Grow Your Own Vegetables!Vegetable gardening is a welcome addition to the

activities at Hawthorne. Have you ever had the goodfeeling of assisting nature in the production of colorfulvegetables which are tasty and healthful? The growingof vegetables is a hobby which brings great satisfactionto many people.

The vegetable gardening group has been assigned tothe "educational" category because a "green thumb" isbased primarily on "know-how." We are planning ameeting in August when a vegetable growing specialistwill give us the advice we need. In the meantime, weshould have a copy of Circular 104-L, VegetableGardening Guide, published by the Florida CooperativeExtension Service. (A copy is posted in the library at ourclubhouse.) It can be obtained free at the Lake CountyAgrlcu Iture Center on State Road 19. It can be mailed toyou. The telephone number is 343-4101.

Mr. Amos Henley, Vice President of Colonial PennCommunities, is also a gardener. He has encouraged usto make a success of this project by providing thefollowing:

1. A suitable area for growing vegetables2. The preparation of this area by tilling3. The services of a surveyor4. A stake at each corner of each individual plot5. Water pipe throughout the area with 12 hose bibs

6. The services of a truck and driver so that compostof a superior quality can be obtained at a low pricewith no cost for transportation.

Although most vegetables will not be planted until fall,you will soon see some cover crops or such vegetablesas blackeye peas, okra, and sweet potatoes.

Happy 4th of July

Hawthorne "University"High society has what is called "The Beautiful

People." Without conceding for a moment thatHawthornites aren't beautiful, it would seem that a verylarge segment of our residents could properly be called"The Bright People," a distinctive characteristic being anever satisfied thirst for more knowledge. Fortunatelywe don't have to go far to slake that thirst. While many ofour incoming new residents sometimes bewail the lossof the various household goods and bric-a-brac whichthey disposed of up north, what they did bring with themin their heads has created, in total, a self-sustaining,never-ending, well spring of knowledge and experiencewhich is freely shared.

We have, "in house," fully accredited and recognizedauthorities ina wide variety of subjects: choral singing,music, art, history, philosophy, literature, education,science - you name it! It must be a source of pleasantembarrassment to function chairmen, seeking a guestspeaker and looking far and wide, to discover that thebest authority in this part of Florida is right here at home.Even those of us who already feel quite knowledgeablein a particular field find that our friends and colleaguesoffer creative insights and new perspectives we had notpreviously recognized.

Many examples of this could be given, but a recentevent is fixed in the author's mind. At the last CameraClub meeting Paul Dillon, the new chairman, presenteda travelogue of Switzerland, using color slides. We're allfamiliar with the standard format for such a presentation- a reportory of pictures, some good, some not so good,accompanied by a monologue of commentary. Howelsec~n one do it? Paul's presentation was startlinglydifferent. The photography was excellent, as might beexpected, but the carefully selected background musicand well planned narration, pre-recorded on stereo tapeand played through the amplifier so that all could heardistinctly, gave this "show and tell" a completely newdimension. The overflow audience was tremendoulyimpressed and properly appreciative, while the camerabugs were both instructed and inspired.

IHad theMeanest Parents

I had the meanest parents in the whole world! Whileother kids had candy for breakfast I had to have cereal orbacon and eggs and toast; while other kids had a candybar and a Coke for lunch I had to eat a sandwich andmaybe an apple. And my dinner was different from thatof other kids, too.

My parents insisting on knowing where I was all thetime, you'd think I was on a chain gang! They had toknow who my friends were and what we were going todo. When I told them I would be gone for an hour, theyinsisted that I be gone ONLY for an hour or less.

I am ashamed to admit that my parents actually brokethe child labor laws! I had to work - wash the dishesmake my bed, keep my room clean and all sorts of otherstuff. I'll bet they would sometimes get into a huddle tothink of mean things they could do to me. They alwaysinsisted that I be truthful and honest!

