The owners, Herb and Sue Loy, hope to be closed by Christmas. Their first store was in their converted garage on Bronson St. in 1962, with five new pianos. Carolyn Davis, wife of John Davis, Grace College president, was their first customer. In October 1971, they moved to their present location, the old Kester's Electric Motor Shop, and added organs, guitars, sheet music and books--even kazoos.

Monday morning, Nov. 25, a Times and Union reporter observed a beautiful cock ringneck pheasant casually strutting down Center Street between Buffalo and Indiana streets. Mr. Pheasant soon had a huge following of pedestrians and businessmen. Suddenly, he took to the air, flying across the street and crashing into a door glass at the Elks' Arcade building. After inquiring of Game Warden Lester Ball on the phone, the reporter took the proud fellow in hand and hauled him out to the western shore of Winona Lake. He was untied and returned to his native haunts.

    Claude A. Mahoney, son of A.A. Mahoney, custodian of the Warsaw Library, is White House correspondent for the Wall Street Journal. He is principal speaker at the Indianapolis Motor Transportation Club dinner Dec. 5.
