Poo/ buying tips: spring, summer swimming at fall in winter prices

In most areas, late fall and'uinter is not the time to hang your clothes on a limb and go swimming. However, for those who can afford it, this time of year may be the most practical time to have a swimming pool constructed at your home, the Better Business Bureau points out. . Fall and winter months reflect "down time” for swimming pool contractors, and these builders often offer substantially-reduced installation prices in order to keep their crews busy during the off season. Finding an honest contractor should not be difficult. Most swimming pool builders are now bonded. Some are even licensed by the state in which they do business. Check with your local 888 for a reliability report on a Specific company. While you’re shopping for builder, you should be aware of three popular sales ploys that could signal trouble: • Bait and Switch. The advertised pool that is “on sale” suddenly is not available or the salesperson says it’s inferior. The salesman/ builder does have a more expensive model that he will "deal” on. • Be a Model. Suddenly the boss chooses your home and proposed pool site as a “model” for the neighborhood. You, of course, receive a "reduced price" for your participation in his “selling” efforts. • The Pressure Cooker. You are “forced” into signing a contract in order to get the “better” price offered "for this week only.” No reputable pool builder or salesman will rush any customer into signing any contract. A good, professional pool contractor will make building and owning a swjmming pool easy for you. He will insist that you help in planning the pool and picking out the equipment and options that serve your needs best. He also will handle the

building permits, arrange a schedule, finance or help finance the cost of the project, and provide you with a checklist of maintenance and other service procedures. Contracts And Financing Once the swimming pool details have been worked out —size, location, style, landscaping, and so forth—you should: 1. Sign a contract that specifies the date the work will start and the date the work will be completed. 2. Have in writing the total cost of the completed pool and the financing arrangements. Also know the exact monthly payment you will be required to make. 3. Have a listing of every item of cost for materials, labor, optional pool equipment, landscaping, fencing, and other pool components required by local codes or homeowner association rules and regulations. Swimming pools are not inexpensive, but they often afe considered a “home improvement” by money lenders and become a “permanent facility” of the home. In short, the pool is an improvement and can be sold as such if you ever decide to move. Therefore, financing may be arranged at terms you can afford. Be sure to shop around for a lender. .Also include on your budget sheet the insurance for the pool. You probably already have a homeowner’s policy; a rider might be attached to it saving you some money. Find out, too, how much the pool will cost you in property tax assessments. You can get the tax information you need for local taxing authorities. This way you won’t receive any surprises when you receive your tax bill in the mail.

Indianapolis; city full of interesting sites

President Reagan’s recent trip to Indianapolis focused national attention on our state capital. Yet many Hoosiers are not familiar with many of the interesting sites to be found in that city. Built in 1893, Athanaeum was designed by Kurt Vonnegut, father of the famous contemporary science fiction novelist. Located at 401 East Michigan Street, the house features beautiful stained glass windows, hand-carved woodworking, a mosaic designed tile floor in the lower lobby and statues. The Athenaeum houses the Indiana Repertory Theatre, the state’s only resident theatre and displays photographs of all past productions. Located at 2500 Cold Springs Road, the Carmelite Monastery is the home of a group of contemplative religious women belonging to the Carmelite Order whose members are dedicated to prayer as a form of service. Visitors are welcome in the chapel and foyer. The Indianapolis Children’s Museum. 300 N. Meridian Street, is the largest children’s museum in the world and is the third oldest children’s foundation in existence, founded in 1925. Exhibits in the museum are a delight to children and adults alike. A spectacular layout of working toy trains, a 19th century log cabin, a simulated Indiana limestone cave, an operating turn-of-the century carousel, an 1890’s firehouse with hand-drawn

Honest Tony's used-house lot Would you buy a used-house from Tony Lozano? Many people have, at Lozano’s 17-acre Stockton, Calif., lot, where dozens of homes wait for buyers after being rescued from the wrecking ball. While the rest of the housing market is reeling from high interest rates, Lozano’s used-house business is booming: he can buy homes — ones that otherwise would be demolished for condominiums or other developments —for less than a SI,OOO dollars, and sell them to eager buyers who think they’re a steal at $15,000. Lozano handles financing and moving the homes to new sites himself, but he admits the houses are best suited for seasoned handymen who can make repairs themselves. Still, “used homes are as good as new homes,” Lozano says. “One guy’s castoff is another guy’s castle.”

