A '™/Fair Queen to compete in state competition

Kosciusko County Fair will crown its 1987 fair queen Saturday, Aug. i, at Warsaw Community High School’s auditorium. However, the format is completely different than in previous years. Pre-pageant entertainment will begin at 7 p.m., with the pageant, and eventual coronation, starting one-half later. There’s no admission charge. In previous years a Warsaw sorority sponsored a financiallybased queen contest. The participant with the most money was named the fair queen. This year, though, an actual pageant will take place at the high school. The 10 contestants will be judged on beauty, swim suit, evening gown, and talent. The winner will represent Kosciusko County in the Indiana State Fair pageant later this summer. Is r LARELLE E. BAIR Laralle E. { Bair, 20, hopes win the coveted honor.

10 YEARS AGO, JULY 27, 1977 The old time steam locomotive, scheduled to go through Syracuse twice on Saturday, July 30, might go an hour earlier than scheduled and anyone wanting to make sure they witness the historic occasion should be at the local rail station early. A last minute effort by a group of Syracuse citizens whose identity remains anonymous to “keep local control” of planning for Syracuse and Turkey Creek Township proved abortive this morning, when a public notice for a Saturday town board meeting failed to materialize. The effort was to get the town board to meet prior to the Sunday night deadline of transfer of jurisdiction from the Syracuse Plan Commission to the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission, and to reverse its decision. After over a four-month delay, the preliminary plat for Country Club Acres, owned by Donald G. Byrd, Syracuse, was okayed by the Kosciusko County Area Plan Commission during a special called meeting Monday night. Commission president Gale Creighton, said Monday's meeting was the first opportunity for the full board to meet and discuss the petition. He said there was no need to delay a decision on the matter, unless there were questions from the board members. Work is continuing on the Front Street bridge (also known as Hunky bridge) in Syracuse today, in spite of a letter from Joseph D. Cloud, director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to “cease and desist any further work on this project until the necessary approvals are obtained.” The stop order came in a letter to the Kosciusko County Board of Commissioners, dated July 18, a copy of which went to Beer and Slabaugh Construction Co., r 1 Nappanee, and to Jack Mills, county engineer. L. James Butt, 455 Medusa Street Syracuse, was elected the new president of the Syracuse Lake Association at its meeting Saturday, July 23.
