Milford lies directly west of Syracuse and is the fanning community of the three towns. It also claims one of the best public beaches in the Lakeland area — Lakeside Park on Waubee Lake. The park is owned and operated by the town. North Webster, host to the famous Mermaid Festival, is directly south of Syracuse on state road 13. This, the smallest of the three towns, is undergoing a remodeling project with the entire town being given a “new look” — that of the days of King Arthur and his court.

summer residents —old and new alike — are the churches whose steeples reach to the sky in silent tribute to the one who created the beautiful land and sparkling lakes of the area. Many of the summer residents become part of one church family or another while others visit several churches while they are away from their own church. Persons new to the area should make an attempt to visit the two outstanding school systems that are to be found here. Both take their name from the big lake. The Lakeland Community School Corporation is composed of elementary and junior high schools in Milford, North Webster and Syracuse and Wawasee high school which is located south of

Syracuse. Wawasee Prep is a Catholic preparatory school located on the shores of the lake. Neither of these school corporations let their buildings stand empty in the summer time. Summer classes are offered in the public school with driver training and swimming, which is taught in the high school pool, being the most popular. Wawasee Prep opens its doors to camps and clinics in the summer time. The businesses of the Lakeland area are summer orienated too with many offering picnic and sporting specials. Clothing, too, is less formal than one might find in the larger cities and towns — all in all it’s a good place to be with the approach of summer only 22 short days away.

To Participate In Seminar Father Francis Scheets, OSC., a member of the teaching staff at Wawasee Prep has been invited to participate in the 18th National Strategy seminar at Carlyle Barracks, Penn., from June 6 to 9. The seminar has two purposes: To provide representatives of the U.S. government a priviledged forum in which views may be expressed to a responsible audience and to army war college students an opportunity for assessment of views on the key issues of national security with a cross-section of distinguished leaders in many fields of endeavor — agriculture, business, education, government, labor, law, religion and the communications media. The motto of the. college is: “Not to promote war, but to preserve peack” Father Scheets will participate with the students and other distinguished guests in deliberations concerning the various issues discussed by the speakers and will attend seminars which will examine military strategy and human dimensions of military professionalism. Approximately 120 distinguished guests will join the student body of 223 officers of the armed forces in these discussions. In addition to being a member of the faculty at Wawasee Prep, Fr. Scheets is the assistant superintendent of the Roman Catholic schools of the South Bend portion of the Fort WayneSouth Bend Dioceses. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith of Milford were Sunday afternoon callers at the home of Mrs. Smith's father, Orville C. Nealis of Marion. In the evening they visited several relatives at Miller’s Hideaway Park, a campground near Wabash.
