MOCK’S MARINA — Lawe Wawasee is blessed with a number of fine marinas, and one of these is Mock’s Marina, located on the south shore of the lake. It started business in 1920 as ••Mock’s Boat Livery”, owned by Dwight Mock. He passed away in 1953. leaving the business to his wife.

Inboards Must Have Approved Fire Extinguisher

A fire extinguisher is a lot like a life-saving device, first aid kit or insurance policy. Chaneqs are good that you will never have to use it. even over many years of boating, but if you do. it is vitally important that you have the very best aboard. Not only that — it must be in working condition and where you can reach it in a hurry. As a general rule, the U.S. Coast Guard re- j quires that motorboats carry at least one approved fire extinguisher. There is an exception. Fire extinguishers are “not re-: quirvd on outboard motorboats less . than 26 feet in length and not carrying passengers for hire if the con-, struction of such motorboats will not permit the entrapment of explosive or flammable gasses or vapors.” It ts mandatory that the extinguisher be Coast Guard approved. You can tell if it meets this requirement by checking the name plate. It should carry a Coast Guard approval number. •. „ • Among approved types are carbon dioxide, dry chemicd and

foam. Not approved are vaprizing liquid, soda-acid, or plain water types. Because many boat fires occur around the galley or in engine areas, extinguishers should be placed where they are convenient to these locations. However, they must not be placed where fire would be likely to block access to them. The Coast Guard urges boatmen to take frequent checks to be certain fire extinguishers are in their proper stowage brackets, free of damage and properly charged. Those with pressure gauges should be checked periodically to guarantee that pressure is within designated limits. Obviously, a discharged extinguisher should be recharged as soon as possible. MILFORD LOCAL Miss Linda Simon of Syracuse spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Larry Ryman and children of Milford.

Observations On Visit To Forefather s Home

By HENRY BEER The incidents and stories relating to my father and mother’s home life in Switzerland had often left a lingering anticipation that sometime in my life I might be privileged to visit the country of Switzerland. As the years increase and because of universal unrest on the increase, we concluded that this I would be the opportune time to go. ; Consequently we signed up with a tour which originated in Hillsboro. Kans. We left Kennedy airport on Sunday, July 1, and arrived in Amsterdam on the morning of July 2. We spent several days in Holland touring along the channels and saw the home of the famous Dutch painter—Rembrandt. The Dutch people. like the Swiss, are known for their kindness and gently subdued speech and courtesy. The Dutch seem to evaluate beauty in the cities as every possible nook is planted or contains large cement flat or square vases or urns beautifully planted with summer flowers — namely geraniums, petunias, verbenas, lobeliea and othier flowers. Fuchias and ageratum and colored small and large type ! begbnis are used in extensive carpet bedding. Almost every home between the house and street has a beautifully designed flower garden, devoid of weeds and it seems each one is in competition with the other for the best effect. The largest flower market in the world is at Aalsmeer. Here in a ; very large ampitheater style building the flowers are displayed and sold al auction. Some go to France, ■ .Africa and Greece as weH as other countries. It is amusing to see as many as 10 or 50 people on bicycles stopi ping at a stoplight. Young an old, men and women, ride and use this means of transportation. The countryside is dotted with well-fed Holstein cattle from which the famous Holland cheese and but- , ter is made. | We went by train through Ger- ; many and everything in city and countryside seemed prosperous and well kept. Fields of wheat and barley. rye and sugar beets and potatoes looked promising for an abundant crop. In Switzerland Switzerland is a land of rare scenic beauty. There are, however, fertile plains and valleys where aI bundant crops are produced and one fanner we visited had an A- : merican “Harvest Store Silo”. The cities are very dean and buildings in excellent repair. We had an occasion to go up to Mt. St. Gothard and to Mt. Jung Frau where one can see other peaks? Eiger, Monck and Silver Horn. These peaks are among the most beautiful in the world with glaciers, centuries old. still intact. ;They supply the mountain streams with water for their efficient electrical power. .AU lines and trains are run by dectricity. These lines are known for their promptness in ’ time service. I Above the timber line are meadow's of rare Alpine plants of many types and various colors. It is the

