treatment can be tailored more effectively to each individual patient. The Lions Cancer Control Project was established 30 years ago to supply special equipment for the treatment of cancer at the IU Medical Center. Since that time the Lions of Indiana have contributed nearly $3 million to the fight against cancer. There has been a lot of sweat and dedication go into the raising of these funds. Clubs like Milford, North Webster, Syracuse, Leesburg, Mid-Lakes and others in Kosciusko County and throughout the state have held individual and joint projects such as candy sales, broom sales, fish fries, chili suppers, and the like with profits going toward the new microtron. Os the almost $3 million raised, 91.6 percept has gone for equipment, research and scholarships. Administration costs have been kept at an unbelievable 2.82 percent by the dedication of the Lions who have served on the cancer control board. Even though they come from all over the state of Indiana, none claims expenses. It is a total dedication of time and money. It is a project worth noting. A project that has helped and will continue to help people from all over the state in the fight against cancer. Stop it! One major organization after another promoting the public welfare has called for a ban on smoking on airliners. The latest call for a halt came from the scientific community, which found smoking on airliners definitely harmful to passengers who don’t smoke, as well as to addicts. In addition, smoking on airliners increases the risk of fire and makes the work and hours of the crew even harder and more demanding. So, why doesn’t the Federal Aviation Adminstration ban smoking? The airliners will likely never take the lead, since the first to bar smoking will lose passengers to those catering to addicts. The federal government, with a mass Os information from the Surgeon General, plus many independent studies, all proving that smoking kills and impairs health, should move. Several members of Congress are proposing laws to ban smoking on the airlines. But the prospect of a legislative ban is long-term, involving politicans. FAA action could come with an order, designed to protect the health and safety of all airline passengers. Marching band Marching bands have long been enjoyed by the people of many countries; in the last generation, they have found a new place in U.S. society at football games. - There are few military parades and few ceremonial occasions at which bands give concerts these days. But there are many football games each fall and at almost each there are one or two marching bands. The mystery about these performances is why practically all of them offer pop music or fad tunes from films. The best music for a marching band, the most enjoyable and the most appropriate, is the march. John Philip Sousa, the famed American march composer and conductor, wrote many good marches and there are stirring and splendid English, German, Austrian, Italian, French and other marches. With the very big bands fielded at college football games, stirring march music can be produced. Public opinion < A prominent speaker once said: “The first lesson we must take to heart is that people are swayed by their emotions, not their intellects.” The majority, which acts according to emotional stimuli, are but tools handled by clever brains. The individual whose decision is fashioned by an emotional response is a fish following the bait without seeing the hook. Let no one imagine that people, swayed by emotions, rule this country. The nation is ruled by the clever, who creaate situations which result in emotional reactions. Back of the popular emotion, however expressed, is the mind that takes advantage of the nature of human beings to secure a definite, specific result.

What others say —

Yourfriend On the wall of a printing house we know, where employees must see it, hangs a motto which reads: “If you can better yourself, here or elsewhere, and you do not do it, you are a fool.” The best employers never pin a person down — they boost them along. They take pride in seeing advancement, either under their guidance or that of another employer. One of the most successful corporation heads of the country urges subordinates to “organize themselves out of their jobs” — to put so much of their ability into the job in the way of streamlining it that they will not be needed. Then, he says, they are ready for another and bigger job, which in turn they can treat the same way. . ' i t No job can help the holder to a better one until and unless the holder helps the job to be rightly done. The interesting thing about any job is that to make it interesting one must take an interest in it. If a person does, out of it he gets not merely a living in salary or wages, but enjoyment, development and advancement. , ~ Any job is a good friend if treated in a friendly manner. Most of our waking time is spent with our jobs, and certainly there is nothing to compare with the feeling of having done a good day’s work. Pleasure comes from play, but joy comes from creative labor. -CARROLLCOUNTY COMET

"CRUZIN AROUND 'CUSE"

