JWTI j I i au ytr , n . r A | Milford, Ind. j By JERI SEELY In view of National Education Week—November 5-11—first graders in Our Town’s schools were asked to tell what education means to them. Some very surprising and delightful answers resulted as the youngsters tried to explain a word that must very long to them. Mark Baumgartner staled the following: “It means arithmetic, your numbers, perhaps your ABC's and learning to read and that’s all”. “Education means to work with my mom. washing dishes, running the sweeper and coming to school to learn", says Lynette Miller. Third grader Darcy Dean wrote, “I don’t know what education means to me, but I do know that education is important to school". W’e’re sure that with the fine educational system we have here in the Lakeland area it won't be too many years before these youngsters learn the meaning of education. • • • Speaking of education, we went to the foot of the class this week (twice). First was when we failed to give Della B. the definition of a hippy. She tells us it’s a person who looks like Tarzan, acts like Jane and smells like Cheta. And secondly when we thought the joke wan clever, tried it out on friend husband who never thinks my jokes are funny. After giving us what he thought was a proper answer for the definition and hearing Della's version, he sat stonefaced and Informed us that he'd beard it before. Oh well, you can’t win them all. • • • News flash to all persons in the Sunshine slate who like to keep posted on the weather in Our Town. It began to snow in Milford at 3:10 p.m, Friday, We'd say that was the first official snow here although several persons say they saw flurries earlier Friday’s flakes were large enough they left no doubt. O O 0 Clerk-treasurer Edith Baumgartner tells us Our Town has animal protection too. Some towns have police dogs, we have a police cat Seems the policemen here befriended a eat It also seems that she's about to become a mother. • • • Have you heard about Della’s new business? She’s selling (dives. • • • Eldon Beer of 20th Century restaurant is showing friends a unique floral display he has in Us place of

Jr., has put the experience he gained in photography while a student at Milford high school to good use. He completed an 18month tour of duty in Germany with the United States forces recently, and while there he took a lot of color pictures, both at his base and on a trip to East Berlin. Young Price has shown these pictures to several local groups and as we understand from those who have seen them, they are very interesting.

Dialing Changes Announced By- - Company At 2:01 a.m. on Novemer 5, 1967, the United Telephone Company of Indiana, Inc., will place into service new facilities for Warsaw and Leesburg. Personnel of both United and the North Electric Company of Galion, Ohio, have been at work for some time installing new central office switching equipment in these exchanges. The installations, which completely repdace present facilities, will provide more reliable communications service to this area and will allow United to expand both the quantity and the quality of customer Services. Previously, all telephone customers using the Warsaw area directory were requested to retain their March 1966 directories for use until the replacement of the Warsaw switching equipment. With the date of the actual replacement nearing, customers are now being alerted concerning various telephone number and dialing procedural changes that will take place following the equipment changeover. Warsaw and Leesburg The Warsaw and Leesburg exchanges will experience Several major changes regarding use of the Direct Distance Dialing (DDD) system: ' , 1) It will be necessary for customers to dial all seven digits of an assigned telephone number in order to properly complete local and DDD calls. In cases where all seven digits are not dialed, a wrong number or incompleted call will result. 2» Telephone numbers of customers having 1- and 2-party senice will be automatically identified and recorded by special equipment on all DDD calls. After dialing, all re-1 (pared numbers, the caller will hear tone pulses indicating mechanical completion of the call. (Customers with other than 1- and 2-party service will continue to receive a “beepbeep” tone upon dialing through the DDD equipment This tone signifies that an operator is waiting to receive the telephone number from which the call is being placed — not the number being called.) 3> AH customers will dial only the

digit “1” to access the DDD network, rather than “112” as in the past. » Millersburg With the exception of Millersburg, all United exchanges listed in the Warsaw area directory are presently toll centered in Warsaw, and have had access to the Direct Distance Dialing network. On the date of the Warsaw’ cutover, the Millersburg exchange will also have access to the DDD network. Millersburg customers are required to dial all seven digits of an assigned telephone number, and will dial “1” to access equipment for DDD calls. Millersburg - and 2-party telephone numbers will also be automatically identified. Millersburg customers with other than 1- or 2party service placing DDD calls w’fll hear the “beep-beep” tone signifying that an operator is waiting on the line to record the telephone number from which the call is being made.
