LIME: Historic Hoosier Mineral Industry Burned lime (slack lime) has been produced in Indiana ^ince before 1830. Pioneer settlers fired the stone on log heaps and in small kilns to make lime for mortar and plaster and for "sweetening" their fields. Larger commercial kilns were built starting about 1850, and the iime industry flourished in many parts of the state until the depression of the 1930’5. In recent years, out-of-state stone has been used at Gary to produce large

the years are still tn use and will be moved to the new building. Thus, the Lions Clubs of Indiana to date have been re. sponsible for raising more than one and a quarter mil Lon dol. lars for cancer treatment equipment at the Medical .Center. But this is not the end. Already Lions are working on an additional $140,000 for a Simulator to go with the 40-MEV ac. celerator, an instrument that will make it possible to pinpoint exact treatment plans on the big machine. It will be around two months before the machine will be in operation. - MSG — Sarah Vaughn will be appearing at the Bridge-Vu Theatre in Valparaiso from August 6 thru 11. — MSG — Vacations are easy to plan: the boss tells you when and the w.fe tells you where! - MSG — ENTERTAIN M ENT AT LAPORTE COUNTY FAIR With a “new fair week" planned by Lu Porte County Fair of. ficials this year, grandstand en. tertainment has been reorganized for the 1974 offering, according t । Fa r Secretary Robert Morse.

A MINI VACATION Recalling the entertainments of yesteryear, the Old-T ime Summer Festival at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. Michigan brings to life the special atmosphere of seasons past. From July through Labor Day. visitors are treated to the sights and sounds of bygone summers. Along the Village streets, the clip-clop of horses hooves keeps rhythm with the smooth putter of a Model T. On a nearby lagoon, the stern-wheeler steamboat “Suwanee" toots gaily as a century-old steam locomotive chugs past. Meanwhile, throughout the Village, the Greenfield Village Players add an extra dimension to summer by re-creating scenes out of the past. From the Town Hall on the Village green come the sounds of p.ano music and laughter. Here, the Players present “Town Hall Variety." a compilation of songs and comic sketches from the ixxO’s to 1920’s performed in the manner of the period. The talented troupe duplicates those traveling shows which, for many years, furnished rural areas with the only professional entertain, ment they knew. On a nearby comer in the shadow of the court house where he once practiced law as a c.reuit. nd.ng lawyer in I’l.nois, Abia, ham Lincoln gives h> views as

part of a re-enactment of the fa. mous Ixsß debates with Stephen Douglas in a campaign for the Senate. Down the road, the clock is turned back to 1770.

Strolling mmstrdi' roam the Village streets to the strains of old-time ballads and authentic American folk tunes. From time to time, they gather a crowd at "Doc" Bryson > wagon for the Medicine Show. From the rear of Lne ga.ly pamted wagon, the "doc' 1 extolls the virtues of his amazing cure-all Wizard Oil with the help of an enterpri.--.nig crew of charietans. On a hillside near Suwanee Park, the Players present a courtroom comedy skit from the 1880’s. Titled “The Trial." the presentation depicts a young lady who is suing a prospective employer for refusing her a joe on the grounds that women cannot han. die new.fangiea machines like typewriters The spectators act as jury and the skit’s ending dr. pends on their verdict Nearbv, minstrels perform “Songs from Spoon River on a Victorian bandstand in Suwanee Pa:k. Up the hill from the Suwanee lagoon, near the Luther Bur. bank Birthplace, one of the most popular Fest.val activities takes place.

In the summer of 1976, the world’s finest athletes will gather in Montreal ar.d Kingston. Ontario to partici* p<le in the XXI Olympiad — Canada's first Olympic Games. The cost of the event will run to some S3lO-nullion. "Nonnall^-, as in past Games, the government and citizens of the host country’ would have to foot the bill, but Canada has come up with a unique plan to put the Games on a self-financtng basis. Not only will the plan pay for the 1976 Summer Olympics, but Canada sets its funding initiative as a model in selffinancing for rhe smaller r.auons of the world. * Under -the "Canadian Olt-mpic Coin Program," sperfally-riEnteH siher oms are being sold worldwide and will generate about x > per cent 11 the fundr necessary t > pay Canada’s Olympic bill. '1 lie remainder will come focn Fjx'cial stamp issues and a national lottery. A percentage of the face Value of the coins sold in each country will Im- placet! in trust for use by its own Olympic teams. In the U.S., this could mean about 30 per cent of v.haL it will take to send our team to Montreal. The first of seven series of toms to be iwued over the next two years has alraady sold out in Canada and Japan. and is expected to do the same in the U.S. in addition to minted in limited quantities, the coins are restricted in available quantity in each geographic regwn. Canada will receive about 40 per cent of each series; the V S. will get about 25 per cent as will Europe and 10 per cent is earmarked fur the Far East. blach series consists of four coins (two with a $5 face value and two with a $lO lace value) each aim a unique

Every series in special packaging and all 28 individual coms will be available throughout the U.S. from selected banks, and other financial institutions, coin dealers and via mail. Tha coins are legal tender in Canada and mark the first time the country has struck silver coinage in this denomination. Andre Ouellet. Postmaster General of Canada, the government official responsible iwW for the coin program, sums up the importance of the . funding effort this way; “Canada's initiative m financing the 1976 Summer Oiympici ia crucially important to the entire concept . . . raatnetions because of finane* ing are contrary to the basic Olympic tradition of opportunity for all ... by traditioa the Olympics belong to all of us as individual world citizens — as surely as they test tha prowess of the individual athlete."
