Another of the lakes in our area is what is now commonly known as Bonar, spelled with an “a”. J Many persons still take exception to this popular spelling because much of the land around the lake belonged to a family named Boner, spelled with an "e” and the name of the lake is named after this family. Before the confusion over the two spellings for the body of water it was known as Mud Lake. The name was given to the lake because its waters, back in those days, looked black and deep and the lake has a mud bottom Several old timers and relatives of persons who lived around the lake m the early 1900's were contacted about giving an | interview for a story about Bonar Lake but no one who was contacted seemed to feel they knew enough We did get some facts from Charles Beck, who told us about a' shallow waterway the Indians

Bonar, Boner or Mud — which

had between Bonar and Wawasee Lakes to use with their canoes. This is no longer in existence. Bonar was a popular place for the Indians to go because so many fish were found in this lake Mr Beck also told us that the southwest side of the lake was noted for its tamarack timber. Some of these trees can still be found in this area Another person. Cal Beck, told us about the large bass that were caught in the lake earlier in this century According to his father they were larger than any that could be found in Lake Wawasee. The east side of the lake, which was originally Boner property, was eventually sold to Nathaniel Crow, grandfather of Maurice Crow This side of the lake is now enjoying growing pains with many new homes built there in recent years on the lake and now lots are being sold along county road with lake privileges At the .rate things are moving and with the need for homes seemingly non-ending it probably won’t be long until Bonar will be a§ populated as its sister lakes, Wawasee and Syracuse. This has been the last frontier, so to speak, to build up in the lakes found in Turkey Creek township. Home Os Camp Bonar Lake is the home of Smith-Walbridge Camp This is a special year for the camp as it is in its silver anniversary year. A 25th anniversary reunion is

In order to take some of the frustration out of this necessaryvacation chore, the Chicago Motor club's touring department passes along these vacation packing tips for consideration before leaving on a motoring vacation: • —- Set aside one medium-sized suitcase for use along the trip. This can be packed with things needed for overnight stops. Besides travel wear, the suitcase should contain two large plastic bags - one for soiled clothes and the other for such items as wet swimming suits. — Pack your remaining suitcases so they will not have to be opened until you have reached your final destination. To prevent hard clothing creases from farming pack thin plastic bags between the articles of clothes. These bags form air pockets which cushion the effect of a tightly packed suitcase. When unpacking the suitcases, remember to keep the bags away from children — Place heavy items in the hinge end of your suitcase to prevent them from sagging to that end when the bags are picked up with their handles. If you are traveling in the car with very young children, pack the luggage on the floor of the backseat until it’s level with the seat. The addition of a quilt, a blanket or foam rubber padding makes the back seat a handy sleep and play area — Before packing the automobile's trunk with luggage, remove everything but the spare tire from the trunk compartment, and then assemble all the luggage that is to be packed The first suitcase into the trunk should be the last suitcase you

two new camps added this year and is for the teaching of fundamentals in twirling, marching and maneuvering as well as strutting, dance steps, etc. Routine material is also being offered to the novice twirler. A lot has happened at the camp since that first year. It has grown from one building housing only 12 students to 12 buildings on 55 acres and facilities for 350 campers. At first the campers were taken

Three such girls were found in Leesburg a week ago. From left is Sherri Hartman, eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hartman: Renee Berry, nine-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. James Bohlin of Lake Tippecanoe; and Kerri Hartman, seven, sister of Sherri. Sherri and Kerri’s dad. a NlPSl'o employee on strike, told the girls they would have to earn their own spending money, and they did just that. They opened their own stand: Kool Ade — five cents a glass. When a Mail-Journal photographer took this photo, business was brisk.

plan on using. Use that same priority system for the rest of the luggage and then replace the items you first removed from the trunk-jack, tools, flashlights, flares and fire extinguisher — When packing to leave a motel or hotel room, first replace the bedspread on the bed then repack your overnight case on top of it. Maids report that clothing is. often left behind because it was tangled in the sheets of an unmade bed.

The buildings are rustic in design but are modern in\ every way. \ Besides the rifle-guide-on and; the beginning twirling camp/ there are other camps. A majorette camp shows the many secrets of showmanship that add the polish to a marching band’s performance. Pompon instruction and refreshing new ideas are also offered at t the camp. < The nation’s outstanding twirling unequaled training aft twining camps. Personalized instruction is also given. A teachers course is offered with those passing a written exam becoming registered USTA teachers. The drum major camp offers unparalleled training by nationally famous clinicians while die band camp featured an equally distinguished faculty. Both junior high and high school band programs are held. The climax to the band camp is the final concert at the end of the week. The midwest cheerleader camp offers much in the way of excitement and new routines for cheerleaders. A golf camp was added to the program 10 years ago with classes being held on the camp grounds and at area golf courses. A feature of the golf camp is the handicap tournament on the final day.
