It manufactured hot fountain heaters by the thousands. “1 used to go out and sell our products and then come back to the factory and make them," stated Ramser. While Ramser, now a resident of Athens.

Homer site for week end festival

Late summer and autumn are ideal for ‘‘mini" Indiana excursions. Foliage changing hue and rolling country roads turn even driving time into memorable trip elements, especially when en route to unusual, out-of-the way destinations. All these components and much, much more describe any visit to Homer. Perhaps best known for its springtime Festival of Arts and Crafts. Homer is alive with activities on week ends throughout the entire year. This small, Indiana community is a mecca for shoppers seeking authenticity, originality, craftsmanship and style. Shopkeepers take rightful pride in the availability erf inventories which reflect the affection of their makers. Artists and craftspersons themselves are commonly visible and hard at work on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Homer is situated on State Route 44 between Rushville and Shelbyville in south-central Indiana. Week end art shows complement time allotted for browsing through The Homer Gallery. Housed in a restored 1883 red brick school house and furnished with antiques, the Gallery specializes in productions by contemporary and early Indiana artists. Gift items, created by area craftspersons are also sold in The Homer Gallery, open 10:00 a m. to 5:00 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The Sampler has brought Food habits By PATRICIA M. BRAMAN Extension Agent, Home Ec Understanding food habits is an important factor to influencing change for better nutrition. If everyone ate what was good for them rather than what they liked, there would be no malnutrition, today. However, eating is a personal matter. For many food is important for reasons other than growth, repair and energy. To some, food is a means of relieving worry or tension; to others food is away of compensating for lack of security or love. Habits formed during early childhood also influence food choices. Children learn a basic pattern from meals served at home. As adults, many of these same foods are prepared for their families. Family members also influence the foods eaten. If most of the family does not like a certain food, it will seldom be served. Studies reveal that food likes of youngsters seem to be related to older family members, especially the father. If father likes a certain food, it is served more often and it becomes familiar to children. Culture is still another factor that has a bearing on food habits. For example, some people like bread with their meals while others prefer tortillas. Although people of all ages should drink milk, some think of it only as a suitable beverage for growing children. These are only a few factors that influence eating habits. Habits are difficult to change as one does not readily change the eating habits of a lifetime. Yet the necessity of providing an adequate diet may lead to some households changing their established food habits. ATTEND DEALER MEETING Terry, Dan, Lisa and Andrea Griffith of Griffith’s Wawasee Marina recently returned from the Cubalt Boat Dealer meeting at Harrah’s at Lake Tahoe. From Lake Tahoe, the girls flew on to Tucson, Ariz., where they were the guest of Miss Debbie Giles.
