17 By DEB PATTERSON Staff Writer Searching for items to place in the “It Happened In Syracuse” column in The Mail-Journal has often times proved very interesting. This was the case when searching for news from 50 years ago ter our July 15 issue. While going through the Syracuse Public Library’s micro-film of old Syracuse newspapers a special issue of The Indiana Journal was found. It was dated July 15,1937. On this date The Indiana Journal, one of the forerunners of The Mail Journal published a 20-page “Host Edition to Boost Indiana as the Industrial, Agricultural and Recreational Center of the Nation.” F. Allan Weatherholt was editor at this time. An editorial on page 5 states: “The Publishers and Editors of The Indiana Journal oresent this number of the ‘Voice of The Hoosier State’ as The Host Edition. We .dedicate it to the

thousands of vacationers who come here annually to enjoy the beauty of our lakes and community. To the vacationers therefore we say, ‘Welcome’. We sincerely hope your visit here will prove enjoyable and healthful. We hope you will grasp with us the vision of the possibilities of developing this vast vacation region, so that your friends and neighbors, and countless others will come here to share the happiness we all enjoy. “We pay a special tribute to our advertisers who have helped make this Host Edition possible. We urge you to patronize our advertisers and encourage them in the work they are endeavoring to do. “Again we say, ‘Welcome to our vacation land — welcome to Northern Indiana — welcome to SYRACUSE, THE HOST CITY.” When one looks through this special issue it resembles the annual Early Bird Edition published each Memorial Day in The Mail Journal by telling visitors what is available in the area. It also resembles what one might find published for a birthday celebration of a town, such as the

special Syracuse Sesquicentennial Edition recently published by The Mail-Journal, with histories of businesses, the town and surrounding areas. Letters From Officials There are four pages in this publication which are each dedicated to the reproduction of a letter and picture from a government official. Governor M. Clifford Townsend’s letter invites visitors to the State of Indiana and asks people to share the enjpyment people of Indiana have found in the many resorts. State Parks, and natural beauty spots, with an invitation to be permanent residents of the state. The letter also invites industries to locate in Indiana with the many outstanding facilities and natural resources the state has to offer. V.M. Simmons, Commissioner of the Department of Conservation, assures visitors, in his letter, there is a marked improvement in the parks, lakes and recreational centers when visited. He states every possible effort is being put forth to make Indiana’s natural and cultivated beauty spots the most outstanding of any state in the Middle West. Lieutenant Governor Henry F. Schricker directed his letter to the manufacturers of the country to locate plants in the state. He states Indiana has probably many, if not more, facilities in the way of varied transportation to offer the manufacturers of America than any state in the mickile West. He urged Indiana manufacturers to help make an effort to bring industries to Indiana so it may become an even greater industrial state Donald F. Stiver, director of public safety, indicates in his letter that Indiana has probably the finest network of highways in any state of the Union with all roads well marked.

Variety Os Items The remainder of the issue has a wide variety of ancles, including classifieds, legals and plenty of advertisements from area businesses. . There wouldn’t be enough room to list every article that was published at that time, but perhaps the most interesting are the six pages that carried photographs of early Syracuse from the records of Sheldon Harkless, pioneer resident of Syracuse. An article appears stating “Syracuse Becoming Widely Known City in Lake Country. Vacation Land of Indiana Given New Stimulus by Initiative Shown in Little Town of Twelve Hundred Population: Hundred Year Old Community Has Brightest Future of All Hoosier Vacation Region; Rapid Changes Indicate New Economic Era.” The first three paragraphs of the last article are worth noting: “What makes a town change from a quiet and backward community into a progressive and interesting center of activity for an

Resurrection is not 'once a year'

