Along Main Street > By JERI RAE SEELY’ A young visitor at our Milford office on Tuesday of last week was Bradley Stahl, young son of Washington township trustee and Mrs. Claud Stahl of Pierceton. I biBradley came to watch the press run and see what it takes to put a paper to bed. He had a very enjoyable day here, we hope. What an improvement to Our Town is the bright red awning placed over the front of the Sara-Web Mfg. building on Main street It really ibrightens up the whole town. Some 40 worsen of Our Town are reading this column today expecting to find something about Gloria Slabaugh. bride-to-be of Ron B. So as not to disappoint them I’ll say the wedding will be August 21 in the Christian church. It s moving time. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Mynhier of Our Town* have ■old their Iwuse on Catherine street o coach and Mrs. James Allen. The ilynhiers have purchased . the late Bess Lyon property at Waubee lake nd have moved there. Town board member Merril Rink is really proud of his newest granddaughter. Brenda Sue. He has a one-day -old picture of her and it doesn't take much to get him to show it to you. The newest addition to the Rink family lives with her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Don Rink in Xappanee. Our publisher AB received a leter from Milford i vive > dnyy Reid. ,' A of Olk a go. The letter and a hpping, enclosed were given to me nd are printed m part below: The letter states. “I do remember the mint oil being stored in the Citizens State Bank until my grandfather gave the order for them to sell. “The aroma in th< < tartling. "lie seemingly could not interest anyone in the local community to buy the Land so he went to Cissna Park in Illinois; "Omar Neff, my grandfather, simply sent to government authorities to analyte the muck and mint was given priority. I did enjoy reading about the ‘Recall Digging of Neff Ditch’ west of .Milford in the M-J.” The clipping, which starts out with. "Some .Ditching.” “Surveyors George Nye and Walter Cline are re-surveying the Omar Neff ditch in Jefferson township as result of a petition for a cleanout filed byGeorge 1-osee and other landowners. U ith its 14 arms, the drainage system is about 20 miles long, the main ditch, which flows into Turkey Creek, accounting for about six miles of the total. Omar Neff, for whom the ditch was named, was a real estate dealer in Milford in the early years of this century.

CAPITOL COMMENTS A Senator Vance j WklW HARTKE Are We Numb To Accidents?

A family of four is returning home from vacation. Their car proceeds at moderate speed along a two-lane state highway Suddenly, without warning, a car" in the opposite lane hurdles toward them. A crash. And then silence. One person is dead. Or maybe two. three, sous and more. ; There are no words which can de-1 scribe the .grief which follows. But the real tragedy is that this horrible scene is repeated every day of the year, in every state of the Union. Is the nation numb to traffic accii dents? I do not think so. Heartbreak has reached nearly every home. Friends and relatiies have perished needlessly. Most people. I believe, fed we >should do something now to reduce the senseless carnage — die waste of life, of time 1 and of money wdiidi is the inevitable result of traffic accidents. The time has come to take bold ; new stejps to reduce traffic injuries i and fatalities. -Those of us in Indiana are especially aware of tills need: On a recent weekend, more I persons died on Hoosier highways

He was bom in Elkhart county and came to Milford about 1892. At that time the country now drained by the Neff ditch was largely an uninhabited swamp. Neff saw the possibilities there and filed the petition for drainage around 1913 when George McKrill was surveyor. The ditch was originally surveyed by J Paul Summy in 1914 and 1915. Neff went over into Illinois and interested a number of members of the Apostolic Christian church in coming to the big marsh and making it their future home. "Some of the new county residents from Illinois were the Ilaabs. the Hartters. the Beers, the Grimms, I and the Kammerers. The fan " were large, some with 16 to 20 chil--ciren The Neff ditch, although very flat, made the area habitable and to- j day .it is a prosperous comhiunity vrh Nappar.ee only a few rh:le< to the northwest. Tlie . terrain is very farmers raise cabbage, mint, potatoes. corn, and similar crops. Right i now they are harvesting their cabbagge and loading it onto trucks with pitchforks for hauling away. The Neff diich drains about 16 square miles—or more than 10.000 acres —! which 75‘ years ago was wilderness. | Now this district is inhabited to a .arge extent by the-Amish.”

than in any comparable period of histohy. What can be done? There are many steps we can take to reduce traffic accidents. One of the most important is to improve 013" highways. Many of these now are nothing more than horse-and-j buggy roads paved over. But the new Interstate System is proving that safe highways save lives. The fatality rates on these-modem roads is less than half that of older roads. To reduce accidents. I. liave asked Congress to speed up work on

I the Interstate System. First, I • would like to see the system ex- ! tended from 41.000 miles to at least 60.000 miles. Secondly, I am introI during a bill this week which will ■ add $1 billion a year; to Interstate construction funds, thus hastening the completion date. Other bills which bear my name I will -provide safety standards for cars and tires, and will help to' eliminate higii accident areas — socalled’ “death zones” from older highways. The nation is not numb to traffic accidents. By working together, we can and we will return safety and sanity to our highways. When harvesting early apples and other tire fruit, handle them carefully to prevent bruising and subsequent rotting, remind Purdue, university horticulturists. Control crabgrass now so it won’t go to seed, suggest. Purdue university horticulturists. Apply crabgras> control chemicals as directed on the , container, or clean up mechanically. '
