ministrative office. The environmental education project was approved in the February meeting of the Lakeland Community School Corporation board of school trustees Following formal approval of the project, the Wawasee Future Farmers of America chapter offficers formed a steering committee.

ENTRANCE AREA TO TRAIL — At point one on the trail. Don Buhrt. Greg Kaiser and Mike Shenefield are standing in front of one of the many honey locust trees located in the environmental laboratory. They are talking about the past treatment of the wooded tract, noting the two story appearance of trees.

GLACIER BOULDERS — Ben Waldbeser. Tim Hoppes and Rodney Hollar are examining one of the glacier boulders that have been removed from nearby crop fields. These rocks are evidence of our long time ago glacier formation of soils in this area. Boulders were carried in by the ice cap and with its melting were deposited along with other materials.

Serving on the committee were: Fred Beer, president; Brian Mikel, vice president; Craig Tucker, secretary; Greg Kaiser, treasurer; Kip Tom, reporter; Harley Chalk, sentinel; Mark Vanlaningham, parliamentarian; and Edwin Washier, advisor. Steering committee members met and developed (Jans for

Phase I of the project. The following plan of action was developed: 1. Lay out a nature trail 2. Obtain, cut, route and paint trail identification posts 3. Clear trail 4. Set posts to identify specific points on the trail 5. Write a script far the trail 6. Inform school and community groups of the trail 7. Erect a sign to identify the area Presently, all steps except number seven have been completed The project has been conducted as a "Building Our American Communities Project” (BOAC). The purpose of BOAC is to get FFA members involved in building or improving the local urban and rural environment. Classes of the Wawasee vocational agriculture department have worked diligently on this project. The trail has been designed to be used by groups. Because of this, it is necessary that persons using the trail follow a few basic rules: 1. Stay on the trail! 2. Stay on the ground, do not climb! 3. Do not pick flowers, leaves or branches, or destroy any plants. 4. Rease leave the area as you have found it. Some points of interest on the trail are; the identification of various trees, glacial boulders, a root mound, the natural succession of plants and the past treatment of the area. The trail will only provide students with what they can see and hear. They will find only a wooded area in its unspoiled beauty — no neon lights, no bright signs, no loud noises — only nature’s creations.

Take Power Mower Safety Pledge

LAFAYETTE — Could you pass a safety test on power mower operation and maintenance? Every year safe and sane operation of power mowers is J urged. Still, accidents occur, mostly from carelessness or the "it can’t happen to me” attitude. F. R. Willsey, Purdue university extension safety specialist, says safety in the operation of power mowers cannot be overemphasized. Before you begin your summer yard chores, brush up on the power mower safety. Take the pledge to make this a safe summer. Post these rules in your mind: I will reread my manual on the operation and maintenance of my mower before the season begins. I will never refuel the mower while the engine is hot or running. I will never gas up or start the engine in a garage or shed. I will dear the lawn of foreign objects before starting to mow. I will wear proper clothing — no shorts, sandals, or bare feet. I will be sure that no children or pets are in the area. I will remain clear of the discharge chute whenever the mower is operating. I will never leave the mower running unattended. I will never allow children to operate the mower. I will push, not pull my walkbehind mower. Before making any mechanical checkups or repairs, I will be sure the engine is stopped and the sparkplug disconnected. If you live by these rules for safety, says Willsey, you will do
