Mrs. Maurice Snyder comes from long line of quilt makers

Mrs. Maurice (Donna) Snyder of Syracuse, the mother of seven children ranging in age from 14 to 21 (and quickly adds she also has a 21-month-old grandson), comes from a long-line of quilt top makers and lovers. She is shown in one of the pictures here when placing her one-dozen quilt tops on the line to air this spring. Donna said her greatgrandmother, America C. Lott, grandmother Della Rockwell of Columbia City, and mother Neva Rockwell and herself all worked on a number of quilt tops over the years. The three other ladies were all school teachers. All quilt tops were handmade and machine stitching was not used. Patterns were traded back and forth and the last of the tops was made in 1937 or 1938. One of the tops bearing an

eagle was pieced in 1900 and has a piece of material which the family kept from a shirt which family members had made for the grandson of John Quincy Adams. Among quilt tops in the possession of Mrs. Snyder are the crazy quilt, rock garden, wedding ring, stair step, bow tie, and Sun Bonnet Sue. Mrs. Snyder added she has a daughter Neva who plans to become a home economics teacher. A sophomore at the present time, Neva has attempted some quilt making and will be helping her mother this winter on a quilt top. : Donna says she has also attempted a little quilting (which is considered an art by this writer) on smaller articles.

Muncie reporter thinks the Lakeland area is nice place

(EDITOR’S NOTE: The following item appeared in a recent issue of the Muncie Star. It carried the title “After the Ball close-home beauty? Give me the Lakes!” by Bob Barnet. We thought it interesting enough to share since it concerns the Lakeland area.) The letter came Friday from old friend John Graham and there was an invitation to attend the 22d annual reunion of the Camp Crosley Alumni Association. Regrettably, I can not attend but the letter touched a dusty button somewhere and this Crosley camper of a long time ago was promptly assailed by the bell-clear siren song of the northern Indiana lake country. A great many folks in the Muncie area have spent happy hours and days and weeks in the clean, wholesome area anchored by Warsaw, Syracuse, and North Webster. Scores on the Kosciusko county lakes and hundreds more visit the area each summer as single-day and week end visitors who seek a pleasant land within easy driving distance. Camp Crosley on Little Tippecanoe and Camp Sing-a-Long on Tri-Lakes have brought happiness to thousands of Muncie-area young men and women under sponsorship of the Muncie YMCA andYWCA. Creation of the big mqn-man lakes on the Wabash, Mississinewa and Salamonie rivers was expected to detour many central-Indiana recreation seekers from the natural lakes of northern Indiana and perhaps this has been the case. There is still a lot of tourist action in the old towns and on the old lakes, as this newsman and his lady found in a recent visit to Kosciusko county after an absence of two years. We found startling changes in the North Webster “skyline,” brought about by the cheerful adoption by North Webster citizens of a Camelot theme to match the new Palace of Sports. Sportscaster Chris Schenkel and banker Homer Shoop found willing hands to help in a project that brought the community million-dollar publicity. It was not surprising. North Webster people always mixed friendship with the hardhustling energy of a tourist-oriented town. They are nice people and have always been nice people who were willing to tell a man on what lake the bluegills were biting while they sold him a card of snelled hooks and a couple of bobbers. It isn’t that way everywhere. Air And Water .And Almond Duck! We were impressed by the great number of new all-weather homes in the three lake communities and on the lakeshores. Despite the present dip in the recreational vehicle business, the north-state area continues to be the national capital of the industry and many who work in the plants at Elkhart and Goshen and other communities have built lakeside homes that are show places. Warsaw and Syracuse always were clean, wide-awake cities. Both have attracted new industry. Syracuse long since established its place in history as the home of that noblest of all Chinese restaurants, Foo and Faye’s. It is still advisable to call ahead for reservations. Wawasee remains the most beautiful of all Indiana lakes, no matter what Bloomington boosters tell you about Lake Monroe or Lake Lemon. Biggest of the Indiana lakes. Wawasee is closely followed in scenic beauty by the two Tippecanoes, the two Chapmans, Webster, Papakeechie and Dewart. Sechrist Lake is the brighest pearl in the Barbee chain and is surrounded by handsome homes. It is on this lake that Mr. and Mrs. Jim Miller of Muncie maintain a vacation home worthy of a picture essay in “Better Hones and Gardens”. Jim reveals that the Sechrist cottagers’ association recently authorized a weed control project that will make a lovely lake even

more attractive. There are cottagers’ associations on nearly all the lakes and their energetic activities do much to make the area more desirable. Application of sensible land-use and wildlife practices is everywhere apparent. Those who would pollute the lakes find themselves quickly in trouble This intelligent activity, coupled with the nationwide increase in land and home values, has brought about eyepopping changes in the price tags of lake property. A Muncie man, touring the shore of Webster Lake and recalling the years when a nice lake cottage could be bought for $15,000, told his wife that he would like to stop and ask the price of a moderate-sized but well-kept lakefront property that bore a “For Sale” sign. The owner turned off his lawn mower long enough to inform the Muncie visitor that the property was listed for $65,000. The Muncie man’s wife told me that her shellshocked spouse did not say a word until they were on the Huntington bypass at which time he said “God almighty!” A Very Nice Place For those not fortunate enough to own lake homes in the Syracuse-North Webster-Warsaw triangle, the Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area northest of North Webster offers almost limitless opportunity for wholesome land-and-water recreation. Operated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the 3,900-acre preserve includes scores of small lakes and miles of scientificallymaintained wildlife habitat in which hunting is permitted on a controlled basis for waterfowl, upland game and birds and deer. Every lake system is provided with a free boat launching site and a family needs only a car-top boat, fishing tackle, and the normal state fishing licenses for a day of pleasure. This newsman and former Muncie man Bob Weeks, who now lives on Ridinger Lake, found family groups on a number of lakes in a recent morning visit. Casting for bass with a spectacular lack of success in tiny Spear Lake, Bob and I watched a man and his wife and two youngsters fishing for bluegills along a shoreline shaded by giant J oaks and hickories. “There’s a family having a lot of fun,” Bob said. “They’re catching five-inch bluegills and stuffing them down in that sack and wouldn’t trade places with Aristotle Onasis. Tonight they will be telling their neighbors that those five-inchers were as big as their hands. Tomorrow the guy will go to work and tell the boys on the production line that he caught bluegills as big as a dinner plate. “When they get tired of battling

those five-inchers they’ll go back to the launch area and climb up on the hill and spread out a picnic lunch on the grass. “They’re having one hell of a good time and they aren’t spending a dime and they’re getting something back for their license money and their tax money. They’re also out here in the fresh air and maybe somebody in the boat will hear that redwing blackbird singing his head off over there in the cattails. Maybe the one who hears the bird singing will look around and say, ’Hey! This is a nice place!’ “He’ll be right, too. It is a nice place.” Revenue sharing allocations announced WASHINGTON, D C.— Distribution of revenue sharing funds for communities in the second congressional district has been announced by Congressman Earl F.
