SYRACUSE PUBLISHING COMPANY, ING, PUBLISHERS F. Allan Weal her holt, Editor > THURSDAY, JUNE 4. 19M IN OUR OWN BACK YARD Within the past two months, three big expositions have been successfully staged in Chicago, the purpose of which has been to develop an interest in outdoor life. One of these big expositions was held in late April at the Sherman Hotel; the second, at the huge Municipal Pier, and the third at the Palmer House. The interest of people in outdoor life—in camping, hunting, Swimming, boating, tennis, golf, gardening, and every activity which the great out-of-doors invitea—was attested by the hundreds of thousands of visitors who avidly attended and slowly meandered through the miles of exhibits sponsored by communities, counties, and states, and by manufacturers displaying their devices and utilities contributing to the comfort and convenience of the vacationist. Attending these great exhibitions one gets a vivid picture of what vacation time means to the pent-up city dweller and to the business executive with nerves worn to a frazzle by the ex-actions of modem commercial life. The call of the great out-of-doors is an urge which the pent-up city dweller feels strongly. Every fiber of his being cries out for contact with the sunlit fields, the open road, the woods, the gurgling stream, and the shimmering lakes. He wants relief from canyon walls, from earsplitting traffic noises, from the smudge and grime of cities. The fast tempo of city life today is too great a strain on human nerves and there is an unquestioned surge back to nature and the soothing quiet of her boundless embrace. . Catering to this great and growing impulse for recreation and outdoor life, has become a great industry, indeed. Hundreds of millions of dollars are now being spent yearly by the American people for vacations. A few weeks out of doors each summer has now become something more than a mere indulgence for the comparative few—it is a commanding impulse to all alike who live in cities. Health demands that the nerves be rested and relief be had from the very severe strain now imposed upon even the average citizen who dwells in the marts of trade. I The great expositions above referred to, exemplify the extent to which wide-awake communities, possessing vacation facilities, are preparing to profit by this big traffic and draw to themselves some portion of these hundreds of millions of dollars that will be spent by vacationists. Not only are nearby communities seeking to attract these hordes °f vacationists, but far-away mountain resorts—Alaska and foreign cities—are bidding alluringly for them. Attractive literature, description of facilities at each place, is avidly sought by visitors to these expositions. Railroad and steamship companies are being besieged for information, and tourist agencies are doing record business planning arrangements for vacationists who will spend lots of money somewhere. Situated in the very heart of the greatest industrial section, only a few hours away by train or motor from a group of large cities—Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago, Detroit, Toledo, Ft. Wayne, South Bend and Indianapolis—lies Kosciusko County, Indiana, with its chain of crystal lakes stocked with fish and surrounded by Mils and scenic charm on all sides, with good roads and good hotels and potentially alluring in all respects as a great resort section, comparatively unknown to these vast hordes of vacationists in these cities, many of w hom are seeking sites for and country estates. I Our Lake Region has a big market at its very door. It has more to offer the vacationist and investor than communities in Michigan and Wisconsin that are getting this big vacation trade. The reason for this is plain. These other communities are doing a selling job. They are going after this vacation business. They are organized and have leadership. They seek the buyer and show him what they have to offer. These Wisconsin and Michigan communities as well as every vacation county are aggressive in their search for the intetrested Summer resident They go after the business. Huge signs, atttractively painted, have lately been erected on Route 6 and Route 20, blazing forth the message “WISCONSIN, THE IDEAL VACATION COUNTRY, IS ONLY A DAY’S RIDE FROM HERE.” They solicit business right under our nose. The states of Wisconsin and Michigan and the counties and communities of these states have affected a joint organization to promote the building of Summer homes and estates, and to exploit alluringly the vacation possibilities of their lake resorts. It’s a big business and these people are going after it. They would really suffer, by comparison, if only people knew about the wonderful Lake Region of Northern Indiana. THE JOURNAL hopes that means may be found by which Kosciusko County may organize its property owners and citizens into a cohesive body and set up an organization fitted to exploit our marvelous resources as a vacation country. Land that will not now produce an interest on an investment of $50.00 per acre, may be made worth $500.00 per acre as a site for a country estate. The wealth of this Lake Region may be vastly increased; much more work at good wages for workers of all kinds, may be provided, and a degree of prosperity for everybody living in Kosciusko County may be assured to us if we can find the means to organize our joint interests and efforts and make our county known to the vacationist of these nearby large cities. We have the goods. All we need is to take our country to market and make it known. It is conceivable that North Webster, Leesburg, Milford, Cromwell, Ligonier, Goshen, and Nappanee business men and citizens would be equally interested in some general organization movement of this kind, since attainment of the main objective would.be of equal benefit to them as well. Such a movement needs the cooperation of the citizens of the whole Lake Region.