WE KNEW Doug and Carolyn Anderson had a good thing going at their Wawasee Boat Company on Lake Wawasee, but we didn’t know it was that good. By that good we mean to rate being singled out as one of the Ten Top Dealers of the Year 1988 by Boat A Motor Dealer magazine, the bible for American dealers in boats and motors and other marine supplies. The Andersons were delighted to learn of the new honor coming their way. we were to learn last week. "Your business organization has brought positive comments from our editors and other industry personnel who have seen your operation." wrote the editor and publisher of the prestigious magazine. George Van Zevern. The Andersons will receive their special award at a luncheon in their honor at the Friday. September 28, Chicago Trade Show in the Dr. Lawless Room, at McCormick Place in Chicago. The September issue of HAMD mentioned the Anderson award, and the cover of its November issue will feature a photo of the Andersons and other similar winners. You can bet the Andersons will be present for the presentation. Just a year ago. in the November 1985 issue of the magazine, the Wawasee Boat Co. and the Andersons rated a four page feature with 10 photos of the popular marina and key personnel of the operation. That was no small shakes in itself. People who have lived in the area and around the lakes for some time remember when Ken Harkess reigned supreme at the boat company. Today Harkess has retired to his East Main Street home and has become something of a celebrated local artist. bringings to life many old historic scenes around the lake area for posterity. The Andersons, also, make an effort to keep a link to the past, as one can walk around their marine and see a 1937 Chris Craft docked alongside a 1985 Century, with the restoration of a 1935 Garwood in progress in their shop Incidentally, the marina is the second oldest Century dealer in the country, having taken on the line in 1932. "We’re probably their (Century’s) largest inboard dealer." Anderson claims. Doug Anderson graduated from Northwestern University in 1964 and from Harvard Business School in 1967 He taught corporate finance at Northern Illinois University and in 1976 he and his wife, Carolyn, decided to retire from his financial consulting business in a Chicago suburb. They moved to the Anderson family summer home on Lake Wawasee in Syracuse and purchased the Wawasee Boat Company ?long with a partner who they later bought out THE SYRACUSE Executive Committee got a shocker last week two days after they opened the package of their fancy memorabilia for their 1987 sesquicentennial. In all it involved from 100 to 150 individual pieces of stamped pewter that went on letter openers, on beer stines. on key chains and Christmas decorations. .i What was the big rhubarb? you ask. The word SESQUICENTENNIAL was misspelled The letter Q turned out to be a letter O. It took the eagleeye of Kip Schumm, ad salesman (erstwhile proofreader at The Mail-Journal) to catch the typo. Value of the shipment was something over $3,000. confirmed Jeanne Gardiner, a member of the Sesqui Executive Committee The shipment, which arrived a week ago Monday from Friederich’s Wholesaler & Distributor of Topeka, IN., was unpacked, and it wasn’t until the precious little items were shown to Schumm on Wednesday that the error was discovered. But fret now. says Friederich’s salesman Richard Shallenbarger, for all will be set aright. Shallenbarger says it will be a minimum of 22 days before the shipment is replaced. READERS will be hearing a lot more about the community’s 1987 sesquicentennial, and we don’t think it’s too early to let people know the committee has already decided to use any excess (left over) funds to establish a permanent town museum. Excellent idea. LITTER IS a problem everywhere, it seems, not only in Syracuse, as this column has been pointing out with some real results. Last week, we printed a photo of new trash containers in the community that are more than just utilitarian; they’re rather eye-catching and have ads for sponsoring merchants painted attractively on the side. Credit goes to the following merchants for supporting this attempt to keep the town clean: Syracuse Automotive, Dave Ridings of State Farm Insurance. Augsburger’s Super-Valu,

Bock to school for bankers

American Institute of Banking classes have begun at Penn High School, Mishawaka, and five State Bank of Syracuse staff-

