Travel spots outlined for last fling
The Labor Day week end in the U.S. has become the traditional end of the summer vacation season. This is usually the last week end before school begins for millions of students and marks the beginning of the fall travel vacation period. To help Midwest area motorists and their families take advantage of this last important week end of summer, the Touring Department of the Chicago Motor Club has compiled this list of week end destinations: Galena, Illinois: Located in the far northwestern part of the state. Galena is famous for probably the finest period architecture in the midwest. Among the sites worth seeing is the Ulysses S. Grant home on Bouthillier and 4th Streets; the Galena Historical Museum, 211 S. Bench Street; Dowling House. Main and Diagonal Streets; Market House State Memorial, Commerce Street; and the Stockade on Main Street. Columbus: Located approimately 33 miles south of just east of 1-65 on Ind. 46, this south-central Indiana city is one of the most unique communities in the country. For the past two decades the people of Columbus have held advanced architectural achievement as a major interest of their lives. In so doing, schools, banks, churches, a library, canopied block-front and a golf course are just some of the many landmarks that have been designed by world-famous architects Harry Weese, Eero and Eliel Saarinen, I. M. Pei, Alexander Girad and Robert Trent Jones. Shawnee National Forest, Illinois: In the Shawnee Hills of Southern Illinois, this 242.215acre forest extends from the Mississippi River eastward to the Ohio. Os interest are the strangely eroded rock formations that are found in the Garden of the Gods area. A network of trails and scenic drives interlace the forest. Nearby towns include Carbondale and Harrisburg. Indiana Dunes State Park: Located at U.S. 12 and Ind. 49 about 10 miles west of Michigan City, this wonderful park has 2,182 acres of shifting sand dunes, and nearly three miles of frontage on Lake Michigan Mount Tom is the tallest dune in the park, towering 190 feet above the beach area and offering a unique challenge to climbers tired of the lure of Lake Michigan. Devil’s Lake State Park. Baraboo, Wisconsin: This state park in Wisconsin is three miles south of Baraboo on SR 123. Devil’s Lake is a spring-fed body of water with no visible outlet and is enclosed on three sides by the quartzite cliffs of the Baraboo Range. Located nearby is the Circus World Museum which recreates the history of the circus with collections o( wagons, an animated miniature circus display, posters, equipment and wardrobe. Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin: Covering 650.000 acres in the northern Wisconsin lake region, this vast tract is approached by many main highways. Nearby towns include
Rhinelander, Eagle River, Green Bay, Marinette and Three Lakes. Wyandotte Cave: One of the world’s largest caves this natural attraction has five distinct levels and about 23 miles of explored passageways. The massive proportions of the rooms and formations are the most distinctive features of this cave in Southern Indiana. Guided trips through the well-lighted cave are offered hourly until Labor Day. Spring Green, Wisconsin: Frank Lloyd Wright chose this farming community on the

Soil survey completed for Scott Township
The comprehensive soil survey for Scott Township was recently completed by Larry Staley, soil scientist with the Soil Conservation Service. Information about specific soils that occur in Scott Township and their properties is now available in the local Soil Conservation Service office at Warsaw. With the completion of Scott, there are now five townships in Kosciusko County with complete soil surveys. The others are Wayne, Plain, Van Buren and Jefferson. Scott Township has six soil associations (see map). These soil associations are areas within the township that have patterns of similar soils that are frequently found together The largest of the associations is the Crosier-Brookston Association • These are nearly level, slowly permeable upland soils formed in medium textured glacial till. They are excellent agricultural soils but because of slow permeability are not suited to most non-agricultural uses. Other soil associations are: Brady-Gilford Association, Rensselaer-Whitaker, OshtemoBronson, Sebewa-Homer and Muck. All of these associations are good to excellent for agricultural use, however, only the Oshtemo-Bronson association is well suited for such nonagricultural uses as home site development, schools, playgrounds, parks, cemeteries, etc Upon observing^the soil association map of- Scott Township, it is easy to see that this 'is one of the prime agricultural areas of Kosciusko

FISH AND WILDLIFE SPEAKERS — Stu Shipman, second from left, explained his work as a biologist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources to the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster, on Monday.

State biologist speaks to Lakeland Kiwanis club
Stu Shipman of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources explained his work as a biologist to the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland. North Webster, last Monday. Shipman serves area three which covers 34 counties in this section of Indiana and includes Tri-County Fish and W’ildlife Area. He pointed out that a survey was made of Webster Lake in 1976 to determine depth, type of clarity of water, temperature at different levels, oxygen supply, aquatic vegetation and species of fish found at different depths and temperatures. Slides were used by the biologist to show Kiwanians how fish are taken from the lakes for study by electric shock and traps. Every’ effort is made to keep game fish alive so that they can be returned to the water unharmed after they have been examined and data recorded. Surveys of lakes in this area show that many have the wrong kind of fish and the wrong size. When biological surveys showneed for fish control in state water the DNR uses either the selective kill for shad, the partial eradication when there are too many small fish and total eradication usually for carp and bullheads. The biologist mentioned that stocking of northern pike, walleyes and trout is being carried out in some of the deeper lakes in this area where the water has been found suitable for these species of game fish. Kiwanians were informed that ice covered with heavy snow such as the area experienced last winter will shut out light and may
cause almost total kill in a shallow lake. This was found to be the case in some of the small shallow lakes in the Tri-County
