TALK OF THE TOWN BY BETTY JOHNSON 773-3385

Now that school is out the vacation race is onl Although it is a bit early for trips to the sea shore and beaches, weather is ideal for those who are now taking sight-seeing trips to such places as the World’s Fair or Washington, D.C. A number of people seem to be taking their vacations early this year and perhaps this is one of the reasons. Nothing exhausts you fast er than traveling and trying to see all the tourist attractions when the weather is hot, hot. hot! Two recent Nappanee High School graduates, who are both planning to become history teachers, arrived home from the senior trip on Thursday and plunged enthusiastically into the task of packing again for more traveling on Friday! The Dick Bests son, Randy, and Bob Best, son of Mrs. Wayne Best, are both Civil War buffs and they have been mapping this tour of the battlefields and historical i areas for some time now. Planning , to camp out most of the time during their trip, the boys packed sleeping bags and equipment for their ten day dream vacation. Richmond, Antietam, Petersburg, Philadelphia. and Washington, D.C. arc only a few of the stop overs they plan to make on this journey into the past. To many people a battlefield means very little, but to those with a good knowledge of history and some imagination it almost seems possible to hear the roar of cannon fire and see the soldiers in blue and grey fighting and falling in the smoke of battle. With their wealth of historical detail these boys should enjoy every min ute of their travels! Several local families enjoyed camp-outs over the Memorial Day weekend. The Robert Arnotts, Dick Bests, Chuck Stumps, and former residents, the Rex Wildmans of Warsaw, packed their provisions, camp equipment, and children into cars and traveled to their favorite camping spot near Tower Hill at Warren Dunes Saturday. The Rev. W’illiam Andersons joined the campers for a Memorial Day outing but did not stay overnight with the others who braved chill air to rook their meals in the open and sleep under the stars. Pokagon State Park near Angola was chosen as the site for a 4e-

morial Day picnic by four more local families. The Jim Stillsons, Richard Arnotts, Tom Wegmillers, and LaMar Clouses got together for a day of food and fun at the park. The Gene Slabaughs of Bloomington arrived in town over the holiday weekend with their three youngsters, Mike, Jackie, and Toni. Gene had to return to his job at I.U. but his family stayed here for a weeks visit with his mother, Mrs. Florence Mattern, and also Mrs. Slabaugh's mother in Syracuse. Three local college girls left Thursday for New Orleans, La. and points' south! Elaine Pippenger, daughter of the Louis Pippengers. Norma Culp, daughter of the La Mar Culps, and Ruth Blevins, daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Blevins, joined another classmate and her mother here from Hawaii on a sight-seeing trip via auto to New Orleans. The girls are scheduled to arrive in Daytona Beach, Fla. by June 3 where they have obtained summer jobs and will be sharing an apartment during their stay with three other college friends. The 6 girls will all be working together at one of the big resort restaurants this summer. Memorial Day arrivals from Ver non, Texas, were met with a warm and enthusiastic welcome at the home of the “Bag" Pippens Saturday. Their daughter and family, the Tom Elliotts and 8-month-old Jennifer, are here for a visit, and local friends and relatives are enjoying a first acquaintance with the Elliott pride and joy their cute blonde, blue-eyed little daughter! Albuquerque, New Mexico, is the destination of the Richard Deardorffs who left Sunday for a ten day vacation in the west. Accoir panying them on the trip are their two sons and also their daughter, Mrs. Carol Stanifer. The Dearoorffs will be visiting relatives in Albuquerque - the Arthur Nickersons, Harold Phillips, and Edgar Miller. The New York World’s Fair will probably continue to draw, more vacationers this summer than am other area attraction in the coun try! Two local families returned home this weekend after a foot sore but fascinating week of seeing the sights of New' York City and especially the Fair. The Lowell Mulletts and their three daughters. Cheryl. Marla, and Sandra, stayed with relatives in New' Providence. N.J. and drove into the. city each day where they parked and took an.express sub-way to the Fair or guided bus tours of the city, As with other Fair-goers they too report the - commercial exhibits were

the most outstanding and therefore the most crow'ded. It would seem the early morning or late evening visitors would have the best chance of getting in without a long'wait! The Bob Callanders and Debbie, Bob. and Susan also were in New York last week on their vacation They met the Mullettg down town one day and all got together for a bus tour of the city Greeenwich Village. Chinatqwn, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Lib erty on Staten Island, and Rockefeller Center. They attended the TV show', “Matchgame” at one of the studios and also enjoyed dining together. Chances of meeting some one from your own home town in New York City seem pretty good this year! Memorial Day supper guests of Mrs. J. C. Bock and her son, Carl, were the Edward Bocks and their children from Middleburv. Sunday the George Bocks came from Columbia City to spend the afternoon in Nappanee, and on Monday evening Mrs. Bock and her son were supper guests of the Buford Rowes vho live near Bremen. Mrs. Bock has not fully recovered yet from the excitement of becoming a great-grandmother for the first time. Someone kept the secret of the baby's arrival very well as the new great-grandmother didn’t know about it until she read it in last week’s Advance-News! TWO local young men went to Indianapolis over the weekend to enlist in the armed forces. They are Roger Holdeman, son of Mrs. Roy Holdeman, and Larry Sheets, son of the Charles Sheets. Weekend guests of the George Parsons were her sister, Mrs. Ruth Denlinger from Dayton, Ohio, and a nephew and his wife, the Arden Denlinger Jrs. of Cincinnati. The latter couple returned to this country only recently after living for two years in Austria where Mr. Denlinge was engaged in helping rehabilitate areas in the eastern part of that country. Saturday and Sunday dinner guests in the Parsons home included the Clayton Stahlys and Mrs. Nettie Lehman. The Charles Lehmans and son, Rob. left over the weekend for a trip east. They were going first to Washington, D.C. to visit Mrs. Lehman's neice and family, the Lao Labras. Senor Labra is an ambas sador from South America stationed in his country's embassy in Washington. From the capitol the Lehmans were driving to New York City to bid their son “bon voyage’ when he sails for Germany on June 5. Rob has a scholarship to study at the University of Berlin and will be abroad for about 15 months. Be-

fore returning home the Lehmans also planned to spend a few days seeing some of the exhibits at the World’s Fair. Telephone calls have been a bit slow the last few weeks. May I have your help in keeping up w'ith activities around our town?
