L' b / G - G TRAVEL TALK

"Why do you enjoy Europe so much, aside from your interest in travel?” asked members of the travel agency staff of Lem at their recent meeting as they continued their discussion of Europe. "Probably because there is so much that is memorable con- c centraled in a very compact area, and also Europe has become more and more familiar to us through international news channels," Lem replied. ‘‘And don’t forget, our interest and curiosity stems from ancestry. We find many folks traveling to Europe plan to look up towns where their forefathers lived, or where relatives now live And since World War 11 especially, there is much visiting with family and friends in different countries both in Europe and with those folks coming here ”, "For the traveler or tourist, if you prefer, western Europe is fascinating It is made up of some twenty-three counnes all within easy reach of each other and no two quite alike Each country is a world of its own and within its foundries there are many little worlds For example. France is composed of more than 20 former provinces each with a separate identity because of accent and cuisine Its the same in Germany. Italy and Spam Tiny Switzerland uses three major languages and dialects change from valley to valley ‘ ** "The history of these countries goes back earlier than the Ninth Century BC with many strongmen and emperors carving up Europe to suit their own egos All of this together with the many geographical contrasts has added to the distinguishing character of each country Consider the fjords of Norway to the port of Valletta in the Mediterranean with a wealth of mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, farmland and seasides in between Add to this the cities such as can be found now here else on earth. "For a first time visitor or one making a second or third trip, there are endless reasons for visiting Europe whether it is to take in cities with their many museums, monuments and historical interests, or to explore the countryside on guided tours or independently Sy train or car. ' Lem added "We talked about Great Britain, and Ireland last time, and just as much can be said for the countries of continental Europe.” Lem continued "Starting in the north . the Scandinavian coun tries of Denmark, Sweden. Norway and Finland hold much interest All are known for their Crayons ready . ’ /)/' here Me go.. KUto enter the Zy <MOW Cotorinq Contest AT TMf AMO** IM WA*SAW

music, art and philosophies which Identify them individually." "Denmark, the pretty-as-a-picture country is exactly that. Copenhagen is a delightful city where walking tours take in the highlights It is intimate, compact and easy to get around in. In Sweden, one starts with Stockholm, then Venice of the north. Its Noorland stretches for 500 miles north to and beyond the Artic Circle In Norway, the fjords make a dramatic setting for its capital, Oslo. And Bergen, with its historic harbor is another important city in Norway. Steamer excursions start here to spectacular parts of the fjord country. Finland is known for saunas, ultra-modern architecture. Sibelius, Marimekko print dresses and most characteristic of all. courage in the face of adversity It is this spirit that turns Finland into such a rousing experience.” > "Germany is m a claps of its own It is a land of infinite variety with its legendary quality of oldage castles, romantic river valleys, medieval villages in fairytale settings and scenery from the North Sea down through the Black Forest to the Bavarian Alps that has remainded unchanged through centuries." "This is a repeat land for the tourist Besides its well-known vacation diversions such as a Rhine cruise, traveling the Romantic Road, visiting little wine towns and exploring the fairytale country of the Brother Grimm, there is the conviviality that is very much a part erf the German way. One stops for coffee and cake at a terrace case, or a sing-along with an oompah band in a jolly beer hall " "And then there is Belgium, the Netherlands. France. Luxembourg, Monaco. Italy. Switzerland. Austria. Spain and Portugal We haven't touched on those countries yet Now wonder that Europe continues to be a favorite place to visit?"

