Learning Indiana history must no longer be restricted to reading textbooks and reviewing relics in ' glass-covered cases. At Historic Fort Wayne, studying early nineteenth century structures and activities has been transformed into “sensing” the lifestyles of frontier Indiana. This living history presentation is inhabited by interpreters, who spend their days as soldiers and civilians in 1816. Accurately costumed and equipped with details about frontier Fort Wayne residents, these guides demonstrate daily chores and military assignments while chatting with guests about the ways of the past. All visitors are encouraged to roam the "Old Fort” at their leisure and without restriction. The structure’s hand-hewn timbers are there to be touched, as are tools primitive to the contemporary eye and the natural ingredients used in crafts demonstrations Frontier military life is reflected through the crackling ignition of muskets and cannon with the smell of gunpowder filling the air. Military drills with synchronized marching and resounding commands are everyday maneuvers reminiscent of a long-forgotten fight for survival.

The Fort is a reconstruction of the last frontier army post in Indiana. Three separate forts stood on the site, the first and most simplistic built in 1815. Research indicates that the last fort, as depicted today was perhaps the most sophisticated all-wood fortress ever built in North America. Eleven buildings constitute the complex, including two blockhouses, and most of the structure is built of hewn logs. Housed within the Fort bararacks is a collection of original Indian and military artifacts. Additional displays trace the history of Fort Wayne and the Old Northwest from the Ice Age to the abandonment of te post in 1819. The remaining ten buildings are furnished in accordance with records from 1816, the year that Indiana became a state. Historic Fort Wayne is open from 9 a.m. to 6 pm. through August. In September and October. hours are 9 a.m. until 5 p.m During the coming weeks Historic Fat Wayne’s presentation of living history will be supplemented with two special events.

Considerations important in preparing youngsters

School days are almost here again for millions of American youngsters. With the approach of the fall term, the American Medical Association reminds parents once again there are health and safety considerations that are important in preparing the small fry for another nine months of studies. The AMA recommends a thorough health examination for five and six year olds, who are starting school for the first time. Your physician will know what to do His examination will cover all aspects of your child’s health, and will encompass hearing (to make certain he can hear the teacher) and vision (to make sure he can see the blackboard). It is better if this examination can be made and booster immunizations given a few weeks before school starts. School boards in some communities require a health exam for beginning students. Many schools also require certain immunizations against infectious disease. Your doctor will know of the requirements. Most doctors feel that four or five thorough health examinations during the school years are sufficient for healthy youngsters. These usually are spaced at the start of the first year, about the fourth grade, about the seventh grade, at the ninth or tenth grade and upon graduation. A thorough examination is important if the child is participating in school athletics The doctor should be told that junior is going out for football, so that be can look for any health problems that might be heightened by rough contact sports. In the excitement of the first few days of school, the small child may forget all of the safety warnings you’ve been teaching him. Each parent should make

certain the child knows how to cross streets and intersections en route to and from school. He should know that crossing guards are there for his protection and obey them. He should know about proper deportment on the school bus. He should also know the rules of bicycle safety. Freezing ‘ ■>, . . corn By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec. With the busy sweet com harvest upon us, wouldn’t it be nice if it could be washed, dried, put into a plastic bag and frozen to eat for next winter? In this freezing process there are no short cuts. It is still important to include the blanching step. Unblanched vegetables, including all types of com, will toughen, have an off-flavor, and after several months in the freezer begin to darken. This is even true for com-on-the cob, since the cob contributes to the off-flavor. All foods contain enzymes which help the fruit or vegetables to ripen, and then to deteriorate. This is the reason for the rule — two hours from garden to freezer or canner. To freeze com on the coby select ears with plump, tender kernels. Husk ears, remove silk, wash and sort according to size. It is important to sort them according to size because the blanching times vary for different sizes so the heat may penetrate to the center of the cob Heat in boiling water: small ears — seven minutes, medium — nine minutes, large — 11 minutes. Cool in cold water, drain, and wrap in moisture - vapor - resistant materials.