Thornburg Drugs and Pilcher’s Shoes. Let’s hope people use them. WE THOUGHT it might be a little early for political charges to be flying through the air. but here they come. Democratic candidate for Kosciusko County sheriff, Jerry Johnson, has accused the sheriff's department, where he bas-town jailer for some time under Sheriff Al Rovenstims of using the old musical chair syndrome, of perpetuating one another in public office. Robinson, captain for the past eight years during the two terms of Rovenstine as sheriff. If he should win that office in the November 4th election. will name his boss. Rovenstine. as his captain. a job he could hold for eight years if Robinson is the successful candidate for two terms. Wow. are we going back to this? Such musical chairs has become scandalous under the one-party politics that has surrounded the court house In Warsaw all these years.' As Johnson tells it. J.D. Geiger, outgoing county auditor, is slated to become jailer January 1,1988, under Robinson as sheriff, this date ending his two terms as auditor And Charlene Morts, defeated candidate (by newcomer Pal Brown) for county auditor. Is continuing on as deputy auditor, but would then move over to become secretary In Robinson's sheriff's office. Talk about musical chairs! RICK EYER is enthusiastic about the cleanup and remodeling job he is doing on his new place of business on Pickwick Road — New R.C.’s Pier. Most readers will remember it as. first. Merrill's. built/owned/operated by Merrill Norris; later as Quackers, owned/operated by Waiter Young , then by Captain's Place, owned/operated by Ernest Fried of Goshen and his sister Elsa Cobbs of Syracuse. Rick Eyer bought the place from Fried and Cobbs, who owned it for three years, and took over a week ago Saturday, changing its name to New R.C.’s Pier. Young Eyer Is giving the place a real face lift. OLD TIME S-W Rotary Club members insist the Youth League ball field north of Syracuse, near St Andrews United Methodist Church, has always been. Is. and will continue to be known as Rotary Field. There’s something of a rhubarb about this, between the Rotary Club and the Wawasee Kiwanis Club, the group that has taken over maintenance of the ball field. The latter group insists on renaming the field Kiwanis Field. They went so far as to remove the Rotary Club's nameplate and replace it with their own. In fact, the Rotary Club is having a durable monument cast, which they hope to mount on a large stone, signifying for all the view, that the . field, is in fact. Rotary Field. Some Rotarians get very upset about this proposed name change . . . and so do the Kiwanis members. YOU GOTTA hand it to those Wawasee Kiwanis members Their benevolence includes feeding needy families at Christmas time; and now they’ve taken on Vega Field on West Brooklyn Street as a project in their Youth league prot gram (See page 1 photo and story ) One would have been surprised to watch them working all day Sunday putting up a six-foot chain link fence around their new adult softball field. Guess what? Next they want to light the field! One would think they already have their hands full with their Rotary Field near the St Andrews Methodist Church But, no! This overall youthoriented program, organized for the benefit of some 380 youngsters in the community, will take $30,000 to keep afloat. That's a lot of moolah, but we re betting they can do it — with a lot of support from the community, of course. GOOD TO see Fred Byland back at his jewelers desk Monday morning, at Byland Jewelers in uptown Syracuse, loupe In hand, following a two-week motor trip he and Jerry made through the west. They traveled through the Dakota's, Colorado. Wyoming and as far as Utah, "seeing all the sights along the way.’’ The Bylands have become inveterate travelers, most of It within the continental limits of the United States. IT SEEMS "everyone" is talking about the spectacular 35-yard kick Bruce Jackson made Friday night to give the Warriors a 3-0 win over Concord in the season opener. But especially pleased were Bruce’s parents, Totp and Patti Jackson, of 106 Cherokee Drive, Kanata Manayunk Bruce’s kick made him the leading punter in high school football in Indiana, with two kicks to his credit. He has to his credit 8 points-after. Also in the leading scorer column are two other Wawasee football players. Chris Cotton, with two field goals, and Scot McDowell, also with two field goals. Bruce’s dad, a 1935 graduate of Columbia City • High School, was a center in high school and claims he "did all right” at the game himself WHAT IS termed the Fall Membership and Prospect Get-Together of the S-W Chamber of Commerce will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday. Sept. 28. at the Syracuse Lakeside Park. What else? Introduction of officers and directors, presentation of special President's Award, a Question and Answer session.