Certain brands of fertilizer on the market today also contain weed killer, insecticide, and or crabgrass killer. These com binations raise certain questions, such as: Which one or ones do you really need? When do you neeo them? How do you know what you need? And a fourth question is. “What are the side-effects?” Yes. side-effects! Which or what fertilizers do you really need’ Probably your lawn needs some feed right now. but probably not as much as the fertilizer manufacturer indicates With the kind of spring weather we have in northern Indiana, high amounts of nitrogen (N> are almost certian lo promote fungus problems as a. result of the large amounts of soft tissue upon which the fungus grows. Therefore, the amount of actual N applied to each 1,000 square feet of turf per treatment should not exceed one pound Translated into easily understood terms, unless a soil test indicates otherwise. 18 per cent in a bag labeled for 10.000 square feet of lawn is abiut right Anything higher can lead to serious problems Weed-killer — do you really need it? Maybe; but remember that most weed killers must be applied to the leaf of the weed where it is absorbed by that leaf, and proceeds to kill the whole plant In other words the weed killer that hits the soil instead of the weed foliage does the weed no damage at all. It follows, then, that you must have weed leaves developed before you can kill weeds Consequently, weed killer used too early in the season will go to waste. It is also important to realize that liquid weed killer will almost always give better killing results than does the dry material

Insecticide — yes or no? You need it IF you know that you have a serious mole problem Because moles live on grubs in the soil, killing the grubs causes the moles to move on to “meatier” pastures You also need insecticide if you have a serious infestation of sod webworms These larvae will destroy the root system of your sod. causing the sod to starve to death. With insecticide on the lawn, what are the side effects? The insecticide will also kill your earthworms and a host of other beneficial soil organisims. all of which are important to the health of your turf. Thus, you must weigh carefully the need for insecticide. Crabgrass control? Your need for this item should be no more often than once every two years, but when it is used it MUST be applied prior to May Ist. NOTE: No later than May Ist. regardless of what the salesman or the manufacturer may say. or how special the sale price may be. Crabgrass killer does not work like the weed killer does. Crabgrass killer works in the soil, and kills the sprouting seed. If applied after the crabgrass plant is established, the results are zero Summary. It now becomes obvious that a product containing both crabgrass killer and weed killer will waste some of your money one way or the other. If applied early enough to control crabgrass, it's too early to kill dandelions and other weeds Applied late enough to kill those weeds, the crabgrass killer goes to waste. Timing on insecticide application is equally critical, and the poison itself does an enormous amount of damage and should be used only as a last resort:

It may be necessary for the town of Syracuse to construct another water storage tank, to supply the company with the enormous amount of water they will use. The proposed building will cost $750,000, and the company will have a $1,500,000 payroll here annually.

Barbee Conservation Club hears conservation report

Barbee Conservation Club members heard a detailed report on a Barbee Lakes chain Fishery Survey taken in 1980 by the Department of Natural resources. Tri-Lakes area marine biologist Jed Pearson stated there were 30 lake species consisting mainly of bluegill, sunfish, perch, croppies, some large mouth bass, bullheads, suckers, gar and more. Pearson stated the fish growth rate and size hasn’t changed much since the last survey in 1972. In the surveys, scale samples are taken and examined under a microscope to determine how fast the fish are growing and their age. There is a fish kill about the beginning of April every eyar for various reasons, one of which is parasites and diseases affecting fish, which takes a toll on the amount of fish reaching maturity. The lakes may be stacked with channel cat, iqyskies and walleye, to add more varieties of game fish for the sportsman. He requested club members help with stocking, needing to distribute the fingerlinges and 6’B" inch Walleye in the various lakes. He summarized that vegetation control is needed in some areas, although some weeds need to remain for natural habitat along each lake's shoreline. Bass fishing may need regulation since they’re becoming scare. He suggested the dye program continue. Weeds are best removed by raking, instead of chemicals, although he explained milfoil, coontail and kare weeds may be chemically treated. The members enjoyed a carryin dinner with tables appropriately decorated in a Valentine theme. Each table held a centerpiece given away a the meeting’s conclusion. Trustee Paul Thornburg reported on completed work and asked volunteers to complete the storm w indow painting. Frank Golden was recognized for his many club services and regretfully will not be able to participate as freely with his activities belied due to his 80 years of age.
