The head baseball job at Warsaw was offered as icing on the cake. Schrader has requested that he be released from his contract obligationhs immediately, including his summer baseball coaching. Principal Henry . Smith is directing the team until new coach Tom Spear can arrive on the scene. Spear '

Telling about a drive he and Mrs. Milnor took recently, he goes on — t “After driving a while rather aimlessly, we found ourselves in the vicinity of the Barbee Lakes. There were many signs pointing the way to the Hutchinson Mobile Home Park, so we follow them out of curiosity. “A sign outside a new mobile home announced it was open for inspection. Once again curiosity took over and we went inside. Soon we met Mrs. M. J. Hutchinson who labeled us as prospects even before we knew we were. “We murmured some praise about the coach’s interior and added that we might be interested in something if it were on the lakefront. "We might be interested?” Who said that? It had been about five years since we sold our cottage lake business forever, we told ourselves. No more slaving to keep two properties going. “It just so happens there are two coaches for sale on the lakefront,” said Mrs. Hutchinson brightly. "Let’s go look at them.’’ . e “About a week later we closed the deal for a mobile home on the lakefront. Utilities are underground at Hutchinson's Park. The place is beautifully landscaped. They put your pier into the water and take it out for you. There is about a tenth of the grass we mowed at Clear Lake. “It makes a great place for two people to relax without working too hard at it. There are fish in the lake and a boat in which to reach them. The lake—it’s Irish Lake— is one of the Barbee chain and you can go from one to another.”
