Wrong Name

Door County, Wis., is not appropriately named. It should should have been named Vacationland, for that’s what it is — and one of the best. Look at a map of Wisconsin and you’ll see a long finger of land protruding into Lake Michigan for some 60 miles to form Green Bay, whose harbor of the same name was founded in 1634 by Jean Nicolet and became famous some three centuries later for its professional football team. Nicolet thought he was headed for China. But he had to settle for what was then exclusively Indian country. How he came to miss what is now known as Door County is now known. However, when the Icelanders and the Swedes and the Norwegians arrived they recognized the unusual qualities of Door county — and here they settled. Later came the New Englanders - to stay — and many thousands of other Americans came to enjoy the vacationland that the Chicago Motor Club - AAA says is one of the best that Wisconsin has to offer. The climate is ideal in the middle of summer. Daytime temperatures range in the 70’s and nights are crisp and condusive to sleep. Twelve county parks, three state parks, a wide variety of resort and cabin facilities and many outdoor sports, including excellent fishing, lure thousands here every summer. June is considered the best _ month for going after northern pike, and from July through September the bass fishing is best. Roads winding along the shore line cut through plush northern woodland, up and down green rolling hills, and under craggy hanging cliffs. Here and there you’ll see an offshore island, a peaceful cove or bay, a quaint harbor, or one of many historical markings set up by the residents. Old lighthouses, some deserted and some still in use, and Indian villages are interesting to adults and fascinating to children. At Bailey’s Harbor a lighthouse built over a hundred years ago is still beaming its light to guide boats and ships in nearby waters. The Chicago Motor Club - AAA suggests you follow the scenic roads through such colorful settlements as Sister Bay, Ephraim, Fish Creek, Egg Harbor, and Sturgeon Bay. Each has a charm all its own, and most boast of fine resorts restaurants, a sheltered harbor and interesting shops. Entertainment includes golfing, dancing, nightlife, concerts, summer theater, movies, boating, waterskiing, skindiving, fishing and other summer sports. The 300,000 acres of Door county include scores of well kept dairy farms and many miles of cherry orchards. Harbors are

filled with boats of every description, beaches are alive with sunworshippers, and the bays and coves, the lighthouses, the quaint homes and the coastline are reminiscent of New England. That New England flavor is particularly present in Sturgeon Bay, an important lake port at the canal that bisects the county. Here you may browse among the city’s four shipyards and watch pleasure and commercial craft in various stages of construction. You may also visit the two local yacht clubs or the marina. It’s one of the largest on the Great Lakes. Potawatomi State Park, two miles northwest of Sturgeon Bay, covers 1,126 acres of heavily wooded shore. Here are picnic groves, boating, swimming, fishing and an extensive network of hiking and nature trails. Wildflowers grow in profusion. A highway reaches to the top of Government Bluff, highest point in the park. Here you get a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside as well as islands, inwaters and harbors. Penninsula State Park near Ephraim offers swimming, golfing, boating and a nature program. The third state park, Rock Island, covers 900 acres just off Washington Island. It may be reached only by boat; no cars, planes, or horses are allowed. Washington Island is the largest of several islands beyond the tip of Door county. It can be reached via ferry from Gills Rock. More than two centuries ago the Potawatomi Indians lived here — until they were almost wiped out by a sudden lake squall that swamped a large war party crossing what is now called Death’s Door Strait in canoes. The people are primarily Scandinavian now, and here also is the largest Icelandic settlement in the country.

