LABOR Day . . . END OF SUMMER Monday, September 4is Labor Day. This is a well known fact to everyone, but we wonder a little if maybe this holiday, the unofficial end of summer, is reallv a holiday for the laborers or just a holiday from work and the normal realm of life that wraps up the summer and vacation season. The name Labor Day was given for a definate purpose, but with our speeded up ways ot living and our changing life style over the years, the day is not reallv set aside that much to honor the laborer. Memorial Day signals the unofficial start of summer, many schools let out by that time and the rest within a week or so. Labor Day ends this summer season regardless of what the calendar says as the schools, both secondary and higher education institutions, will be in full force and once again the family life returns more to normal. The bad part of Labor Day is the thought that accompanies it. The weather is slow ly going to remind us more of the coming season ahead. Despite the fact that no season is more beautiful than a pleasant fall, this season will not last very long and we will constantly be reminded that old man winter is just around the corner. The remembering of the harsh winters of the two years past w ill definately pop into all our minds in this area. This holiday marks the end of the summer season that we all love and go through in a more relaxed and easy-going matter. It is the end of a season that most in Indiana hate to see come, but never-the-less, the time is here again. A NICE GESTURE After attending the John Glenn High School football home opener last Friday night at the high school field, an idea for a very nice gesture comes to mind . . . this by the Town of Walkerton. it is not known whether any communication between the schools and the town has been attempted in the matter of spraying the football field for mosquitos, but if it has or has not. it would be a nice gesture by the town to do this. Last Friday night \vas really bad. The mosquitos outnumber the fans thousands to one and really made the hot and humid night all the more uncomfortable as they were out in force and forcing themselves on those in attendance at the game. At no other time the remainder of this summer and fall will this many people be gathered together outside as is the case at the home football games. Despite the fact this might not fall under the town s responsibility, it certainly would be a nice thing and would be appreciated by all the faithful John Glenn fans and guests that will be present this Friday and on future Friday nights. Just one pass around the track around the field would have to help tremendously and it a complete job cannot be arranged bv that time, any help would be appreciated. This certainly isn’t asking too much from the tow n w ho we are certain would oblige in this matter. We hope the Lown of Walkerton will consider it. if the school asks for this or not'. Thanks!

We have fully renovated, expanded and remodeled half of our state park inns, which now are high-quality facilities attracting Hoosiers by the thousands Restoring the grandeur of our state park system was one of the objectives I set forth at the start of my term as governor These and other improvements represent a partial fulfillment of that goal Our program is by no means complete and we intend to maintain a momentum of upgrading and expansion m a manner that is consistent with wise use and preservation of our unique natural resources
