Fern Fran3 and Mildred Harris of Union and Lois Smith and Helen Weider of Lincoln returned from a motor trip to Spirit Lake and Lake Okoboji. Their cottage (The Queen Fish eries Nest) was located at Spirit Lake, a third of a mile from Temp lar Park. Two weeks were spent boating, swimming and sight seeing. We were granted all privileges at Temp lar Park where we played Tennis. gold, shuffle board, etc. One of our sight seeing trips was a tour twenty miles into Minnesota. We stopped at Jackson. Minnesota for lunch. The most thrilling ex perience was a speed boat ride in the "Teaser" on Okoboji which traveled one mile a minute. This ride was taken two days before the terrible boat collision of the "Thril ler and the "Zipper." All together the trip was a grand success and we certainly swear by the Chevrolet which required only 1 4. SO worth of gas and oil for mile age there and back.