By the time I was a teenager they were much smarterand life became even more unbearable. None of thistouching the car horn for me to come running. Theyembarrassed me no end by making my friends and datescome to the door to get me. Even though some of myfriends were dating when they were only 12or 13 my old-fashioned parents wouldn't let me date until I was 15.

My folks were complete failures as parents. I never gotpicked up by the juvenile authorities or arrested. Andwho do you think I had to thank for the terrible way Iturned out? My mean parents!

Look at all the things I missed. I never got to be amember of street gang or take part in a riot ... or athousand other things my friends did. They made megrow up into a God-fearing, honest, educated adult.

N~w I am ~rying to raise my children in the same wayand It doesn t bother me a bit when I am called "mean."

I thank God that I had the meanest parents in theworld. Idon't think the country needs a 5<1:cigar nearly asmuch as it needs more mean Moms and Dads.

One Day's Outing - Wekiva RiverOne of the most beautiful, crystal clear flowing rivers

in Florida is the Wekiva River, beginning at Wekiva StatePark about three miles north of Apopka.

The waters of this river are so clear that the direction ofthe current can be determined by the weed actionsharply visible on the bottom, and fish can be seen atconsiderable depth. The Wekiva River is 15 miles long,an excellent canoe run, and can be made in one long trip,or two segments.

Wekiva Springs, the beginning of the Wekiva Riveralso offers great opportunities for swimming, andpicnicking. There are many picnic tables, in the shade oflive oaks, under shelter buildings, and many in the open,with dressing rooms available to swimmers.

The Springs are at the bottom of a naturalamphitheater west of the parking and picnic area. It is abreathtaking view coming to the top of the amphitheater,to see the large pool of the springs below, su rrounded bytall tropical foliage. The water is crystal clear and has ayear round temperature of 72-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

After a refreshing swim, go to the picnic area andenjoy the lunch that was so carefully prepared early inthe morning, and brought along in coolers.

The launching area for canoes is about 1;4-mile downriver, and can be reached by returning to Wekiva SpringRoad and driving east %-mile to a sign marked WekivaSprings Marina, which is in about 1;4-mile.The launchingfee is 50 cents, and rental for a canoe is $7.50 per day.You must make your own arrangements for return of thecanoe.

The Wekiva River's crystal clear water has a currentwith an average speed of about 2 miles per hour, andnumerous islands, tributaries, and lagoons make the tripvery interesting. The banks are lined with a mixture ofhardwoods, palm trees, and holly bushes, and in somespots, the trees and foliage form an almost solid canopyover the river, giving a tropical jungle effect.

The river varies from 20 to 300 feet in width. The firstportion of the river up to highway #46 is easy canoeingand takes between 3 and 4 hours of easy paddling. Thelast five miles, however, are more challenging, as the

river narrows and has many twists and turns. Near theend of the trail the river again widens and the currentslows down.

Wekiva Springs State Park can be reached fromHawthorne via 441, but a more scenic route takes #48east to #19, then north on #19 to #448. Take #448 east to#441, to #436, and on 436 east to Apopka. There are bluesigns leading to Wekiva Springs.

To see and experience everything, go to the Park andSprings first, and then to the Marina for launching.

It is advisable to make this outing and river trip duringthe week, to avoid the weekend traffic. Availability ofcanoes during the week is no problem.

Most of the Wekiva River is unchanged from the dayswhen the Indians roamed the land. A trip on this river isto enjoy nature as it has been for a long, long time.

Then and Now, a tableaux presentation depicting eras ofAmerican History, was a giant success. The above scenerelates the gold rush era with two "prospectors" panningfor gold. Below, a couple of Hawthorne flappers do theCharleston from the roarin' twenties.

Why Choose An Adult Community?Much has been written, both pro and con, about

choosing to retire to an adult community rather than to amixed community. Obviously, the needs and desires ofpeople will differ, and the answer to this question will bean individual one, but many of us prefer an all-adultcommunity.

