New degree at IPFW
A new four-year undergraduate, pre-professional degree, the bachelor of science in speech and hearing therapy, is now available at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne (IPFW). Previously, study in this program involved transferring to Purdue University after three years at IPFW. “The strong regional response to this program necessitated that IPFW offer the complete program on this campus,’’ said J CALL FOR FREE COUPONS | EXTENDED COVERAGE AttUt 1 DON A- ARNOLD H Auto theft is not only increasing, it is changing. Years ago, most car thieves were joyriders who'd pick up a car and then abandon it; almost all were recovered. Today, many professionals steal cars for their parts; the cars disappear. As of the 1987 models, a federal law requires that the ID number be stamped onto 14 different parts of those cars identified as popular with auto thieves. This is expected to discourage theft. Whether o not your car is I covered by the law. you can protect it by having an identification number etched into various parts. It should be visible on the windshield and outside of the bumper, where would-be thieves can see It. Basic protection: Remove your keys; park in a well-lit spot with front wheels turned sharply to left or right; set the emergency I brake; leave car In "park" with automatic transmission, in forward or reverse for manual. Alarms and disabling devices are two ways to deter thieves, making a would-be thief more noticeable and keeping an intruder from driving the car away. Protect your car with good sense precautions — and with good Insurance. Talk to the people at: [hALL**** 0 * 1 ] Lhth A Clerk Insurance Milford, Indiana

Immigrant plants
By JIM BENSON As American as apple pie? Well, sure. Most Americans are descended from immigrants, and so are apples — from ancestors somewhere south of the Black Sea. In fact, except for the likes of blueberries, cranberries, sunflowers, and Jerusalem artichokes, most U.S. food plants are natives of other lands. Lettuce graced the tables of Persian kings in 550 B.C. and was a favorite salad of pre-Christian Romans. Cucumbers were cultivated in India 3,000 years ago. The walls of 5,000-year-old Egyptian tombs include pictures of laborers eating onions. Remains of peas have been found in prehistoric Swiss lake dwellings, possibly left on their plates by finicky Bronze Age children. Olives, usually associated with Greece and Italy, are now believed to have originated in India, along with oranges, black-eyed peas, and rice. Isn’t rice a native of China? No, but the Chinese did give the world peaches, apricots, and rhubarb Besides onions, citizens of ancient Egypt ate such familiar
American foods as asparagus, cabbage, radishes, and watermelons. Centuries ago, Ethiopians ate okra and barley and drank coffee. Many of the food plants cultivated today in the U.S. are native to the southern part of the western hemisphere. Avocados were grown in Central and South America 9,000 years ago. Corn, cacao, tomatoes, squash, peppers. peanuts, pineapples, pumpkins. and many kinds of beans came from Latin America. So did — saving the best for last — strawberries, natives of Chile. “If the United States didn't have such a good history of plant introduction and research, our restaurants would have pretty monotonous menus,” says Howard J. Brooks, who oversees
Tippecanoe Sailing Club
On Sunday, July 26, the Lake Tippecanoe Sailing Club members raced for the annual Commodore’s Challenge Cup. This race differs from the regular races of the season in which the course is altered. Instead of sailing 3 races in a 3 mile triangle at either the east end or the west end of the lake, the Commodore’s Challenge Cup race course runs from the east end qf the lake to the west and back again. Thus, the course is approximately 16 miles long. The other variation is that there are no classes in this race (Small Open, Large Open, and Hobie 16’s) and everyone is scored by the LTSC Handicap System The new Commodore Challenge Cup winner for 1987 is Vic Seright sailing his Buccaneer 240 from Leesburg. His crew was Larry Fettig from Crawsfordsville and. their corrected time was 43.21. In second place was Kirk Swaidner, Leesburg, sailing a Capri 14.2 with Linda, hisTwife, as crew. His time-war 45.54.
horticultural research for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service. Some recent imports through the ARS plant exploration and introduction program include fruits with high content of essential vitamins and minerals. One is the lychee nut, sometimes called “a strawberry with a peel," imported from southern China. The lychee nut can supply 40 percent more vitamin C per pound than oranges. Another is the carambola, a star-shaped fruit introduced from Taiwan and Thailand. Carambola is a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and iron, and carambola orchards are expanding rapidly in Florida. (Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture)

