Once more the town of Syracuse has a chance to have a park. What is more important, the town has an opportunity to rid itself for all time of that trash heap located on Road 13, one of the main roads en- ( taring Syracuse. As yet no definite plans have been made for the acquisition of the land but a few are already lamenting, I saying that the land is not Worth the price asked, that better lots can be purchased elsewhere for less money, that the cost of filling the lots would be prohibitive, that dumping trash' in the lots in the same old way is the logical way to handle the proposition, that the trash heap does not look so bad, and that the place has been that way for many years, why change it? Many people however realize that the present appearance of the lots is a financial liability to the town. They know that rats, rubbish, tin cans and filth never create a favorable first impression of any town, or of Syracuse Lake or Lake Wawasee. They know that some people will hever forget the first impression of dirt and ugliness, and will go elsewhere seeking -a resort not built around a dump heap. The main object of the project is to clean up what has been worse than an eyesore to the community, not 15 or 20 years hence, but now. It is not the idea of the men behind the project to seek a better location for the park, but to create a park, a garden spot, from the most hideous site in town. The price is not what it was 50 years, 20 years, or 10 years ago; neither is the price on any lake property. But it has dropped from what it was three years ago. There are still many obstacles to overcome but what has ever been accomplished without overcoming seemingly insurmountable difficulties? Syracuse should be the cleanest, most beautiful town in the state of Indiana. When it is, there will be more tourists, more hke residents, higher prices on lake property and more business. Making a park from this plot of land will help everyone In the community.

GIGANTIC TAX PLAN OF ASSEMBLY Here is the gigantic additional tax program which the McNutt state' administration asked the general assembly Tuesday to pass at once, thus closing the avenue for any discussion 6r deliberation of the members with their constituents- the taxpaying public which must foot the bill: A gross income tax ranging from one-fourth of 1 per cent to 1 per cent.

ALMOST 16 AGAIN, MRS. PORTER WAS SURPRISED ON HER BIRTHDAY

Monday evening 16 little playmates surprised Mrs. Harry Porter with a birthday party in" honor of her birthday. Mrs. Porter was trying to typewrite news in the Journal office when the party arrived, equipped with packages, dishes, food, a bridgeprixe and a party-sized coffee pot. At first appearance it seemed the whole township was coming in the front door, but on being counted the guests numbered 16. Chairs to take care of the party were borrowed from the home of Mrs. Bowser next door, and the guests took places at four tables of bridge in the Porter home above the Journal office. Mrs. L. A. Seider, and Miss Nellie Mann, who seemed to be the instigator and prestidigitator of the affair were kept busy in the kitchen, and took turns playing bridge. At the conclusion of play,” refreshments were served, and then Mrs. Porter was permitted to unwrap her birthday presents. She received a number of beautiful and useful gifts, among these being: hairpins, a reclaimed iollypop, safety pins, a boudior cap for use frequently when breakfasts are served in bed, bld safety razor blades, jewelry with the

condition is much improved. He was able to go outdoors for an automobile ride, Friday, for the first time since his illness. Mrs. H.: W.

The direction of the rehearsals’ is by Mrs. M, M. Smith. The first practise is scheduled for Sunday afternoon in the Methodist church. SYRACUSE MAN (Continued from page One) that the most important question today is, “What must.l do to be saved?” We believe that without Jesus Christ* there is no way of being saved. All around us we hear and see evidences of depression which are being usually interpreted in terms of economics and material factors. We believe that when a man’s Spiritual problems are solved, that God’s Word is actively made a reality, that is, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” 1 do not know if I may have given you herewith some thought of what we are.doing or not, but I am very happy to give you this little reply. 1 find since coming to headquarters that we have many friends throughout my old home section. It does my heart good to know that there are folk everywhere who know the Lord and believe in the saving power of Jesus Christ. We* are organizing World Wide Christian Courier classes throughout the country and have such a demand for additional charters that with the. limited resources, we find it impos-. sible to meet all the requests. There seems hardly a town or community j reached by the radio which has not had some opening offered, if we could only care for the call. Mr. George A. Benson, an electricalj business man in Chicago, who is now the director of our Courier class work is .now planning a trip down through the state of Indiana. I.do not know, whether he will make any visits near Syracuse or not, butj understand that he plans to’ go i through Elkhart, South Bend, Fort) Wayne, Anderson and a number of! the other larger Cities. . I shall be glad to hear from you at any time and hope that I may be able io come to Syracuse some time in the near future when I may pay your office a visit. .... Sincerely, CHARLES C. MYERS. 0 PRELENTEN MEETING The pre-Lenten retreat of the So. j Conference of the Michigan Synod, . United Lutheran church is to be heldl in the Grace church here in Syra- ■ cuae, February 28Officers of te conference, W. E. Bradley, president; L. T. Riley, secretary and J. A. Pettit, treasurer are in charge. Services will continue fom 9:30 .a. s ra. until Holy Communion at 3 p. m. Lunch b to be served by the Ladies Aid.