Some of the reasons advanced for such a choice are:

1. Similar age, background, and experience - it's notnecessary to explain references to many things,such as victory gardens the "great" Depression,shoe coupons, etc.

2. There is no competition to "make it" with socialprestige, Cadillacs, country clubs, etc; no "keepingup with the Joneses" no social climbing, etc.

3. We all come from "somewhere else." We startalmost from "scratch." Most of us have left lifetimehomes and communities, and have children andgrandchildren scattered in many areas of thiscountry or abroad. We all miss our families and oldfriends, but we have, perforce, learned to livewithout the companionship of our children. Most ofus, indeed, confess to preferring a less hectic wayof life. We love to see our progeny, yet, after a visitwith them, we settle back into our pleasant routinewith some relief.

4. If our financial or health situations are not preciselywhat they were, we have no set pattern of life -cocktail parties, restaurant entertaining, and anelaborate social life to which we feel obligated toadhere. We are free from a social life which it maybe impossible or undesirable to continue; there areno "norms" as to what is "done" and what isn't"done." We need not be ashamed not to entertainon the lavish scale to which we may have beenaccustomed. This is not as easily done in a mixedcommunity or back in the "old hometown."

5. Nobody is interested in what we did before,whether we were "big shots" or "little shots," orinbetween - only in what kind of person each of usIS NOW. Former bank president or collegeprofessor and former clerk or farmer can share amutual enthusiasm for chess, or a keen competitionon the shuffleboard courts, and learn to know eachother as human beings, and not as "labeled"people.

6. We can pursue our own interests. Many of uscontinue a lifetime involvement in manyorganizations and/or hobbies, but many arediscovering new and exciting spheres of interest inwhich we never had time to indulge. Challengesabound, if we want them. If we want peace andquiet, and NO challenges, that's available too.

7. Companionship is easily accessible with peoplewho share our interests without driving many milesto chat or visit.

Every age has its deep concerns and priorities; everyage has a different pattern of life. In an adult communityyou mingle with those who share your present interestsand concerns. No longer are we involved in PTA, or inchauffering our children to dentists, dancinq classes,choir rehearsals, etc. We have done that, and our role insociety is different. It can be as exciting as we wish tomake it - but it IS different. Salut a la difference!

-Helen M. Gardner

'Barnyard Golf'Every Saturday morning at 9 a.m., a dedicated group

of men pitch horseshoes at the "Courts" located next tothe shuffleboard area. To those unfamiliar with thefinesse needed to cause the shoe to ring the peg, thegame is more often referred to as "Barnyard Golf." Thegroup got off to a slow start, but as passers-by stoppedand commented "Gee, I haven't pitched a horseshoe in20 years," they immediately became recruits, andquickly found that after a few wild pitches, they hadregained their confidence and ability.

The game was played by soldiers of ancient Rome,who brought it to England. From there, the sport came toAmerica before the Revolutionary War, and by the timethe war had ended, it was popular throughout the newnation. Originally the game had few standard rules, andit was not until the early 1900's that formal rules and

before, and some of these people are top performerstoday. This magic created the "Fun Bowlers League."The next year, there were three Hawthorne Leagues,including the "Snowbirds" who summer in the north andbowl a shorter season here.

Ten Pieces of WoodTen wooden pins and a ball. Roll the ball down a 42-

inch wide lane and try to knock over ten pins. That's allthere is to bowling! In the June issue of PENN NOTESyou read about shuffleboard. Bowling and shuffling arethe two most popular Hawthorne sports, with hundredsof residents participating.

Hawthornites bowl for fun, moderate exercise, self-competition as well as team competition, and the ever-evident desire for self-improvement.

