Indiana is a great place to spend a holiday whether it be only one day. a week end or longer and visitors to the Lakeland area, especially out-of-staters, can expect a real “Hoosier Welcome” and some old fashioned “Hoosier Hospitality.” Hoosier hospitality isn’t trying to see how much money you can spend to impress visitors or how many different places you can crowd into a couple of hours. It’s just being plain, downhome type folk. There’s a little “country” in all of us if we just look for it. Hoosier hospitality is also taking advantage of what’s around you and the Lakeland area has plenty of natural resources and recreational facilities. So — take advantage of them! If you can’t think of anything to do you really have problems but maybe we can give you an idea or two. A good place to start is with a drive around Jie lake — pick any lake or two or three of them for that matter as they are all beautiful and offer something special. Stop at the park at Waubee for a picnic and a swim or if you prefer try the park at Syracuse Lake. Both are town owned and well kept and offer excellent facilities. Another place that interests visitors is the State Fish Area on Lake Wawasee. The grounds offer picnic areas as well as fishing ponds for those under 16. The fish area also offers an excellent view of the lake itself and the cooling breezes are refreshing to city folk. If the older generation wants to fish why not try the Tri-County game preserve. Anglers from near and far like the unspoiled beauty of the preserve and the fishing is good too. Don’t forget though you’ll need a license and

Saturday from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Homemade ice cream, pies, cakes and sandwiches plus beverage will be served. Randy Evans is MYF president. Guest Doug Hively, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Hively of Morris Chapel church, played “My Jesus I Love You" on the trumpet as a special for morning worship services. At a recent board meeting members voted to replace the church pews. It was announced Sunday they will be ready for installation about September 27. Flowering Bulbs To Bloom In Spring Time LAFAYETTE - Thoughts of spring usually bring visions of tulips, narcissus, hyacinths, and crocus to the homeowner. There are, however, other bulbs the homeowner can plant for an even wider array of spring color, says John A. Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist. But homeowners should check their garden shops early, for supplies of some bulbs are limited, reminds Wott. Often the only source is through mail order suppliers, be adds. Here are a few spring flower Suggestions: Anemone or Windflowers are best suited for rock gardens or for use among other creeping

so will your out-of-state guest. What should the ladies do if the gentlemen folk head for the fishing grounds. How about a shopping trip. We haven’t met a woman yet that doesn’t like to at least browse and this area has some fine stores where you can find anything you’re looking for. The new Pioneer Village under construction at the M and M in North Webster is a good place to start as Louie’s General Store is open for business and offers many different and unusual items in an old fashioned setting. Boat Ride Now, how about a ride on the Dixie. The boat goes out hourly on the half hour beginning at 1:30 on Sundays and holidays and at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. on week days and Saturdays. It’s fun and interesting to ride the Dixie around beautiful Lake Webster. Boats can be rented on almost any of the lakes for cruises around the lake, skiing, fishing or whatever pleases you and your guests. What about a meal out of doors. This is also something that is quite different to many. Your own back yard will do or why not try one of the many parks where picnic tables are offered. Besides those mentioned above you’ll find a beautiful state park just south of North Webster where picnic tables are found on a hilltop over looking the Barbee Lake chain. Patona Bay also offers a picnic area and bathing beach that may be used for the asking. A night at the playhouse is also a long remembered experience. “Plaza Suite” is currently playing with “Charlie Brown” to follow. Now, you’re on your own — Put your thinking cap on and treat your guests to some Hoosier hospitality!

perennials. The poppy anemone blooms from April to June. It usually needs some winter protections. Glory of the Snow or Chionodoxa sends forth brilliant blue, white or pink blossoms in April. When planted in groups, these plants produce a carpet effect. Galanthus or Snowdrop is a small bulbous plant producing dainty white flowers in March. Plants thrive in either sun or shade. The grape hyacinth or Muscari differ from the hyacinths in that the individual florets taper almost to a point with only a small opening. They are available in white and blue flowering types. The Squills or Scilla are among the first bulbs to bloom in the spring. Scilla sibirica blooms in April with blue or white florets. The Spanish Bluebell (Scilla hispanica) produces blue, pink or white blossoms in May. For additional information on the culture and care at these and other flowering bulbs, ask for Indiana cooperative extension service publication, HO-75-4 at your county extension office. Single copies are free to Indiana residents. Mrs. William E. Tucker of Washington, D. C., was a houseguest last Wednesday of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smith, Sr., of r 4 Syracuse.