jewels dropped with old age, emptied tooth paste tubes, samples of bromoseltzer, ultra-fragrant perfume, talcum powder, etc. Also jam, catsup, a tea towel, hand towel, puds for protection against hot pans, a lunch cloth; bridge 'score card, handkerchiefs, and a jig saw puzzle. On up bridge scores it was discovered that Mrs. Porter had high score, and so won the prize which was one of the jig saw puzzles made at Wilt’s. So Mrs. Porter enjoyed the birthday party in every way. Because she fears some one writing “Do you remember” 2() years from now might ask “Do you remember when Mrs. Porter’s 31st birthday was celebrated with a surprise party”, and she would be embarrassed at her age thus being revealed, no mention is being made at this time as to how old she was on Monday. Those who put over the surprise on she birthday were: Mrs. Seider, Mrs. Harold Bowser, Mrs. Walter "Kegg, Mrs. Sol Miller, Mrs. Lloyd Disher, Mrs. Harry Grieger, Mrs. C. H. King, Mrs. C. W. Howard, Mrs Ernest Bushong, Mrs George Xanders,’ Mrs. O. C. Stoeltir.g, Mrs. Roy Schleeter, Misses Alice Mann, Nell Sprague, Helen Bowld, Nellie Mann.

f Business men on the south side of Main Street cleaned off the accumulation of ice Monday that had been deposited on the south side of the street, since the big snow. Years ago, they could have put in a claim for poll tax for doing this sort of work. Now they are doing it to pass the time away. . .* 3 ■ . 5 - ■ ’ Many fishermen were seen on the ice last week Liars are scarce. Chief indoor sport—“panning” the park project. Governor McNutt is swinging the axe freely. When will he use it to loop off the Mayr supporters in Kosciusko county? This new gross sales’ , tax bill which is the governor’s plan to raise more money will mean approximately $lO or sls more in taxes for the i Journal. The editor does not feel privileged to pay out this much more hard-earned money so that among other things, the new governor can have $20,000 for his mansion. Why not cut expenditures to meet funds on hand? “Not one man whc helped put up ice last week drove a car to work,” was the illuminating remark of Lloyd Disher. A sure way to get some real publicity is to propose oneself as a delegate to the state convention at which the resolution for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment will be submitted. In the debate preceeding the granting of wide powers to Presidentelect Roosevelt, Representative Ludlow gave an, example of Democratic logic. He stated that Congress had not played fair with President Hoover when he had asked Congress to -grant him authority to reorganize I the different federal bureaus. Ludlow was one of the Representatives that defeated President Hoover’s efforts. George Firman, secretary of the South Bend Chamber of Commerce, told the committee holding public hearing on the gross sale tax, “maybe we are Close to a tax strike,” and, added: “I’ll give this warning that if the business men can’t pay his taxes this May you’ll close the schools, the statehouse and everything else. MRS. KREAGER SURPRISED Last Friday about 40 members and friends of The Church of the Brethren decided to remind Mrs. Ella ’ Kreager of her 65th birthday. ‘ Mrs. Kreager, who lives about six > miles south-east of town has been ' I confined to her home moqt all winter because of illness, so it was not only a surprise, but a great joy and ■ pleasure to have her Sunday school. ■ class and others come in about noon i with well filled baskets. The dinner, with Mrs. Dan Klink, ’ Mrs. John McGarity and Mrs. Ed Unrue in charge was soon ready to I ’.serve, which was done in Cafeteriaj ■style. After a few social hours spent j together the crowd left for home, 1 ■ wishing “Aunt Ella” many happy returns of the day. *-■. —J o TO ENTERTAIN CHILDREN Commencing Saturday, Mrs. Walter Ballard will read stories to small children, in the library, from 2 until 3 o’clock. She plans to entertain j youngsters this way every Saturday 1 for several weeks. There is no charge for this entertainment. Some of the | ( stories are original work of Mrs. |* Ballard, and there will be guessing contests for the childen to try to win. i fy BRIDGE PARTY’ Five tables of bridge and one of 500-was in play at the Grand hotel, last Thursday evening. Prize for high score in bridge was given Harry Porter, and for 600 to Miss Nora Schick of Warsaw.

