Memorial Day and week end tours

With Memorial Day marking the informal opening of the warm weather touring season, the Chicago Motor club’s touring department has compiled this list of easy-to-reach holiday and week end destinations for the benefit of area motorists and their families. Holland, Mich. — Windmill Island city park is located in the heart of the family resort country in this part of Michigan. The park is a re-creation of a 200-year-old Netherlands country-side scene. Everything about the park is planned to typify a 1750 environment in the Netherlands. Focal point of the park is “De Zwann,” a two-century old grain mill from the Netherlands which actually operates when the wind is right Springfield, DI. — This state capital is a fascinating area for the history buff. It was here that Abraham Lincoln matured to manhood and developed the skills that later made him one of the most famous figures in American history. Springfield is the site of the only home he ever owned, his law office and his tomb. Nearby is reconstructed New Salem, the village where he served as postmaster and store clerk. Brown County state park — Located just 40 miles south of Indianapolis and 20 east of Bloomington, this state park

owes much of its charm to an early pioneer atmosphere which has been preserved within its valleys and wooded hills. Wyandotte Caves — Located in Crawford county in the far southwestern section of Indiana, these two caves are “dry” and have a perpetual temperature of 52 degrees. The larger of the two caves has five distinct levels and about 23 miles of explored passageways. The massive proportions of the rooms and formations are the most distinctive features of this natural tourist attraction. Weldon Springs state park, 111. — Located in DeWitt county east of route 51, and just three miles south of Clinton, ID., off route 10, this 120-acre area has long been popular for fishing and picnicking. The 28-acre lake of the park has a maximum depth of 28 feet and is stocked with largemouthed bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, channel catfish and yellow perch. Motors are not allowed on boats or canoes. Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Mich. — Located on Village road and Oakwood Blvd., Greenfield Village is a historical collection of homes and shrines moved here from all parts of the country. Among the homes included are those belonging to such people as William Holmes McGuffey, Noah Webster, the Wright Brothers,

Luther Burbank, Robert Frost and Henry Ford. Many other fine historical and mechanical exhibits also are located here. Devil’s Lake state park, Baraboo, Wis. — Devil’s Lake is one of the more fascinating of Wisconsin’s 8,700 lakes. The spring-fed oval-shaped lake is hemmed in by spectacular sandstone bluffs rising up to 500 feet and blanketed with lush tree cover. A complete range of recreational opportunities are available at the park. McCormick’s Creek state park — Near Spencer, this park’s varied landscape includes ravines, sink-holes, and deep stone gullies. The most notable feature of the park is a deep limestone canyon formed centuries ago by the rushing waters of McCormick's Creek. Holstein achieves J ,000 pounds of butterfat record BRATTLEBORO, Vt. - An official production record exceeding a half ton of butterfat has been completed by Mellocrest Ivanhoe Cindy 6005508 (EX-2E), a registered Holstein cow owned by R. Kline and Dr. G. W. Snider, Goshen. This is the first time that “Cin<fy” has achieved the 1,000 pounds butterfat production level in a single lactation. This record ranks among 3,880 similarly completed by registered Holstein cows on official test. The Indiana Holstein’s offical record of production totalled 26,210 pounds of milk and 1,136 pounds of butterfat in 365 days. She started her lactation at the age of eight years, seven months and was milked two times daily. Purdue university supervised the weighing and sample testing of her production in cooperation with the Dairy Herd Improvement Registry program of the Hdstein-Friesian Association of America.

Winds make flying hazardous at Cub Scout kite fly

Boys from 11 cub scout packs competed in a kite fly attended only by the brave on Saturday, May 12. The Kosciusko county contest drew participants from Atwood, Leesburg, Milford, Mentone, North Webster, Silver Lake, Syracuse and Warsaw. Pack 3736 from Madison school, Warsaw, had the most cubs in the competition. The wind, varying in velocity and direction, caused flying conditions to be hazardous — many kites were broken attempting takeoffs. Those fortunate enough to get their kites airborn, however, found steady winds. J. C. Bell of pack 3729 got his entry out 1100 feet in 15 minutes. Tracy Terrell’s (pack 3736) spectacular kite won first prize in art. Kites ranged in size from three and three-quarter to a conventional shaped entry 96 inches tall. However, awards went only to cubs whose kites flew. Mike Otani’s (pack 3736) was the smallest and Scott Kelly’s (pack 3730) the largest.
