SYRACUSE HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest Concerning Our High School Written for The Syracuse Journal. Teachers vs. H. S. Boys The teachers and the High School boys, that are not on the team staged a basket ball game Thursday, after school. At the beginning of the game, the High School boys were going good, and with a little luck, they ran the score of 11 to 2. The teachers pepped up a little, and at the half, it was 11 to 12, in favor of the H. S. Boys. After the first half it was a hard fought battle all the time. First the teachers would score, and then the High School boys. At the end of the game, the score board said 21 to 21, but when the score-book was looked over, it was found that the score was 20 to 21, in favor of the teachers. The players and score of each is as follows: H. Sw Boys Players FG FT F PTS R. Miller 0 2 1 2 Richart 1 0 0 2 Mench 0 3 4 3 Swensen 3 11 7 Stetler 2 2 0 6 Brunjes 0 0 0 0 Brown ...... 0 0 1 0 Totals - - 6 8 7 20 Teachers Players FG FT F PTS Timberlake .1 2 3 4 Slabaugh 3 3 3 9 Barnhart .... 0 0 2 0 Beck 3 2 4 8 Kehr 0 0 2 0 Totals 77 14 21 —-fe The Ginger Gem for this week is: “In battle, or business, whatever the game— In law, or in love, it is ever the same; In the struggle for power, or scramble for pelf, Let this be your motto: ‘Rely on yourself!’ For whether the prize be a ribbon or a throne, The victor is Ke who can go it alone.” —Saxe Ty Cobb, the major league baseball star ■, says: “Cigarette smoking stupefies the brain, saps vitality, undermines one’s health and lessens the moral fiber of man. No boy who hopes to succeed in any line can afford to contract a habit that is so detrimental to his physical and moral development.” Our yell leaders are doing fine! They have chosen some new yells and presented them to us with lots of pep. With the help of Mr. Timberlake ,and the band, we were able to learn the songs better, so all you basket ball fans come and root for us Wednesday night. Everybody waits for the Thanksgiving vacation with joy, but we’re warning the basketball boys to watch their diet, because of the game Friday night. We would hate to have them tell the coach, “We ate too much turkey.” The seventh and eighth grades have been having some hard fought battles in the basketball league. It seems that if names have anything to do with the team’s ability, there should be some good teams. The visitors for this week were Eleanor Shultz, a member of the class of ’26, on Friday morning. Louie Nicholai, a former student of Syracuse High School, on Thursday afternoon. I A musical program is being planned to be given on the night of December 20. The grades and high school pupils will participate. The program will consist entirely of Christmas music. An interesting chapel talk was given Monday morning by Rev. Foust on the subject, “Purity.” o BAZAAR The Ladies’ Aid of the U. B. church will hold a bazaar and bake sale at the Hollett Motor Sales on Friday and Saturday, December 7 and 8. They will sell chicken and noodles. Bring containers. 30-3 t —o A classified ad will sell it.