paradise for botanists and naturelovers. In the morning one can hear the sweet tinkling of the bells of the cattle grazing. Each cow has a different sounding bell and It is sweet to hear them in unison. The breeds are the Brown Swiss and the red and white Siebenthalers. a gentle looking animal. The farmers on the higher Alps still mow hay in small sections with the mowing scythe and carry great bundles of hay up and down to the barns with a hay fork. Father’s home is still standing up on a very steep hill and is now ' a vacation resort for a lady school teacher. Father and his brothers i were, it seemed, fully justified I leaving for America, for the steep slopes were quite impossible to farm. Nearly 500,000 Italian workers have been brought into Switzerland for general work, supplying the present need, but creating a concern lest they become a part erf the population. The clear blue lakes, the fresh mountain streams rushing down from great heights, the lacy water- ' falls, the magestic snow covered peaks and the spruce covered ! stopes all present a never-to-be- ; forgotten picture. In speaking with a professor of I economy, he said America is playI ing a very important role. For with- | out the American troops in Germany there is fear of another Hitler | presenting himself, and if the troops I were withdrawn, Russia would not find it difficult to take over western Europe. Then, too, he said the destiny of smaller nations and even the world depends upon the stability of America. America is the pillar of the free world and Europeans are keenly interested in news and happenings in America and the Civil Rights difficulties. We had occasion to hold a gospel service for 12 American soldiers serving our country at Neu Huetten, Germany. These young Americans came from Kansas, Illinois. Indiana and lowa. They seemingly enjoyed hearing the gospel message in our familiar American tongue. From Germany we had occasion to go to Salzburg. Austria, a beautiful but ancient city in the western part of the country. Here we met a dear Christian man who had served six years in a concentration camp for having distributed care packets to the destitute and starving. His service of relieving the needy and hungry was considered an act ' of espionage. We took the train back to Switzerland and spent the last week with cousin Ida Beer, a gracious English speaking lady. We met by her introduction many of our unknown cous- ■ ins—some of whom work in factories. ! One has a service station, another a ; restaurant and motel, another a vvatI er powered sawmill and one is a bee- [ keeper. The general atmosphere while visiting in Europe makes one feel as if he w ere hemmed in or crowd!ed and one wonders where the •growing population will find homes and sustenance.

I know that Europe’s wonderful but something seems to lack. The past is too much with her, and the people looking back; but* the glory of die present is to make the future free. We love our land for what she is and what she is to be. Then home again, home again, America for me! I want a ship that’s westward bound to plow’ the rolling sea. To the blessed land of room enough, beyond tlie ocean bars. Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars — Henry Van Dyke. (Editor’s Note: Accompaning i Mr. Beer to Europe was his wife and their son. Max. All are Milford residents. Mr. Beer is owner of the local green house and is pastor of the Apostolic Christian church.) 'Safety In The Camp' This is the second feature in a series of three on camping safety, prepared by Kosciusko county chapter American Red Cross chairman Ned Titus who last week offered expectant campers some simple steps to improve their safety on the road. Here are some important points ito be weighed by the boss camper |in selecting a rite. To these. Sir. Titus has added some thoughts aI bout camping procedures that can J help make the stay more enjoyable ■ as well as safer. i Select a campsite away from | steep embankments and cliffs that I could prove a temptation and a hazard to small children. i Choose a campsite that offers ' some protection from high winds in the event of a severe storm. Examine the general area for deep holes and dangerous waters. Check the area for poisonous plants. ! Show your children how to identify poison ivy, poison oak and sumac, and if possible keep the children away from them. Is there an ample supply i drinking water close by? Tap water ! in state and national parks is safe, if so marked. Lakes and streams , are pointed. I Caution children against eating unidentified berries and mush- | rooms or toadstools that look edible I but may be poisonous. I Be sure to wear clothing suited | to the environment. This is true for both land and boats. Wear trousers |or sturdy leg covering for hiking lin the brush. Adjust slowly to the sun and avoid over-exposure. Carry a good insect repellent. If there is wildlife in the area find out from a native or a park employee someone who really knows — whether there is danger from animals or venomous snakes. Keep garbage in a tight lidded container as a deterent against animal prowlers and stinging insects Campfires are part of the game, but if you leave one, douse it thoroughly with water and cover it with earth. Be certain all fires are out. If you cook on a charcoal grill, always us it in a well ventilated area. When charcoal is burned for long periods in a closed tent or cave ( there is danger of asphyxiation from carbon monoxide. Keep knives and axes sheathed and in a safe place when they are not in use. For efficiency these tools should be sharp. For everyone’s health, they should never be ; left lying about unguarded. When ■ using a sharp tool always cut away from you. Even if you carry your own refrigeration. staple foods are best for camping. Some perishable foods can spoil within a few hours from the time they leave the cooler.

