THE MILFORD MAIL

Observations Thought for the Week — A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Chinese Proverb. As the new year starts off with so much grief and sadness due to the loss of so many friends from our community, we all must wonder what 1962 will hold for us the „rest of the way. Maybe a few good resolutions are in order — at least it wouldn’t be amiss to resolve to drive more carefully, practice better health habits and to try to get more out of life than a mere existence. In the North Manchester paper the editor gives a recipe for a happy new year in his column, “Straws in the Wind.” The author is unknown. “Take 12 fine, full-grown months, see thht these are thoroughly free from all memories of j, rancor, hate and jealousy; Acieanse them completely <rgm every clinging spite; pick off all specks of pettiness and little- ' ness; in short, see that these months are freed from all the past —have them as fresh as when they first came from the great storehouse of Time. “Cut these months into 30 or 31 equal parts. This batch will keep for just one year. Do not attempt to make up the whole batch at one time as so many persons spoil it in this way, but prepare pne day at a time as follows: “Into each day put equal parts of faith, patience, courage, work, (some people omit this ingredient and so spoil the flavor of the rest) hope, fidelity, liberality, kindness, rest (leaving this out is like leaving the»oil out of the salad) prayer, meditation, and one well-selected resolution. Put irT about a teaspoon of good spirits, a dash of fun, a sprinkling of play, and a heaping cupful of good humor. x Pour love into the whole and mix with vim. Cook thoroughly in a fervent heat; garnish with a few smiles and a sprig of joy; then serve with quietness, unselfishness and cheerfulness. “Serve generously to make sure that you, your family, your neighbors and fellowcitizens will have a Happy New Year.” The year ahead promises to be a bang-up year even without National Popcorn Week which falls October 24-31. Practically every week has already been booked ,to observe something or other. The

first hint that 1962 is going to be a real sneezer comes right off the bat. Break-a-Cold Month began on New Year’s Day. Then there are the old standbys such as National Pickle Week (May 24-June 2) and National Hot Dog Month, July. Large Economy Size Week lives up to its name by running for nearly three weeks, 'January 8 through 27. National Kraut and Frankfurter Week this month sounds like it won’t be too hard to observe. January also marks Save the Pun Week and if you happen to think up a real good one send it to the Society for the Revival and Preservation of the Pun, Box 835, Grand Central Station, New York. Os better yet, send it to this struggling columnist. February is always a gloomy month and this year is no exception. National Sickroom Needs lasts the entire 28 days. For married men it will end on a pleasant-to-think-about note: Bachelor’s Day, Feb. 28. In March comes Buttermilk Bread and Cottage Cheese weeks. National Smile Week falls between the sth and 18th. It is nice that it runs two weeks, particularly if you don’t like buttermilk bread or cottage cheese. Mother-in-Law Day is in April, on the 29th, but it is offset by Honey for Breakfast Week, April 22-28. Other than being National Ornamental Iron and Personal Affairs Month,’ May is pretty dull. Not so June. It will bust out all over with social days and weeks— National Bow Tie Week (17-23), National Farm Safety Week (2228) and National Domestic Rabbit Week (15-21) among them. August will be slow, but it will have International Character Day and Spanish Green Olive Week. It hardly looks proper to observe National Wine Week (Oct. 20-27) right before Temperance Day scheduled for November 7th. It atap- looks odd and a trifle suggestive to celebrate a Salute to the Housewife Week (Nov. 11-17) and then the following week observe National Bird Cage Week. Still indefinite are the celebrations of Old Maid’s Day (June 4), National Egg Month (March), National Do-It-Yourself Week (April 16-23), International Pizza Week (Oct. 9-15) and Save the Horse Week (October 8-14) which looks just the right time for our vacation. FISH HOUSE BURNS A fish house belonging to Rev. Howard Kreider, r 1 Milford, caught fire Saturday, and burned. The house, located at Waubee lake, was reported to have caught fire, from a lantern placed inside it to dry it out. No one was in the house at the-time.

School To Be Out At Noon Fri„ Wed. Milford public schools will be dismissed at 11:15 a. m. on Friday, January 12, and Wednesday, January 17, according to an announcement made by the office of high school principal Donn Kesler. Classes are being dismissed early on Friday because of the county basketball tourney which is being held at Syracuse this week. The reason for an early dismissal on Wednesday is the end of the first semester. Exams will be given on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning. Teachers will be given Wednesday afternoon for grading papers. The second semester will begin on Thursday, January 18, and school will take up at 8:20 as usual on that day. FORMER MILFORD TEACHER WITH ARMED FORCES Lt. and Mrs. Jack E. Berlin and children are living in San Antonio, Te., ’where he is with the armed forces. Lt. Berlin was formerly a teacher in Milford high school. He will go to Korea in March and his wife and children will make their home in Tallahassee, Fla., while he is overseas. Their address for the present is 172 C Artillery Post, Fort Sam Houston 34, Tex. Editor’s Mail Bag After wandering around out here for over a week, we have decided to stay in Tucson for awhile. The weather sure is tops. Yesterday it was 76 on our 'back porch. Gets down to the 40’s at night. We have a gas fire. Visited Old ’t’ucson yesterday and today went to Tombstone and then to Bisbee. Bisbee sure is a one street town, the houses look like they were pinned on the canyon walls. Saw an open pit copper mine too. There are millions of acres of cactus. It’s hard to put on paper, the things we see. The newspapers sure play up the bad weather you are having back east. Have met a lot of folks from Indiana. Just send The Milford Mail here. Our address is: ~ Gale Green 2638 North Balboa St. Tucson, Arizona

Phil Campbell Named To Park Board
