It Happened In . . . Milford, Indiana i Items Taken From The Files of The Milford Mail
By Dorothea. Kerlin 25 YEARS AGO, MARCH 4, 1937 Miss June Kline, who is teaching at North Liberty, spent the week end here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cleo Kline. With Leo Anglin as auctioneer, 17 basketballs were sold during the noon hour on Thursday and Friday. The balls brought $21.24 and this money goes into the athletic fund of the school. Carl Duncan has purchased the vacant lots on West Catherine street, owned by Harry R. Phend, where he will erect a new residence this summer. During the last week of February the weatherman gave us a variety of weather, ranging from April showers to blizzards. On Sunday morning of that week the; temperature stood at 50 degrees, | and by evening it had dropped 30 degrees. Then on Wednesday, another dash of winter arrived with temperatures dropping to 10 degrees above zero and followed by a light snow.

Price, spice and everything nice! Who ever thought a car that saves like this could have so much sizzle? Chevrolet engineers, that’s who! Liveliness and luxury for a low, low price were exactly what they had in mind to begin with. And they began from scratch with a whole carload of ingenious new ideas designed to give you more for your money. That spunky 6 with gas-sipping stinginess is just one example.

35 YEARS AGO, MARCH 3, 1927 Everything is all set for the sectional basketball tournament which will be the first sectional ever held in Milford. The seating capacity of the gymnasium has been enlarged so as to accommodate approximately 1,650 persons. Latin students of the Milford, Pierceton, Sidney, Leesburg and Warsaw schools met in Warsaw on Saturday for the Latin contests. Tltase representing Milford were Keith Jones, Everett Closson, Edith Speicher and Grace Wenger. Clarenge Price, local electrician, assisted by George W. Ralston and Joe Ruch, completed an electric scoreboard last week which they installed in the community building. Each one of the men. built a certain part and when assembled and tried out, the whole thing worked perfectly. Miss Elizabeth Schori, who has spent quite a length of time in the home of Mrs. Estella Shaffer, will assume a position in the Elgin, HL, watch factory. 40 YEARS AGO, MARCH 2, 1922
E. P. S. Wright has purchased of Harry Phqtid, the comer lot directly north of the new Methodist church on Catherine street. Mr. Wright intends to erect a new house on the site in the near future. v )

Guests present were Mrs. LaVina Erick, Mrs. Vera Miller, Mrs. Edna Stiffler, Mrs. Cecile Felkner, Mrs. Bernice Barnes and the Misses Harriett DeFries, Gwen Caris, Trella Caris, Martha Groves and Eloise Pinkerton. 50 YEARS AGO, FEB. 22, 1912 The juniors of the Pierceton high school were royally entertained in honor of St. Valentine’s Day on February 16 in the IOOF hall. They arrived at 7 o’clock and were escorted to the hall by Gordon Hammond and Russell Ogden where the Milford class was already assembled. The hall was beautifully decorated in hearts and red and white colors. After a short program was rendered the guests entered contests in which Robert Nichols and Miss McCarter were the winners. At a late hour a twocourse luncheon was served. Red carnations were given as favors. The guests were then escorted to the car by the Milford class. C. R. Brittsan, Milford undertaker, was compelled to go to Chicago early Saturday morning to secure the body of Casius Clayton, who died Friday morning. Mr. Brittsan left Milford Friday night and went as far as Warsaw, leaving that city at 4:20 a. m. Saturday, and arriving in Chicago at seven o’clock. Frank Bordner of Warsaw took care of the Milford store during Mr. Brittsan’s absence. Syracuse Calvary EUB Church Holds World Service Day Service Mrs. Ralph Loose was in charge of the World Service Day service held Sunday, February 18, at the Syracuse Calvary EUB church, south of Syracuse on SR 13. World Service Day is held one day each year and the Women’s Society of World Service has charge of the service. Mrs. Vernon Palmer led the scripture reading. Ushers were Mrs. Opal Nolan, Mrs. Muriel Sharp, Mrs. Gene Kitson and Mrs. Phillip Strieby. Mrs. Garth Haines was the oragnist. The missionary speaker for the service was Miss Elaine Gaffer of Sierra Leone, West Africa. Miss Gaffer is a teacher and she spoke on her work and the needs of Africa. An offering was received for missions at home and abroad. The children choir under the direction of Mrs. Max Workman sang a few numbers. TAXPAYERS HAVE AN EXTRA DAY WASHINGTON (UPI) — Taxpayers will have an extra day in which to file their federal income tax returns this year. Because April 15 falls on a Sunday, the deadline for getting your tax returns in the mail will be midnight, April 16. You don’t have to wait for the deadline. Returns may be filed at any time prior to April 16. If you have a refund coming, the sooner you claim it by filing a return, the : sooner you’ll get it. i

