Vintage beard, dress winners are named in North Webster
By CARLA GAFF Staff Writer
In 1837, in northern Indiana a small settlement near the lakes was established and christened Webster. The people were simple and good and enjoyed a get-together; and after 150 years the same can still be said, especially at this time when they’re celebrating “Sesquicentennial 1987” in North Webster, Ind. Perhaps one of the most unique events celebrated during the North Webster Sesquicentennial

has been the beard and vintage dress contest on Tuesday evening. The weather was sticky and hot, but this didn't stop the Charles Baker family from making its debut dressed totally in the 1960 s era. Charles toted his long barrel musket loader, while Jill with long curls, long dress and hoop, carried her lace umbrella. And, the Baker boys, all three, wore suspenders and black hats. Needless to say, all looked a bit sultry but happy as they walked away with three plaques and $45 in cash prizes. The family won first place in the family costume section of the contest, as well as Jill taking second place for
women’s costume of the era and Charles took second place in the youngest male beard section of the contest. < Jill and Charles Baker are shown with their three sons. From left, in front, are Jake, Nick and Luke. (Photo by Carla Gaff)
women’s costume of the era, and Charles placing second in the youngest male with a beard contest. Other Winners Judy Clayton was also totally dressed for the era, though in perhaps a simpler manner. No lace umbrella for her, but she did carry a small wicker basket with a crotcheted covering. She wore a sun bonnet to match her long blue gingham dress and simple shoes, and took first place in the women’s costume of the era section of the contest. Beards and mustaches of all kinds were also being judged during the contest.
There were five categories for the beard and mustache section of the contest. Contestants ranged in age from 28 to 74. Best looking male beard was won by Jack Rhoades with Ray Auker taking second place. High honors for shaggiest looking beard were taken by John Collins with Jay Overmeyer taking second place. Dennis Wagoner took the top placing in the longest handle bar mustache section with Paul Royer second. The oldest male beard section was won by Bob Richards with Howard E. McCain taking second place. The youngest male beard section was won by Leon Woody and Charles Baker took second place. The contest was sponsored by the North Webster Chamber of Commerce with plaques and cash prizes awarded to winners.

Plain Township projectedlb have largest population gain
In 1983, the Indiana State Board of Health released a series of county population projections to the year 2020. Those projections were widely distributed and accepted for use by health agencies and others concerned with the future of Indiana. They were prepared as part of a long-term program of cooperative research between the State Board of Health and the Indiana University School of Business. Often, however, planning for business or government requires information for smaller areas. Below the county level, the only geographically stable unit is the township. All other units more easily change their boundaries. To meet the need for population projections for smaller than county units, the Indiana State Board of Health, working in cooperation with the Indiana School of Business, has prepared a series of Township Population Projections. Lakeland Area In the greater Lakeland area, Jefferson Township had a population of 1,090 in 1980, 1,130 in 1985, with a projection of 1,340 in 2020, for an increase of 22.9 percent. Plain Township had a population of 4.970 in 1980 ; 5,780 in 1985, with a projection of 9,240 in 2020, an increaseof 85.9 percent. * Tippecanoe Township had 5,340 in 1980, 5,950 in 1985, with a projection of 8,900 in 2020, an increase of 66.7 percent. Turkey Creek Township had 6,590 in 1980, 7,230 in 1985, with a projection of 10,310 in 2020, an increase of 56.4 percent. Van Buren Township had 3,120 in 1980, 3,310 in 1985, with a projection of 4,210 in 2020, an increase of 34.9 percent. Plain Township had a significantly higher percentage increase than any township in
Kosciusko County. The Indiana Township Population Projections are an extension of the Indiana County Population Projections, 1983 series. These projections are for all of Indiana’s 1,008 townships and cover the period 1985 to 2020. The model selected for these projections is a demographic model. It assumes that the population changes within a township are the result of births, deaths, and migration into and out of the township. The population of a township was divided into cohorts
It happened . . . . . . in Syracuse
10 YEARS AGO, JUNE 22,1977 “Syracuse is Alive and Saleing.” This is the theme chosen by the Syracuse uptown merchants for their “Flotilla Progress Days,” to be held Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 30-July 2, in the east 100 block of Main Street in uptown Syracuse. Les Webber, chairman of the event, said, “We’re going to draw a lot of people in, there's no question about it.” Lamar Stoops, president of the Syracuse Lake Association, made a request to the Syracuse Town Board at its meeting Tuesday night for the board to purchase one strobe light for Syracuse Lake and the associa : tion to pay for another light. The Syracuse Business and Professional Women’s Club met on Tuesday, June 14, at Elder’s Castle on Syracuse Lake. A total of 27 members attended. Plans were discussed for an entry in the Flotilla Parade. Mrs. Paul VanDyke will serve as chairman, assisted by Mrs. David Stoops. Members of the Syracuse Town Board met with department heads to discuss their budgets for the 1978 year at the town hall last, Wednesday, June 15. Police Chief Ron Robinson first presented his budget to the board. On salaries, Robinson is asking for a six per cent increase for regular officers pay and a SSOO increase for reserve officers. He attributes this to the higher cost of living. ■ * 20 YEARS AGO, JUNE 21,1967 Walter Calnon asked the Syracuse town board of trustees for a resolution Tuesday evening to allow Robert Reed, town attorney, to draw up a new ordinance to require all property owners to obtain a permit for a fee to open the streets in the town of Syracuse when they want to work on server or water lines.

classified by race (white and nonwhite), sex (male and female), and age (19 age categories). Projections for each cohort were computered for each five-year period from 1985 to 2020. Once projections for each cohort were computed, they were summed to produce the projected township population. After projected populations were computed for all of the townships in a county, they were adjusted so their sum was equal to the projected county population of the 1983 series. This process provided a base projection for each township.

It was reported last week that the state board of tax commissioners has approved creation of
At the township level, the most difficult component of the basic demographic equation was net migration. Knowledge of local conditions provided an important source of information for adjusting and projecting net migration. Information was obtained concerning many indicator? of population change including: housing starts and school enrollment; water and sewage conditions; availability of transportation; growing or declining industrial bases; arid geographical suitability for future development.
an accumulative building and sinking fund and tax levy for erection of sewage plant and sewers in Syracuse.

Street dept, does not endorse ad solicitation
Syracuse Utilities Supervisor Joe Dock is cautioning area businesses and individuals about buying advertisements for the Indiana Street Commissioners' Magazine through the State Street Commissioners Association. The local street department does not endorse this solicitation, which is expected to be made this week. The Street Commissioners Association, based in Frankfort, will be seeking advertisements for their publication probably by telephone. Dock stated the reason for not endorsing the solicitation is that the publication will only be seen by other street commissioners and city officials.
