ARCH BAUMGARTNERS HOME FROM MID-EAST Mr. and Mrs. Arch Baumgartner of Milford arrived home last Wednesday evening from a three-week trip to the MidEast with a group of representatives of the National Newspaper Association. It was their second such trip, and included visits to Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, the Sinai Peninsula. Cyprus. Turkey and Spain, with a brief stop-over in Switzerland and Greece. SLED TRAILS by Jacques Armstrong Sno w mobil i ng, the nation’s fastest growing participation sport, is viewed by most people as a wholesome, invigorating form of outdoor family fun But it’s more than that. Snow mob ding is proving to be a big factor in the economies of a number of states particularly here in the Upper Midwest. The economic impact of snowmobiling in Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan alone has been estimated at over $212 mil- '<■' lion per season. And it’s no secret that snowmobders pay their own way- from the hundreds of dollars they spend each year on their machines and equipment

down to their snowmobile registration fees, which go to pay for building and maintaining the growing system of snowmobile trails. Most of the snowbelt states are busily engaged in budding not only trails but shelters and parking areas to accommodate the growing numbers of snowmobile enthusiasts. The Wisconsin legislature appropriated $660,000 for that state’s snowmobile program for the three-year period that ends in 1972. But Wisconsin taxpayers didn’t subsidize this program. The money will come entirely from registration fees paid by the owners of the state’s 120,000 registered snowmobiles and the same situation prevails "in most other snow belt states. The snowmobile trail systems that are springing up in some of the northern states are quite extensive. Minnesota, for example, has over 5,500 miles of snowmobile trails including trails on state. Federal, county and private lands o as well as primitive logging and ski trails. Generally, state conservation departments charged with administering snowmobile programs feel that the establishment of an adequate trail system is of vital importance to the orderly development of snowmobiling as a sport. In fact, many conservation people feel that a network of well-designated, serviced and maintained trails provides the only longrange solution to some of the temporary problems caused by the burgeoning growth and popularity of snowmobiling. According to Minnesota Department of Natural Resources estimates, an adequate trail system costs an estimated $225 per mile to build and about $215 per mile per year to maintain. But it’s well worth it in terms of the wider exposure it gives to snowmobiling. And it’s important not to overlook the necessity of maintaining these trails once they have been built because for a trail to get optimum use, it has to be well-maintained. The consensus of opinion among the experts seems to be that a snowmobile operating on a designated trail is almost certain to minimize conflicts with private landowners, environmentalists and nonsnowmob tiers. j But while there are many enlightened people in the conservation departments of the snowbelt states, there are also those who advocate restrictive regulations that would limit the activities of snowmobiles and snowmobilers to a point where they could very well kill the goose that is laying those golden eggs Not even the most avid snowmobile enthusiast would deny the need for sensible regulations that govern the operation of these machines — they are absolutely vital if snowmobiling is to be preserved as a sport that the masses can enjoy. But overregulation is not the answer any more than prohibition was the answer back in the days of*!he bootlegger/

facts about •< ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY v If you missed this column last I week we hope you read The M-J | staff's “Cat’s Away ...” column. It was sort of a replacement I column for one week. t s Looking at February 29 on the I Milford Lions club’s birthday 1 calendar we noticed something a little unusual. Celebrating birthdays on the once-every-fcsir-years day were Robbie Hare and Irma Wiggs. Now. there’s nothing unusual about that unless you know that ■ Robbie is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hare of 408 W. Catherine street and Irma is Mrs. Duane Wiggs of 407 W. Catherine street. Robbie celebrated his first actual birthday and we’re not telling how old Mrs. Wiggs is this year. Wedding anniversary congratulations go to Mr. and Mrs. Jacob O. Rink of Our Town. Mr. and Mrs. Rink will celebrate their 65th anniversary tomorrow. It’s time once again for us to climb upon our soap box and ask ’ the citizens of Our Town to please watch out for. Our Town's high school students before someone is “sorry” too late. Two Lakeland school buses stop uptown each day to let high school students out in the business district. After all, many of them live on the east side of town and it’s quite a distance from the junior high school to the library f in cold weather, especially if the bus on which you were riding just passed the library. It seems even though the buses use flashing lights, which according to state law require all traffic — coining and going — to stop, some people ignore the lights and pass the buses while they are unloading. Our soap box question of the day is, “what happens when someone hits a student and injures or even kills him?” Think about it! When you see a school bus stopped please be alert. If that bus has flashing lights the state law requires drivers to stop. It won’t help to say you are sorry or relate the fact you were in a hurry’ —- aren’t we all — after the accident. , Our congratulations go to Carl Duncan who was recently named Our Town’s "Citizen of the Year.” Mr. Duncan often went above and beyond the call of duty when he was president of the Milford town board and is well deserving of the honor. With the warm spring days beginning to arrive — it was in the high 50’s Tuesday— we can’t help but wonder who will report seeing the first robin of the year. The John Kimbles and Forest Cooks, all of Syracuse, returned last week from several weeks in Acapulco. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Purvis of Syracuse have returned from a three-week trip to Texas and Arizona.

BEHIND THEIR TEAM — This group of boys from Wawasee high school showed they were behind the Warriors as they dribbled a basketball from Wawasee high school to the sectional site at the Warsaw high school gym last Thursday night. . After the team’s victory over Triton they again dribbled the ball to Warsaw on Friday to show support of Wawasee.

Poor OP Monday Needs Celebrating

Poor little Monday. Why hasn’t somebody declared it a national holiday instead of a national tragedy? “Ugh!” people say. “It’s Monday.” Even dish towels have things like, “Mondays we wash” embroidered thereon. Who says so? Why not, “Mondays we do as we damn please.” Is Monday any shorter or any longer than any other day? Does the sun come up in black and white instead of color? Does it set with a plunk instead of the usual lovely slippage into the sea? Hell, no. It’s just that we have to gather ourselves together after a Sunday which, unfortunately, isn’t all Sunday used to be. Sunday is getting to be so full of jammedtogethemess, and shopping at stores which remain open on that once cloistered day, that whether we like it or not, Monday has become a day of recuperation. “Rest and Recuperation,” I think the Army calls it, after a Sunday of stress. Just ask the employer. A lot of his employes have declared it a furlough — if turning up at work is any indi-

cation. Or maybe AWOL would be more accurate. Nevertheless, Monday, that innocent victim of our own foolishness and overindulgence, has suffered. Whoever heard of having a dinner party on Monday night? Or a cocktail party? A Monday night cocktail party would be so avant-garde, I’m surprised somebody hasn’t already thought of it. You know — let’s do something really wild and kooky — like celebrating Monday. I don’t know if Monday could stand it. After being used for wash days all these years, after being the medicinal 24 hours for turning hangovers into hang-in-theres, I really don’t know if Monday could take the glare of such sudden affection. It would be rather like handing an old maid a wedding bouquet on her 81st birthday. But for our own sakes, I think we ought to try. Monday is a perfectly legitimate day with all its minutes in good working <rd«*. To abandon it, if we live our predicted 75 years, is to hand over 4,400 days to nothingness. I think that comes out roughly 12 years.