and motorized fire fighting equipment, a 55-ton Reuben Wells locomotive alongside a Victorian railway depot, a gigantic Tyrannosaurus and other replicas of prehistoric beasts, an “emergency of man gallery” and a 2,600-year-old mummy are just some of the many exhibits. A new performing arts theatre brings drama, music, dance, puppets, films and other entertainment to museum visitors. Craft classes, hikes, clubs, fairs and special exhibits are another part of the adventure for everyone who is, or ever was, a child. The newlyopened Science Spectrum exhibit allows children to perform many scientific exhibits. The City-County Building Observation Tower is open to the public daily, free of charge. This 28-story structure of modem glass design, located at 200 E. Washington Street, is the center for local government. A panoramic view of the city is offered from the observation tower on the top floor Music and theatre lovers can relax and enjoy an evening of entertainment midst the functional grace of Clowes Hall architecture. Cited by “Fortune” magazine as one of the 10 most exciting buildings from 1962-64, the nine-story Bedford limestone and concrete hall seats 2,200. Acoustics are among the finest in the world and back stage facilities can store four full opera productions at one time. Clowes’ cultural agenda runs the full gamut of theatrical and symphonic productions, from classical and popular music to musicals and symphonic productions, from classical and popular music to musicals, opera and ballet. If the weather is warm when you visit Indianapolis, save some time to visit Crown Hill cemetery, located at 700 West 38th Street. Covering 550 acres, Crown Hill is the fourth largest cemetery in the US. An oblong, white columned tomb marks the final resting place of Hoosier poet, James Whitcomb Riley. Among other notables buried there are Benjamin Harrison, 23rd president, three vice presidents, outlaw John Dillinger and many leaders in the fields of commerce, education, medicine, religion, sports and the arts. The Gothic Revival Waiting Station has been restored and is presently used as offices by the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. Founded in 1863, Crown Hill has been designated a National Historic Place. Fort Benjamin Harrison, located at East 56th Street and Post Road, is open 7:30-4:30 p.m. daily, free of charge. Retreat ceremonies at 5 p.m. daily lend a tone of precision to this operating Army post, the Administration Center for the US Army. Tours usually cover the US Army Institute of Administration, Defense Information School, barracks. Bachelor Officers Quarters and Finance Center, including the Finance Museum where foreign currency and old pay ledgers are displayed The home of the nation's 23rd president and the only president elected from Indiana, President Benjamin Harrison Memorial Home, has been designed a National Historic Landmark. Sixteen rooms have been restored, and the third-floor ballroom serves as a museum where many artifacts of the Harrison’s personal and professional lives are exhibited. Original furnishings. White House china used by both Harrison and Lincoln, Mrs. Harrison’s watercolors and paintings by famous Indiana artists are on display. Harrison celebrated for his "front porch” campaign of 1888, and his home was the focal point of political activity in the United States for many years. He died in his home in 1901 and is buried in Crown Hill cemetery.

Christian Character . Th* Apostle Paul wrote to the people ci Thessalonka and encouraged them to keep on being a good example to other believers. The believers tn Thessolonica hod become followers of the Lord. Even though they had "received the Word in much affliction-, they did so with joy of the Holy Ghost". Poul says, for from you sounded out the Word of the lord". Their Christian character was not confined to only the places in that region, for Poul soys, "in every place your faith to God's word is spread abroad'. (I Thess. 1 6-8) We need more people today who are willing to let their Christian character be on influence in all places. People who hove and ore giving up the old sinful way of life ond ore now serving the living and true God.

It happened ... in Syracuse

14 YEARS AGO, FEB. 23,1972 A number of boys of Boy Scout Troop 28 at Syracuse and committee member James Hann, set up equipment Saturday morning at the northwest comer of the main square in Syracuse to prepare a demonstration in completion of National Scout week and to show what is done on a camp out. During the Thursday meeting of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce, presided over by president Chet Elder, the present chamber membership was a main issue as was the possibility of a new trash can ordinance for the area with a litter and clean-up phase. Mr. and Mrs. David Milbourn of Goshen and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Clevenger, Syracuse, have returned from a week’s vacation at Lehigh Acres Country Club motel, Florida. 29 YEARS AGO. MARCH 1,1962 Noble C. Blocker, vice president and director of the State Bank of Syracuse, formally announced his candidacy for auditor of Kosciusko county on the Republican ticket subject to the May Bth primary election. Dennis “Deke” Firestone will be the. dealer-operator of the Pure Oil service station which will open for business on South Huntington street in Syracuse Saturday, Mar. 3,1962. “Deke” will tune up your car, repair your tires and do any miscellaneous repair you need.

