(Continued from page 4) pride in these three towns (Syracuse, North Webster and Milford)”. IS SYRACUSE and environs ready to participate in a large map in caricature — represented as a “cosmetic overview” —of Kosciusko County? This is a decision that will pretty much rest with the local chamber of com merce, town board and other leadership groups in the community. •< Phaedra Frush of Warsaw, representing Community Spotlight Posters of South Bend, is proposing such a program among local groups and businesses. She claims there will be a minimum guaranteed circulation of 15,000 copies, then the master will be destroyed. The copy Ms. Frush is showing around is of the South Bend/Mishawaka area, and is indeed eye-catching. A father/daughter team in South Bend are the artists for Community Spotlight Posters, according to Ms. Frush. More on this as the promotion takes shape. PITY THE poor mailman. Ever hear that before? We never thought much about that until we witnessed city carrier Paul Yeager toting his heavy-laden mail bag down Main Street one day last week in high 80s temperatures. Paul was sweating profusely. Asked howmany miles his route entailed, he responded it was a nine-mile walk. He does this six days a

Letters to the editor

You were mistaken Dear Editor: In the July 8, edition of The Mail-Journal, in “Crusin’ Around ’Cuse”, it stated that with regard to accepting females into service clubs, “Rotarians, on the other hand, stand adamantly against the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregated service club.” It is unclear whether you were referring to Rotarians worldwide, or to the SyracuseWawasee Rotary Club. In either case, you were mistaken on two counts. First, Rotarians, neither worldwide nor locally, are united adamantly against the Supreme Court decision. We are all law abiding citizens. We intend to abide by the decision of the highest court in the land. Secondly, the Supreme Court, decision merely states that Rotary International cannot legally cancel a local club's charter if members of that club choose to admit women into the club. Finally, the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club believes it is unfortunate that publicity is given to this issue when other much more important work is being done. For instance. Rotary Internationa] is currently engaged in a program to innoculate the children of the world against Polio, in an effort to eradicate this killer disease from the face of the earth. Local Rotarians have been and will continue to be a part of this humanitarian effort. On a local level, even more has been done, financially speaking. At the year end, June 30,1987, over SB,OOO had been donated to local organizations in the past fiscal year by the Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club. Let us not become sidetracked. Local service clubs exist to serve their rfhpective communities. All servictrqlubs in this area acquit themsely,es admirably in this respect Sincerely, Jim Evans, president Syracuse-Wawasee Rotary Club

Starting the day with a newspaper

By WINIFRED PUSHOR The demise of print news media was generously forecast when television first came on the scene. The prediction: Instant, visual coverage of the news will busy the stodgy newspaper. Not so. “I saw it on TV” still does not compete with “I read about it- in the newspaper.” City newspapers and hundreds of small-town and suburban papers survive because there’s something good about “I saw your name in the paper.” One of life’s little pleasures is the morning newspaper. Os course it must be the local paper, an old comfortable friend, one you are acquainted with, whose typeface is familiar, whose layouts, sections and columnists are always in the same place. You know where everything is and find your way through as easily as you traverse your own home in the dark. The newspaper is a breakfast companion, and if the paper is not delivered there’s a void. The coffee tastes bitter. The day is off to a bad start. Never mind that you heard many of the stories on the TV newscast. You want

week —for a total of 54 miles! Anyone with a weight problem might tag along with Paul as an exercise in weight reduction. A NUMBER of Syracuse residents have asked for a copy of the two special Mail-Journal issues pertaining to the sesquicentennial. They are available at the Syracuse M-J office. NIPSCO EVEN got into the act of observing its 75th anniversary during sesquicentennial week. Manager Bob Westfall and his office and line crew gave out attractive pens and balloons during the week. A CROWD of some 125 friends and wellwishers met at the country home of Doug and Carolyn Anderson Saturday night for a retirement party for Al and Ginny Lamley. Al is hanging it up after nearly 14 years with the Anderson Wawasee Boat Co., and Ginny with her seven years. Al “came with the business,” when the Andersons bought the boat company from Harry Bishop on October 2, 1977. Official retirement date for the popular couple: September 1. The Andersons bought the Southeast Marina in the summer of 1980 and That Sailboat Place in January of this year. Carolyn said the party ended in “a good oldfashioned songfest" with Carolyn Parmerlee at the piano.