Unsanitary Condition Exists At Lake Properties Arthur VanAnda, who lives on r 1 Syracuse, is interested in knowing why unsanitary conditions exist around rental properties on the lakes. Trash burners are uncovered and a fire hazard. Garbage is set cut in paper boxes and open containers. The fire and garbage law's are state laws and applies not only to cities and towns but to the state. The law’s states that a trash fire must not be ignited within 50 feet of /a building and should have a grill on top of the trash burner. Freshly-cut grass, weeds or tree trimmings ’ should not be burned. Garbage, glass, cans and pressurized containers should be disposed f of in garbage containers. Clothing, shoes, paint rags and other flamI maNes should not be burned. ! Garbage should be wrapped in paper, then placed in a covered container. Any violation of the laws j are liable to prosecution either by ■ the state fire marshal or board of ■ health. If property owners would inform ’ their renters of the basic rules, j there would be no complaints. Some; of the lake properties are as close as they are in town and renters should respect the laws whether at home or on vacation at the lakes. Refueling Tips I For Safe Boating i Motor boating can be great fun ' and trouble free—providing one observes simple safety precautions. Proper refueling practices, for example, will minimize the possibili- ! ties of touching off fires or explosions aboard your craft, the American Insurance Association notes. To avoid these hazards, the association recommends: Don't refuel while engine is hot or running. Use only approved spill-proof cans, and avoid spillage or overflow of gasoline or its vapors. Never smoke while refueling. All hatches, doors and ports should be closed when fueling. After fueling, ventilate thoroughly the bilge and all compartments. Check the fuel tank and engine area for fumes before starting the motor. However, an approved and fully charged fire extinguisher should be available for use in the event of a fire or explosion. Common Mistakes Os Boat Owners Every summer boat owners run amuck of local boating regulations. I In most cases, it’s ignorance of the law and not a willful attempt to get | away with something. It’s a lot easier for all concerned if you brush up on local regulations now. These reminders on common mistakes made by boatmen are ofI sered. Register your boat and display the numbers correctly. In most areas, boats powered by engines in excess of 10 horsepower must be registered. Before venturing out on the w’ater, check with your local law enforcement authorities or the state conservation department. Carry *a life-saving device (life I preserver or buoyant seat cushion > I for every passenger aboard your I boat. To meet the requirements of the law, they must be tagged with the words, ‘‘Approved by the U. S. Coast Guard.” Carry equipment specifically required for your boat. Some boats must carry fire extinguishers, while others are required to have a horn or noise making device aboard. This may not apply to your boat, ; but it’s smart to check local regulations. Negligent operation covers a host of “on the water” violations. The \ mest common are overloading and excessive speed in congested areas or near swimming beaches. ' Overloading and failure to carry life-saving devices often go hand-in-hand with fatal consequences. Reputable boat builders affix capa- ! city plates on the gunwale stating the number of passengers and total I weight a boat can safely carry. Do I 1 not exceed the maximum established by the boat builder.
