Nedra Jones called early one evening while 1 was sleeping thru my favorite TV show to aak if I could help Nancy Prickett get a group together to decorate the Chamber of Commerce float for the Mermaid Festival in which our pretty queen. Teri Blue, would be ■ Knowing Nancy was exhausted from the wonderful job she, did on the first Queen Pageant the previous week, wanted to help. but told Nedra my knowledge of such a project was nil. She assured me the theme had been- planned and the young teenagers were eager to help, but more or less needed an adult around. Am so gbd she talked me into it as it was such a wonderful experience. First thing was to get the materials together. Admit felt a little peculiar with' thirty boxes of Kleenex and twenty rolls of toilet tissue in a grocery cart in the ’ check-out line, but this was only the beginning. 1 We had three days to punch ail • this paper (which filmed out to be much more as time went bn> into chicken wire Those Jittfe gals worthed their hearts out Mort of them had jobs lx.it sho’A-cd-up to work every available momerit tn< . work on their float which' they feit was real ‘cool’. Learned that ‘cool’ means real ‘r.cat>‘. all of which mdanj it w.ts pretty great. of my time was spent doing "the leg work for more materials needed as the float started to' take i form. A 'purchase of thirty more. boxes of Kleenex aroused the cur-1 Kisity of a little fellow in the checkout line anil won<iered what all that was for. Was short on time and telling him. at his young years, it was for docorating a float would take, more time than I trad, so just told him my Inrirand had a bod cold That saved about five minutes tune and we were naming short of that. On the Friday of the parade, we could have use-1 two.more days to complete it. Miss Kimes wanted to start at 7 that morning a> she had a hair appointment to work in and had to be t<> work at 11. So a group of us started at 7 a.ni. The Little gals work • >: ointments j during the day and immediately rej turned to continue their work orr the float. The float was in one of Harkless’ ; warehouses and a young gal walked by on her way home. Some of the I cals knew her and invited her in. She saw our need for help and brought an older brother along. At j this point a decision was made to close in a new area. More chicken wire was needed. The little passer-1 by was inside the chicken wire and sort of underneath the float affixing I it like an experienced veteran ■where chicken wire was concerned and ‘the other agls started stuffing [ paper. She must have4iad a two foot clearance to get out. but somehow made it. All of a sudden we were out of: blue tissue - was pretty sure we j had all that was so town, but lucked | in to the seven remaining rolls in Syracuse.

The Origin Os Hastings; How Was It Named?

■. It is not known how the name originated. It could have come from the Battle of Hastings in 1066. It certainly was a battle to subdue this w'ildemess. A more likely origin would be a shortening of “hay strings.” In the early days the marsh hay was cut with a scythe and put in pdes. Later, in the winter, when these marshes were frozen it was hauled in to feed. These .marshes and the ground were saturated with bumblebee nests. In fact the saying. , “thick as bumblebees,” was a common expression. One thing Wag sure — they were excellent pollenizers and a cloverseed yield of three •■) fi-.e bushels :-er acre Was uncommon. A bumblebee always warns you but those wasps, yellow jackets and hornets were vary rude in their introduction. Jefferson Township Jefferson township- originally had 36 sections, but due to the Alt. Tabor neighborhood difficulty in getHastings it was detached and those five "sections were added to Scott township. — The boundary is a zig-zag line following the south edge of the marsh. Between the south marsh and the north marsh lies the island or high land, which was originally covered n timber of all varieties. Many of the trees measured three to five feet “across the stump” in diameter. Except what it took for building, these trees were rolled together and burned for a “clearing.” Between these stumps com was ha-xl planted I Later on the Omer Neff ditch was dug from road 120GN and 600 W to Turkey* Creek. The Joe Armey ditch came in from the north branch of the Yellow River.

Onions After the lowering of the water level the ground was plowed, the tussocks carried off and sometimes the gnxind hand raked, then it was ready for onions — the first major muck crop. The onion seed was drilled in rows about 14 inches wide They were then wheel hoed and then weeded. I Frank and Charlie Geiger, Mrs. Emma Lentz’s brothers, were the giants of the local industry.

You could make a fortune one .vear and lose it the next. William : Wedrick and Fred McKown bought many a carload of onions from local growers — when onions were king! "Onion” days in Nappanee were big events. Everyone had a patchand when the pay roll checks were cashed by the parents for store items it was a boon to the economy.