Wrong name

Dear Editor: I feel the group who has titled itself "Citizens for Quality Education” should perhaps instead be called “Citizens for Convenient Education.” They impress me as being more concerned with their own personal convenience of having a middle school in their own neighborhood rather than providing quality and equal education for all students of the Wawasee Community School Corporation. In addition, “Citizens for Quality Education” in their selfishness have lost sight of the fact that all three communities agreed to consolidate their educational programs into one school system, whereby the tax dollars from all three communities would be combined to provide better and broader educational opportunities than otherwise would be

Resident arrested in bust

Larry Kercher. Haleyville, Ala., formerly of Syracuse, has been arrested for trafficking in marijuana. Another former Syracuse resident, Dan Brodhead, is being sought byWinston County Sheriff’s Department in connection with a $3 million drug bust just outside of Haleyville. Police have been unable to locate Brodhead at whose residence about 4,000 plants, ranging in size from three to seven feet, were retrieved in the search. Kercher and Richard “Ricky”

Alan flees from officer

A Syracuse resident was taken to Kosciusko County Jail, where he was later released on bond, after a one-car accident at 6:04 p m Saturday, July 11. David Jackson, 24, was arrested for flight from an law enforcement officer, leaving the scene of an accident, unreasonable speed, driving with a suspended license, and the unauthorized control of a motor vehicle after colliding with a fence on Syracuse’s south side.

to see it in print, check it over, get the details. TV news is like a telephone call from a friend — nice to listen to, informative and gone when the button is pushed or the receiver replaced. The newspaper is like a letter to be read more than once, to be shared, saved, laughed at, disagreed with and answered. Some few people may write to TV stations, but not the way they do to editors. By his letters to the editor, the non-author but nevertheless thinking man can see his ideas and words in print, a thrill in line with making a hole-in-one or a grand slam in bridge. Newspapers offer a chronicle of man’s life. The babies born today can read about the day they were born. For those who marry there may be a picture, an announcement, a public record of a marriage license to be clipped, copied, sent across the miles and pasted into scrapbooks. Those who die are immortalized, a record of their brief existence on earth noted. More cable channels than ever run sports events and sports news so that most fans have seen the match, watched the game and know the score

proviaea in any one community. I personally applaud Dr. Thornton for bringing this long neglected issue to the forefront and moving ahead toward a decision that will remedy the weak link of the middle school in an otherwise excellent school system. The main issue at this point is how our tax dollars maybe best used to benefit the most children from either a centralized middle school or the two middle school concept. I am sure the school board’s decision will reflect the student's right to the best education for the dollar versus the parent s inconvenience of having to drive three or four more miles to a different location. Here is what we are talking about: "More miles to the gallon or more education for the dollar 9 ”- A concerned parent. V.A. Stoll

Hergott had been seen at a separate residence during police surveillance prior to the arrests The two houses and adjacent property are in a wooded area in the Haleyville area Hergott was also arrested, charged with trafficking. and possession of marijuana. Police confiscated a number of marijuana plants from the residence that Kercher and Hergott shared. Winston CountySheriff Hobby Walker stated that Hergott was arrested at the home and Kercher was apprehended a couple of hours later.

Jackson was .traveling north on CR 530E when he failed to negotiate a turn on Chicago Street, going through a fence at Sea Nymph Inc. and traveling down Chicago Street and across Medusa Street before coming to rest at the Department of Natural Resources boat ramp. Up to SI,OOO damage was caused to the 1978 Ford Mustang driven by Jackson and owned by Cheryl Mclntire, North Webster, who had initially reported it stolen.

So why read the sports page? To rehash the triumph, to explain the fyss. to praise the victors, to relive the experience in print — that’s why. The television media have been unable to arrange succinct squares in a line and have characters speak from balloons to tell a story, bring on a smile, comment on life's foibles. Television has borrowed Charlie Brown and Snoopy, but they were first given life on the comics page. Newspapers are no longer needed to line the garbage pail, which has been replaced by the disposal and the plastic bag. They are no longer needed to reline worn-out shoe soles ‘or insulate drafty windowsills as they were in the days of the Depression. But newspapers are still needed to keep a community informed about the everyday affairs of its people, about the business of its citizens and the opinions of its leaders. They are needed to keep a record of the recurring tragedies and comedies of the human condition. / Mrs. Pushor is a Wayne Township Teacher.
