SCENIC BEAUTY OF STATE PRESERVED BY RESERVE ACT Turkey Run Reflects Character of Indiana Territory Days. Endowed with great stretches of primeval forests only a few decades ago, Indiana has been forced to observe the major portion of this primitive beauty vanish before the axe of civilization and commercialism. While neighboring States took cognizance of the rapid disappearance of their native woodlands, Indiana remained loath to preserve her natural heritage until 1916. It was in this year, the State’s centennial, that concerted action came into play and a definite move was made to forestall the destruction of her diminishing reserves. Virgin Wilderness Following long litigation the State came into possession of Turkey Run State Park, a 750-acre reserve of heavily-wooded territory which is generally acknowledged to reflect truly the characteritsics of Indiana in her territorial days. To this original tract, additions have been made, bringing its size to approximately 1,000 acres. Turkey Run, the most extensively developed of the chain of six State parks, lies in northern Parke County, sixty-three miles from Indianapolis. Through its confines flow the waters of Turkey Run Creek and Sugar Creek, joining at a point near the modern hotel erected recently to accommodate vistors. Two hundred and eighty acres of the reservation represent a virgin wilderness, hiding beneath its foliage great rocky canyons, carpeted with ferns, luxuriant grasses and rare mosses and lichens. Vegetation Rare Practically every variety of wild fowl native to Indiana is to be found in Turkey Run. Similarly, the rarest of vegetation is couched beneath the protecting limbs of giant trees of ail varieties. Little wonder that naturalists from far and wide are' attracted to the spot. It is no unusual thing for a college class in natural sciences to spend several weeks at Turkey Run, so complete is

Sailing Comes Back as Major Sport at Indiana Lake Resorts

Sailing is coming back in Indiana. Twenty years ago Hoosier lakes were dotted every breezy day with flying white canvass craft, their lee rails flecked with the spray and foam of scudding water. Weekly regattas at Maxinkuckee and Wawassee during the summer months received big space in the newspapers and sailing championship trophies of the old days are among the highly prized trophies of many old-timers. Then came the motor car, and in the first wild burst of joy riding the water was deserted for the buzzbuggies. In a few years cat boats, sloops, knockabouts, sand baggers, pumpkin seeds and Wisconsin racers were almost extinct. Only a few of the veterans stuck to the old game, preferring the thrill of battling out a smashing squall in clean air and water to the drudgery of changing a tire on a dusty road. But now the pendulum is swinging back. The motor car has become a conveyance, and the latent sailing instinct of the Hoosier, dating back to the long gone centuries when Viking forefathers swept out of the North in the long boats and the reservation in its offerings to the naturalist. Annually, in the neighborhood of 100,000 persons visit Turkey Run, attesting to its popularity with the general public. Due to its easy accessibility to all parts of the State, Turkey Run Park stands pre-emi-nent throughout the Middle West.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Araby, the Second

spread terror from North America to Sicily, is reasserting Itself. Every year the fleets are increasing steadily on Indiana lakes, the youngsters are trying to learn anew the sai.ing crafts their fathers knew half a generation ago. Two of the finest, fastest and most modern boats are owned by Eli Lilly at Wawassee and Ed Culver at Lake Maxinkuckee. Among those not lured away by the gasoline fumes are Charles Schaf of Indianapolis, whose Glyndwyr was a famous champion of Wisconsin lakes fifteen years ago and still is fast enough to take care of itself in any company, and Blythe and Thomas Hendricks, also of Indianapolis. With Bob Wolf of Columbus, Ohio, the Hendricks brothers own the Araby, the Second, at Lake Maxinkuckee, which probably compiles more mileage during a season than any other Hoosier sailing craft.
