All too often progress in the Lakeland community appears slow and imperseptable, but nonetheless there is progress. There is certain progress in the commercial building field. This week progress went forth on three commercial buildings in the area, two in Syracuse’s booming Wawasee Village and one at the south edge of Milford.

In Wawasee Village the large Thornburg Drug Co. building is making rapid progress, shooting for a mid-December deadline, and further south the smaller but bright, new building in which will house the Sportsman’s Center is making similar progress. The building south of Milford, on new road 15, is a large service area on the north edge of Martin
Motor Sales. Begin Sept. 23 The new Thornburg store is a handsome 50 by 150 foot cement block building adjacent on the ; I south to Berniece’s Beauty Shop in Wawasee Village. The building has a red brick front and is bricked six feet up on the south side. All door and window.openings are aluminum.
Along Main Street JERI’S JOURNEYS The election is over, Halloween has come and gone, so there is little to talk about for the present except basketball until it’s time for Thanksgiving, then the bustling holiday season will begin and everyone will be in a mad rush. The Trejane seem t» be going strong this year. Friday they travel to Bristol and will try and remain underfeated. Doesn’t the Pep club look sharp? From Miss Martha Groves we got the following information: “The first band that was ever organized in Milford and which the citizens were either proud or ashamed of was organized in 1884. The charter members were F. S. Haney, Lewis Rodibaugh, James Kinley, Wesley Wehrly, Wesley Berry, Neil Felkner, M. B. Jones, W. E. Groves, George McLaughlin, and Charles Sparklin.” According to the report, which was dated January 24, 1907, “George Wey-

Sportsman’s Center’s New Location
Ray Buhrt, general contractor, began work on the new structure on Monday, Sept. 23. The store hoped to move from its present location in the downtown Pickwick block in mid-December, but due to a hold-up in shipment of the steel roof beams, it may be sometime in January 1964 before the move can be made. The store has been in the drug retail busi-
burn of Goshen was the first teacher. The old man has us in at the old school house for almost three months and at the close of that period we could run the scale fairly well. Our first appearance on Main street resembled very much the picture of the sturdy soldier who' had charged upon a flock of geese, in the old Third Reader. We were first in line, out of line, on time, behind time, double quick time, and slow time, all at one time. The people of Milford never heard such music before, and we hope since.” Last year the first snow fell on October 23. This year we had our first snow on November 1. Wonder when we will have our second snow. If the weather keeps getting colder it will snow before this gets in the paper. As I was proofing this paragraph I looked out the window and no longer have to wonder. We got our second snow November 12. Little Lorie Yeater, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Yeater, was Very sweet as she walked down the long white aisle at the basketball queen’s coronation the other Friday night. Lorie carried a bouquet of red roses of the new queen. By the way, Anni Lange made a very lovely queen. Did you notice the tables are being painted at the town park on Waubee lake? They’ll be ready for use next summer. One of my little birds was in the other day and stated that he thought all the bowling news should be in large, bold print. That is an idea but, I don’t think we have room to do it. Did you count the flags on “Our Town’s” Main street on Veterans’ day? Their were 11 and two of those fly every

The new location of the Sportsman’s Center is to be completed sometime in January 1964, according to Clem Lisor, owner and operator of the popular sporting goods outlet. Construction began about a month ago on the 40 by 70 foot cement block structure. It will also have a red brick front and a
day at the Town Hall and post office. Now that the elections are over let’s all get behind “Our Town’s” new board and back them.

Girl Confesses Killing Mother
In a confession given first to her uncle and then to police officers, Linda Ann Miller, 20, of Fort Wayne’admitted killing her mother, Mrs. Kenneth Miller of Whitley county, with a .22 caliber rifle bullet. Miss Miller, • who is erhployed at the Fort Wayne Optical Company, left the office at noon on Thursday, Nov. 7, picked up a car she had “borrowed” earlier in the day to try out and drove to the farm of her parents near the town of Tunker in Whitley county. She parked the car about a mile from the house, walked through the woods and entered the house through the read door. Mrs. Miller was seated on a dav- j enport in the living room playing | a game that was coming over the television set. Linda stood in the kitchen door and watched for a few minutes and then trained the ; gun at her mother’s head and pulled the trigger. Mrs. Miller was engrossed in the game and did not look up when Linda entered the house. The gun was kept in the kitchen in a cupboard and the shells were on the window sill. After the shooting Linda reloaded the gun and placed it in a machinery shed near the back of the house. She walked back to the place where she had left the car and drove back to Fort Wayne. She returned the car to the park- j ing. lot and then went to the I YWCA and called her employer: to say that she had fallen down stairs and would riot be able to tome to work. She then returned to her apartment on Ewing street. When her uncle, Orland Ormsby of Lima, 0., came on Monday to her apartment, he felt she had something on her mind and finally learned the truth from her. He took her to Columbia City where police questioned her and took her confession. The only reason’ she could give for the act was a “build up of resentment” against | her mother. She felt she had to do more work than the other children and her mother had objected when she had wanted to buy a car. • Linda Ann is a graduate of Columbia City Joint high school. |
~~r>?Es=srJ^^ l frg BUGS—MEDIUM RARE A former “cure” for cancer required the swallowing of roasted insects. Os course, today, we know this remedy was foolish. Though we’re still looking for the cause of cancer, medical science has made tremendous strides in its detection and treatment. Ask your physician about them. And remember, whenever you’re not feeling up to par, it’s good sense to visit your doctor. Then, if medication is necessary, see us for reliable prescription service.
