SYRACUSE PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC., PUBLISHERS F. Allan Weatherholt, Editor THURSDAY, JULY >l, 1936 THE LAKE MARDI GRAS During recent days, plans have begun taking form for another vast community festivity, the Lake Mardi Gras and Fall Festival. Numerous business and professional leaders are uniting in n effort to give to Syracuse and Lake Wawasee community, of the most novel and unusual community festival’s and ever attempted here, or on any Indiana lake. Situated as we are, at the gateway of Northern Indiana’s Vacation Country, it sems fitting that Syracuse should lead the way in sponsoring a Lake Mardi Gras. The affair will be as big and as successful and as entertaining as the individual members of the Chamber of Commerce and other citizens and residents care to make it. Like all good things, we shall realize from it, in proportion to what we put into it. You will be called upon to take some part, to participate in some activity, and to share some of the effort. You will enjoy your experience if you cooperate, and your help is needed by your neighbor. This affair is a community project, and there is work for all. The thought might occur, “What good is such an occasion, anyway’’. The answer is obvious. From such an affair, there is countless publicity as a result, that helps to advertise and publicize in a constructive manner, our vacation coutry. Then too, there is the need for good entertainment here. Our guests and summer residents are entitled to new entertainment and pleasures, in addition to that afforded by our vacation country. Each of us will the affair, and will experience a new joy, at the interest that can be built around such an event. Committees are busy, plans are being made, ideas are coming in, and the Fall Festival and Lake Mardi Gras is practically assured. Let’s go along w’ith this project, and make it not only an event this season, but an annual occasion that is worthy of Syracuse and LakeWawasee, and one that we can be proud of.

FIGHTING FIRE ON ALL FRONTS The principal work of the fire insurance industry is to protect indivduals and businesses against ruin in case a fire strikes property. So important is this work that the industry is called •the mainstay of credit.” > Also important to the public, and much less known than it should be, is the industry's work in seeking to prevent fire. The stock fire insurance companies working through their tentral organization, the National Board of Fire Underwriters, carry on an unremitting war against the “red menace.” Every possible weapon is used in this war. The National Board writes and publishes invaluable booklets discussing the hazards common to various industries, and tells how they may be eliminated minimized. It publshee forms whereby a home-owner or industurial executive can go over his place or residence or factory' and find out just how well protected it is against the chance of fire. It has created a model building cpde which has been adopted by many communities of alt sizes, * and • which prevents the erection of structures which are functionally dangerous in the matter of fire hazards. It has also prepared a model arson law which has been a splendid ally in punishing and discouraging the worst of criminals, the fire-bug. It maintains a testing laboratory, where all manner of machines, household devices and building materials are tested and, if found safe from fire, are given a certificate of approval. Some of the most ghastly fires in American history have occurred in

> THINGS ONE REMEMBERS rphe names of certain cities are - household words around the world — i New York, London, San Francisco, > Paris, Shanghai. To millions of peo- . pie they are synonymous with the f names of the countries in which they are located. No world port, however, has ever I seen so radical a geographical change in its harbor as San Francisco. From »■ the Mark Hopkins hotel, that favorite observation point in the City of , Seven Hills, one now looks down . over San Francisco Bay and sees the ’ two greatest traffic bridges in the . world across a harbor in which the battleship fleets of several nations could anchor without disturbing [ commercial traffic. If the Empire state building hid been erected in the middle of New York harbor the change would not have been as startling. If a subterranean upheaval had raised an island in the middle of San . Francisco Bay it would not have I caused as marked a change in the landscape as have the activities of man in three short years. The San Francisco bridges add new , pinnacles to a harbor whose city is noted for the seven hills on which it is built. New world land marfs have been created. ■ 1 , schools. The stock companies are ceaselessly working to teach public officials how our places of larning ! may be protected from fire. Every citizen of this country benefits from that work, directly and in- • directly. Our annual fire loss is still ’ too great—but these activities have prevented it from attaining vast i j heights. And, most important by far iI they have saved thousands of lives.

On The Hill ] By UNCLE LEW. . || Wyland Mills In the last article it was stated that i Wyland’s had a large house on their ! farm. In this house a very large up- . , per room was used for religious meet- . ings. Elizabeth wife of Jonathan Wy- ! ■ land died in the year 1858. Mr. Wy- | land died six years later, at which i time the mills came'into the posses, son of Mr. Bainter, for whom they were then named. The small ! village surrounding the mills was caled Bainter Town. Jim Dick came to Bainter Town l and buit a store room about 100 feet south of the flour mill. He filled this , I room with a stock of general mer. i chandise. At one time Bainter Town had three mills, two stores, a knit-- ■ ting factory, and a blacksmith shop. | The writer has often seen the fire! glow on the forge, heard the bellows 1 roar and the anvil ring in the old brick house still standing near where j the saw mill once stood. After Mr. ! Dick operated the the general store for sometime, he was elected Jackson Township trustee. One evening the store somehow became ignited ( and the entire township books were reduced to ashes, as was the store. Near the village of Bainter Town is a cemetery. This is one of the oldest cemeteries in the county. Mrs. Leah Beck was buried in this cemetery in 1839. As you enter the cemetery you will notice the marker of Eliza Ann Neff, aged five, which has stood for over 80 years. Next one notices the markers of two pioneers of New Paris,. James Mathews and Peter ( Deardorff. The mother of Otis C. Butt, who is also deceased, rests in this cemetery. Scattered here and there are graves of Anna Neff, died I in 1862; Sarah Lesslie, aged 31; Jerimiah Stilwell, died in 1853; Martin Keshner and Barbara, his wife, lie near the parents of Otha Warstler,
