The $2.4 million operation would include facilities for breeding, gestation, farrowing and a nursery.

Fishin's never been better for the past several years at the lakes. The Peters cottage in Tioga Park is one of the best laid-out cottage sites we have seen for some time. Mr. Peters has been in the piano business in Indianapolis for 40 years and it is no doubt from this experience that his ideas of harmony come. He has built in a pond and minnow pool. Around these he has arranged flowers of all descriptions. Inside the house the sleeping rooms are arranged to face the lake, everything above the basement is convenient and tasteful.
