Milford School Hews By EARLEEN FISHER Monday morning five gentlemen from the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce presented their views and experiences of business to the senior class. Robert Ellison, executive secretary of the chamber, introduced the fol-
• _ ■
lowing gentlemen: Robert Mai sh, president of Crow Milling Co.; Robert Steele, president of Warsaw Chemical Co.; Edmund Whitby of White Metal; Phil Lowe, vice president of Whitley Products, Pierceton.
Mr. Maish told us how necessary our free way of life is to the national economy. Only in a democracy where free, enterprise is allowed can businesses flourish. Uncler communistic governments there is no, healthy competition, no free markets, and most important, the people do not have a desire to work. Mr. Steele relayed some of the restrictions placed on companies such as his in packaging and labeling containers. Orders are received from both the Department of Agri- ■ culture and the pure food and drug administration. Mr. Steele described a possible restriction which would : demand that all products of the same type be packaged in containers of identical shape and that each container contain the same weight. He demonstrated how unfeasible this plan would be. In two identical containers he had measured equal amounts of detergent. One weighed 13. ounces, the other 7*4 ounces. Mr. Whitby introduced us to the problem of human relations and wages. One important aspect of employment is a company—such as his—which manufactures a seasoned product: should the factory diversify and supply a fewer number of jobs year ’round or specialize and employ a greater number of workers six months of every year? Mr. Lowe spoke about the very real problem of profits. A company must prosper to continue in business. There are wages to be paid, materials to be purchased and overhead to be maintained. The desire to achieve something better is an ever present goal for a profitable business. Following these talks was a question—and—answer period. Some of the questions posed were: “Is automation destroying jobs”? Mr. Ellison replied that for every job no longer necessary new vistas would open. If automation replaces workers, someone must manufacture the machines which do the replacing. The emphasis today, however, is on the skilled worker. “Are labor unions necessary any more?” Legislation has alleviated the working conditions due to pressure from labor unions. Labor could, perhaps, be handled by fewer unions. "Could legislation be passed to aid areas of greater unemployment”? The question brought to mind the crisis caused by the removal of the Studebaker Corporation in South Bend. This question, one of the most i vital importance today, defies anI swering. Businesses can try to locate in areas where there is much possible employment, but they also must fix their location with an eye to markets and materials. SENIOR OF THE WEEK RICHARD HARLAN SILARP Dick is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Burris Sharp. He is a member of the Spanish dub, the Science club, the TYojahette staff, and is editor of the school paper.

His report shows a total savings on the nine routes due to corporation ownership to be $4,594.99, a unit average of $505.55. If the average saving were applied to the entire fleet of 31 buses, it indicated that corporation-owned buses could save the taxpayers about $15,000 per year. As to the feasibility of a corpora-tion-owned maintenance building for school buses, the total cost of main-

SENIOR NEWS By Sally Keller Friday after school a surprise birthday party for Sandy Zartman , was held at Connie Fox’s. Ten sen- ' ior girls were prseent. Jack McClintic was chosen to represent Milford’s senior class last Sunday at the meeting for the Lakeland Youth Center. We’re still recuperating from Easter vacation. I think vacations are harder on us than school by the looks of things. Debates, or maybe I should say. arguments are being heard in speech class, Shakespearean culture is erupting in English, and we’re studying the biological foundations of behavior in psychology. We’re learning. This six weeks is really going fast, and we haven't even got a full two months of school left! JUNIOR NEWS By Pamela Phend The junior class play, "Dino”, is really coming along. In the short period of about three weeks we have memorized both acts one and two. Mr. Dorsey says we’re ahead of schedule. He had expected the lines {to be memorized at a later date than this. The cast is getting into character and each member is beginning to feel the part he is playing. Many are so much in their roles that they carry on during the day the same conversations that are in the play. Sharron Moneyheffer. who plays the shy, quiet, studious type, has even gone back to wearing her glasses "just for practice”. It was heard that one of the boys plans to grow a moustache for his part as a parole officer; and one of the girls is considering tinting her hair red to match her role as a “red-headed slob”. SOPHOMORE NEWS By Jane Baumgartner In English last week we started to I read “The Miracle Worker”. Most of us find it very interesting and plan to find out more about Helen Keller. We have just finished two weeks of modern dancing. Last week a group of four or five did a modem dance to a record of their own choice.

buses to determine if money is being saved by the corporation’s move in this direction. The report deals with the 1963-64 school year and in order to use a full year, the operational cost for the month of March was used as an estimate for April and May. His report follows:
tenance and repair (excluding gas), for seven months was $1,220, or sll3 per bus. This figure applied to 31 buses would approximate $3,500 per year, of Which $1,500 would probably represent labor cost. So long as satisfactory service can be obtained in the various areas of the corporation, it would appear to be impractical to construct a corporation maintenance building, the report stated.