Organized bowling began at Hawthorne in 1974,withnot quite enough experienced bowlers to fill the 121anesavailable in the old Leesburg Lanes. That was nopermanent problem, though; Hawthorne made its ownbowlers. Several experienced men trained a number ofmen and women who had never touched a bowling ball

Is A Ringerclubs were established. Since that time, it hasprogressed throughout the United States, and theNational Horseshoe Pitchers' Assn. of America, togetherwith the Canadian Horseshoe Pitchers' Assn., are thegroups that protect and promote the uniform rules andregulations.

The game is popular wherever there are people, and isfound in most retirement communities as well as inmunicipal parks and local neighborhoods. It is notlimited, and can be enjoyed by young and old, men andwomen, with inexpensive and convenient equipment,and it promotes good fellowship as well as friendlycompetition.

Although the rules of the game and the layout of thecourts are as strict as those for shuffleboard, horseshoepitching can be fun even if two stakes are pounded intothe ground 40 feet apart, and four shoes are available.The winner of each game is the first player (or team oftwo) to score 21 points; ringers count as 3 points each,and if no ringers are made, the shoe closest to the stakescores one point. A ringer topped by that of an opponentis cancelled out, and the point then goes to the next shoenearest the stake.

Originally, regular horseshoes were pitched, but nowspecially made, standardized pitching shoes are used.The game shoes are similar to the regularshoe, with heeland toe calks, and the balance, temper and hook designare carefully determined to promote maximum success.

Horseshoe pitching at Hawthorne is an organizedactivity, with a Chairman, Co-Chairman and SteeringCommittee, and makes up in enthusiasm what it lacks innumbers. The Club urges any or all residents to visit thecourts to try their skill and be introduced to a real fungame.

-Bill Britton

In 1976, four leagues were organized to bowl at Mt.Dora which had one-third more lanes. However, onegroup preferred to remain at Leesburg, and became theHawthorne Rebel League.

The '77-'78 season will see a return tothe much larger,new facilities now under construction at Leesburg. Atthis time (early June) the Chairman of HawthorneBowling, Rob Kranzusch, anticipates five leagues atLeesburg and three at Mt. Dora. New bowlers are alwayswelcome - and solicited. Just sign up at the ClubhouseTriangle and you will be contacted before the seasonstarts in September. Balls and shoes can be rented atmodest rates at the alleys, so you don't need to purchaseany equipment.

"Some" isn't enough for all, though. There is a fullHawthorne Summer League at Leesburg, and some avidconverts bowl in the Leesburg Senior Citizens Leaguealso. Some people come into now-organized bowlingjust to sharpen their skills.

Announcing e • •The arrival of six bouncing, playful Red Fox puppies at

100 Aspen Trail. They were observed originally in earlyMarch by the Leon Carpenters, the Louis Batzes, and theHarry Dotys of Jacaranda Drive.

America's most famous naturalist, John Burroughs, isquoted back in 1865 as saying 'There's no prettier bit ofnatural history upon four legs than the red fox."

"Peanuts" a female red fox vixen became anestablished resident two years ago, when she escapedfrom a local modular home workman who had pickedher up on a country road on his way to Hawthorne, earlyone morning.

"Peanuts," and "Jimmy," her male companion, arenow raising six little puppies, after a gestation period ofabout 63 days. The pups were blind for 10 days afterbirth, and apparently the freezing temperatures ofJanuary 19th through 21st, did not affect the birth andwell being of this fox family. Speculation sets the birthdate as February 22nd. Weaning takes place about sixmonths after birth, so the puppies will soon rely on otherfood they and Peanuts gather. They will remain as afamily for about a year.

Originally only five pups were noticed, but in earlyMay under a bright full moon, six romping puppies werediscovered playing with their parents on a lawn opposite108 Jacaranda Drive.

The Red Fox is mostly a nocturnal animal, belongingto the dog (Canidae) family. The apparent natural brainpower of a fox like "Peanuts" is advanced, and she hasthe capability of solving problems by deductivereasoning. "Peanuts," in her travels about Hawthorne,has passed within whispering distance of many aresident. As she walks and lopes alonq with inimitablegrace and ease, she appears unconcerned and deep inher private meditation, but she is evidentlyreconnoitering with an eye to a food handout, eitherdomestic or wild.