TULAREMIA DISCOVERED Tularemia, a disease Which rabbits and rodents, and which is easily communicated to I uman beings, frequently with fatal results, has been found in Kosciusko county. The liver of a rabbit killed by a hunter, was taken to the Warsaw clinic Thursday evening and examination and analysis made by Dr. J. R. Baum, showed that the rabbit had tularemia. Tins disease may be contracted by the person dressing the rabbit, if there is a skin abrasion on his hand, or by eating the flesh. The first symptoms are nausea, vomiting, temperature and great prostration. There is a high per cent of mortality among those | affected. The liver of rabbits | should be closely examined by those preparing them for cooking, as the disease frequently is shown only by small yellow spots in the liver. Regarding this disease, the Indiana State Board of Health Bulletin says the following: “Prevention is the key-note of modern medicine. Keep your bare hands out of a wild rabbit —one per cent of them infected are infected with tularemia. Rabbit meat, thoroughly cooked, is harmless for. food, because a temperature of 133 degrees F. kills the infection. Rubber gloves afford complete protection to those who must dress wild rabbits. “Beware of the wild rabbit which the cat or dog has caught —or which a boy has killed with a club—it is probably a sick rabbit. A warning to the poor sportsman is necessary. He should not shoot the rabbit that is on the point of his gun. Let him take his rabbit on the run at twenty-five feet distance and the chances will be lessened that the rabbits he bags will be sick with tularemia. “The women of this country are coming to the rescue. They are telling their sportsman husbands to bring home the birds, but to let the rabbits lie as they fall —‘Don’t bring them home.’ The disease is new', but the warding is 5,01)0 years old. Read Leviticus, dhapter eleven, verses four to eight: “The flesK of the hare ye shall not eat. and it’s carcass ye shall not touch; they are unclean to you. _______Q. DUCK HUNTERS COMPLAIN Acting on of many hunters of this state who seek opportunities of duck shooting under the same open seasons as are now enjoyed in the neighboring states of Illinois and Ohio, George N. Mannfeld, fish and game division superintendent of the state conservation department, has taken the ►matter before tKe secretary of the U. S. department of agriculture and is hopeful of consideration. Mannfeld explains that federal regulations permit shooting wild ducks in Illinois and Ohio from September 16 to January 1, but the federal regulation permits Indiana an open season only from Oct. 1 to Jan. 15. In other words, duck shooting is legal in Ohio and Illinois 15 days before the season opens in Indiana. Many complaints hav been registered by hunters, especially tKose along the Illinois line, and an effort will be made to have the federal regulation in this state changed to permit shooting from Sept. 16 to Jan, 1, > DEATH OF E. W. LLOYD Edward William Lloyd, 76, a former Warsaw resident, passed away at 1:30 o’clock Thursday morning at the MetKodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Death was due to pneumonia, which followed a major operation to which he submitted several weeks ago. Mr. Lloyd leaves his widow; four daughters, Mrs. Ezra Graham, of Warsaw; Mrs. Emma . Mabie, of Syracuse; Mrs. Sam Iden, of Chicago, and Miss ' Mamie Lloyd, a teacher in the ‘ Shortridge high school at Indianapolis; and one sister, Mrs. Emma Reed, of Los Angeles. o , DUCK HUNTING NOW ON Hunting wild ducks is now a passion with Syracuse nimrods and a good many of these fowls have been bagged. o I “Kit Carson,” a pictarization r of the romantic life of the famous scout of bygone days —starring Fred Thompson.

LOST DAMAGE SUIT The Northwestern Wrecking Company of Milwaukee and the Hartford Fire Insurance Company lost their $50,000 suit against the Baltimore & Ohio railroad in a verdict returned Thursday, last week, by a jury in the Elkhart circuit court at Goshen. The members of the jury visited the ruins of the fire before returning the verdict. The action was brought by Nick Sabatinelli and James Candioto, owners of the Northwestern Wrecking Co., and the Hartford Fire Insurance Co., who allege that a locomotive on the defendant’s lines set fire to the Sandusky Cement Company plant at Syracuse, on November 15, 1924. The plant was being torn down by the Northwestern Wrecking company when it caught on fire and was completely destroyed. The building was insured in the Hartford Fire Insurance Co. for $15,000, and this sum was paid to the Northwestern Wrecking company. The. insurance company sought to recover this amount from the railroad. The complaint was originally filed at Warsaw, but was taken to Goshen on a change of venue. It had several times been set for trial, but for various reasons continuances were granted. Burke G. Slaymaker, of Indianapolis, and L. L. Burris, of Goshen, represented the