Boating photography is a ball, particularly when the lens is focused on such a pretty subject. Whether taking movies or snapshots, every picture will be perfect if the cameraman remembers that picturetaking around water requires different techniques than on land.

Check Your Camera Before leaving on your trip into the Great Outdoors — check your camera! The easiest way to make sure your camera is operating properly is to shoot a test roll of film before leaving on your vacation. If the pictures are satisfactory, you can be reasonably sure the camera is working properly. If not, bring it to a camera dealer and have him check it over. * • When you pack your camera for the trip, the first thing to do is “unpack” it and keep it handy for any photo scene that presents itself en route. It won’t help to see just the shot you want if your camera isn’t easily available. • • ♦ A wurd of advice: film is perishable Heat and humidity are harmful to film. Don’t put your camera or film in the trunk, glove compartment or on the rear-window deck Store the film in a plastic container with an airtight seal and keep it out of the sun. When Do You Spin, When Spin Cast The fantastic but Certainly justified popularity today of fixed-spool reels has caused confusion as to what they should be called. There are open-face reels and closedface reels; ‘and ones that mount above rod handles and ones that mount below. The open-face reel, mounting under the rod, is a spinning reel. The closed-face reel, having a nose-cone and a push-button, is a spin-cast reel — and while most are mounted on top of the rod some are mounted below. So you spin with open-face reels, but you spin-cast with closed-face reels.

Where To Find A Lost Village
The village of Spring Mill in southern Indiana has the distinction of having been ‘‘lost” for more than a half-century — and that is the prime reason why it looks today so much like it was back in the mid-1800s. Once it was a bustling settlers’ town built around a busy grist mill. Now it is one of the country’s most authentic historic restorations with a popular state park built around it. You can spend a single day, a week end, or a week in Spring Mill State Park and find interesting things to do every moment of your visit. The town of Spring Mill was settled about 1815 by Samuel Jackson, a naval hero from the War of 1812. He was awarded a land grant here, and he proceeded to set up a trading post and grist mill. The mill later was sold to the Bulitt brothers, who enlarged it and also built some stone and log buildings. They in turn sold the property to the Hammer brothers. Hugh and Tom, who improved it some more. In those days, a grist mill was a vital industrial operation. Farmers from miles around brought their grain to Spring Mill to be ground into meal. The horse trails widened into wagon roads. Aire and more settlers j drifted “in and settled down, and a variety of businesses sprung up. In time there was a post office, tannery, pottery, still house, cobbler shop, loom house, and tavern—all the necessities of 19th century community living. After an inn was built, the stagecoach began making regular stops, and long-dis-tance travelers—some of the most important people of the times—slept herb overnight. Then the railroads came—and while they spelled prosperity for some towns, they spelled doom for Spring Mill. For this village was bypassed by the iron horse. Its commerce drifted away to nearby towns with rail depots. And the people drifted away, too, leaving it a ‘‘ghost town.” deserted in the midst of the southern Hoosier hills and gathering moss. Then in this century, someone stumbled upon the moss-cover-ed ruins—and the state conservation department felt it was well worth trying to restore, as a memento of the past. Subsequently all of the original stone and log structures have been brought back to their original condition and authentically equipped with period furnishings, tools, and artefacts. When the job of restoration was completed, a much impressed conservation officer stood atop a hill overlooking Spring Mill and said, “You can go down 200 feet here and you will go back 100 years in history!”

The three-story grist mill is the dominant structure today and the center of attraction. Its great 24-foot slowly moving overshoot water wheel and its wooden flume standing high on limestone piers are marvels of pioneer craftsmanship. The old machinery still operates and grinds corn into meal while visitors look on in rapt attention.

Some. 1.200 acres of pleasant woodland offer fine picnic grounds with tables placed alongside a rippling brook. There are fireplaces for outdoor cooking; and maple campsites are available. A park inn with rooms for 200 guests operates year-round. Secluded cabins are available, and fine meals are served at
the inn for all park visitors. Other park recreations include fishing, swimming, boating on a 40-acre artificial lake, horseback riding, and hiking through 100 acres of virgin forestland. Underground caverns are another fascinating feature of the park. The park lies in the middle of the great limestone drainage area of Indiana and Kentucky. Lower Twin and Donaldson cares may be explored on foot; and a boat trip will take you along an underground river which is home for a rare species of blind fish. In the caves, the stalactites (the ones that grow downward' and stalagmites (the ones that grow upward) form delicate shapes and pleasing sights.

Loading Trailer One of the best places to carry bulky gear when trailering your boat to the water is in the boat itself. Remember, though, that as much care should be taken in loading this gear as you would take if the boat were in the water. Distribute the load evenly and towards the bow, placing more weight on the trailer tongue. Too much weight in the stem will cause your trailer to sway and could lead to perilous travel. Make sure that the load is tied down or securely braced so that it will not slide to the rear when you accelerate.
