60. By GEORGE TILFORD MeCormick's Creek and Spring Mill State Parks in South-Central Indiana are getting ready for another busy round of summer recreation activities. Both parks are popular. They offer many outdoor activities, and are located within easy driving distance of metropolitan Indianapolis. Each offers swimming facilities, camping, marked scenic hiking trails, picnic areas, horseback riding, playground equipment, a naturalist offering free services and comfortable accommodations in air-conditioned inns serving good meals at reasonable prices.

MeCormick's Creek is the oldest of Indiana's 20 state parks. It was established in 1916. Extensive construction at MeCormick's Creek in 1970 makes it the most modern, up-to-date park in Indiana. Its 189-site all-electric campground is nestled among pine trees. All sites are on level ground.

Many campers, however, prefer the park's beautiful primitive camping area that can accommodate 200 more units. These sites are under huge spreading beech trees. Swimming, Diving The park has a 50-meter Olympic-size swimming pool with an offset deep-diving area at one end and a wading pool at the other. Nearby is a large environmental education center and museum with displays. The center will be ready when the park begins charging gate admission fees next month.

Spring Mill is famous for its historic pioneer village dating back to 1814. A huge, three-story grist and sawmill, built of hand-hewn stone more than a century ago, still is in working order. The NEWS Photo, George Tilford. Hill at Spring Mill Village. grinds corn by this ancient method.

Don't Quote Me Blind Head Center Of By BILL WILDHACK Thirty-four 8th grade pupils from School 86 attended last night's City-County Council meeting and after the session Councilman Roger Brown talked to them. But several of the kids were more interested in Thomas C. Hasbrook. the blind president of the council, than in the star of the Indiana Pacers professional basketball team.

They gathered around Hasbrook for an informal question and answer exchange. How did Hasbrook know where council-men were sitting and who was speaking? one Duoil asked. Wildhaek The council president explained the councilmen have assigned seats and he can tell the area the voices come from and can recognize the voices. Is his hearing more acute than that of anyone else as the result of being blind? No, he just listens harder. How does he pick out the right color of tie for the suit he is wearing? Most of the time his wife, Mary Jane, makes the selection, but he has a couple he can recognize by feel, including a large red one he bought at an Indiana University football game.

Hasbrook had torn up some cards on which he had notes in Braille about ordinances that had been considered. How does the Braille method work? Hasbrook showed them. Was being council president his only job? No, he is head of the employes benefits department at Eli Lilly Co. How long has he been on the council? Thirteen years. Hasbrook lost his sight in a Marine Corps training accident during World War II.

Indianapolis policemen in the traffic division were put on special alert today to combat pedestrian accidents and an influx of traffic violations brought on by warmer weather. Deputy Chief George Pollard, head of the city police traffic branch, said radar and cycle patrols will concentrate in neighborhood playground areas, especially during "after-school" hours between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. "With extended daylight periods and warmer weather, children are out ing and the over-all traffic business picks up tremendously," Pollard said. Eighteen pedestrians were killed in the Indianapolis city police jurisdiction last year and 578 were injured the majority of the accidents occurring during spring and summer months.

Pollard said 231 children up to 5 years old were injured in car-pedestrian accidents in 1971. A total of 166 children between the ages of 10 and 14 were struck by vehicles last year. "The warm weather has brought on new problems and dangers for children and motorists and we aim to do everything possible to prevent accidents. "Children are riding bikes, engaging in playground activities and running across streets. This is also the beginning of the ice cream trucks on our city streets," Pollard said.

Tommy Jackson, 5, 1900 block of Sugar Grove, became the first victim involving an ice cream truck accident when police said he ran into the side of a truck at Delaware and 31st on the first day of spring yesterday. Police said the boy escaped serious injury. Pollard said records show two children were killed and 18 injured in 17 accidents involving ice cream trucks in the city last year. Pollard said strict enforcement of the new ice cream truck ordinance adopted last year "plus all other traffic laws" is planned in an effort to halt accidents. "If this means stopping more motorists for violations, then we'll do it," Pollard said.

The traffic branch head also said the new ordinance involving ice cream trucks makes it mandatory for all motorists to stop their cars when "they see the flashing lights and extended the hospital at 6:30 p.m., they were told another fire had occurred in a main floor rest room at 3:13 p.m. but had not been reported since hospital officials thought it was accidental. While investigators were at the hospital, three other fires broke out at 7:44 p.m. Firemen said linen was set afire and shoved under a stairwell in the Building basement and additional linens were set afire in a 6th floor room in the Wing. Damage from the three fires was set at $1,200 but could go higher from smoke damage.

