both these events, which are a must to see. For something a bit different, a ride on the Dixie Queen or Breezy might be the answer. Dixie Queen is a paddle boat on Webster Lake. Breezy is a plane out at Wawasee Airport. But, if one wants to look at something more of a historical nature, there are a few museums in the area. First, is the County Historial Museum in Oswego between Leesburg and North Webster. There is also an Indian Museum near Ligonier, at the comer of SR 5 and 33. And, of course Clarksville in North Webster. Tri-County Games Reserve on the far side of Lake Wawasee is another place one can visit over the three-day week end. Also Amish Acres in Nappanee. For camping out, there is Jellystone Park near Pierceton and Vinegar’s Bend near Leesburg. As far as recreation is concerned, there are several miniature golf courses in the area in addition to a number of nine and 18-hole courses Adventureland in North Webster is another good place to consider. And. of course, the various tennis courts available. If a nice day at the beach sounds nice, the Syracuse Public Beach at the city park and the public beach at Waubee Lake in

Milford will both be open.

But, if one wants to travel somewhere to have a good time, the Chicago Motor Club suggests a few places to keep in mind in Indiana and Illinois. For one is the Indiana Dunes National Park in Chesterton. This park offers 2.200 acres of sand dunes plus three miles worth of beaches on Lake Michigan. In Springfield, 111., one can see various historical places many of which pertain to Abraham Lincoln, past president of the United States. The Mississippi Palisades State Park in Illinois is another place recommended by the motor club. This park festures 1.300 acres and features various rock formations such as Twin Sisters, Bob Upton’s Cave and Indian Head. , Another place to go in Indiana is the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial in Lincoln City. The memorial features Lincoln's farm, an exhibit shelter and a living historial farm The Shawnee National Forest in Illinois is another place one can go. This is a 242,215 acre forset featuring rock formations in the Garden of God area There are also many amusement parks nearby where one can go. Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio and King's Island in Cincinnati are just two examples Os course, one could always just sit at home, have a nice outdoor barbeque and lay around and get a good tan. Coupon book available A book of 38 coupons is available from the Enchanted Hills Playhouse, playhouse guild members or by calling the playhouse The coupons may be used at Syracuse and North Webster businesses The book, at a nominal cost, also entitles the bearer to some free items as sell. It is the only fundraising project for the playhouse, located near Lake Wawasee Considering the fact that there are two sides to every question, it’s amazing that so many people choose the wrong side

Citizens Band radio may be biggest explosion since phone

Citizens Band radio may represent the biggest explosion in communications since the invention of the telephone. The Federal Communications Commission is now receiving over a million applications for new licenses each month. In fact, the FCC has even suspended (as of January 1,1977) its $4 fee for licensing, and has established a special zip code for new CBers: FCC, Gettysburg, Pa. 17326. If you are thinking of joining the world of CB radio, says the Better Business Bureau, consider these tips before shopping for equipment. Some people are into CBs just for fun and relaxation, while for others, their equipment is an important part of their business or lifestyle. Before setting foot in a radio store or poring through a mailorder catalog, decide first just how much you can afford to spend. Establishing a budget depends primarily on why you wish to operate a CB radio — just for the fun. for traffic reports or for a wsMo relieve the tedium of long-distance driving. It is possible to spend several hundred dollars on CB equipment and accessories However, a complete operating station with 40 channels, transceiver and antenna, can be bought for less than $l5O. You can find even a good sale on an old 23 channel set. In January of this year, the FCC authorized the addition of 17 new channels, and there have been sales on older sets, as well as offers to convert them into arwer 40-channel sets The FCC Rvarns, however, that a 23channel set is not easiy converted; it must be sent back to the original manufacturer. Beware, says the 888, of dramatic offers to convert on old CB radio. Remember, too, that a CB transmitter must be “type accepted” by the FCC. This means that the manufacturer has submitted documented evidence certifying that the converted transmitter meets certain technical standards established by the FCC. Don’t buy a CB radio without having it tested before leaving the store. Have the salesperson (if he or she is licensed) go on the air to see how far the transmitter will reach. The average distance between points is usually 10 miles The weather, terrain, and

the quality of equipment are all factors which can influence communication range. Be sure to use your call letters when signing on and off, and respect the authorized time limit of five minutes for conversations. At the store, fill out two applications for a CB license. Send the permanent one to the Gettysburg address, and use the other one as a temporary license for the 6-8 weeks it takes for processing. Remember — no money is needed to get an FCC license to operate a CB radio. There are no standard warranty periods for CB equipment. Time periods may vary from 90 days to two years. Don't let a long-term warranty be the determining factor in buying a particular set. CBers say that if the equipment works perfectly for three months, chances are slight that it will fail within the next two years. Life expectancy on the average CB radio is five to eight years. One final word from the 888 — about that handle aft CBers cherish: there’s no long-term guarantee on that, either. It’s only a matter of time before another Red Fox, Fat Mamma or Sweet Charity crosses your path. Cecil Morris assigned to Grissom AFB SAN ANTONIO — Airman Cecil D.