By MARGARET FOTH This is a long time after Easter, but one family’s story reminds me that resurrection is not “once a year.” Leroy and Carol Friesen with their two sons were living in Lebanon. The younger, Chad, was seven years old when he suddenly became very ill. As epileptic seizures wracked his body, he lost motor skills and muscle control. Carol remembers this as the “darkest time! Chad lost the ability to do the things that a seven-year-old does. We saw him bouncing between the fixtures in the bathroom and then realized we would have to help him. Eating became so terribly messy that we started feeding him again. And all of this put a big burden on all of us. ” Since that time, this family has known intense pain. Once when he was 12, Chad asked his father: “Dad, when I get to God, will I shake?” And Leroy told him that he wouldn’t. Today Leroy ..says slowly, “And I continue to believe that he won’t. And that I won’t be impatient wheg I get to God.” Today Chad is 20 years old. He has lived with this unnamed illness, balancing medication to control the seizures against the shaking. The family has sought medical and therapeutic help, always looking for what is possible for Chad. iM JOINS CHORE TIME — Scott Lasater has joined Chore-Time Equipment, Milford, as a marketing representative, accor- ' ding to Michael Kohls manager of product development for ChoreTime. In his new position, Lasater will be assisting Chore-Time's marketing department with product promotion and development, Kohls explained. A native of the Muncie area, Lasater graduated in May from Purdue University with a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics with an emphasis in marketing. Prior to coming to Chore-Time, he was an active partner in his family’s 1. COS-acre corn, soybean, wheat, and 2,000-head farrow-to-flnish hog enterprise. Lasater resides in Warsaw with his wife, Jean Ann, and their daughter, Miranda. Trespassing and - theft reported to Syracuse police One incident of trespassing and one theft was reported to Syracuse Police last week. Both incidents remain under investigation. Pat Coy noticed broken glass on the kitchen sink of her Syracuse apartment and notified police. According to Coy, someone may have broken into her home between 5:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 29. Nothing was reported missing. In a separate incident, Forrest Lewis of Syracuse reported the theft of a six gallon tank from a Johnson outboard motor near his home.

entire vacationland region? “Syracuse, in the past year, has undergone a transformation which promises to be the foundation for a vastly different town in the next five years. The various factors of change have already worked wonders in the town which until two years ago, depended on other communities for its entertainment and relaxation. And these factors, according to all indications, will continue to operate and boost Syracuse to a place of wide prominence, in a lakeland area already well known. “Syracuse, until a few years ago, was just another village in the hundreds which dotted the countryside. People lived and worked here. Vacationers came to Syracuse and Wawasee lakes every year, but they considered the place of little importance. Syracuse was just Syracuse.” The article continues on with the great possibilities of Syracuse, the leadership, power of publicity, year round season, new residents, boom indicated and the remarkable transition.

With pain in eyes and voice, Leroy said, “Nothing else in my life has so confronted me with my own inadequacy as a parent. Challenged my faith: who is God and how is God to be found or received in a situation like this. Particularly as Chad moved into adolescence, it became increasingly necessary that I, a male figure, be more central in his > care. I was showering with him every morning, helping him at every bathroom stop, feeding every meal. I did not find that easy, and I don’t exactly know why. “There has been no point at which the making of a decision freed me from the need to make that same decision tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow! I make decisions that I rest well with more often than I have in the past. But I need to continue to decide. There have been times when we went into the bathroom and I needed to remember how God calls us to be. And i consciously think of that. Because sometimes my love for Chad and my sympathy for him and sometimes my pity for him or for myself are not adequate to motivate me. And it comes right down to whether I am the person of the God who welcomes a stranger. Because the stranger in my life is Chad.” At age 19, following high school, Chad decided that he wanted to move out. They found a group home where he would live

