Spurgeon 1 Editor Editorial For Safer Boating . . . Indiana’s boating law, passed in 1951 by the General Assembly and published this week in The Journal, may be adequate for the operation of some boats on some state lakes but seems lacking in other aspects. For one thing, the law contains no safety provisions. There is no , clause which states that motorboats must carry fire extinguishers. There is no clause which states that a certain number of life preservers, or any at all. must be carried. There is no clause which prohibits over loading of boats. Yet. the United States Coast Guard thinks these important provisions for safe boating. Yet. each year, there are several boat fires on Indiana lakes and rivers. Yet. each year, people drown after being thrown from boats capsized because they were overloaded by people who did not *"know what they were doing. Common sense is fine in boat- 1 ing and prohibits many such accidents. But certain regulations would klso seem necessary for safety where common sense fails or refuses to function. We understand that the Indiana Marine Chamber of Commerce is preparing a new act for the consideration of the 1957 Indiana General Assembly to give the state of Indiana an adequate and sensible boating law. The pro isions we have outlire uuo.c’ should certainly receive coi. r ::on for incorporation i-.to mat law.

In The Northeast Qorner By Bill Spurgeon

Is Ligonier going to lose its motion picture theatre? A recent issue of Boxoffice, magazine of the motion picture exhibitor, tells that'a representative of the Chamber of Commerce over there has written a theatre organization in Indianapolis asking how “to keep a theatre in Ligonier.” We certainly hope that the Crystal is not planning its "swan song" sometime in the near future. Ligonier’s theatre, incidentally, has always been sort of an interesting place to us. One of the reasons for this is its size. The theatre over there is 11 seats wide, with an aisle t down the center, and some forty or so rows long. This gives sort of a “bowling alley" effect, and it takes a while to get used to it. Nevertheless, the screen and sound qualities are unusually good throughout the place, and we have seen many an enjoyable film there. Os course, theatre owner* in smaller towns, especially if the theatre is privately owned and operated, seem to find themselves in the comer quite a bit these days. Good films cost money. and television provides much competition. Combined, this is likely to mean, that people will often neglect an expensive film to stay at home ( more comfortable not to move, you see) and watch television. Result? A loss in enjoyment for the prospective patron, in revenue for the theatre operator. A pattern like this, once started, is likely to be deadly to a community as far as having a theatre for motion pictures is concerned. Very often you read in the papers of firemen running off to a fire without the hose, or some such thing, but have you ever heard of a water skier going to an exhibition without his skis? According to Bob Williams, who narrates the spectacles put on by local skiers in front of the South Shore Inn each Saturday night, this happened here. Bob Brown, from Lake Tippecanoe, was supposed to appear in a show here last Saturday night but got to thinking about something he was supposed to do on Sunday. Turned out that he showed up Saturday in person-but with no skus. What'd he do? Why. he borrowed some skiis from someone else., but he wasn't too much at home in them. But anyhow, he did get in the show. Ever seen W. E. Long’s Chinese Gardens at night, when the lights are on? Quite a beautiful sight, we must say. particularly if you take the time to go over on the Pickwick Park side of said gardens for a look. Which reminds us, incidentaly. that there are a great many spots around these parts whose natural beauty is well worth noting. Flower gardens in town and lake as well as country are attractive, asare many of the more “formal" gardens around Wawasee and Syracuse Lakes. Propertyowners in the area seem to be taking more pride in their homes and gardens each year, and as gardening becomes more "scientific." we seem to get prettier places. Hope this trend continues !forever! You just can’t convince some drivers that they are supposed to get out of the way for emergency vehicles. Going to fires is part of our job. %nd we are just scared stiff at the number of drivers who refuse to get out of the way for fire trucks and such. State law says that all drivers must pull over and stop immediately upon hearing a siren and stay stopped until positive that the way is clear. We’ve seen several more bullheaded, souls who almost hkd to be shoved out of the way recently to make way for the fire department. Will bet that these are the same people who would complain loudest if the firemen took three seconds longer than they thought necessary if anything THEY owned were on fire! Often people in a community such as this seem to reach sort of a combination of boredom and morbidness, so that when something disastrous happens, they | are the first to arrive and the ! last to help out. They park their jears in the road in the way of j fire equipment, or they crowd so close around a person pulled from water that he couldn’t possibly breathe. People, they say. are funny. Maybe so. But they certainly are their own worst enemies. We found the Three Lights! An anonymous postal card from Manon. Indiana tells us that "when Brunjes first opened the | Tavern t Hotel», people on the i North Side of Wawasee often ‘ referred to it as the “Three

Lights,” due to the way their lights were arranged.” Our correspondent adds that “it was known as this for many years thereafter. So, with assistance from an unknown source, the mystery of the three lights is solved. Ever listen to the radio? Over the weekend? Well, in case you do, the National Broadcasting Company has inaugurated a program /tailed “Monitor.” It apparently lasts all weekend, though we have not thus far had the perserverance to listen to the whole thing. “Monitor” operates on the premise that no one will want to do just that, but that people tune “in” and “out” at various times. Well, this is just fine, it would seem, but it gripes us to have them start to play some real pleasant music and then tune it “out” before it is over to give a weather report. We feel N. B. C. has sacrificed one extreme for another. And while on our pet project of “listenable” contemporary music, we will add that two of the more pleasant pieces we have come across lately are “The Kentuckian” song, quite apparently from a movie, and the “theme" from "Medic," which also goes by the name of "Blue Star." The latter is on the local, coin machines, the former is not. Both are good.

Representatives . . . Cont. from Page One quate to cope with arty high water emergency which might come up. Local Control “Desirable” When asked about the possibility of the state taking over the ownership and maintenance of the dam. Town. Wawasee, and Chamber directors all expressed general agreement that local control as such was best and that the best interest of all parties concerned would be served with continued local control. Irvin J. Cooper of the Wawasee group suggested that some outside firm be contracted with the possible idea of surveying the whole Syracuse-Wawasee area with regard to better utilization of water resources. The three organizations represented admitted that such a survey would have definite long-range advantages. To Store Water Discussion also came up during the meeting over the rumor that the state of Indiana was buying Jand in the Hoss Hill area south and east of here with the intention of impounding water there during wet seasons to suport the lakes during the low 7 water periods. Several present said they had Ifeard such \ rumor and that such a move would probably be the only successful answer to the low-water problem. Directors of the Wawasee Property Owners association also announced their intention of asking for the establishment of a county-wide planning board with provision for zoning of the entire county. Town and Chamber of Commerce officials both expressing interest in the project and said that such a program would be supported by them. Attending the meeting Friday were Town Board members Ray R. Frevert, J. B. Cox. and Harry Nicolai: Hubert Anglemyer, Clem Lisor. Ross Osborne. Ralph Oyler, Roscoe Howard. Dick Denzel, and Kenneth Harkless from the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber pf Commerce: Town Attorney R. Leon Connolly; and Jack Vanderford, C. M. Jessup. Paul O.
