the house, runnin upstream several miles. Three miles of grav roads 'were built. 1,500 trees and shrubs planted wells drilled, electric wire strung, and a bathhouse, boathouse, case, tennis basketball and horseshoe courts equipped. Thus a full fledged summer re sort sprang into being. Last season cottages were built at Riverwood by persons from Anderson, Elwood, Lapel. Jndi anapolis, Muneie, Nobles ville. Tipton and other towns. The fishing has t>een especiajly attractive Since the dam was built, nearly 100.000 large and small mouth bass, blue gills and croppies have been planted. The Vo: lagers have the use of ah he river frontage and

the parks containing the vaii-us courts. The children are taken care of in two little parks equipped with playground apparatus and a wading pool. Housekeeping i- made easy with daily delivery of groceries, ice, milk, eggs and vegetables.
