CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank all of my many friends and neighbors for their many* acts of kindness in my recent time of sorrow. I would also like to thank the principals of the Milford and Syracuse schools for excusing their pupils to pay their last respects to my son Bill. I believe all of us grown-ups should take a lesson from our children in such a time of sorrow as I have just experienced, as they give us a very strong shoulder to lean on in just such instances. I am sure I will be more reliant on my children and their out-looks on the different aspects of life from now on. I hope that the other parents of the community will also value their children’s out-looks on all types of situations and learn a little by experience. BETTY HIMES