Red Foxes do not hibernate; they are active in winterand summer, even in the coldest latitudes. They aretypical fur-bearers, and have dense inner layers of rathershort hairs which form an insulating covering whichhelps to retain their high body heat. The hair and fur ofour foxes are also associated with glands which supplyan oily secretion for water-proofing ofthe animal body.In the hot summer days, dogs as well as foxes do aconsiderable amount of panting which aids them toreducing body temperature.

It is said that though a fox family leaves its cozy homeduring warm weather, it may return to the same winteraddress year after year.

Concert Series PreviewThe thi rd concert season appears to be a red letter one

with a well balanced variety of programs. Bob Lenox andan equally dedicated committee have already put inmany hours setting up the six Sunday afternoon eventswhich should delight all music lovers. We'll give you abrief preview of the treats in store, but you can expect aspecial bulletin, done in detail, to be delivered to you inSeptember.

On October 30 the outstanding Concert Band fromFlorida Southern College in Lakeland will present twogroups of music, one Dixie Land and the other a wideassortment of concert music.

November 20 will bring two professional performersof the highest caliber; Constance Gottschal k of Orlando,an accomplished concert pianist, and noted concertviolinist Nurham Arman.

The December date has not been settled put will bringthree familiar faces from Leesburg. Don McLaurin fromLake Sumter Community College has been on Channel4 as a trumpeter soloist using both the small piccolotrumpet and the regular size. His wife Judy will be thevocalist, and Thomas DeWitt, the superior organist atMorrison United Methodist Church, will complete thetrio.

A return delight will be to see the vivacious MariaTunicka conducting the renowned Florida SymphonyOrchestra on Jan. 15. This year the group will be largerthan the 30 members who came last year.

Youth holds sway on Feb. 19 when the40-voice MiamiBoy Choir arrives. The boys are interviewed at age nineand continue to sing through age fourteen. Overnighthousing will be needed, so if you would likea lively time,get your offer in early to get the age boy you prefer.

March 12 ends the series with a performance of thehilarious opera Strauss Die Fledermans with anaccompanying ballet. They bring their scenery andspecial lighting, which will make it a gala afternoon.

This year's program is an ambitious one, andnaturally, more expensive. The success of the seriesdepends on selling at least 600 season tickets at theextremely low price of $6.00 per ticket. Since thelisteners benefit from this sale rather than paying moreat the door for each concert, it should be over-subscribed. Show the committee your appreciation oftheir generously given time by getting your seasontickets as soon as they go on sale.

Volunteers in the Larger CommunityThis is the last installment on Hawthorne volunteers

who give of themselves not only inside the communitybut in many directions in the larger community.

Most of us are familiar with Rotary Clubs and theirphilanthropic activities. Many Hawthorne people areactive participants in the Leesburg Rotary Club whichassumes responsibility for a number of humanitarianprojects such as scholarships at Lake SumterCommunity College, activities for young people in highschool and in Boy Scouting, as well as contributions tothe Rotary International graduate college studentexchange program. Our dedicated Rotary people are:Paul Garrick, Earl Kauffman, Roland Mernitz, PaulNewman, Gordon Reber and Clarence Stetser.

Under the area co-chairmanship of Charles Johnsonand Charles Griffiths, the Lake County United Way fundcampaign raised $7,154 this year, to support elevenworthwhile agencies under the umbrella of United Way.These agencies include Lake County Chapter of the

As time ~oes on, no doubt other activities will beadded to this impressive list of work in the largercommunity by the people of Hawthorne. No mention hasbeen made, indeed, of the many hours of volunteer workdone in the churches in the surrounding area, and noone can say that we have "retired" from the world aroundus, content simply to enjoy ourselves. We do have fun,but we have not forgotten responsibility to ourcommunity.
