Voyageur youths and parents hold reunion

A large number of boys from Camp Voyageur sat with their eyes on A1 Fasola and Trent Detamore as they raced up and down the DePauw University football field. The players were counselors for the campers during the past summer. A large number of parents came from Cincinnati, O., Monmouth, ni., and even La —Bishop over a huge medical form. Tests are evaluated against other tests. The electro-cardiogram is matched, like a section of the Rocky Mountains, against the EKG of last year. The peaks, valleys, and arroyos are in agreement. He has some tests which are not amusing, like: “Bend over this table as though you were trying to find something on the floor on the opposite side.” For a time, I was full of liquid chalk. When it was all over, he suggested that I cut my weight (5 ft. 7 1/2 inches, 174 pounds) and the cigarettes, which only amount to one a day all day long. This advice I could have received from my laughing wife — free. Everything else, he said, was within “tolerance,” He placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled. “You’re good for another year — I think.” I left him, a healthy wreck. . .

Crosse, Wis. The usual group representing Indiana and the many Indiana towns who send boys to Voyageur attended the Saturday football game. After the football game the group went to the Charles Erdmann residence, on HighteJl Avenue, where an open house was held. Another year of canoeing and fishing was planned. Voyageur has been operated for 17 summers by Charles Erdmann, DePauw University swimming and soccer coach. Located near Ely, Minnesota, near the National Superior Forest wilderness area, the camp specializes in canoe trips and water sports of all kinds. Among those who traveled to Voyageur this summer were: Gary Lem mink, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Lemmink, Jay Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Moore, James Lett, son of Dr. and Mrs. James Lett, and Matt Foxen, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Foxen. Also attending from Reelsville were Lonnie and Richard Hassler, sons of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hassler. On the counseling staff were: Mr. David Casey, fifth grade teacher at Northeast School and DePauw students: A1 Fasola, Trent Detamore, Robert Wright, John Blanchard, John Smith, Jefferson Scott, and Indiana student, Tom Yoder, also known in this community.

GET MONEY S WORTH Expert lips Help When Buying Rugs

NEW YORK (UPD—Underfoot on the homefront the trend is to carpets backed with sponge rubber, latex foam rubber, or plastic foam. The reasons: people like the cushioned feel of foam-backed carpets and the convenience of not having to cope with separate felt pad underlays. But with these foam-backed carpets and area rugs the underside is especially important. The International Institute of Synthetic Rubber Producers Inc. (IISRP) offers the following guidelines for buying foam-backed carpets or rugs: —Find out what the backing is made of. If the carpet tags or labels don’t tell you, ask the salesman. The highest quality

backing is either sponge rubber or latex foam rubber. About 90 per cent of all foam carpet-backing today Is either sponge or foam rubber, the remainder being plastic foams. Some plastic foams mainly the “urethane” type, do not hold up well under heavy traffic, the IISRP said. Sharp heels often pierce the backing. —Look closely at the backing. It should be at least threesixteenths of an inch thick, preferably one-fourth of an inch. Make sure the tiny foam cells are of fairly uniform size. —Feel the backing. A good foam backing will help keep the carpet rigid; it won’t hang limply.

September ends at midnight tonight, the toll for the month stood at 113, and therein lay the story of how the current count was lowered from last year. In 1967, there were 157 fatalities in September and in 1966 there

were 136.

WEATHER AND WHETHER With the approaching of cold nights—the signs of smoke reaching skyward and the leaves taking on the color of fall, we are reminded of the coming of winter. This means a very limited time for cement work, which is a necessity in the erection of cemetery MEMORIALS. WHETHER you plan to erect a MEMORIAL and have that unmarked grove memorialized through the long winter months is a decision for you alone to make. Some cemeteries reserve the right to stop putting in foundations after Oct. 15th. Our purpose is to remind you of the limited time left for this work, to invite you to visit our display, and to offer our years of experience in serving you.

We have a complete stock of the nationally advertised granites and suggest you make your selection while WEATHER conditions will permit delivery.
