~ few people to swear off drink

enough to make anyone take a
second look. BY now, we all
know it was caused by smoke
from the forest fires in Alberta,
Canada, but there were some
amusing guesses before the real
reason was announced. Monday
dawned clear and bright and be-
fore sunset, Indian Summer had
set in and most of us were chang

Along with Frank and Pauline
Parman and Charley West, we

SO rough that Miller took the boat
around the east end of Put-in-Bay,
instead of the usual western shore
trip. After the chilly trip, the
hot clam juice really hit the spot
as did the chicken, clans, yams,
and all the extras. The Clam

The $3,505,50O budget request
for the Department of Corrections
includes a $4,000 item to begin
fencing, now that the Shirley
hiwhway passes the Lorton reser-
vation.
The only other funds proposed
for capital outlay at Lorton are
$104,000 to start construction Of a
control center building; $4,000 to
restore the fuel-handling equip
ment, and $500 for the purchase
of 20 acres of land in the reserva-
ton.
The District will receive ap-
proximately 100000 from the
Federal Government for the care
of Federal prisoners in the Dis
trict correctional institutions.
The Corrections Department es-
timated the institution population
next year will be 1900. The daily