Perhaps no other domestic program has been obscured by myths as much as the Social Security program. The simple truth is that Social Security was born in myth, sold to Congress and the American public as an insurance program in 1935. Each worker received an account number with an implication that his or her taxes, at that time referred to as contributions, went into a bank-type account invested for retirement. In fact, Social Security has operated for many years as a pay-as-you-go system — today’s workers pay for today’s beneficiaries, yesterday’s workers paid for yesterday’s beneficiaries, and tomorrow’s workers will pay for tomorrow’s beneficiaries. The biggest myth about the program that still exists is that Social Security is going broke. While Social Security was in serious financial shape a few short years ago, it is no longer. Today, the program is operating on a solid financial basis. In fact, the trust fund reserves are scheduled to increase significantly over the next several decades to ensure that monies are there to finance the benefits of the “baby boom” generation when they retire. • Another myth that persists is that some workers have paid in hundreds of thousands of dollars into Social Security and will never get their money’s worth out of the program. Again, that is not true. In fact, a 65-year-old worker who has paid taxes on the maximum amount of covered earnings throughout his or her career has paid $23,239 in Social Security taxes through 1986. If that worker would have invested that portion of his tax money used to finance the retirement program at the same interest rate payable on long-term U.S. Government bonds, he would have accumulated $52,216.95. And if retiring this year, that worker could expect to recover that tax con-

ending with the statement “Syracuse is moving forward.” The earliest settlers in the area were not forgotten in the special issue where a lengthy article was written about the Pottawatomie Indians. The headline states: “Like present vacationers, forerunners of white men planned to spend part of every summer enjoying selves and seeking fish on placid lakes.” The headline on the opposite page notes: “Wawasee and Papakee<±a, although they were of Miami Tribes, found their squaws among the Pottawatomies; coming of strangers was feared as common threat.” An article on Syracuse and the Indiana Country One Hundred Years Ago can also be found where information on the Aborigines, Miamis and Pottawatomies, Indian Villages, Indian Anecdotes, Enter Whites; Exit Indians and Syracuse in the Beginning can be found. It is in this article that a lot of Syracuse’s history is written: the problems the faced, schools in the area, travel and communiqption.

with seven other persons who have disabilities. But decisions still aren’t easy. “How to support him, an individual apart from a family, linked with a family but with an identity more and more his own, is not easy. There’s a wide spectrum of levels of impairment in this home and that is often frustrating to Chad.” Carol found it very hard to “let go.” She had put an awful lot of energy into Chad’s care, including medication and doctor’s appointments and watchful hope. The ambivalence of every parent watching a child move into independence was multiplied. Now, Carol can say with a smile that she’s glad that she doesn’t have to see all the daily struggles. When Chad comes home, they have energy for conversation about his growing interest in art and his work at a daycare center. And where’s Easter? Carol says that “part of what Chad has shown me is that I must integrate suffering into my life. We don’t have choices about that; it just comes. Another thing I’ve learned from Chad is that there’s so much about life that is paradox. Without Good Friday, you can’t have Easter. You can’t have real joy without having real sorrow.” Leroy gives a multi-media presentation, about 50 slides of Chad’s art. He’s entitled it, “My Son, My Son: The Struggle for Easter at Home.” For more on the story of Chad, just write to this address: Margaret Foth, P.O. Box 22, Harrisonburg, Va 22801.

tribution and the interest in only years. And based on average life expectancy at age 65, the retired worker could expect to continue receiving monthly benefits for another 10 to 13 years beyond the point where all contributions and interest have been recovered. If the worker has a spouse whomever worked at all, the payback would be completed in about two-thirds of this time. And, of course, that does not take into account valuable disability and survivor’s insurance protection nor Medicare coverage that the worker and his or her spouse receive at age 65. Another common myth about Social Security is that it is a full national retirement system — guaranteed to keep persons at the middle income level throughout their retirement years. But Social Security was always intended as only a partial replacement for lost earnings —a foundation for retirement planning. It was designed to be supplemented by private pensions and personal savings. Another myth is that Social Security trust fund monies have been used to finance such diverse government functions as wars, foreign aid, and highway projects. Os course, that too, is not true. This confusion arises because of misunderstandings about the Social Security trust fund investment procedures. By law, any reserves not used for the payment of benefits or operational expenses are invested only in U.S. Government securities and earn the prevailing rate of interest. The Government uses the money it has borrowed from Social Security, along with other money in its general fund, to finance many programs and projects. But the Federal Government has always repaid its obligations to the trust funds, with interest. In fact, last year the Social Security funds earned almost $4 billion in interest.