Like the wonderful, friendly people that live in Milford, Washington people too make a stranger feel at home immediately. Allow us to relate some of the experiences we’ve had and the things we’ve seen through some wonderful people from Washington. When friend husband arrived back in October he met the Bergevin family. Lt. Bergevin is a pilot stationed at Fort Lewis’ Gray field and knows Fort Lewis and its environs. The Bergevins not only saved friend husband a long bus ride from Seattle, but the indecision and confusion associated with finding your quarters on a huge army post at night, when they brought him from a shuttle station to Fort Lewis, treated him to coffee in their home and then drove him another three miles to North Fort Lewis to his barracks. What makes this an even more heartwarming experience is that the Bergevins at that time had a 14-month old baby in the hospital who was not expected to live. (We are happy to report that the baby is once again walking around furniture in the Bergevin living room.) Our first visit to the Lacey Community Church of the Brethren brought us in contact with the Dana J. Kintners. Dr. and Mrs. Kintner are originally from Indiana: Mrs. Kintner being a resident of Warsaw as Mary Robbins, and Dr. Kintner a former resident of North Manchester. These wonderful people have taken the Moreheads under their wing. They offered us the use of their home until our furniture arrived, they have ,■ chauffered us around to show us things of interest, and most thrilling of all they treated us to a plane ride to Mount Ranier. Sunday, January 21, was a cold clear day—a day in which all of the mountain ranges surrounding us were completely visible. On this day the Kintner four-seat Cessna, with us aboard, flew from Olympia airport, along the south side of Fort Lewis in the direction of Mount Ranier. On the way to Mount Ranier we saw pine trees and more pine trees, we saw rivers with logs floating in them, there were towns nestled in the valleys, winding roads leading to the top of the hills, and the hills themselves sometimes covered with trees, sometimes looking like a man’s head that had had a section cut away by the barber’s clippers. To the south was Mount Hood and Mount Adams. In front of us was the mountain itself. It defies description; seeing this mountain is not a seeing—it is a feeling, and one can easily understand why the Indians called it the "mountain that was God.” On our trip back to Olympia we saw the Seattle World’s Fair site with its modem architecture drawing your attention from other equally beautiful edifices. We saw islands—reached only by the ferrys that were shuttling back and forth—on all sides of Seattle. We saw World War n battleships

Mr. And Mrs. Alfred Nelson Observe Golden Wedding Anniversary .
Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Nelson, former residents of the Wooster community, will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary Sunday, March 4, at a family dinner at the Steer Inn and open house inthe afternoon. They hope all their friends will call from 2 Sunday afternoon at their home on road 100 S (the golf course rdad) near Warsaw. The Nelsons were married March 2, 1912, at Warsaw. Mrs. Nelson is the former Iva Fern Perry, daugh-
floating and rusting in a bay. We saw an island prison, more water- ! ways and more mountains, all of i which made the plane ride a delightful experience. The Kintners also treated us to a band concert in the Olympia high school. This high school was completed last year and is a series of buildings with covered sidewalks connecting them. There are small courtyards paved with stone and equipped with benches and flower gardens. It looks more like a college campus than a high school! The last friendly person we would like to tell you about is a car salesman from Portland, Ore. He is like so many one meets out here in that he is truly in love with this end of the country and tries to convert people to westerners. 1 This man, in the course of showing a car, gave a guided tour of the Portland Waterfront With its fantastic new buildings, the huge ships at pier and the arching bridges over the Willamette river. He showed us the original Wells Fargo building, the old opera building and a fantastic new building—the Lloyd Shopping Center. This new shopping center is all under one roof with an ice skating rink in the center, a garden on the second floor and a three-story covered parking lot at one end. It is actually a city of stores all in one block. ; These sights, and so many more, are what we are seeing, thanks to some wonderful people at this end of the country.; Vye never cease to be amazed at the goodness in people—no matter where they are. How about you? SUE ANNTRASTER TWIRLING STUDENT Miss Sue Ann Traster, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Traster of 213 S.

Fellowship Class Meets With Leon Tuckers The Fellowship class of the Milford Christian church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Tucker Tuesday evening, Feb. 20. Rev. and Mrs. Carl Shearer were co-hosts. After a short business meeting conducted by president Jerry Bushong, very interesting devotions on “The Pointing Heart” were given by Mr. Tucker and Rev. Sheared. Wallace Scott of Syracuse gave the closing prayer. Refreshments of home made ice cream, cherry pie, coffee and tea were served at the close of the meeting. The next meeting will be a hat sale at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Noble Fisher on Tuesday, Mar. 20.
DEAF MAN PERFECTS . SMALLEST HEARING AID PLYMOUTH, Ind. (Special) — A remarkable midget hearing aid has been perfected by a man who has been hard of hearing for nearly 10 years. This small aid has no dangling cords or separate transmit-, ting units and is the most revolutionary product ever to appear on the market for the hard of hearing. It is especially made for those people who can hear, but not understand. This new hearing instrument provides “ear-level” hearing with the wearer picking up speech, sounds, television and radio at his ear rather than a transmitter located in the wearer's clothing. Due to he use of 4 transistors, the user cost is extremely low and the intrument weighs approximately >4 ounce. It is about the size of a sewing thimble. Write to: George L.

County YMCA Gets Volunteer Help As Needed
Voluntarily dropping into the YMCA campaign office to assist in the current campaign to provide Kosciusko county residents vrith needed recreational facilities today was Frederick Wolferman, former athletic coach at Milford. Mr. Wolferman has lang been involved in athletics in the community and has been a star in most all events. His interest in youth and continued efforts to assist them is well-known to all. In accepting the assignment as Milford areai chairman, Mr. Wolferman said, “We have much interest in Milford for this program and are willing to work and make pledges to help it succeed. A YMCA would provide many types of activities and programs which are not now available to people of our area. Many of the community would derive a lot of benefit from a YMCA. In the age group from about 17 on up especially, there is nothing in the way of recreation and physical fitness programs available. Most of us like some type of exercise just to keep in trim.” He further stated that “most of the age group vzho is learning to swim prefer an indoor pool for this - activity and-that most of the Milford youth had been going to the YMCA in Elkhart for this purpose.” Residents and workers in other communities who have volunteered their services are as follows: Milford: Arch Baumgartner, Forest L. Ramser, Jerald Van Meter, Frederick Wolferman. Pierceton: Mesdames Russell Christoffel, M. M. Coble, Gordon Nichols, Herbert Orr, Leland J. Osborn, Allen B.
