SYRACUSE PUBLISHING COMPANY, INC., PUBLISHERS F. Allan Weatherholt, Editor Thursday, August 20, 1936 GETTING THINGS DONE If history repeats itself, the summer season will soon be over, and a large number of idle people in our community will start looking forward to next season, so they can return to work, and even hope for something to do. But not so with the building trades. In this issue of the Journal there is a full page advertisement, calling attention to the potential builder, that there are a large number of men in every phase of home building and modernization who are willing to work during the fall and winter months as well as in the summer. Too often the criticism has been heard, that it is impossible to get anything done in Syracuse in the summer time. In a measure this is perhaps true. But too often, the vacationer is as much to blame as local people. Each season, beginning about April or May first, there is a sudden influx of vacationers and summer residents. The majority of these are property owners or people who are planning to build or remodel cottages. The demand begins for skilled and competent workmen to do these tasks. In a very short time every carpenter, contractor, painter, plasterer or tradesman is so busy, he has more than can be done. Then the cry is raised, “you can’t get anything done in Syracuse.” But with a little cooperation the story can be much different next season. Those who are advertising their willingness to be of service during the winter and fall seasons as well as during the summer, should be considered seriously by vacationers and others who intend to build or improve their properties. Now is the time to have the work started. To you Mr. Vacationer, we respectfully urge that you have some of this work done this fall and winter, so the newcomers next summer can be served much more efficiently. Give these tradesmen a fair chance to do a good job and you will find that you CAN GET THINGS DONE IN SYRACUSE. Will you cooperate?

side of the road will be lowered four feet and the low ground will then be filled three feet. When the road is completed the road will be grave' *d and then blacktopped. The estimate cost of grading and graveling is $4,000. Road men say this work is being done for less money per yard by hand than contract work by machine could do it. Why not scrap the Barba Grtens and road machinery. The Ford automobile when made by hand sold in 1914 to 1916 for $275.00 to S3OO. Now the same automobile, since produced by machinery, sells at a cost of $500.00 to S7OO. Now, if this work can all be done cheaper by hand than by machinery why not scrap all our factoiy n.rchinery and again do the work by hand and give every person work, and do away with this depression?

We have constructed a Model Farm Home which I take great personal pride in. Many model homes have been built and placed on display, but this is the first time I have heard of a model FARM home. It will be completely furnished with the latest in interior decorations and will incorporate many new features. Those who are planning on coming to our state fair, this year must see this home. It’s located near the Educational and Conservation Exhibits. “Every citizen of Indiana should make an effort to attend the Indiana State Fair at least two or three days. He will see just what a grand old state Hoosierdom is.” Salem Church held a picnic at Redman’s Park, Sunday. The Smith reunion was held at Musquabuck Park, Dewart Lake, Sunday.

“Show of the Century” Grandstand Attraction Al Indiana State Fair Elaborate Stage Show and Revue To Be Presented Nightly Grandstand crowds at the Indiana State Fair are going to see one of the finest and most elaborately staged musical shows ever to appear out-of-doors during Fair'week, September sth to 11th. The extravaganza known as “The Show Os The Century” is the newest venture of theatrical producers to bring grandstand entertainment up to the standard set in the nation’s leading theatres. The show will feature many exclusive acts including Lottie Maker’s “Disappearing Wat er Ballet” in which beautifully gowned girls parade to a specially constructed tank of water and disappear beneath its surface before the eyes of the audience. Almost before the last girl sinks gracefully into the water, the first ones start emerging from the tank dressed in entirely different costumes. Other feature acts of the 1936 grandstand show include Naida & Peres, two talented artists specializing in shoulder-perch balancing, Taraifm, the human ape, the Four Lorenzos who do breath taking acrobatics at a height of 110 feet, the “Russian Fantasy”, a gorgeous revue, and a musical comedy company second to none in the United- States in addition to other specialty acts.