Health Services hopes to make measles a thing of the past

If all goes as the Indiana State Board of Health wishes, measles will be a thing of the past by October 1982 for Indiana

residents. As part of the US Public Health Service Center for Disease Control’s effort to eliminate measles in the United States by this date, the state board of health has stepped up its effort to ensure immunization of all susceptible children Measles, whose proper name is rubeola, is also known as hard measles, red measles, 7-day, or old-fashioned measles. It is characterized by a red rash that lasts for about six days and coldlike symptoms which may appear about four days before the rash. Because other rashes often may mimic a case of measles, a physician’s diagnosis is the only sure way to determine if someone does truly have rubeola. Rubeola is a serious disease, not to be considered a simple childhood illness. Some of the serious complications that result in one of every 15 cases are 'Red' means green for publishers "Reds” isn’t just a hit at theatres. It’s also improving business at bookstores, where there’s new interest in American radicals John Reed and Louise Bryant, whose lives are portrayed in the film. Two books about the couple are set for release this winter, including the second-printing of a Reed-Bryant biography that received little attention for the first time out. And, some sixty years after it was written, three publishers are marketing edition’s of Reed’s “Ten Days That Shook The World," his account of the Russian Revolution.

Kissimmee placed first in the Riedel tournament at the Kissimmee All-States Tourist club. Presentations were made by Cart Riedel. 30 YEARS AGO, FEB. 22.1952 Miss Barbara Bowser and Miss Cynthia Frevert will leave Syracuse, Friday, Feb. 22 for Sarasota, Fla., where they have been signed for a year’s work with the Ringling Bros. & Barnum Bailey Show (the greatest show on earth). These girls will be in Sarasota approximately three weeks and then will go to Madison Square Garden in New York City for a nine week engagement. From there they will go to Boston and then Philadelphia. After working west they will be in Chicago and will go as far west as Los Angeles. San Francisco and Hollywood. The girls may, if they wish, go on the South American tour. They will be home around Dec. 26. A team from the Syracuse Lions Club defeated the Millersburg Lions, there Tuesday night, 16-10, in a donkey basketball game, before a packed house. The game was a thriller from start to finish — the thrill coming when a player was thrown off his donkey.

The state’s campaign has been successful. In 1981, there were only nine documented cases of measles in Indiana. This is down from the 94 cases of the previous year. This is even a better drop than the 77.3 per cent drop experienced nationwide. All Indiana residents can do their part to help eliminate this dangerous childhood illness. Be sure your children are properly immunized against measles. The vaccine is usually combined with rubella and mumps vaccine (MMR) and given at 15 months of age. It should not be administered earlier, as the vaccine may not be effective. It is one of the vaccines required by state law before school entry. Contact your physician or county health department concerning rubeola immunizations. Academic restrictions on hold

The federal government may be backing away from requests that American universities start policing their foreign students, to make sure sensitive technological information doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. The presidents of Stanford, MIT, Cornell and other universities complained this winter, after the state department suggested that schools restrict technological research by foreign students — especially those from eastern bloc countires. But now the National Academy of Sciences—which had been distributing the state department requests — says it will drop the matter for at least a month, while the university president's complaints are considered.

third time within a month the henhouse at Arthur Keefer’s place, narrowly missed having their legs blown off by a charge of shot from a shot gun which was rigged to go off when the door was opened. Keefer lives on Mrs. Sarah Younces farm, on the Benton road just beyond Sloan’s comer. He lost 32 chickens when thieves first broke into his chicken coop' Six more were taken on a visit about a week later. So Keefer set a gun. On Thursday night about 7 o’clock, Mr. and Mrs. Keefer heard the gun go off. He saw two men running around the straw stack. He pursued them down across the marsh, taking two shots at them. County officers made eight arrests, last Monday and think they have broken up the gang of chicken thieves in the southern part of the county. Sixty-five attended the birthday party of the Grace Lutheran Church Wednesday evening. The party celebrated the church’s birthday and the birthday of members during the past year.
