FUNDS LEFT FROM i [CELEBRATION USED Committee on Centennial Celebration Votes to Pay Note for Opening Channel - The Centennial Comm.Uee, at a meeting Friday night, decided to use the surplus from the Centennial Celebration fund to pay a note of the Syracuse Chamber of Commerce held by the Trustees of the old State B.nk of Syracuse. The principal of the note amounted to 570.L3 and the interest w»s approximately 3-3.00 The trustees agreed to accept 365, the amount of the surplus, as full payment on the note. The note was incurred when the boat channel between the two lakes was dredged. Since that time the Chamber of Commerce, with tho exception of the last few years, ha* paid something on the note, raising money in various ways.

These wore to donate the surplus to the milk fund, to,erect /ir monument on tho grave qf Sam Crosson, one of the fqtmders of Syracuse, and to pay off the channel note. After some dtocussiph those present voted unanimously to pay the channel note, for by doing this the money would be returned to the community. ; .. ■?

MONEY GIVEN i TO MILK FUND ’ BYREDCROSS I Other Donations Are Being Taken for / Needy Pupils* £ Seth Rowdabaugh, county chair- C man of the Red Cross, met with the 7 C local committee, - Saturday after- S noon, and gave to this committee, 320, the Red Cross’s donation to £ start a milk fund for needy school z* children in Syracuse. 1 The Red Cross* only starts such ( funds in case of emergency, and the > ' community is expected to raise funds ito carry on the work. I Learning of some needy cases, e Friday, Rev. John A. Pettit started . *the “milk fund campaign*. Ralph A Thornburg offered to pay for milk II for those in the Grade School, the \ first week to start it off. That was ' before the Red Cron chairman ■ learned of the immediate need here. Last year, Mrs. Wm. Kindig and t some of the others on the Rod Crees ■ committe from Syracuse had urged ■ that money collected here for annual donation to the Red Cron could wisely be spent here. X Through the efforts of the county chairman, it was made ponible that Red Cross money be spent locally W instead of saved for “National Emergencies”. ' g Entering into the spirit of the com- ' " munity “milk fund project", Jones . offered to furnish, and has been F furnishing since Friday, milk for just the cost of handling it, as hto : donation. * ~ A ' Some of the elube have taken up \ donations of whatever change, mem- J bers had dn haifd at the meeting fl time, and boxes marked “milk fund” have been placed in stores in town, so that any contribution costomers care to make, may be dropped into > these boxes. L I Mrs. Wm. Kindig was made treas--1 urer to receive donated funds, and to pay milk bills. -T i It is feared that there may be J some abuse of this “Christmas Gift" fl to the undernourished children; that some who have the means to feed their children will demand it as k their “right" that they receive free ' milk too, but in the meantime there j are underweight children who must be fed from this milk fund. ® —o —» „ FIRE DESTROYS j BARN AND TRUCK 44 Bushels of Corn Stored in Barn Also Lost by John Paugh; Fire Os Unknown Origin. ’ Just at dark, Tuesday evening, the barn of John Paugh, just off road 6, a short distance east of fl road 13, was burned, as was his u* truck which was housed in the barn.