plaintiffs, and Howard Mounts, of Albion, and J. R. Nyce. of Elkhart, represented the defendants. o ANNOUNCED MARRIAGE The Junior Ladies of the Round Table met at the home of Miss Marjorie Kline, Thursday evening, November 22nd. The business meeting was progressing nicely, when a messenger appeared and asked who handled the club correspondence. Upon being told that Miss Richhart did, he handed her a large white envelope. Upon opening the same, it was found to contain the marriage certificate of Marjorie Kline and Byron Connolly. The couple were married in LaGrange on June 10. Silence reigned for several seconds in the room, for each and every club girl was sui’prised speechless. Although the meeting was of great importance, little was accomplished from that time on. Dainty refreshments were served later in the evening. The couple is well liked and quite prominent in Syracuse, and besides Mrs. Connolly’s club many other residents of this town wish them “health, wealth and happiness," The bride is a senior in the Syracuse High school, and the groom is connected with the Royal store, 0 BIRTHDAY SURPRISE Mrs. John Bender received a very pleasant surprise last Sunday when a number of her relatives came to remind her of her birthday. Those present were: Fred Grissajner and family of Sturgis, Mich., Mr, and Mrs. John Heltzel of Albion, Mrs. Norman Hartsough, Mr .and Mrs. Otis Hartsough and family, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hartsough and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hartsough and family, Mr. and Mrs. George Schrock and family of Millersburg, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Nicolai and family, Edward Heltzell, Mr. and Mrs. Victor Niles and Mrs. Bender. All departed saying they had a very pleasant day and wishing Mrs. Bender many returns of the happy day.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1928

Thanksgiving The custom of giving thanks | to God for the good store with which the earth has repaid labor, originated with a pagan people many centuries ago and has come down to us as a festival that touches the heart of all humanity. We spend our days preoccupied with little things, facing labor and anxieties and achieving small triumphs and may forget the debt of thanksgiving in the pressing obligations of daily work. But once a year it is recalled by the united voice of the Church and State and by universal acknowledgment of the human heart. And we find that it is indeed good to give thanks and pleasant indeed to do so in the presence of those we love. And we may give thanks not only for present but also for the vision and sincerity of those early Americans who found time, inJ the midst of labors and hazards beyond opr experience, to dedicate an enduring festival to thanksgiving for peace and plenty. I LIBRARY NOTES THE OLD; SNOW-MAN Ho! The old Snow-Man That Noey Bixler made! He looked as fierce, and sassy ' As a soldier, on parade! x ’Cause Noey, when he made him, While we wuz all gone, you see, g He made him just a-purpose; Just as fierce as he could be. But, when we all got ust to him, Nobody wuz afraid Os the old Snow-Man — That Noey Bixler made! The Library is essential to Americas chief business, which is the rearing, training and developing of the f itizens of our nation? Don’t forget, children, that we will have Story Hour Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 2:30. Don’t forget to read our new books: Mystery, Love, Western, Biography etc. Found—a cap, two handkerchiefs. o Barkofbiill JNMq&C The Syracuse basket ball team lost to Leesburg, Friday night, in a closely contested battle. The teams were well matched, therefore, the game was very interesting. Quite a few Syracuse fans were over to see the team win or lose, and reports came from the opposite rifle of the gym that our cheering was in unison and very clear, The same two teams play again in our gym, Friday night, November 30. From all reports, our boys expect the story to have a different ending when the fatal shot is fired, — o L, T, L, The Loyal Temperance Legion will meet on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in the basement of the library. o “A Ship Comes In,” an extra fine human drama, November 28, at Crystal, Ligonier,

GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY Syracuse will be one of the thousands of Communities thru these United States where International Golden Rule Sunday will be observed on December 2. Special services will be held in the Churches and Sunday schools, and in hundreds of thousands of homes throughout the land the Golden Rule dinners will be on the program. Among those in this community who have assumed responsibility for the furtherance of this day are: Frank W. Greene, John T. Riddle, Sherman Deaton, Mrs. Floyd Hedges, W. G. Connolly, Lewis A. Neff, Jacob Kerns. George W. Colwell, Herschel! Grimes. After more than six years of observance the first Sunday in December has come to have a recognized place in the calendar of the World as International Golden Rule Sunday. Thousands and thousands! of children, orphans left as the residue of the war in the Near East, which was not over until 1923 at the signing of the Treaty of Lausaane, will be the beneficiaries of the Golden Rule as in other years. Year by year the numbers have grown less until there are approximately 32,000 of these unfortunate orphan children of the Bible Lands still dependent wholly <ipon American charity and generosity. More than 132,552 orphan children have been cared for in the past years by the Near East Relief and over 100,000 of them received moral, religious and vocational training, as well as physical care and they have gone out to become the leaders in their lands. They have new ideals of health and sanitation and are showing qualities of industry and skill, integrity and fine character. o — THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER A mistaken idea with some people is that the newspaper is an individual proposition. If they don’t like the publishers, they feel they must knock the paper and stand in the way of its success whenever possible. They do not realize that tfie local paper is just as much a part of the community as the school, churches or anything else. The newspaper is different from any other business; it is a community affair. It is for service to the people and not for any individual. You may not like the publishers and the publishers may not love you any too wefi —but the paper they are responsible for does just as much for you as the service rendered others. There is nothing personal with it; it is here for a purpose, and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can, and the greater the support of those it undertakes to serve —the whole community—the better service it can render the community. It takes the people to make a good newspaper, and without the help of the people no one can run a successful newspaper, and in time the paper ceases to exist and the town gradually becomes smaller and smaller. It requires money to operate any kind of business —even the churches—and the newspapers are no exception. For i this reason they must Kave thd financial support of the business interests as well as the good will of the public. : = =« O CELEBRATED BIRTHDAY John Buhrt celebrated his 75th birthday on Sunday, November 25, when about forty friends came in and surprised him. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Beiswanger and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Bowser and family, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Schultz and son, Harry, Misses Ethel and Marjorie Smith and Ellen Warbel, Mr. and Mrs. Eli Crowl, Mr. and Mrs. Jess Crowl, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Rasor and granddaughter, Evelyn Buhrt, Mr. and Mrs. John Brunjes and family of Syracuse and vicinity, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Schultz of Goshen, ME and Mrs. Harvey Hentzell and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bergjwff and family and William Buhrt of Gary. A. delicious dinner was served, with a big birthday cake decorating the center of the table. The guests all wished for Mr. Buhrt many, many more such birthdays, upon leaving for their homes. o Nothing ancient about it.

COUNTY TRAINING SCHOGI J i At a meeting of the Sunday i School workers from various - sections of the county, held last r Friday evening in Warsaw, the . .plans were made for the Standi ard county Training School ' which will be held as usual this winter in Warsaw. The follow- : ing committees were appointed - to arrange the details: Courses and Teachers—Rev. ■ Riddle, Mr. Roy Bowen, Mr. I. C. Van Dyke, Harry Lozier, Miss Louise Bebb, Mrs. John Good- . man. Building and Finance: Mr. Wilbur Maish. Mr. Joe E ttinger, Mr. Seward Poor. Publicity: Rev. Walter Gibson, Mr. Samuel Knoop, Mrs. E. D. Good. Rev. Squibb. Mr. Claud Hartman, Rev. C. P. Gibbs, and Revs Truman Rev. Riddle was re-elected Dean and Miss Louise Bebb and Mrs. John Goodman, registrars. The work of securing the faculty has already begun, and the definite date for the school will soon be announced. It will be held as soon as possible after the holidays and will continue for five consecutive nights, with the usual registration fee of one dollar for the term It is urged that’bach Sunday school in the county begin soon to make plans to have a number of its teachers and officers receive the benefits of this school. o “THE SHIELD OF HONOR” Not even a policeman will be able to find a technical fault in the manner in which the actual police drill team scenes in “The Shield of Honor,” the Universal which comes to the Community Theater, Monday a/id Tuesday, December 3 and 4. They are said to be perfect in every detail for with the exception of the more prominent figures in the cast, who impersonate officers in the picture, all the- other police officers are members of the Los Angeles police department and were actually on a field day when the picture was taken. 