Poet's Corner THE FRINGED GENTIAN Today, out in a marshy vale, I saw a lovely sight. ‘Tis there the fringed gentian grows. All beautiful and bright. There is a charm in gentians fair, The poets join in praise: Their lovely blooms reflect the blue Os mild September days. Reflected in the flowers we see The deep blue lake near by. We see upon the gentian fair The blue, ethereal sky. The fringed gentian is quite rare. They turn their faces up As if to drink the heavenly dew Within each chaliced cup The busy throng will pass them by, They deem it foolishness; I never count it waste of time To view such loveliness. As gentians do th** skies reflect. So may His life divine, In words, and deeds and truthfulness, Reflect His life in mine —H*nry Beer, Milford, Ind. (Editor’s Note: The above poem is from Mr. Beer's published book, “My Garden of Verse.") "AT THE LAKES" All ray life I’ve taken summer vacations "at the lakes." First one spot and then another The accommodations were nearly always th° same, except that in later years there seemed to be a slight improvement, what with city people getting used to “inside plumbing' and all We worked hard all winter, saved dimes and dollars, and when the time for vacation dr *w near, there was a feverish excitement, and a house strewn with last minute odds and ends "Should we take th* percolator?" or “the toaster?" th*’ n«'iil questions. (Before Instant Coffee}. These items of creature comfort, in most cottages, were sometimes of an antique nature, or else missing altogether Finally, after hours of driving on blistering hot highways, through traffic-jammed cities, we’d arrive at our destination — hot, tired and dirty. Through sheer will power and noble effort, we restrained ourselves from snapping at each other Os course, something was always forgotten “Where’s my bathing suit' Did you pack it?” Why, no, I thought that you ” And then there was a cool silence for an hour or so while the job of unpacking and putting awaj was completed But when, next day, the first streaks of dawn tinted the sky, and the cool, moist breeze drifted th» wat*»r; we would push our boat silently away from the dock, and then we could feel the majic begin It. IS majic, you know There are thousands of words that have been written to explain the wonder of being "at the lakes ’*

There will be thousands more. Artists have painted reams of pictures, poets have eulogized the beauty of the water and the sun. songs have been sung of moonlight and love, and sports writers have waxed poetic about favorite fishing waters: yet not one picture, poem or article has been able to capture the complete majic of it. ■ - In all those years of vacationing. it never occurred to us that we could actually LIVE beside a lake. Without thinking, we just attributed it to the lucky few—"the natives." It was just like being born with brown eyes or curly hair — you either had it or you didn’t. Then one day we looked at each other with astonishment — why couldn’t we? So now, we too, are among the lucky ones. It wasn’t easy. The transition from one home to another — changing jobs — leaving family and (riends behind — it gave us at tirties the uncertain feeling that we could be making a mistake. But we know, deep in our hearts, that here is where we belong. Here is beauty and peace and soul-satisfying contentment _ where, every day, we are "at the lakes." — D. D. • ■ ; '■ r; -- --- : Letters from Our Readers J Editor. | Syracuse Wawasee journal In reply to recertt letter dated Sept 21. 1961, by Mrs. Harold Gray, member of the Plan Commission, we have, checked our ni ords and find our figures as previously stated at $1,420 30 to be true and accurate disbursement for Plan Commission 1960. We find receipts of $912, leaving a balance of $508.30. We again ask the Plan Cotnmision mnibers to consider our recommendations. However, in light of the township paying SSOO we would recommend that the adjustment be kept to a minimum Thu committee is going one step further by submitting a recommendation to the town board president, suggesting that each department of the town be reguesteU to approve their expenses. In that manner all members of each department would be aware, of .their current expenses Sincerely, Chester Carpenter .Leonard Nichols Bill Cobum Dwight Swenson Kites are one of the earliest of all toys — they are mentioned in the earliest writings of Asia and Egypt v •

-aaF • It The dean, uncluttered styling of Buick for 1962 is exemplified in the Electra 225 series with its sporty new roofline and its tailored rear decklid with the windsplit down the center. The long, sweeping lines of the front and rear fenders make the car look bigger without increasing its size. The new roofline with its wide, sloping rear pillars identify the Electra 225 series, one of the most luxurious cars in the fine car field. Passenger comfort has been improved for 1962 by the almost complete elimination of the transmission hump in the floor of the front passenger compartment The Electra 225 is powered by a 401 cubic inch V-8 engine with fourbarrel carburetor, coupled with Buick’s smooth Turbine Drive transmission.

Th« true western mustang, as tough as any cowboy, and as rough as the country in which it lives, is a descendant of a few horses left by Cortez and Coronando in the 16th century which, in turn, were descendants of Arabian stock left in Spain during the Mohammedan invasion of 710-715. Bolivia has two capitals. Sucre and LaPaz. Sucre is the highest capital city in the world, 12.000 feet above sea level. LaPaz is a mere 9,700.

PLANT PEONIES IN AUTUMN Autumn represents the, best time to plant peonies since they become well established before winter and will grow vigorously next year. Peonies will bloom in the same location for many years; they need not be .divided every few years as do many other perennial flowers. Planting location is extremely important in successful peony growing. Peonies should be planted where they will receive full sun. Make sure the upper buds or “eyes” of the peonies are not more than two inches below the soil surface. However, the remain 4ng roots should be well under ground Crowding peonies with other plants should be avoided since over-crowding is detrimental to good blooms. A peony plant needs three or four feet of growing diameter. The horticulturists recommend planting the newer varieties. These have longer lasting flowers and a longer blooming period. These newer varieties can be found in nursery catalogs. „

Tjy ; * © THt UP. I *** ROOM HASHVIIIt THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 Read Matthew 23:1—12 We know that all things work together for good to them that love God. to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28.) In my home town in Argentina, we used one of the rooms of an old two-roomed house as a sanctuary for worship. It proved too small for the congregation. We decided to enlarge it by tearing down 0 the partition. There was not enough money to hire men for this job. Therefore, some men of the congregation gave of their time and work to do it. Many of the wome.n did their share by painting the ceiling and walls and cleaning the floor. Thus both men and women took “ part in changing the interior of our place of worship. At the same time we were doing something for our church, we had a chance to get much better acquainted with one another. By this experience we have improved the worshipful atmosphere of our " church and deepened our feeling of brotherhood in Christ PRAYER: Our Father, we thank Thee for every opportunity we have to do something in Thy name. We rejoice in having many and varied ways by which we can express our gratitude for all the 0 blessings we receive from Thee. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Blessed are those who work together for good and to God’s honor and glory. Esther Oss (Argentina)