At 9:41 p.m. firemen returned to fight two more fires in a linen cart in a driveway between the main building and the linen building and in a laundry carl in the? south hull of the Children's Pavilion. A reward of $1,500 has been offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the fires. arm signal" or a stopped ice cream truck, Pollard said. Police will treat the "complete stopping for an ice cream truck in both directions" the same as a stop signal or stop sign.

Violators will be arrested, Pollard said. "Indianapolis finished first in the nation in traffic safety last year, and we will do everything possible to keep that record through stronger enforcement of traffic laws," Pollard said. Split Time For Indiana Approved WASHINGTON (UPI) Counties in the northwestern and southwestern corners of Indiana will be able to juggle their clocks legally this spring, thanks to legislation passed by the House yesterday. The House, by a vote of 322 to 7, passed a bill allowing states such as Indiana, split by time zones, to exempt only a part of their areas from daylight time provisions of the U.S. Uniform Time Act of 1966.

The bill, which passed the Senate earlier, was sent back to that chamber to correct a technical error, but no delay was expected. Indiana has been prepared since January, 1971, with a state law enabling it to act immediately to change its time observance whenever the Federal exemption became law. Indiana was one of four states which passed laws giving themselves exemptions from the Federal act which required that a state must be entirely on daylight saving time or on standard time. The others are Michigan, Arizona and Hawaii. Six northwestern and six southwestern counties are in the legal Central standard time zone, while the remaining 80 Hoosicr counties are in the East-era zone.

When the Legislature exempted the state from daylight time, it had to exempt the entire state. Thus, those counties in the Central zone that traditionally have advanced to daylight time to conform with neighboring areas of Illinois and Kentucky were legally left one hour behind the adjoining states during the summer months. The Central zone counties last summer ignored the Federal law and "unofficially" advanced to daylight time. That also was the case for seven Eastern zone counties that advanced to daylight time to conform with Cincinnati and Louisville. Like Indiana, Kentucky is divided between Central and Eastern zones.

The Transportation Department recently filed suit against the city of Evansville, charging it with violating the time act. However, the department said it would drop the suit if the bill passed by the House yesterday becomes law. The 1969 Indiana Legislature passed a bill exempting the entire state from daylight lime. However, Gov- Edgar Whitcomb vetoed it. The slate then observed daylight time for two summers before the 1971 session convened and overrode the veto.

The Central zone counties are Lake, Porter, LaPorle, Newton, Jasper ami Slarke in the northwest and Gibson, Pike, Posey, Vanderburgh, Warrick mid Spencer in the southwest. Seven Fires Set At Methodist Hospital By L. T. BROWN Ohio Penitentiary officials in Columbus sent out for hamburgers and french fries to feed prisoners when inmates who work in the prison dining room refused to prepare meals. Warden HAROLD CARDWELL placed an order with a fast-food restaurant for 4,000 hamburgers and 2,000 orders of french fries to feed the 1,900 inmates during the day.

The order cost $1,200. The evening meal consisted of sweet rolls and milk from prison supplies. Cardwell said he planned to keep the prisoners in their cells until prisoner demands seeking changes are softened. Three actresses were among several persons who, for the April issue of Ladies Home Journal, recalled their acquaintanceships with billionaire industrialist HOWARD HUGHES, who now lives in seclusion. GINGER ROGERS said, "Howard was one of the best dancers I ever knew, and fascinating to be with.

Terribly bright and intelligent. But he was immersed in his work." YVONNE DE CARLO recalled, "He even went with me while I shopped for a new suit, but he didn't like anything I tried on. So he designed a dress for me on a piece of scratch paper." JANE RUSSELL wore a special brassiere in "The Outlaw," the film that made her famous. But contrary to one recent report, she said Hughes "never designed the metal bra I wore In that picture." The last hurdle in the way of honoring CHARLIE CHAPLIN with a star on Hollywood Boulevard's "Walk of Fame" has been removed. The City Council voted 11 to 3 to approve a star for the baggy-trousered, dcrby-hatted film comedian, who left the U.S.

20 years ago, upset by public criticism of his left-wing Mrs. LUCI NUGENT says an eye disorder as a child made her belligerent, Indianapolis firemen were sent to Methodist Hospital three times yesterday afternoon and last night to extinguish seven arson-set fires that caused an estimated $4,100 in damage but caused no injuries. Thirty patients in the west wing were moved to other wards because of heavy smoke, however. Lt. Earl Williams of the arson squad said an employe of the hospital is believed to have set the fires.

A suspect has been named, Williams added, but he will not be arrested until an investigation is completed. Ten fire trucks were sent to the hospital at 4:41 p.m. to extinguish a fire in a basement clothes hamper that had been shoved into a laundry building freight elevator. A second fire also was set in an incinerator at the rear of the main building. Damage was estimated at When arson investigators went to.
