What’s The Lakeland Area? It’s A Place Where Education Is Tops

Yes, the Lakeland area is the place where education is tops — not only in the winter but all summer too. The Lakeland Community School Corporation conducts an excellent summer program, 4-H activities teach through experience and summer swimming lessons round out the educational opportunities for area youngsters. This year the school corporation has 176 students enrolled in five classes. Classes began on June 10 and will end Friday. Driver’s training is being taught in the Milford, Syracuse and North Webster communities with the junior high school buildings being used for classrooms. In addition, a health class is being offered at Milford. The driver’s training students will have 60 hours of classroom work, six and two-thirds hours of behind the wheel experience and 13 hours of observation when they complete their training. The health students meet with Arlo Beiswanger between 9:30 and 11:30 each morning. Terry Franks is classroom teacher afc North Webster and is assisted in the driving by Albert Smith. JameS Alford and Jerry Minton are classroom teachers at Syracuse with driving assistance from Mr. Smith and Don Storey. At Milford the driver’s education classroom work is taught by William Dorsey who is assisted in driving instruction by Mr. Storey. Each student completing summer work will earn one credit towards his or her high school graduation.

ty in the water many lives have been saved throughout the years. Unique School This reporter read of a “community school” program the other day. It is to keep a city’s schools open year - round with activities for the entire family. The unique school is in Wilmington, Del., and is the result of a special grant from Du Pont. The company has committed 550,000 a year for the next three years to help the implementation of the program. “The essence of the community school is the active participation of residents in all phases of the school,” stated Dr. Gene A. Geisert, superintendent of schools. “The schools involved will remain open each week day u’lil 10 p.m. Educational, culI'.’ral and recreational programs will be offered for all age groups.

Dewart Lake Skiers Place In State Meet Four members of the reorganized Dewart Lake Skiers ski club competed Saturday in the Indiana State water ski tourney held at Wolf lake in Hammond. Trophy winners were Larry Thompson who placed first in novice boys’ salom and Rick Clingamen who placed second in novice boys’ salom and third in novice boys’ jumping. Also skiing for the Dewart Lake club were Steve Skaggs and Steve Stahly who placed fifth and seventh in the novice toys’ salom. The boys have not had a salom course or a jump to practice on this summer. This was the first contest for Larry Thompson and Steve Stahly. Others attending were Sherry Butler, Keith Huff and Mr. and Mrs. John L. Miller, Shari and Sheli. Lakeland Youth Hews Terry Auker and Anne Jensen Well, we had a real good crowd Friday night to hear Rick Workman and Greg Carpenter of “A Bercrombies Life”. The group did real well in playing some real swinging music for about 180 young people. This Friday night the dance band will feature the “Boston Cream Pies”. We are bringing this group back by popular request. This group is doing very well and getting popular so let’s really welcome them back with a large attendance. There has been a lot of interest shown in the new basketball set-up, so come on out and play some ball. Due to the lack of interest on the part of the young people for- the bake sale and car wash, they have been canceled until school takes up in the fall. SYRACUSE LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. Jack Carr and daughters entertained at a cookout Sunday evening at their Bonar lake home for the former's brother, Dr. Stanley Carr, Mrs. Carr and sons of Goshen.

Just About Everyone Heads Outdoors

The fact is that just about everybody among the millions who comprise the expanding population of this great country is basically an Outdoor Recreation Enthusiast. Every time the family plans a backyard cookout, it’s the lure of the outdoors that inspires Dad to be the chef. Every time the family heads out for a vacation, It'S Mom who packs the goodies for the picnic meals along the way. In a recent survey by the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, the following activities were among the most popular in luring folks outdoors: driving for pleasure (touring), walking, bicycling, sight-seeing, picnicking, fishing, boating, nature walks, camping, water skiing, horseback riding, and bird watching. Most of; the above are summer and early fall activities. However, hunting, which is one of the major fall activities, now rates near the top in popularity, also. Generally speaking, most outdoor activities take place near home on weekends, on overnight trips, short outings, vacations, and whenever folks can find time. Years ago, summer was the heaviest outdoor recreation use period and trips were short. But now, with fine modem, personalized transportation available, today’s nimrodders head afield via wheels, or wings, or over water, into all parts of the boondocks, throughout the entire year. More and more of our retired Senior Citizens of today are making it a point to “follow the sun” in the new recreational vehicles such as campers and trailers, offering all the comforts of home. Even for those who enjoy hiking, you need some mode

of transportation to reach such famed spots as the John Muir, Dixie, or Appalachian Trails, unless, of course, you want to start the hike right from your back yard. A most dramatic example of how much camping has mushroomed tells a good story. In 1930, there were less than one million campers. Today, according to the U.S. National Forest officials, there were over 20 million campers afield in 1967. To illustrate how far some of these outdoor-minded groups will travel, anglers in 1965 drove over 22 billion passenger miles to hit their favorite fishing holes; hunters racked up over 8.5 billion miles. With this section we welcome you to the brotherhood of those who love the outdoors. Enjoy it, revel, in it, learn more about it, appreciate it, make it a major part of your leisure life. In this section, you’ll find the guidance of a group of experts in all major areas of outdoor recreation who have done their best to open the door for you and invite you out . . .
