Patronage consisted of persons who “imbibed intoxicants freely with consequent behavior.” Sunday was desecrated by these persons termed “undesirables. The first campmeeting was held in August of 1893 under a large canvas tent surrounded by small tents Some permanent buildings soon began to appear When the first tabernacle burned in May of 1914. lay per sons and ministers rallied and built a new one, which was dedicated three months later Third Hotel The first hotel was built in 1904 This was replaced by the present hotel in 1927 Currently Oakwood is used extensively during the summer months for camping, conferences, workshops and training sessions sponsored by the conference. several denominations and community groups The new CALLANDER INSURANCE All forms of personal and business insurance 155 W Market Ph. 773 4103 Nappanee

Steel shot designated for area duck hunters The use of steel shot is designated areas of eleven states in the Mississippi Flyway is now mandatory, due to a new federal regulation implemented to prevent lead poisoning, which kills an estimated 2 million ducks per year. Hunters having anything other than steel shot in their possession in these areas (and using 12 gauge shotguns) will be subject to federal prosecution. “The mandatory use of steel shot has caught some distributors without the reserve they would like to have,” says Joseph D. Cloud, director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. “As a result we have found by telephone survey that only about 65 per cent of the dealers now have steel shot available for sale.” “Indiana's waterfowl season begins October 28,” continues Ed Hansen, chief of the wildlife section, fish and wildlife division of the department. “We would like to urge all hunters, who know they will be hunting in a designated area, using 12 gauge shotguns, to contact their dealers now and where possible, to buy their steel shot ahead of opening day.” The designated areas in Indiana subject to this new federal regulation are: all waters of Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Newton, Jasper, Starke. Elkhart, Kosciusko. LaGrange, Steuben and Posey Counties and within 150-yard zone of land adjacent to the margins of these waters. This includes lakes, ponds, marshes, swamps, rivers, streams and seasonally flooded areas of all types. Excluded from these provisions are the waters of Lake Michigan and drainage ditches and temporary sheet water that are more than 150 yards from the water described above. Regulations also apply within the boundaries of the following state-owned or stateoperated properties: JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in Pulaski County, Mallard Roost Wetland Conservation Area in Noble County. Monroe Reservoir in Monroe and Brown Counties, and Glendale Fish and Wildlife Area in Daviess County and within the proposed boundaries of the Menominee Wetlands Conservation Area in Marshall County. The penalty for possession of lead shot in these areas is a fine of not more than SSOO. imprisonment for not more than six months, or both. 7 w ’ Oil HORIZONS EXPANDING - Rich Stoller, well-known builder of homes and owner of Horizons Unlimited Real Estate Company, welcomes Nancy Blade as new sales manager.
