An invitation has been extended to the Lakeland Park 'Teen club and an acceptance is expected in the near fi^j'ire.

Active to the Last Moment Mrs. Alma Ladig, 64, of Ft. Wayne, Ind., went to her demise in a most unusual but merciful way. Mrs. Ladig was Elma Nelson's youngest aunt. While fishing with her son and his gal pal, the woman hooked into a 10 or 15 lb. muskie. She became so excited, she tipped the bo^t over and was presumed drowned. Her son recovered his mother's body but was unable to revive her. According to the autopsy report, there was absence of water in the lungs and they therefore attributed death to a heart attack! It was revealed that she was probably gone before she enteredvjthe water. According to Elma, her aunt was an active sportswoman all her life, and this story proves it! ' Mr. and Mrs.. Earl Nelson left our shores on , Tuesday morning of last week to attend the services which were held in Ft. Wayne on Wednesday. Mrs. Ladig is survived by two sons, Gordon and Ray. must accompany each registration blank. * This promises to be a memorable day at McCullom Lake.
