Along Main Street

By JF.RI SEELY What'-s this we hear about the Milford senior boys having five' minutes to save §18.75 on the last ddy they were in school? Principal Gerald Moyer of Go-' shen's ( handler school retired iolloving thj* close of that school this year. He was my principal for one war wav back when and is a very wonderfu/ person in our opinion. He will be missed by the Goshen I school System. He Was a well : known area speaker. Our congratulations to Ginger HolI ir., daughter of Mr. raid Mrs.. Paul , Hollar, who was awarded the first I rainua.' Noble. W Neff scholarship at the commencement exercises last Wednesday. We do think the geraniums at town hall are an improvement. We like the flags too! Credit tor this will go to street and water commissioner Marion. Deeter. W iiile moving furniture liere at the office recently we found rai old picture taken of Our Town after a fire in 1902 Does ■ know anything about that fire?. I have never heard of it before. , : - ■ - ’ ' Also found a second picture of Our Towni This one has no date on it hut is old. It's iii the winter and is looking down Main street. The sign in front of the building that now houses the II and II Machine and Welding company says furniture and (undertaking. Tliere was a stairway on therMelody case buikiiiu and the sign reads O. L. Martin. Taylor. Horses tied at hitching rails all have sleds behind them. A luckv girl is Lois Ann, daughter of Mr. raid Mrs. James Hershberger of Dewart Like. She is on her w;ay to ■ Japan. She is a recent graduate of Purdue and is making the trip with her roommate. ’ ■ -' '■ Speaking of luck! Wasn't ( huck . Myers lucky that Betty happened to see that boat the other day. Extensive damage was done to the Myers’ boat and boathouse as well as to the pier when it was hit by a boat. We understand Chuck was standing on the pier until his wife yelled. North Webster has the Mermaid festival. Svracure has the Flotilla ind-the Police and Firemen’s batefit fair, but Milford has nothing: Why 7 'don't we have something here to bring visitors to Our Town.’ What ('o there other towns have that we don't? . . Another idea occurred to me the other day. 1-n't there some place around here, maybe at th< s lake, ’ where some one coulck start a camping place. Just a small place where {uople could park their campers overnight. It might bring some business -into Milford. Friend husband and I made a trip to upper Michigan over the recent holidav vrcek end. Tourist business is big up there, but we couldn’t see what got that we don't have right here in the Lakeland area, except of course the Mackinaw bridge and the island.. In The Mail-Journal office to renew his subscription. Ernest Krauter said he began taking The Milford Mail in 1904. trading a cord 6£ wood for his first subscription. He said he made the trade with the late Jack Forbing. The wood was used to stoke an upright steam boiler, used to turn thp printing press on press day. The cord of wood, delivered, was $2, the price of a year’s subscription.