Lets Ge TEACH CHILDREN TO WATER SKI Children are naturals for water skiing. They adapt very easily to the sport and having mastered it, they will never outgrow the fun. The most important thing for a child learning to ski is proper equipment aceording to Tom Dorwin, a former water ski champion and now advisor to Evinrude Motors. It is a mistake to try and teach a child to ski on adult equipment. The skis are top big and the child will struggle to stay in the bindings, being unable to stand up in them. A good rule, says Dorwin, is that the skis should not be much taller than the child. Snug bindings are essential. He also suggests that you pick a sunny day when the water is warm to teach a child the sport. It should be fun, not an unpleasant experience. A child learning to ski should be able to swim and not be afraid of the water. Another important safety measure is a life jacket or ski belt. The dry land technique is most successful in teaching children the fundamentals of water skiing. To simulate the feeling of being pulled up by a powerboat, a child holding a tow rope should be slowly pulled up by his instructor from a sitting position to a standing one. His knees should be between his elbows and his arms out straight in the starting position. After repeating this procedure a number of times, the child is ready for a deep water start which Dorwin recommends over the dock start. Because a child is light, he should just pop up on top of the water and you don’t need a high powered motor to pull him. You may even need to throttle back. When just beginning, it is best for someone to ski along side to assist him. He will soon be an expert according to Dorwin if he just remembers: “Arms straight. Knees bent.” SYRACUSE LOCAL The David Gadsin family of Louisville, Ky., are at their summer home at Lake Wawasee.

Presidents' Council Os Homemakers Extension Clubs In June 18 Meeting

The presidents’ council meeting of the Homemakers Extension clubs met at the Shrine building Wednesday, June 16, for a luncheon and business meeting. Mrs. Victor Hillery, county president, opened the meeting with Mrs. Tim Derf giving the devotions and grace. Secretary Mrs. Mike Williamson gave a report of the last meeting. Mrs. Robert Boggs reported there was a balance in the county treasury of $1,498 and in the building fund of $419. There is a balance in the Women’s building fund of $1,009. It was reported rest room facilities and a remodeled kitchen area was built in the Women’s building and new drapes purchased. The total cost for remodeling will be $2,647. TheXgroup voted to cash a time certificate of S6OO to apply, which will leave approximately S7OO to be raised. Tickets will be sold by the club women to defray this expense. Mrs. Derf reported the Cancer Clinic needed money to continue operating their cancer detection center where cancer tests are given at a nominal sum to county residents. It was originally set up as the Anna Mabie Orr Memorial but that fund is now depleted. The detection center has been operating every other month and costs $4 per person. In the past 10 years there have been 2,265 cancer examinations given. The clubs were asked to contribute if they cared to. Mrs. Guy Vanator spoke of the “Sew with Wool’’ contest and encouraged the club women to enter the contest. She had materials with her for display. The clubs were reminded of the fair exhibits and also the hostesses. The clean-up day for the fair will be August 1. The camp, held in conjunction with Elkhart county at Camp Mack, will be held September 8 and 9. A meeting for club women on narcotics will be held July 7 at 8 p. m. at the women’s building. Miss Sandra Summe, deputy probation officer in narcotic’s unit of the metropolitan area Office Probation Dept., Los Angeles, Calif., will be the speaker. She will be spending a vacation with her parents near Akron and has consented to speak. A lesson on making corsages will be held today, Wednesday, at the Women’s building. The Christmas Workshop committee met Tuesday. A lesson on making bouquets of feather flowers is scheduled for August 25. Miss Alicia McElwee, the new apprentice home agent, was introduced and spoke of tentative plans for a bus trip to the 4-H Center at Purdue for anyone interested.

No Moonlighting For State Police Officers An announcement from Indiana State Police Superintendent Robert Konkle orders 400 state police officers to give up moonlighting and devote themselves only to their law enforcement jobs. The order was issued Wednesday and goes into effect today, June 25, when a pay hike goes into effect for 800 state police. Konkle said about half of the entire state force admitted to working on second jobs. He said you can’t pump gas into a man’s car at 4 p.m., and go on duty as an officer at six and stop the customer’s car for speeding without question. Konkle went on to say law enforcement is a dedicated profession and the officer should do that job and that job alone. He went on to say these officers should be paid enough that the men and their families could live on. He said more men are needed so the officers do not have to work on days off, but this will be up to the next legislature. WASHINGTON—More than eight million persons — one out of every nine workers in the United States — depend on some phase of trucking for a livelihood.
