WAWASEE LAKE _1 JOHNSON’S BAY — The Floyd F. Ashton’s were hosts recently to the Ray Mossberger’s of Greenfield, the Paul Ashton’s of Venedocia, Ohio, and the Ray Ashtons of Indianapolis. The Floyd Ashtons must have astounded their neighbors, the day they trucked some “pieces’ ’of their house from Indianapolis to Wawasee, for they brought all their windows, finished with logs on the sides, their doors, also, all outside logs cut to length and one coat of shellac on them. All this work had been done in the basement of their Indianapolis home, and, contrary to the old story about building a boat; not being able to get it out, it was an easy matter to get their “house” out of the basement*. The large cement floor had already been laid on their lake lot, sometime before, and the Ashtons had their beautiful log house .up very soon. The fireplace of Bedford stone, with a Heatalator was done later by an expert of such things. The home is lined with knotty pine, has ample bedrooms and living quarters—the dining table and benches made of white pine, the benches covered with red platsic leather. Two large picture windows face the lake, framing the view with red plastic drapes, the red plastic used throughout for windows, and as pleated frills around mirrors and door windows. Handsome squares of asphalt tile, cover the cement floor, making for softer footing and warmth also. The Ashtons keep the floor well-waxed, thus preserving its beauty and usefulness. KALE ISLAND — All the way from Nattie Crow Beach came the John Harts and Bernard in a speedboat full of children, to the A. & W, Drive-In for sandwiches and root beer. John, a Chicagoan says the lake level should be kept as it is now so folks may get through the channel without danger to propellers, and that when the level is too low, it keeps Wawasee folk from coming to the Syracuse side for sight-seeing and to the business places. HUNNICUTT’S AMUSEMENT PARK — On a rainy day, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Haas, daughter, Mrs. Maxine Busby and sons, Frederick and Royce, brave the weather for a picnic lunch in the park. They had left home, about seven a. m., from Lapel, Ind., near Anderson, headed for Wawasee come “heck or high water”, and had a very nice day, after all.'* CEDAR POINT — The Earl Diffendorfers have been “Wawa-see-ans” for fifty years. They go to Florida in the winters. An idea on a scarcity of fish at times, might “be that power boats chase fish from their spawning places to deep water, as the back wash of the boats cuts a furrow one foot deep.” RANCH HOUSE ROAD — Ross Greenawalt is traveling the States for the Schult trailer of Elkhart. STATE FISH HATCHERIES — The Show Tanks holding various kinds of fish always have their “public”. Sixty-five hunderd people were visitors there, over the Fourth. A seventeen pound turtle is a lot of turtle, which is mostly quiet, but insides the,, Hatchery building it was somewhat annoyed at a broom handle, near him, and “mangled” a portion of it. Many varied shades and markings of beautiful gold fish are an interesting contrast to the tank of turles. Graf’s Bait Barn is showing some useful and pretty “hurricane lamps, candles of red in metal holder and glass lampshades, also Chinese sun hats —and some clever handles on “long long” pencils. BAY SHORE BEACH — The Rodney C. Foulkes, from Elwood, are enjoying their beautiful log house again this summer. Recent guests of the Foulke s were Mrs. Viola Adams and Miss Esta Filley, of Elwood, and Miss Kathryn Adams and Miss Marjorie Adams, Methodist Hospital technicians from Indianapolis. Last week-end guests were Rev. Ray J. Walther, and son Jay, and new baby girl Wendy, born July 4th. IDEAL’ BEACH — The C. A. Fergusons have the biggest—prettiest—Cleverist “little” cottage, seen in a long while. The place also has a simple but useful device that permits heavy rainfalls to “melt” quickly, enroute to the lake. Guests of the Fergusons, Mrs. Bill Robbins, Marcia Ann, and Peggy Jean, returned Sundaj to Indianapolis after their visit here. WAVELAND BEACH — Mr. and Mrs. Carl Enz, of South Whitley, have their trailer on the Flickinger grounds, for the season Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Spang, and family of Chicago, have the large cottage. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dowd, eight children and a maid had the cottage recently. Mrs. Harry Flickinger should “go down in history’ ’as one person who has not raised her longtime rate of twenty-five cents to “park . your car use of the picnic tables — grounds and Flickinger Beach; all for 25c. Mrs. Tom Wood and two sons, of Washington, D. C„ are here visiting her parents, Mr. and ' Mrs. James Mick.

Poultry Raisers Will Compete For $7,550 Cash Premiums Indianapolis, Ind., July 16. — The poultry producers of Indiana, the nation’s seventh-ranking state in the production of commercial broilers, will compete for $7,550 in cash premiums at the 1951 Indiana State.
