Senior Citizens Regaining Youth In The Great Outdoors

One of the advantages of joining the ranks of America's senior citizens is, usually, more time to devote to having fun. And, it's evident that more and more of the time of the over-65 crowd is being spent in the outdoors. "All my life I dreamed of having as much time as I wanted to travel and fish,” one recent retiree says, ”and now I've got the world on that proverbial string!” Active Group in Syracuse Syracuse has an active Senior Ctitizen club headed by president Mrs. Georgia Buster. They attended the flag raising ceremony at the Syracuse city park on July 4 and entered a float in the Police and Firemen's fair parade last week. Currently they are planning a picnic for July 25. Fishing statistics show a large {x*r cent of the fishermen are over 65.

A surprising number of persons in their 60 s are taking up water skiing and flying. Both are in jeopardy of losing their “youth image!” Camping, too, is a popular recreation for the so-called “oldtimers". Small, collalsible, bent-trailers and truck campers are particularly suited for the retired persons. With time, couples can move from one scenic campsite to the next, from coast to coast, conveniently and economically. Hie senior group’s interest in the outdoors has an effect on the younger generation’s outdoor • activities. More than one grandfather has taken his young grandson in hand and taught him how to fish or take him on his first camping trip. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Wbetten and children of Logansport were Saturday overnight guests at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Scott of r 3 Syracuse.

tfclZlNjOfl around iOR ■ The Syracuse police and firemen’s fair parade Saturday night was easily one of the association’s best, with some 70odd units participating in the two-hour event. Almost without exception, units were good, with original themes and reflected considerable work and effort to bring them before the judges. (Note: See the full page of pictures in this issue, which tells only part of the story’.) The judges (Father Eugene Zimmerman. Rev. August Lundquist, Mrs. Mary Ganshorn, Mrs. Pat Brown. Bob Jones and Don Novy) had their work cut out for them. But stealing some of their thunder was MC Nelson Auer who took the occasion to don his amateur magician’s green paisley coat and tie. Particularly impressive was the Elkhart city police motorcycle patrol, consisting of Ron Linton, Bob Cutter (brother of Chevy Bill), Ken Yoder and Bob Zimmerman. Catching our eye, however, was 14-year-oid JoAnn Cutter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Cutter of Elkhart, who figured in the mini patrol. The only girl in the cute caper-cutting patrol, JoAnn was conscious of being the only girl in the outfit and wanted to wear a helmet to hide her identity. With hair flowing back, and a big smile on her face, she thoroughly enjoyed her role. Winning first in the old car category were Mr. and Mrs. Neil Kreger and seven-month-old son Bill, riding in a 1904 Oldsmobile, which had been rebuilt in 1959. The Monroeville, Ind., couple won a first prize. One did a double take when he saw John Van Lue and Wallie Huffer appear in the parade twice. They went through with the Wawasee Warriors, then game through again in a fire department unit. Oh, well. Mazie .Alexander, county recorder and inveterate campaigner, was on the sidelines, witnessing the parade. She makes most all such events in the county. Milford Chamber of Commerce parade chairman Chuck Myers was dutifully taking down names of units he liked in the parade, so he could invite them to the big parade planned for Milford in late September. A break-up and rendezvous point was the fire station following the parade. and firemen and police are grateful for the cooperation of Louie’s Bar & Grill, Frog Tavern, Kale Island Beacon, Sportsman’s Bar, I Excel Distributing, Wawasee Package. Pickwick Lounge. Sportsmen s ; Center. Anchor Bar and Glen and June Davis for making the waiting hour comfortable. Real credit for the parade should go to Butch Niles, no question about it. • • •• Very few people . know John B. Kimble is president of Frog Tavern. Inc.

Working under the aegis of social concerns of the Warsaw Presbyterian church, the group has in mind cleaning up the "Kentucky ghetto” near Warsaw and the establishment of a climate in Warsaw that will attract members of the negro communities of metropolitan areas. The group is headed by Bill Vamos, dynamic young minister of the Warsaw Presbyterian church, and new’ member of the Warsaw community school board. The group wants no publicity as yet until its effort is staffed with hard-minded enthusiasts, but they plan a psychological invasion of the social, business, church and industrial “power structure” of Warsaw. One can soon expect the drive to finger out into the county’s smaller communities after its initial effort has been detonated in Warsaw. .• • • Thelma Hoddler of Thelma’s Beauty Shoppe, r 1 Syracuse, was a brief patient Friday al the Bluffton Clinic, but she could rest assured her beauty parlor was in good hands.