Give furniture new life with slipcovers
tßy MARIETTA F. HENRY Extension Home Economist You can give your home a lift with slipcovers. They are an economical way to create a new decor or to “spruce up” a favorite chair. If properly fitted and sewn, slipcovers can be made to resemble upholstery while retaining the advantage of easy care.; Most upholstered pieces can be successfully slipcovered. However, if the furniture has wood trim around the back, needs repadding, or has springs that need retyping or fastening, it may need reupholstering. Select fabrics with a tight weave that will not stretch or snag. Slipcover fabric must be durable, easily washed or cleaned and pliable enough to make fitting and sewing easy. Examples include: sailcloth; chintz; ticking; whipcord and corduroy. Good quality fabrics are important because it takes as much
Boones Mill 'IBO4 Brand a national favorite
Nearly two centuries ago, Daniel Boone's brother. Squire, sold stone ground corn and wheat to folks who lived within a few miles of his gristmill near Corydon. Today, the old buhr stones again grind Indiana grown corn and wheat, but there is one big difference — instead of selling to local folks, the 22 products from the mill are sold in more than 2.000 gourmet food and gift shops throughout America. The "1804 Brand" of meals and mixes takes it names for the fact that Squire Boone began construction of the mill that year, and it was to take him and his sons five years to complete it. Today, more than 50,000 visitors each year watch the miller grinding the grain just as Squire Boone did so long ago. In addition to corn meal, grits and whole wheat flour, some of the most popular products include buckwheat pancake mix, blueberry muffin mix and molasses oatmeal cookie mix. The old mill is the focal point of Squire Boone Village, which includes craft shops where visitors watch candles being dipped, oldlime soap being made in a huge kettle, and other items which are also sold nationally. A farm animal petting zoo and playgrounds delight the children, and there are picnic groves, a nature trail, and the Village Restaurant and Bakery which features fresh, homemade bread and pies. Admission to the village includes not only the gristmill, craft demonstrations and shops, but a hayride through the Squire Boone Forest and a one-hour guided tour of spectacular Squire Boone Caverns, which the Indianapolis Star has termed “An Underground Water Symphony."

time and energy to make a slipcover with poor quality as with good quality fabric and good quality fabrics will compliment your excellent workmanship. Decorator fabrics (either woven or stable knits) are recommended for slipcovers rather than apparel fabric. Long wearing fabrics for slipcovers have these characteristics: Tightly woven, fairly heavyweight. Test by holding the fabric up to the light. If a large amount of light shines through, the fabric may be too delicate. Balanced fabric. The lengthwise and crosswise yarns are similar in fiber content, size, twist and number. Firm, not stretchy. Test by pulling a sample of fabric diagonally. Resistant to snags. Long loops and long yarns on top of the fabric (called float yarns) are apt to snag. Test by running a ring or other object that tends to snag across the fabric. Controlled shrinkage. Check
The roaring underground rivers and waterfalls set these caverns apart from other caves. From the moment the visitor steps inside the entrance, the distant roar of water is heard as it enters the cave at “The Fountains of the Deep," a powerful, surging waterfall 90 feet under the earth’s surface. The water courses over three more breathtaking waterfalls before flowing out of the cave at the scenic spot where Squire Boone used the cold rushing water to turn his mill wheel. Indirect lighting highlights the dazzling display of natural formations including the largest rimstone in any show cave in America. Deep canyons have been spanned by steel bridges and elevated platforms, which permit visitors to walk through

for a label that states the shrinkage as three percent or less. If no label is found, or if the percentage is greater than three, prewash the fabric before making the cover. s Colorfast. Check the label to determine if the fabric is resistant to fading from sun, laundry and dry cleaning. Stain and soil resistant or soil release. If the fabric is not treated with any of these finishes, a spray-on stain and soil resistant can be applied. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s directions. Many fabrics are designed to be railroaded. Railroading is laying the length of the fabric horizontally across the furniture instead of vertically. Because railroading can save much fabric, if is often used for plain and textured fabrics. Before deciding to railroad fabric, make sure the design or stripe is pleasing when laid in this direction. Never railroad velvet or corduroy fabrics because the pile will run across the fabric and change the color effect.