25C0' policemen were used' in these thrilling scenes which were taken in Exposition Park one of the largest and best public parks in Southern California, the men working under Chief Davis of the Los Angeles Police Department. During the making of the picture, the policemen forgot they were just acting before the camera and entered into the spirit of the thing with great gusto. They went through their maneuvers and drills with the same enthusiasm as they put in their everyday work. The sheriff of Los Angeles .was also an interested onlooker of the taking of the picture for his department of public protection supports an airplane and he readily appreciates what its addition to the metropolitan police forces will do in checking the nefarious operations of criminals and law breakers. The stellar cast embraces such players as Neil Hamilton, Dorothy Gulliver, Ralph Lewis, Nigel Barrie, Thelma Todd, Claire McDowell, Harry Northrup, Joe Girard and others. o BALLOTS MIST BE KEPT While it is unlikely any occasion calling for their use will arise, the ballots that were cast by Kosciusko county citizens in s the general election held Tuesday, November 6, will have to be preserved early until January of the year 1930. The Indiana election law requires that ballots cast in a general election be preserved for 14 months from the date on which the election was held. This being true, the ballots cast in the recent election can not be lawfully destroyed until on or about January 1, 1930. _o FOR AUTO OWNERS If you have wrecked your car, or, if the woodwork needs repairing, or perhaps need new glass for the windshield, take the car to the Goshen Auto Top and Trimming Co., Goshen.

' THINGS TO : THINK ABOUT e' : ’ - Review offThings* by the Editor As He Sees Them on ._ the Surface. l ; Advantages of a Sofa ,* j Clara —You probably wouldn’t • have let me kiss you if we’d 3 stayed at home, but you mustn’t forget that sofa would never have run into a tree just as we ■ got our lips puckered up. ■ I This purely personal bit of , philosophy was found by prying eyes in the classified advertise- ■ ments and while it hints at things that never should be told ’ the philosophy as to the sofa . is sound enough. In this modern era. it is obvious that the comparison is that of a sofa and motor car, and there is no dis- ‘ puting the findings. The old sofa never ran up any trees at any stage of love making. Sometimes the haircloth frayed itself . into an instrument of torture, < but as an article of furniture in ‘ the role of a spoon holder, it was reliable. Little brothers can not hide under swiftly speeding automo- “ biles to tell what they* hear above them, much to. the embarrassment of the big sister and her beau. .For the whole hearted demonstration of affection that advance to the stage oK puckered lips, modern invention has added opportunities, but not convenience. Flapping youth will resent any kind words for the sofa, perhaps, in its zealous approval of more modern inventions, but those whose right to be classed with the older generation is un- ' questioned, will continue to cherish hallowed and unrelented reminiscences associated with sofas flanked by tables graced with Rogera’ groups and family albums. The sofa was all right in its place; and its place was in every home. And it never, never ran into trees, no matter how absent minded the sitters might become. Some Kick One of our Chicago friends - writes to tell us of a fellow up there who took a few drinks of the present day brand of hootch, and shortly began to see reptiles, also animals in assorted colors. So he rented a room and opened a museum. Many people paid 35 cents admission and when they saw only an empty room they called a policeman. The policeman was going to arrest him. but the man got him off in a corner and gave him a drink. The policeman then gave the man S3OO half interest in the show. We’d like to ask. Does it just happen at my house, or is it an universal evil —why in heck is it that a woman never thinks oL asking you to do that littlcf chore or favor until you ar4 comfortably seated and ready\ to read the paper. Rich people contend that we poor folks are happier than they are, but they make no effort -to get rid of tfieir money and join us in our fun. * * To put out in life without thought of the morrow is just sheer folly. Our two feet must, always -remain right on the ground. Those who do many things well are those who devote their minds and energies most wholeheartedly to each task as it comes up. The “lucky stiff” is the chap who works hard, saves his money and takes advantages of opportunities that present themselves. The hunting season is always a notable event in sporting life> but it does not seem to enlarge the national food supply very much. It is claimed the young people fail to listen now, but the girls . can hear all right if you ask them to marry you.
