Missouri Resident Dies Here Mrs. Nancy J. Nunn, 80 years of age, of Granby, Mo., died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Baumgartner of west of Milford, Wednesday afternoon.

35 YEARS AGO, APRIL 7, 1927 The town board at its regular meeting on Monday evening received bids for the furnishing of 500 yards of gravel, more or less, and for the hauling of same on Milford streets. The bids received were as follows: Roy Treesh at $1 per yard Frank Method at 31.08 per yard Darkwood and Lutes at sl.lO per yard J. S. Pratt at $1.15 per yard Vem Kirkdoffer at $1.15 per yard The board accepted the low bid of Roy Treesh. The work is to be started at once. The Dr. George Hoopingamer farm located 2% miles southeast of Milford was sold on Saturday to G. Grabill of Dunlap for $9,000, this being an approximate average of $45 per acre. This farm contains a number of acres of the richest marl beds in this section of the county. Mrs. George Krull fell from a ladder Monday while gathering eggs, fracturing her left limb just above the knee. This seems to be an unlucky period for the Krulls, as Mr. Krull's brother Albert is also nursing a broken leg at this time. Benjamin Kantner and daughter, Miss Lillian Kantner, who resided north of Warsaw, have leased the Victpr Gawthrop property. Miss Kantner is an instructor in the Milford high school. 40 YEARS AGO, APRIL 13, 1922 Will R. Oppenheim, town clerk, has resigned his position and has asked the board to immediately appoint his successor. Mr. Oppenheim states that the office requires too much time and that on account of the business he is in, he cannot well afford to share even a part of the blame which arises over the many petty troubles which come before the board. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. S. Wright are the proud parents of a daughter, Mary Ellen, bom at the Goshen hospital Tuesday night.

A force of men have been employed this week cutting and dynamiting the ice from around the big dredge on Waubee lake near Milford. To burst the ice and not damage the big boat is not the easiest thing to do. L. M. Neher, who is expected home this week, has been in Buffalo, N. Y., for the past two weeks in the interest of his newly invented auto-starter. He has received great encouragement and is sure he has just what the automobile men have been looking for.

The freshmen and juniors have been suffering from a prolonged disease commonly called “achievement test-itis.” These tests are to test a student’s abilities in various academic fields. The sophomore occupaions class took the Kuger vocational and personal tests to determine what fields of work one is best suited for. After answering some weird questions (would you rather be mean, stupid, or lazy?) and punching a few thousand holes in a piece of paper, everyone arrived at a graphic interpretation of his abilities. Band members are growing excited and impatient as the band tour, April 23 and 24, draws near. The band will play at Galveston, Madison, and Sunman. A program lasting about one hour will be presented at each of these schools.

of spring, I hope it stays. It’s; pretty hard to keep your mind on ! your work with such nice weather. We’ve been taking achievement | tests lately. They cover such studies as mathematics, social studies, : reading, writing, listening, et cetera. . In literature we’re beginning the section on poems. We’ll read the poems in our books, and to make it more interesting, each day a different person brings in a poem to read. It may be humorous,' sad, or anything the class would enjoy. We’re also divided into groups and each group is to give reports on different poets assigned to them. This is to help us to learn more about the great poets. In biology we’re studying birds. Each person is to make a list and write down the different birds he sees. Sometimes this isn’t easy, especially if you don’t know the names of the birds. In Latin we’re making reports on the Roman gods and goddesses. There are many because the Romans had gods for almost everything. We’re glad to have Ann Purdum back irr school with us after her operation.

IMPORTANT NEW USES FOR HOME-MOVIE SOUND CAMERA

News that segments of a sensational CBS television documentary concerning illegal ‘’bookie-joint” operations in Boston were made by a Fairchild Bmm sound-movie camera available to any amateur photographer, signaled the dramatic strides which have been made in the home-movie equipment field. The reporter who filmed the

bookie scenes entered a store under surveillance carrying a lunch pail containing the hidden ca mera. He held a remote switch in his pocket

which simultaneously triggered the camera and the sound while he entered the smoke-filled, poorly-lit back room harboring the illicit operations. The ease with which quality sound films can be made with this Cinephonic Bmm singlesystem, self-contained camera has actually lifted Bmm motion pictures above the usual level of home movies and made them a serious contender for the professional field. Yet you need not be an expert to make good movies. The simplified movie-mak-

ing technique which the new makes possible has brought ? a realize-; tion of impor- ' tant new uses for soundcolor film

making in many areas of local government, institutional, business and community life. The documentary on illicit bookie operations suggests the value of films in law enforcement work. Police departments are using this equipment to record the appearance and speaking mannerisms of lawbreakers or important witnesses and to make sound-film postaccident records where color and sound are an important factor.

‘COACH OF THE YEAR’—Pictured above is Robert Stevens, former Milford high school basketball coach, who has recently been named by the Atlantic Coast Conference as “Coach of the Year.” Mr. Stevens has just finished his third year as head basketball coach at the University of South Carolina.

Hospitals have been quick to recognize the potentials — among them the Shrine Hospital in Philadelphia which has

used the Faircam- . era to photp- ; graph patients when they come in and during their [progress ‘ and treatment. The determin-

ing factors in the widespread use of the camera is that it can be operated by any alert amateur, no technician-assistant is needed and, like all home-movie equipment, it is small and easily portable. In the areas of education and provision of training aids, the new equipment will facilitate the greatest expansion of soundmovie use. Speech and' drama classes in high schools and. colleges can provide audio-visual self-corrective programs for their students, which'will build morale through demonstration of improvements; costly experiments can be repeated to wider audiences through subsequent sound-film showings; vital ’ training hints can be imparted effectively — and repeatedly, if needs be — while economizing on the time and effort of the teacher demonstrators. In addition to the immense » joy of the home-movie maker

in being able to capture the actual voices, . as well as ■ the likenesses, of older and i younger members of the. family in interesting situ-

ations, the sound-movie revolution is spreading through local community theatre and craft clubs, used by public speakers, salesmen and others interested in self-improvement of their audio-visual techniques or the preservation of authentic records of events in whicji sound, color and action are the essential ingredients.
