JERI’S JOURNEYS We hear Mrs. Arilla Bowers is in the Prairie-View rest home at Warsaw. We’ll bet she would like to hear from the 'people of Our Town.

We’re glad you do and we hope others do too. .From Sharon s notes we find John Egbert erected a sawmill in 1837 on Turkey Creek near Milford and in I 1839 he erected a grist mill. Chester Felkner tells of an error we made fa this column several weeks ago. Seems I located the first log school house which was e- | reeled fa Van Boren township In 183 S by William Felkner on section 39—should have been 29. There aren’t 31 sections tn aaty township. Thank yon Mr. Felkner for Idling I ns of our error and for reading lhe '. column. Would the person who walked off with our Green Stuff the other day please return it 1 think everyone fa .Oar Town should congratulate the Rheiama dub for the fine job the members did putting up decorations on Main street. Now we’re all ready for , Santa.

Tl HUMOR FROM THE PULPIT: Milford Methodist church superintendent Lawrence Myers couldn’t pass up the chance for a pun when malting recent church announcements. The bulletin stated Mrs. Glenn Brown would be in charge of hanging the Greens. Myers said, “I don’t knew who these Greens are, but the Browns will be in charge of hanging them!” Wal>r Wuthrich tells of going to school when Miss Ethel E. Holbrook, who recently died in n Chicago hospital, was the teacher. The scMol was the Uchtenwalter school west of Milford. 11 Why doesn’t someone in Our Town '• come up with an idea like the Leesr burg Merchants Association. The a»e sociation is encouraging the citizens t to decorate their windows, shrub-: bery, porches, and roof tops in keep- [ ing with the true Christmas spirit Special recognition is to given. By I the way. if you’re down Leesburg way why don’t you drive past a few jof the houses and see what the town’s citizens have done. I Just learned the name Trojans I came into being at Milford high • school about 30 years ago. Does anovne know where it came from? ! i Or why? j Heard that Noble W. Neffs name will not be suggested as name for new high school. Citizens think it : would be better to use the name here I in Our Town where Mr. Neff was I most loved and respected.

Travel log by Judy Graham CURACAO — LEGEND AND LORE A I 11 unusual “land** houses of !|1 B 11j* Curasao in the Caribbean—similar to America’s plantation homes-. ZJ | W mfT 1 were all built so that each was b I easily visible from a neighbor’s. F i I When pirates attacked, lamps | were lighted in the warning tower I a>o P each house to summon aid. JgSg’^77Some of these lovely old homes con now be visited byhwrists ISW Buildings on Curasao are painted in a variety of pastel shades. Legend has it that one of the early Dutch governors complained that the tropic sun—reflecting off the white-painted buildings—hurt his eyes and gave him headaches. He decreed that from that time forth—all buildings be painted in color—a tradition that stilljpersists. I IM IIA Curasao’s blend of Dutch Jrgw XsJCaPxL/ cleanliness and industry j£m|T with tropical climate and j V yrjnff temperament makes it a must stop on any Caribbean travel itinerary.

cia Strickler; recreation, Linda Bitner. New Leader Needed Mrs. Kern will be unable to be the leader for the Tomorrow's Homemakers and at the present time these girls will be included in the Pollyanna group. This makes the group so large it is impossible to give any individual attention tn the girls. At this time there are over 40 girls in the group and all enrollment blanks are not in yet. This is too many girls for one leader. If anyone feels she would like to assure leadership of Tomorrow’s Homemakers, please contact Mrs. Douglas Yoder, 457-2191.
