“When is a vacation really a vacation?” Lem asked his staff one morning expecting to get varied responses. But instead they all answered, “A vacation is a period of rest from one’s work, studies or daily routines.” “Yes, of course,” Lem replied, “but aside from the standard definition have you ever stopped to think how differently people use the time labeled ‘vacation time’? For some it’s finding a fun resort with a variety of activities, for others it’s exploring new cities, states or countries seeing first hand what is written about and pictured so much. And there are still others who look forward to vacations as a time to do many things at home or nearby that can’t be completed at any other time.” “One very popular vacation is to visit members of the family away from home especially in different parts of the country. And very often the time comes when the urge to visit the homeland of grandparents or earlier ancestors becomes a reality. To visit those places and perhaps find folks who knew the family or abom them, and learn about their way of life, gives one a new set. of-tfa lues to think about and tal«e home. This can be a morale booster, as well as an enjoyable and relaxing vacation,” Lem commented. ‘‘That’s right,” Lettie agreed.

To The Patrons Os The LAKELAND SCHOOL CORPORATION I have lived in the Lakeland school district for 5 years, and in that time I have seen changes in the community as well as in the school ■ ‘ system. Due to level headed thinking, some of these changes in the school system have been good, while others have been made without researching the change fully. I do not profess to know all the answers nor should anyone else, but I do believe in listening to all sides before • aM making any major decisions. At that point the change should be made to be beneficial to whom it affects. In any kind of decision making, a person or a group of policy makers, are not going to satisfy all of their fl patrons, nor is satisfying this majority, always the way. To my way of BK” thinking, always "going" with the majority can be a cop-out. * For the past year I have attended most of the school board '/]BB meetings for two reasons. First, I wanted to know what was going on Hr 1 and second, to voice for myself (and sometimes for other people) IF praise, questions and/or objections to subjects at that time or in regard to future decisions. My growing interest in the school board has come * < * about mainly to answer questions by my five children in regard to their \ / future education. All five are enrolled in Lakeland Community Schools, jjy (BF*’ Cyndi and Lisa Clever, in Wawasee, Tim Clever, Michael and Michelle HBBfl'* w" W*' fll Redslob in Milford Junior High. My qualifications for the Lakeland School Board are: 1. A local businessman 2. A tax paying property owner 3. A very proud and already active father 4. A very concerned parent 5. A die hard believer in all around basic education Three very important reasons why your vote for me is needed: 1. A very concerned parent will watch the quality of education in our school system ' 2. A third term by Billy Little could create complacency 3. A change is needed for honesty and freshness VOTE James A. Redslob Lakeland School Board
“And another thing, with members of the family scattered over this big land of ours traveling even great distances was not a hardship until the last few years when our economy has increased by leaps and bounds. Now it is necessary to plan well ahead of time and carefully in order to stay within a planned budget.” “Yes, and we know that travel and vacation expenses have become a part of the annual budget for many people,” Lem added. “While emergencies sometimes take a chunk out of the allotment for travel, it is still possible to plan for vacations too. And we as travel agents can suggest ways to hold expenses to certain limits.” “So what you are stressing right now is,” remarked Annie Lou, “that it is important to plan vacations that will fit the client’s budget. “Yes,” Lem answered. “We as travel agents are obliged to offer the lowest fares available at the time of the request. And if these rates are not available we should look for adjustments in order to meet the client’s budget. In spite of inflation and the high cost of living, it is still possible to travel and enjoy a vacation. It is our job to assist and advise clients in making their plans and reservations. This is an important part of our service.”

'Birth order 1 plays key role

Psychologist Philip Very reports he’.has found a strong correlation between a child’s personality and whether the child was first, second or third bom in his or her family.

Very says one recent study found two-thirds of Boston's lawyers were first boms which is consistent with hard work, ambition and seriousness. At the same time, a sampling of nuns in a convent found a preponderance of third borns, the group that is supposed to be shy, sensitive and spiritual.

The house had been empty for quite some time and thieves had stripped everything of value from the home. The building was a fire hazard. (Photo by Deb Fox)
Seek flashers/gates for Syracuse area rail crossings
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company has been asked to state what priority it has, if any, for facing crossing flashers and/or gates at three crossings east of Syracuse. The crossings are on East Shore Drive at Pickwick Road, at the Wawasee Airport, and on old Indiana 13-A a mile west of the Kosciusko/Noble county line. All are presently unguarded except for reflectorized standard railroad crossing signs. In a letter to WillijnjF F. Howes Jr., vice presidentfor casualty prevention for the Chessie System, Wiley W. (Bill) Spurgeon Jr., president of the Wawasee Property Owners Association, has asked the railroad about its plans for automatic protection at the three crossings. Spurgeon noted to The MailJournal that Howes is familiar with the Syracuse area and once taught *at Purdue University. Howes was director of passenger service for the B&O in pre-Amtrak days and was helpful in getting Syracuse on the schedule as a stop for the B&O’s best train, the Capitol Limited, from 1967 until 1971 when Amtrak put the B&O out of the passenger train business.
Wed., October 29,1980 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL
Howes has been aggressively promoting grade-crossing safety on both the B&O and the Chesapeake and Ohio systems, of which Chessie is the parent firm. The East Shore Drive crossing was the scene of a car-train
