A football field and other recreational facilities will be built on the land in 1 the future. The corporation is plan- 1 ning to purchase an additional 40 1 acres under “Greenspan" next f year if their plans work out. r Approximately 200 park board offinals. school board officials, and r ASC personnel attended a discus- t sion session at the Hotel Elkhart in Elkhart, and the dinner presentation afterward.

Along Main Street

By GEORGIA BUSTER .Another year almost gone, so many have said “where has the year gone?” We keep busy and the days go by, but most of us can see that we have accomplished something in the past year, if not all that we intended to. The snow that fell December 25 was beautiful and somehow made the Christmas season complete. I do believe that this year most shoppers were out early and by the 24th were all through so that there was not that last minute rush. • • • The staff of The M-J had a wonderful party at the Baumgartner home on Friday noon. It was to have been a surprise and held in the Milford office, but due to Jane’s accident, the Baumgartners were told and it was held in the home. We had a good dinner with the Milford and Syracuse workers all attending. After the meal we went into the living room and opened gifts that were under the Christmas tree. Arch and Della enjoyed the day and both spoke on their best Christmas gift, the fact that Jane had not been seriously injured in her recent accident. I think we all offered up a prayer of thanks for that. • • • In my card from Lulu Francis at Lake Worth. Fla., she said they were j having cool weather again there. She keeps up on the Syracuse news I with her Mail-Journal. Too bad we can't have a display contest in town since some of the home and yards here are so pretty. • • • The response to the call for books, magazines and puzzles for the nldiana State Prison has been very good. This year they are asking for Bibles, jigsaw puzzles and calendars for the prison. After all these men are paying their debt to society and if they find a need for good reading, and the state can not provide it, then we can do a little by donating books and magazines we no longer need ourselves. Kenneth Haney of r 2 Milford is the man behind this project and has received a letter from Mr. Payne, director of education at the Indiana State Prison thanking him and all the contributors from this area for the three tons of books and magazines that were picked up last year. There is still time to bring in j books and magazines as Mr. Haney will not pick them op here on- j til January 2. • * * Word from the general offices of the Church of God at Anderson is that the men of the church, using the theme. “Vacation With A Purpose.” will construct a new church building next summer on the Indian reservation at Wounded Knee, S. D. A family camp will be set up for members’ use as families on vacations work at the church site. | With Matty back up town and Walt Calnon on the mend, looks like it will be business as usual with the town and township January 1. 1967. 1 hope everyone has a very good New Year and a safe one. i Lakeland I Youth News | By BUD SMITH The main thing I want to mention this week is our New Year’s Eve dance The Youth Center will open at 6:30 as usual, but the dance will not start until 9. This will be a dress-up affair, meaning ties and 1 coats or sweaters for the boys and skirts and btouses or dresses for i the girts. ' We ask that each person bring a few sandwiches, cookies or a cake tor anything that can be eaten withi out the aid of table sen ice We will ■ dance until midnight and then have our banquet. The center will dose al I am. Music will be provided by the Five Good Reasons”. In case the new name is unfamiliar, this is the "Olympics". 1 sincerely appreciated the contributions to the Heart Warmer table. We found a family which was in need and were thankful for the • gifts. 1 ; fIL AnTHRIII . n *_JS?r ?

NORTH MANCHESTER - John L. Leffel, who for the past 52 years has been an active reporter and columnist for the North Manchester News-Journal, wrote his final copy for that newspaper issue of December 1. He started in December, 1914, and except during an interlude in service during World War I. has been continually on the staff of the newspaper. In his final article written for the News-Journal, Mr. Leffel wrote in part as follows: “Woodrow Wilson was president at the time. World War I and another World War as well as war in Korea and now war in Viet Nam. where we have a bear by the tail and haven't found away to let loose. “Although North Manchester in the downtown business section lias not changed much since 1915, the personnel has changed almost completely. A few are living, but they have retired. “Stores in 1915 were open at 7 or 8 in the morning and closed at 9 p m. on Wednesday and yourself at the grocery stores Saturday. You did not serve but Were waited on by clerks. Merchandise was for the most part on shelves behind counters. “There were 10 passenger trains each Shy through North Manchester on the two railroads, the Big Four and the Vandalia line. One of the first assignment of this writer was to “meet” the trains. You went by train if you were going any

n distance and a trip to Wabash, Logs ansport or Columbia City was worth [- a short news item. r “Although automobiles were in y use, most people around here came i- to town in horse-drawn rigs, and livery and tie barns did a good j business on Saturdays. “A team of horses was housed in i the fire station, and when the fire - alarm sounded the stall gates openi ed and they trotted out under the 1 overhanding harness that was hitched to the fire wagon. A quick snap t of the collars and they were ready to r go. > “A steam plant was in operation ? at the water plant. Water from I flowing wells flowed into a reservoir and was then pumped into the 1 mains. Use of water was not as ex--5 tensive, however, for many homes ’ were not modern and the little buildings out back were a common ’ sight. “Ladies’ dresses were long and the sight of a shapely ankle raised ' more eyebrows then, than the above : the knee hemlines do today. 1 “If you died you made the trip 1 to the cemetery in a black hearse, pulled by two black horses. There was considerable opposition when the first motor hearses came into > use. “Manchester college under its dynamic president Otho Winger, was gradually emerging as an educational institution that was being recognized in the state and nation. “Fortunately, so far as this writ-

er is concerned, there has been much more good than bad to write about people of the North Manchester community. There has been much more pleasure in telling the good about people than that which was unfavorable”. Mr. Leffel and his wife were guests of honor at a dinner at the Hotel Sheller on November 30 arranged by the new publishers and employes of the newspaper, and gifts were presented by his co-co-workers. The News-Journal was recently purchased by Mr. and Mrs. 1 Ernest Eschbach, who came from i Iowa; from the widow of the late j Roland Schmedel, for many years | publisher of the paper. < Milford Youth 11 Center News ’ s By Becky Brown The Youth Center is going to have J a big dance December 31.
