Lake County Fair Display By MRS. WM. J. VANDERLAAN
The 114th Lake County Fair, celebrating Indiana's Ses- quicentennial, was held August 20 through 27, 1966. Richard Harrigan, serving as our county sesquicentennial chairman, procured permission to put the first combined Historical So- cieties display in the 40-foot by 60-foot "Pit" area of the Fine Arts Building. Mrs. Wm. J. Vanderlaan accepted the job of chairman for the displays with Mrs. Joseph E. Brown, co- chairman.
The theme chosen was "LAKE COUNTY HISTORY AT A GLANCE." The "focal point," was an easel with the poem, "LAKE COUNTY," by Mrs. Cordie (Bessie) Kenney. "Center Oasis," was beautifully and artistically handled by Rust Nur- sery, a nurseryman in Crown Point since 1919. Societies par- ticipating, their topic for display, and department heads were:
Lake County Historical Society: "Flora and Fauna and

BROCHURE
At the request of Richard Harrigan, chairman of the Lake County Commission for the Indiana Sesquicentennial Cele- bration in 1966, a souvenir publicity folder was produced. He submitted a sample entitled "Twenty Miracle Miles."
The historical secretary assembled themes from our Lake County files that would be typical of the annals of the growth of the county. These were briefly depicted and the desire to have pen sketches rather than photographs prompted the soli- citation of assistance from Paul Georges, instructor in the art department of the Crown Point High School. Under his direction the beautiful and comprehensive folder was the fruit of the student's labor.
Mr. Georges assigned the themes as a special classroom lesson. These students each selected the subject that was preferable.
Page 1-Front, "Historical Facts and Legends of Lake County, Indiana, 1834-1966. The Three Court Houses" is a pen sketch by Judy Tullis and Donald Harrison.
Page 2-"The Land of Promise" is a pen sketch by Joann Jewett.
Page 3-"The First Church Building" by Glenn Santner.
Pages 4 and 5-"Indian Trails Through Lake County- A Map," sketch made by Donald Harrison.
Page 6-"Timothy H. Ball-School Days" by Judy Tullis.
Page 7-"The Three Creeks Monument" by Glenn Sant- ner.
Page 8-"City of the Century" by Barb Hanlon.
The artist's concept and perfection of detail is remark- able. The highest tribute is paid to these young artists and congratulations are extended with hope for success in the fu- ture in the field of art. Sincere appreciation goes to Mr. Georges and these girls and boys for the excellent contribution that they have made to our historical records.
The editors, L. E. Laney and Son, were most helpful in working out details, such as the unusual folding to avoid past-
188

ing or stapling of the pages and the brown ink which makes it more pleasing to the eye. Sincere appreciation and thanks for your personal interest.
Inasmuch as the statewide local program's expense had to be borne by each sponsor, this project became a steady source of income. Not only was the expense of printing the brochures paid for but the other incidentals that occurred. Two thous- and copies were made. A donation of twenty-five cents was asked for each copy.
The beauty of the brochure, the excellence of the pen sketches, the concise comments with each theme combined to make it a very popular souvenir during the esesquicentennial celebration.
MRS. JOSEPH E. BROWN, Historical Secretary
MEMBERSHIP
The Constitution, of "The Old Settlers and Historical As- sociation of Lake County" as adopted at the annual meeting in 1903, has been our directive. Article 3, "The members shall be pioneers and their descendants (it being understood that those are counted as pioneers who made settlements in the county up to and including 1840). Also, other citizens who have resided in the county twenty-five years."
At the September 1, 1951, annual meeting Article 3 was amended-add, "All other persons shall be eligible to member- ship as associate members." By mutual consent of the mem- bership this barrier has been lifted and anyone who is per- sonally interested in the fellowship that "history of Lake County" brings to him or her is welcome to join.
The payment of annual dues at the time of registration is the prerequisite. At present the fee is one dollar ($1.00).
The membership varies in personnel and in number each year.
The area of Lake County, when organized, was divided in- to three townships, North, Center, South. Today there are ele- ven townships. This fact does not alter the situation; the representation remains a county-wide affair. It has always uniformly covered the county although the keenest interest continues to be with the rural and small-town people.
The grand success of the centennial celebration of the
189
HISTORY OF LAKE COUNTY
arrival of the first settlers in 1834, which was sponsored by our society in August, 1934, was promoted by a committee that represented the citizens in every township.
The treasurer-registrar report for the 1935 annual meet- ing noted addresses in East Chicago, Whiting, Indiana Har- bor, Hammond, Gary, Hobart, LeRoy, Cedar Lake, Creston, Schneider, Griffith, Merrillville, and Crown Point. Former residents, who continue to hold membership who were regis- tered that day, were Mr. Kingsbury, Boise, Idaho; Alexander Fuller, Santa Ana, California; and Mrs. Jennie Wells Lehman, Winter Haven, Florida. Mrs. Lehman is our only life-mem- ber; her father gave her the membership and Timothy Hor- ton Ball issued the card.
Interest had been so keenly stimulated by the celebration that ninety-two names were entered that year-1935. The next year there were one hundred and forty-one enrolled; in 1937 a sharp deline to sixty-three and so on; like the crest of the waves of our Lake Michigan there has been a variance. The 1966 list was ninety.
From the records in "the permanent recording secretary book," the loose leaves of registration, one registrar's hard- back book, and several annual membership booklets that have been found, the following "Roster," 1934-1966, has been com- piled.
The historical secretary is aware that there may be omis- sions of names, that it may not have complete and accurate addresses, but considering that thirty-two years have passed and that the material has been scattered, the roster will be interesting reading.
Comparison of the 1935 and 1966 membership lists shows that five people maintained continuous membership during that time.
The archives of the Historical Association contain these books, records, relics, and documents that are being collected. The historical secretary and the custodian are responsible for their safekeeping.
ROSTER OF MEMBERSHIP-1934-1966
The membership list is built by payment of annual dues. This list has been compiled from the membership booklets published for the years 1934-39, 1940, 1943, and 1944; loose leaves dated 1941 and 1948; from a registration book used