REFORESTATION IS URGED BY LIEBER l .. • COLUMBUS, 0., — Reforesting . waste and idle lands now In economic loss, will do more toward restor- * ing nature’s balance biologically be- ( tween plant and animal species than . any other conservatiion movement, according to Richard Lieber, India- ■ na Department of Conservation I na director. > A paper prepared by Mr. Leiber ■ on “Nature’s Balance,” was read at * the twenty-second annual session cf M The National Drainage, Conservai tion and’ Flood Control Congress, at- * tended by conservationists from i; many parts of the nation. Natural resources stocked the ’ great storehouse from which each’ * civilization slowly and laboriously ‘ drew the necessities of life in man- * i kind's struggles upward. Each gen- ‘ eration’s augmented use marked its ■ advancement along civilization’s ’ highway, Mr. Lieber said. “Two factors are paramount in the rise or fall of public welfare. One is natural resources; the other, the attitude of mankind toward them. “Living, animals and plants sub-’ s milted to supremacy and cultivation under man. ] “The standards of living of each human period and country in the world has always depended upon the natural resources available and the ’ ability of human ingenuity to exI ploit them. In the beginning nature ■ was balanced. Mankind's extravagant use of certain resources and lack 1 of use of others, overthrew this per- ‘ feet balance. “When populations. were sipall and resources so abundant as to appear inexhaustible, no organized es- ! forts were made to conserve natural | wealth. Profligate waste was the Order of the day. A Hterdl example “ is possible by contrasting the Bibical description of the Garden of Eden with Souhtern Asia today. Best au- ‘ thorities assert that all our deserts ‘‘have been man-made." ■j The paper traced earlier civilizations’ use of natural resources down to the period of exploitation and I commercialism, pointing out how the i the forests were literally “mined” ■ t only a few decades ago. When the : ■ forests disappeared from the bill 1 lands, and rains: 11 was unchecked, ; ; then the country experienced this ;■ era of floods; rich soil disappeared i j and lands formerly productive be« r i camo eroded and unfit. si It was pointed out by the Indiana conservationist that it took European nations several hundred years to . learn that decadence proceeded sim- . s ultaneousiy with the .destruction of I ; forests, and that some Asiatic nations, China notably, never learned. So today China’s bleak, barren . wastes can not support that country’s . teeming millions. t Fiance took decades of time, emI ployed prodigious effort and went to [ great expense to reforest the shifting sand dunes along the Gulf of Gascogne and Pas-de-Calais. It took yeais to reforest the highlands in order to stop the torrential erosion and floods whith swept down from the Alps and Pyreness mountains to , destroy the rich agricultural lowlands. While Germany and Austria engaged in land reclama--jtiion, through renewal of national .forests, the newly discovered Ameri ica strove equally as hard to remove the forest cover, the paper said. “The unglaciated hill lands of ’Southern Ohio, Indiana and Illinois ! today stand as a great economic problem in land use. i “Destruction of the hill land forests of Indiana is a romantic story of continental conquest and progress 'of our pioneers. Failure to replenish this great natural resource is a tragedy of modern civilization which will prove increasingly the longer delayed. “For a time these hill lands were farmed, but after a few crops, erosion washed away the rich top soil and the lands were abandoned because they no longer could be farm-; jed profitably. ■’ “Each abandoned farm in the hills | iof Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri shifted a greater ■burden upon farms which remained,J ■ until today one scarcely can picture i the true economic condition of al Harge portion of these states.” j In the last decade Indiana estab- ■ lished five state forests, totaling 24,000 acres, and is endeavoring to' isolve the problem of waste land uti-j iization. These forests serve as labo- ■ 1 calories for building up eroded hill' i lands, determining tree, species best suited for our needs, forest man-1 agement and marketing of forest products, the paper declared. In detail it was pointed out that ■ without trees there can be no sanc-1 tuary for wild life, particularly’ birds, and a world without birds means man’s abdication, in favor of I a wild reign of insects. I ‘ Eighteen thousand species of can not compete successfully against 350,000 species of insects unless birds, intended by nature to maintain a balance, prevail.” o TO MEET MARCH 2. The Junior Ladies of the Round Table will meet Thursday evening, March 2, with Miss Isabel Bouse at the Wawasee Restaurant. 0 .

Mrs. Dan Wolf said Mr. Wolf went out to their barn about 7 that lijorning and discovered a new born calf with its* head white with fiost. Afraid the animal would freeze to death, he called Mrs. Wolf and they carried it into the house and put.it near the stove. It became so frisky in the warmth, that early in the afternoon Mr, Wolf decided if it was going to freeze it would have to freeze, it couldn’t stay there any longer. So he took it back to the barn, where it did not freeze and “is getting along nicely.” A few days later, Chester Stiffler discovered his cow’s new born calf • had frozen ears. But the animal is “doing as well as can be expected,” Farm residents in town Saturday told the Journal staff that Loren Ever is announcing the birth of twin kids last week. He has named these goats Clee and Phyllis. -— o ADDRESSES UNION SERVICE “Bon Dry” Wright of Indiahapolis addressed a good congregation of folks in a Union Service 'in the Church of the Brethren Sunday evening.
