She loves to collect different kinds and sizes of churns and even has an old milk separator. And she says she absolutely loves to cook. She added that the family has a giant reunion almost every week during the summer months, providing the opportunity for the community to get together. One of her favorite dishes for those events is broccoli casserole. It is a favorite, she added, because it Is very simple, very good, travels easily when it Is necessary to drive to another location, and it keeps for a long period of time (if there is any of It left).

She said it is also good after it cools down, and besides all of that: it contains several dairy products.

One would think, and rightly so, that being named Indiana dairy princess would make for some busy and interesting times. And that has been true so far for Lee Ann Elliott of Brownstown Rt. 2.

But if you really want to know how hectic and Interesting life can become for someone when that kind of thing happens In your life, ask Lee Ann's mother, Lavonda Elliott. Lavonda said she never stopped to realize how crammed with activities her life really was until her daughter was named Indiana dairy princess at last year's Indiana State Fair at Indianapolis. And activities this spring have been Just an Inkling of what summer activities will bring. Lavonda and her husband Francis have been married 28 years and have three daughters who, even though all are young adults ready to meet the world on their own, have continued to make life anything but dull for mom and dad. Janette, 26, works at Noltlng's Super Value; Kim.

22. is employed at the Cut 'n Curl Beauty Shop and Is an emergency medical technician (EMT) with Med Aid In Brownstown. and Lee Ann works at Jay Groub, attends classes at Indiana University Southeast, and is the Indiana Jersey princess. Mom said Just figuring out where to go to buy groceries Is a major decision. Lavonda said her schedule Is usually a "mad rush." Travels for one family member or another have taken them all on a mad tour for several months now, she added, and they have learned that It is amazing Just how small the world really is.

And they feel It will be even smaller for their children and grandchildren. They have attended an icecream crank-off at Indianapolis, the Hancock County Farmfest, the Indianapolis Zoo, the rookie luncheon at the Indianapolis 500, and last week time was divided between making Ice-cream for a fund raiser for Riley Children's Hospital and Dairy Month activities all over Jackson County. Lavonda says it is all "Important to us because the dairy is our Income." The family milks 1 20 cows twice a day. every day. There are 110 Holsteins and 10 Jerseys.

She is the director of women's programs for the Farm Bureau organization and is the District 10 women's leader. She serves 12 counties in southeastern Indiana, and each county has a women's program for her to plan. There are three meetings annually. She also attends the state women's meetings. This year's program was "Education and Promotion oi Agn-- culture." She and Francis are members of the Indiana Dairy Cooperative Association, and she is a member of the Mid-States Board of Direc- tors for Women, and treasurer for the Mid-States group.

She said they host lots and lots of school tours through the dairy, and that one particular group recently was composed of 67 kids and 34 adults. She said even grandparents like to take the tour and usually "ask the most questions." She added that regulations, paperwork and the constant enactment of new laws make the dairy business much more complicated than It has ever been and that with OUR CD'S AND OUR IRAS WEDpLEVILLE By MILDRED BLAIR 1 Seems there is so much sickness, I will not try to name them all, the Lord knows them and what their illness Is.
