14 young women seek fair queen title

On Saturday night, July 23, fourteen young county women will compete for the title of Miss Kosciusko County Fair Queen 1988. This pageant was established by the fair organizers in 1987 in order to qualify a contestant for the Miss Indiana State Fair Pageant and to provide a special learning experience for local contestants who wish to develop additional poise and grace. A series of four workshops have been held to provide helpful information and techniques that the girls can use to polish their appearance and bearing. Criteria for judging the contest will include evening gown, swimsuit and interview competition. Two runners-up will be selected along with Miss Kosciusko County Fair Queen 1988 by a panel of qualified independent judges. All gifts and prizes are donated through the courtesy businesses, clubs and industries. The fourteen contestants are preparing for the finals of the pageant which will be held on Saturday night, July 23, at the Sacred Heart School Auditorium beginning at 7:30 p.m. Music by Max Shively at the organ will establish the atmosphere for the event. There is no admission charge and the public is invited to attend. < *' If L -41 'F LISA ELAINE BAIR Lisa Elaine Bair is the daughter of Larry and Lee Ellen Bair, 619 Nancy Street. She is

Easy steps to beat the heat

I By MARK WEINSTEIN Staff Writer Bring on the heat! That seems to be the cry of most midwest folks during the blizzards of years past. I’m not talking about blizzards that are enjoyable — those that keep students out of school and others gulped down at area dairy treat facilities. I am talking about those that blend an incredible amount of snow with frigid temperatures. Particularly the frigid temps! Brrrrr. I get goose bumps just thinking about another northern Indiana winter. But in the midst of an intense heat wave, many area compadres seem to be complaining more about the heat — which many desire to brown their skin. What a double standard. Will we ever become satisfied with the weather we are given? Probably not. But there are several ways in which we can adapt our sensitive bodies to the extreme heat. In the following lines I will suggest ways to beat the heat and still survive — even get a tan! Os course, the best way to beat the heat is stay indoors — with an air conditioner. It doesn’t make sense to remain locked up indoors without such a convenient device. Just think of all the beauty you’d miss by staying indoors. Missing such beauty is acceptable with an air conditioner. Fans only make the warm situation inside miserable. All we’re doing is blowing warm air throughout the houses Some relief! No relief. How about soaking in ice cold water for several hours? Granted, when we step out of the tub we’ll look like a prune, but at least we stayed cool. The only other benefit to resting in a tub of cold water would be if we added ice cubes and jello mix. Then, after a couple of hours, we could have a snack. What a nice thought, enjoying a strawberry/pineapple jello treat while cooling the body. On a more serious note, staying cool yet enjoying the outdoors is more difficult than first expected. But it can be done. To accomplish this task and at the same time maintain your beautiful tan, which has cost you several hundred dollars through the tanning salon next door, spend the afternoon swimming

and drinking lemonade. Perhaps at the same time. The water will cool your skin, the lemonade, your throat and inside functioning parts. Staying cool in seemingly unbearable conditions has been the main goal of most Lakeland area residents this summer. The task has been more difficult than expected. But we still must work at staying cool. It’s our mission this summer — we have no other options. Many Lakeland area residents

have spent more time at an area beach this summer than in the past 10 years. It doesn’t make any sense to complain about the heat, just take advantage of the warmth and opportunities to keep cool. Just think, in three more months, you’ll be complaining the weather is too cold and you wouldn’t mind a heat wave — even like what we’ve experienced this summer. We are certainly fickle people, never able to make up our minds. Enjoy the heat.
