TIPPECANOE°JtfVEk PARK Work in preparation to establish a huge park for some 80 to 100 miles on either side of the lippecanoe River in five northern Indiana counties, is progress.ng rapidly, stimulated by a series of meetings being held throughout the locality. At a recent meeting in Rochester addressed by Richard Lieber ■fate conservation director, and v harles Biederwolf, president ol the Indiana Division of the Isaac >Vy.lton~Keague of America, sent.ment\§LjJ..vd that Fulton county people were eager to put this river park over immediately. The idea first developed in Fulton county, and later Pulaski, Marshall, Kosciusko and White joined in the movement. The prevails ing idea now is to have the park start at the mouth of -the river at Lak? Tippecanoe, north of Warsaw and terminate at Lake Shafer at Monticello in • White county.. As this park, taking in several feet of the marginal timber on either side of the river, would be too large to ever fence, land owners with propertv/contingent to the river, see iry tne project a splendid opportunity to plant their river ' frontrproperty and sell as lots for summer cottages. Such a park would soon assume national importance, especially in view of the fact that it is so | easily accessible to federal high-| ways.
