Hobbies are fun — Everett Weldy has over 1,000 interesting bottles

In three years time Everett Weldy of r 2 Syracuse has acquired a collection of over 1,000 interesting bottles. Some of these bottles are antiques, others have been selected for their uniqueness alone. His hobby has resulted in a “fun collection” from which he derives much pleasure. Weldys wife, daughter and two sons also enjoy the hobby. On the night our staff member visited the Weldy home, she was one of about 25 members of a historical group — The Stone’s Hill Historical Society of Ligonier. Several of the members were bottle collectors and all were genuinely interested in

antiques. The Weldys showed their visitors Everett’s collection which is found in the familyhobby room. A large portion of the room, located about the garage, is lined with cases and shelves that house the bottles. A beautiful fireplace makes a perfect setting for the antiques. All this, Mr. Weldy has completed in his “spare” time. In browsing through the collection our reporter noticed a few Jim Beam, Ezra Brooks and Avon bottles, many old wine, liquor and whiskey bottles, and a few old\pop bottles. Some are small ana dainty, others fat and pudgy. The tallest bottle is almost fou\ feet high. Mr. Weldy told the group a large hand blown

Vacation preparations

Before our astronauts blasted off from earth on their historic flights to the moon, thousands upon thousands of hours were spent in careful preparation. Each minute of their trip had a purpose, and every conceivable problem had an emergency plan to rectify it. Now possibly your vacation this summer won’t be as extensive as a trip to the moon, but whether your trip is for a few months, a few weeks or simply a few days, you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time for preparations before you leave. As with most things that are enjoyable and worth doing, the anticipation and planning are sometimes half the fun. And planning vacation trips is something the entire family can do together. After deciding on the place that meets your time and budget, the Chicago Motor Club suggests you consider these planning items: Auto Maintenance — Check brakes; adjust wheel alignment; balance tires; inspect the radiator and cooling system; change oil and filter; lubricate; check, clean or replace air filter; inspect battery and cables; examine windshield wipers and adjust headlights. The Traveler — Be sure each driver has a valid driver’s license and is covered with minimum amounts of automobile insurance; use traveler’s checks; include Chicago Motor Club-AAA credentials; credit cards; necessary medications and prescriptions; sports equipment; beach accessories; dinner clothes; travel clothes; camera and film. Glove Compartment — Have available evidence of car ownership; insurance and registration; first aid kit; flashlight and batteries, maps and tissues. The Trunk — Maintain a fire extinguisher; good spare tire; jack; tire changing tools; flares; v-belts for fan, generator and power steering; and coveralls for on-the-roaJ maintenance. The Children — Bring pillows; books; writing materials; games; a deck of cards; light snacks; thermos of water; and washcloth for quick clean-ups. Before leaving on a trip it is a

bottle was only one-sixteenth of an inch thick. One of the most interesting bottles in the Weldy collection is beautifully formed with a neck that appears to be twisted. It is divided into four sections in order to contain four different drinks at the same tire e. Mr. Weldy said he noticed the bottle while browsing around an antique shop. He had made Up his mind to purchase the bottle but walked around the shop to look at other items. By the time he got back to the four-way bottle; the owner offered it to him for half the sum. He immediately made his purchase. The men who see the collection are interested in a Mexican wine jug and glasses to match. This is one of the items that is not an

good idea to give your traveling plans, auto license number and car description to a friend, neighbor or relative in case an emergency occurs and you must be notified. In packing your car, be certain not to overload the trunk. An excessive amount of weight behind the rear wheels has a tendency to lift needed weight from the front wheels making steering more unreliable. Also, avoid overloading a cartop carrier. Adding weight to the top of an automobile changes a car’s center of gravity increasing the possibility of sway when changing lanes or rounding curves. An important aspect of planning your trip is selecting the route that will enable you to see all the things you want to see and stjll let you arrive at your destination at a reasonable hour for checking into accommodations. It helps to plot Sur course on a map, marking familiar exit and entrance ramps on expressways, or expected turnoffs on smaller roadways. Before leaving on your trip make certain you have stopped all home deliveries including milk, mail and newspaper deliveries. Also prior to leaving provide care for pets, house plants, lawns and gardens. The day you leave you should make certain you have locked all doors and windows, pulled the electrical plug on all radios, televisions, electric clocks, air conditioners or heating units. If your stay is lengthly, it is a good to disconnect the refrigerator after removing all perishable items. Besides saving electricity by following these hints, you are also insuring yourself against accidental fires caused by defective cords, lightning, or a power surge through the electrical lines. And finally, to deter burglars or vandals while you are away, purchase automatic timers for several lamps in your home. By planning your vacation in advance, and by following these suggestions you can eliminate many of the problems usually associated with vacations, and have pleasant memories of your trip for many years to come.

antique but was added to the “fun” part of the collection. There is also a crockery beer bottle from Germany. Valuable old Mason canning jars are admired by the women. Both a one-quart and two-quart jar, made of crockery were completed with a lid that had to be selaed with sealing-way. That was great-grandmother’s method of food preservation. Mr. Weldy also has a cheese cover of crystal that is over 100 years old. Mr. Weldy explains many of his bottles have been found by buying boxes of items at auctions and sales. He then takes the boxes home and rummages through them, keeping the

Noble county art show to be held during festival

The Noble County Art association is sponsoring their sixth annual art show during the Chain-O-Lakes festival, June 19 through 23. The show, by Noble county residents only, will be held in the Saint Marks Lutheran church at Albion. The location is on Orange street, one block north of the courthouse. All work will be received at the church on June 15 and 16 from 1 to 5 p.m. Helpful hints for boating safety Boats can be as dangerous as cars if you dai’t know what you’re doing. So if you plan to take a boat out this week end, first learn its capacity and don’t overload it. Make sure your craft contains life preservers for each passenger — life jackets are an excellent idea for small children and non-swimmers. Tell your passengers not to stand up or change seats in a small boat while it is under way. Never jump or dive from a moving boat — you could have the breath knocked out of you or hit floating debris. Show respect for other boats, swimmers and fishermen by not moving in too close to them. Never buzz a dock, wharf or anchored craft, and stay within easy range of shore on large bodies of water. If your boat overturns, stay with it. Few people are in good enough shape for a long swim in mugh or cold water. Your best chances are that sooner or later someone will pick you up. If you have a boat and even if you think you know how to handle it, get a safety booklet and study it. It could save your life. LAKELAND LOCAL Mrs. Jerry Hedington and son Jay Lee of Tippecanoe visited with her aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Miller on Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Thompson of Bremen were Saturday afternoon callers at the Miller home.

desirable items. He said in spite of teasing him about bringing home the “junk,” his family enjoyed helping sort and clean up the bottles to be displayed. He picked up a gold and crystal wine bottle to show the visitors from the historical society and said, “What is a collection for but to bring happiness.” To the astonishment of all present, the bottle turned out to be a music box. Besides his bottle collection, Mr. Weldy has a large assortment of antique tools displayed on peg board on one wall of the hobby room. He has a number of lanterns, large crocks and spools and introduced his visitors to a shoe stretcher, a buggy jack and a potato planter.

Prizes and ribbons will be awarded in oils, acrylics, watercolors and pastels. Prints, drawings, crafts and sculpture will also receive prizes. There are special awards for Noble county scenes. In the past it has been the custom to include other counties in this show. Limited space has made it necessary to limit the show to Noble county residents this year. The public is cordially invited to view the exhibit. MISS MILFORD — Members of the Milford Lions dub are sponsoring Teresa Beer, r 1 Milford, as Miss Milford in this year’s Queen of Lakes contest.