MODEL TRAFFIC OFFENDER Strange things happen occasionally tn motoring. Here is the most re-i markable traffic incident we’ve notic- i ed lately. A driver from New Hampshire ww hauled in by the police before Jus tice Colvert J. Stone at Andover, Mass., on a speeding charge. The arresting officer stated his case and the judge naked the offender how about it.

“I’m guilty as hell, your honor!” he replied shamefacedly. *T was going to Boston and was in a hurry, but know that’s no excuse. The officer, I wish to add, not only did his duty but was a perfect gentleman." The Court, almost overcome, imposed a *lO fine and dismissed him with a word of appreciation and a friendly warning not to repeat the offense. Everybody was satisfied.

j HISTORY OF SYRACUSE SETTLED IN 1835 • — The following is taken from the history of Syracuse and Lake Wawasee, compiled by George W. Miles, and printed in the Syracuse Journal weekly, in 1910: (Continued From Last Week) Then came the election of Claude Matthews governor, in 1892, who shortly after his inauguration the following January appointed Phillip P. Kisrsh to succeed Mr. Dennis as Commissioner of Fisheries. The first and last we ever heard of Mr. Kirsch here was in the notice of his appointment printed in an Indianapolis newspaper. And conditions at Wawasee relapsed to about what they had been before the organization of our little association. Probably Mr. Kirsch should not be blamed, however, for his total appropriation was then, as I remember, SBOO a year, which included his salary of SSOO. Then came the election of Governor Mount, in 1896, and fts Mr. Kirsch’s successor he appointed Mr. Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, who has continued in the office, the title of which is now Commissioner of Fishiers and Game, down to this time. Mr, Sweeney? believing that these lakes and streams t>f ours are pleasure and recreation grounds that the state should protect as a city protects its parks, at once began to build up his office into a respectable executive department of the state government. Shortly we began here to benefit by his labors. As the funds given him were increased a few deputies were sent to Wawasee at intervals and some arrests were made. But the funds at his command were not sufficient that he could keep them here, and in their absence the violators grew more and more agressive and bold. In the summer of 1903 was organized the Wawasee Protective Association, with the object of inducing the cottagers and property owners around the lake and some of the people of Syracuse to assist the Commissioner in the hope that constant and effectual protection might thereby be effected. It set out its purpose to be “To promote fish culture, to protect properly the fish of Lake Wawasee and the property of the Association’s members, to secure adequate legislation, and to labor generally for the promotion of the interests of Lake Wawasee and those interested in its welfare.” Its membership dues were fixed at ten dollars annually. Charles Benner was employed as permanent warden. Mr. Sweeney commended the forming of the Association and agreed to pay one half the salary of the warden, which he has done every since. After serving three years as warden Mr. Benner was succeeded by D. R. Howser, who also served three years. The present Warden is a Mr. Peck, who was sent here by Mr. Sweeney. In 1906, in

order that it might in better manner conduct its affairs, the Association was incorporated and given a charter by the Secretary of State. Since the organization of this Association, seven years ago, our lake has had effective protection. I do not mean by this that illegal fishing has been altogether prohibited. There S are, and perhaps will always be those who will set their wits against the wardens and take the chance occasi tonally of slipping a net lake in the night and escaping. NTbw and j then one of them will be picked up and well fined, and they will do the lake little harm. But the continuous and whoesale raking of the lake with nets of former days has been unI known since 1903, nor has there been any spearing by firelight whatever since that date. And hook and line fishing has been vastly improved. I sincerely hope that the Association will be continued as a permanent institution of the lake, that there may never be danger of returning to conditions such as existed before its organization. And I want to place a tribute here to that first little band of men of Syracuse whose organisation I described at the beginning of this paper. Most of them are dead. Their names should ever be kept in honorable memory by the present Association. SALEM Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Brower visited Mr. and Mrs. Roy Pinkerton, Friday evening.

The Shetland* The Shetlands, noted chiefly for their ponlea and handknitted shawls, are also known to the rest of Britain as important fl shirty centers. Thousands of tons of herring, besides large cargoes of codfish, haddock, and whale oil, are exported annually. There are more than 100 islands la the group, but only about a third of them are inhabited. Most of them are rather leak and barren. They lie 110 miles north of Scotland and less than twice that distance from the coast of Norway. Mock’s Boat Livery Crosley Radios Johnson Moton Vulcanizing and Welding Lawn Mowers Sharpened So.
