JERI'S JOURNEYS Spring may be on its way at last as the rain stopped on Monday and the site came out to warm up Our Town.l noticed several little green sprouts poppin out of the ground over the week end. Guess it won’t be long before the mushroom hunters will begin their annual tramping around in the woods looking for those mushrooms that just seem to pop up from nowhere. We join the rest of the nation in extending our sympathy to the family of General Douglas MacArthur who died Sunday after a 13day fight for his life. His “1 shall return” became the rallying cry for the Pacific troops during World War 11. From Sharon’s notes we find that Chipman and Doolittle were the first merchant? of Our Town. The first

frame building was erected here by Henry Doolittle in 1840. It was later occupied by X C. McLaughlin. I overheard someone say the other day that this has been the best year for maple sap in a long time. Seems like they did open the sugar camp earlier than usual this year. Mrs. Charles Weisser, who sent a letter of sympathy to Mrs. John F. Kennedy last fall, has received a letter from the former First Lady. Did you see the hobos in town last week? Seems like two Milford men were advertising a hobo supper sponsored by the youth of the First Brethren church. At least that’s what Ren Clark and Gail Geiger said they were doing in those patched up outfits. ■ Even museums sometimes find it hard to hold onto old items when progress comes along. Such is the most recent case with historic Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, Mich., when digit dialing went into effect However, all was not lost as the number 271-1620 has been given them. It was in (’27) that the first building was moved into the village and the village was the first outdoor museum of America <l> and the (1620> is the date of the landing of the Pilgrims. I hear something special is brewing for the spring concert at Milford. It will be presented tomorrow (Friday) in the community building. Mrs. Victor Fuller was 90 years young last Sunday and we would like to join those who have already wished her a happy birthday. Sorry we’re a little late Mrs. Fuller, but do hope you had a wouderful day and from what Marilyn J Mrs. Robert) Brown says4t must have been just that. Upon his return from Florida Harold Beyer of Wanaw made his first trip to the Milford post office and found out that postal employees never grow old—they just lose their ZIP.

Viewing Hie Pyramids From Milford Did you ever stop to think just how many canned foods a Milford family brings home from the local grocery stores in the course of one year? James Cecil of Cecil Foods, Inc., reports that last year the per capita consumption of canned foods was 137.5 cans, roughly 600 pounds of canned food per household. Multiply 137.5 by the population of Our Town (approximately 1,200) and you get 165.000 cans, which would make quite a canned goods pyramid. The canned tomatoes and tomato puree produced at Cecil Foods, Inc., are among 1,2000 different canned food items produced by the canning industry, an impressive list including fruits, vegetables, juices, seafood. meat, poultry, soups, baby foods, milk and many formulated foods. In Milford last year we ate 15, 960 pounds of tomato products, 2,, 520 pounds of canned tuna, and 7, 560 pounds of canned peaches. The canned tomatoes and tomato puree produced at Cecil Foods, Inc., are marketed throughout the eastern and midwest United States, every can contributing to the most impressive statistic of all. Last year over 28 billion pounds of canned foods were produced by the canning industry, and every one of those pounds gave the homemaker full value for her money, for all waste had been removed before processing. Now there’s a pyramid for you. an awe-inspiring concept, indeed. And since, as with the original pyramids where every unit involved had to be sound, just so the canning community relies on its individual members to uphold the high standards which have brought about this amazing figure. Thus every worker at Cecil Foods, Inc., every can of tomatoes and tomato puree is an integral part of one of the most exciting food preservation stories known to man.

ItaiziNjCX AROUND TjR-'ML Jack Wells believes that Matt Welsh should take the pennies that are collected on sales tax and use them to fill the chuck holes in our state highways. Monday afternoon, a group of teen-age boys were seen swimming in Syracuse lake. Bht - - - This week a great man of our time faded away. He was General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. There are mixed emotions of the men who served under him in the South Pacific and in Korea. Many disliked him, while others praised him, but they all respected him. I hear a restaurant in ’Cuse under mw management is operated by three ladies, whereby derives the name of the establishment known as the "Three Sisters". Then someone tells me that one of the trio quit and it will be known as the “Two Sisters’’. Now I find out that they really aren’t sisters at all. Twenty-one years ago this month F. D. R. under a war-time act froze prices and wages. Jean Rogers says her wages haven’t thawed out yet. Today three classes of sth grade students are taking a field trip to the “windy city”. The students are going to tour the Museum of Science and Industry. Syracuse fire chief Bill Hess says his department has two real friends in the persons of trustee Matty Jones and town board member Loren Longenbaugh. Both men will go to bat for the department, chief Hess states, but “we must show good cause first”, he adds. Old soldier Seth Ward, out on route 1, reports prompt and sure as ever. This time he wakes his editor up with a 7:30 a. m. flash. New interest being shown in Lakeland Education, Inc., following piece in M-J last week. Many said they never heard of the group, but were interested to know “we have such good men in our community”. Look for series of articles this summer on Lakeland businessmen. Since the article appeared last week concerning Marcina Green, we hear she’s looking for a summertime job around the lake. Anyone have an ; opening? COURT NEWS Fined s4l Willard Templin, r 1 Milford, was fined s4l by justice of the peace Harry Dale Doty last Wednesday in Milford. He was charged by his w-ife with assault and battery. Deputy sheriff Roger Fellows stated he received a call to the Templin home. Fellows stated Templin had thrown a chair at his wife and had grabbed i her after an argument.

National Library Week Andrew Carnegie was one of the great pioneers in building the steel industry. He was thus a member of a select company, with the vision and the courage to take long risks, who did much to lay the foundation on which this nation’s industrial might was built. Yet it is likely that Mr. Carnegie is best remembered for a very different kind of achievement — the Carnegie libraries. They were built in community after community across the country. He wanted a better-edu-cated nation, and his contribution to that end can hardly be exaggerated. This is worth noting now that National Library Week, which is to be observed April 12-18, is almost here. The American library system has grown to a point of size and excellence far beyond anything that Mr. Carnegie or anyone else could have envisaged. Even the smaller communities have their free libraries, and good ones. The books are there and waiting — it is up to us to take advantage of them. What should our resolve be during the Week? Just this: That year in and year out we will read more books and- better books. The strength of this nation depends on the knowledge and understanding of its citizens.

Newspaper And Retailer ''i ■ ■ From the Boonville. Ind., Standard: “It is a pity retailer? so often have to learn the same lesson over and over again through cost and hardship. “This observation was made by Edward R. Engle, official of the National Retail Merchants Association. Mr. Engle was referring to the importance of newspaper advertising to retail trade”. His findings were based on a study made of the results of the New York newspaper strike. It was found that there is no substitute for newspaper

It is I also stressed that when the advertising of big stores is absent the - entire shopping complex—including i the little stores—feel the ill effects, r The Standard sums up in these 1 words: “The ultimate loser from inadequate advertising, then, is the r consumer who pays for losses due to > slow turn over, waste and high per . item selling costs”. The basic principle here is simple enough. If people don’t know what you have to offer, they, can’t and won’t come seeking it. Successful retailing and intelligent and extensive advertising go hand in hand.
