Milford Seniors Present Excellent Play Wednesday The Milfrod senior class presented its class play, “You Can’t Take It With You,” in an excellent manner in the Milford community building last evening (Wednesday). The setting was the living room of the New York home of Martin Vanderhof (Terry Beatty) in the year 1937. The word living room is an understatement! It was the every-man-for-himself room, where meals are eaten, plays are written, snakes collected, ballet steps practiced, music composed and played, and printing presses operated. It was a house where you do as you like, and no questions asked. It seemed that Mr. Vanderhof | hadn’t paid a cent of his income taxes since 1914 and Wilbur C. Henderson (Phil Weisser), was looking into the matter for the federal government. Grandpa Vanderhof’s daughter, Penolope Sycamore (Connie Fox) had received a- typewriter eight years ago so she wrote plays. Penolope’s husband, Paul, (Mike Treesh) and Mr. DePinna (Joe Beer) manufactured bombs in the cellar. The Sycamores’ elder daughter, Essie (Earleen Fisher) was a self-styled ballerina. Her husband, Ed, (Joe Jessop) composses symphonies on the zither. The younger sister, Alice, (Anni Lange) was sweet, sensible and sane. She had fallen in love with Tony Kirby (Dick. Sharp) and had invited his aristocratic parents, (Ken Beer and Jean Kaiser) to dinner. Alice tried to remove the unusual articles from the living room but the Kirbys arrived too early and met Alice’s famunder normal conditions. Alice is ready to break her engagement when her family steps in and patches things up and Tony admits that he brought his family early so they could meet the family as they usually are. Others given outstanding performances were Rheba (Carolyn Biller), Donald (Jack McClintic), Boris Kolenklov (Rick Woodward), Gay Willington (Connie Hartter), Olga (Carol Rassi), and the three men played by Tom Holderread, Marion Groves and Mike Ostendorf.

Spotlight on Improving Business . . . No Form Os Communication As Efficient As Written Words By arch Baumgartner Publisher THE MAIL-JOURNAL

The newspaper has survived for three centuries as the dominant form of advertising. The reason may be .traced to the nature of the medium. No form of communication has been discovered which is so efficient as the written word. Every person who has listened to an hour Speech knows that he would be able to read the same information in ten or fifteen minutes. The college student quickly learns that a long lecture can be condensed in one page of notes which may, be reviewed in five minutes. Written language is also more efficient because it is a permanent record which permits a quick recheck of important points and details which may be lost forever through oral or visual communica-

It is no wonder that a person, after hearing a broadcast about an exxeiting news event anxiously goes to the newspaper for a review of details, or to make certain that he heard or saw accurately. The same reaction certainly could be expected of the consuming public which wishes to learn more about new, products or details about a sale. So long as the process remains the same the newspaper, with its unlimited space to provide information, is likely to remain the dominant advertising medium.

Nothing else was reported missing. FISHING HOLDING UP Although the outdoor activity emphasis is shifting somewhat from fishing to hunting, some of the best fishing of the year could be just ahead. At least this is the opinion of many fishermen over the state. Northern Indiana Fishing is still holding up very well in most of the lakes, streams, and reservoirs, some good catches of nice walleyes and northern pike are being taken out of the ' Kankakee and Tippecanoe rivers, with several nice catches of crappies and bluegills being taken from the lakes using artificial and live bait. At Lake Freeman ’ and Lake Shafer the catfish and crappie fishing is reported good. 70-DAY GOOSE SEASON The Division of Fish and Game announced the opening of goose hunting season Saturday, Oct. 19. ; This 70-day open season, an extension of 10 days more than last year, will be split. > It will extend from sunrise, Oct. 19 to sunset, Dec. 14; and the second period ; from noOn December 20 to sunset, January 1.
