Offers modern conveniences
A lazy way to cool it
Scenes like these become more frequent with every warm day, be it a weekend or school day. Sun worshipers do more than just swim when they come to the lake, including scuba diving, sailing, fishing and water-skiing. Kansas offers many reservoirs that both residents and travelers take advantage of.
Lake set for fun
By TERRY WILLIAMSON Kansan Staff Writer
More people are flocking to nearby lakes since the very beginning of spring weather. There they can take advantage of a wide range of facilities offered.
Vassar State Park at Pomona, usually called Pomona Lake and located 27 miles southwest of Lawrence, has its share of crowds. On an average weekend with good weather, around 20,000 people come into the park, Ben Streeter, park manager, estimated.
Pomona has a good variety of facilities geared to all aspects of summer fun. For campers in wheeled vehicles, service and dumping stations for sanitation are provided. The largest marina in the state is located there with such operations as boat docks and boat and ski supplies.
Other activities include scuba diving, sailing regattas, stocked fishing and life guarded swimming beaches. The beaches are open from June 1 thru Sept. 15.
"We look at the park as a city," Streeter said. "We have fire and police protection and also sanitary water supplies."
The Kansan's own staff photographer, Ron Bishop, Lawrence sophomore, knows first hand about Pomona Lake. He was a lifeguard there last summer. His 44 hour week included duties of watching the beach, enforcing the rules and keeping the beach clean.
People look at parks as a place of green grass, he said. But they are recreational areas needing tremendous upkeep. For this reason the park charges $1 or $5 a year for a permit for use of the facilities.
An interesting facet of life associated with the lake is the Kansas State Prison Honor Camp located seven miles from the reservoir.
Inmates from the camp do maintenance work at the park, Bishop said, such as mowing lawns and cleaning the bathrooms. They helped out quite a bit when the lake rose last July 4.
"Most are being released within in the next year," he said, "or are due for a parole."
Bishop said that campers from Lawrence, Topeka, Kansas City and some vacationers traveling across country stopped in at the park. They said they would gladly pay fees because they didn't have to worry about things being stolen because the park is patrolled.
"They said they had been in other states where they had to pay $1.50 a night and the facilities were not as good," Bishop said.
A convenience offered by the park for those who don't have a trailer is the Kiva camp. The camp consists of tents on concrete slabs with electricity provided. They cost around $4 a day.
With so many varied facilities and activities, anyone is bound to have fun at Vassar State Park at Pomona.

Miniskirts might plunge, taking necklines with them

NEW YORK (UPF)—Dropped hemlines mark the end of the "instant youth" era of fashion for women.
And what's in store for the women who found their fountain of youth in minis during the 60's? "Clothes that make the

At his fall and winter showing, Silverman reminded buyers from across the nation that for one thing, when hemlines plunge, so do necklines.

The same, he said, for black—always in long and lean dresses. Mrs. Simpson agreed, showing lots of black—from wool jersey to crepes. The long, lean line predominated in both collections.
Whereas Mrs. Simpson showed boots all through the day, Silverman took it easy on boots. Silverman said the shoe and stocking era is coming back big.
Newest in the Simpson collection were wide-leg black pants with jackets made from real Persian rugs. To accent this Indian look models wore headbands tied across the forehead and trailing down the side.
For the woman who wants to look tantalizing, Mrs. Simpson showed sexy long kimono-silhouetted gowns featuring colorful Japanese prints.
