Turn Swamp Into Beauty Spot SILVER LAKE — Guy Cripe and Bob Frantz of Silver Lake upset the old colloquialism, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” by transforming a mosquito-infested and nearly useless “button-brush” swamp into one of the beauty spots of Kosciusko county. Bob Martin, work unit conservationist for Kosciusko county, reports in the May issue of Indiana Farmer that completion of the pond and wildlife area provided water for swimming, boating, livestock and irrigation. The project has also provided the habitat for ducks, rabbits, quail and a host of song birds, Martin says. Begun in early 1958, the pond area provides countless benefits for the Cripes and Frantzes and many of their friends and neighbors. Frantz believes the pond has increased the worth of the farm several thousand dollars. FAREWELL BRIDGE PARTY FOR THE VAN METERS Mr. and Mrs. Arlo Beiswanger and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Allen entertained at a farewell bridge party for Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Van ' Meter at the Beiswanger home last : Saturday evening. .

JERI’S JOURNEYS As strange as it may seem it was reported that Paul Haab is serving under Lieutenant Dennis Sharp at Fort Sam Houston, Tex. Both men are 1957 graduates of Milford high school. Seems like our country gets smaller every day. From personal observation of couples who are going steady I would venture to guess that the boy spends about 50 per cent of his time with his girl and the other 50 per cent wondering what she’s doing. I received a note from former Mail-Journal editor Hattie Becker the other day. It read “Hi Jeri — ' I liked your column—keep it up — | Hattie.” Please let me know what; you think’ of this column. Do you j iike it ? Have you noticed the new spring shapes? A little bird told me that Justin Kneeland, G. F. Wolferman, Leon Newman, and Bill Little are at the high school track every morning at 6:30-for some physical fitness exercises. Many Milford residents have been wondering when the tulip 'festival is to be held in Holland, Mich. I received a letter in the mail last week which stated that it* will be held May 15, 16, 17, and 18. The big parade of bands is scheduled for 4 p. m. Saturday. As many mushroom hunters as there are in Our Town, I wonder how many know the meaning of the word! Thorndike says that they are “a small fungus, shaped like an umbrella that grows very fast.” Whoever came up with this idea doesn’t quite agree with my way of thinking. Did you ever try to keep dry under an umbrella shaped like a sponge mushroom? Bob Wemple of Albuquerkue, N. M., son of Mr. and Mrs. Lehman Wemple of Milford, was as close to home the other week as the University of Wisconsin but was unable to come the rest of the way. Mrs. Arthur Wise told me that Bob and his wife (Nancy Wise) are planning a trip to Milford in a few weeks. The stakes were driven recently to show the dimensions of the proposed addition to the Christian church. As soon as a few details are worked out excavating will begin. The Bill Perrys have decided

They planted geraniums the other day. The bright red flowers surely look nice. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored Pain t-up-Fix-up-Clean-up week will close tomorrow and- I must say that Milford looks better. Do you have your work done? I will if it doesn’t rain tomorrow. At present tho I do have one thing done—this column.

UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS DROP Unemployment insurance claims dropped another 7.6 per cent last week to a 33.524 total. Except for several one-week inventory closings, involving some 1,400 employees altogether, other layoffs were small scale, Lewis F. Nicolini, director of the Indiana Employ- - ment Security Division, said. Outdoor industries continued to expand employment and steel mills were adding workers. Numerous footwear, clothing, and automobile industry workers were recalled. Mr. Nicolini said the claims total last week was about 10 per cent under that for the same week last year when 37,225 Hoosiers filed for unemployment insurance.
