By GEORGIA BUSTER (Held from last week) Do you believe history repeats itself? I came across a small article by Abraham Lincoln, part of* an, address before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, 111., made by Mr. Lincoln on January 27, 1837. He said “I hope I am not overwary; but if I am not, there is even now something of ill omen amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which prevades the country-the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts, and the worse than savage mobs for executive ministers of justice. As we passed the anniversary cf Lincoln’s birth, it might be well to look back at his life and his great speeches, like—“all men are created equal” that we know but in our hurry and selfishness we forget. We forgot the high standards of our heritage. A number of students were home from colleges for the between semester vacation. * * * Some changes in town: The license branch moved to its Mike’s Record Shop; Fred Byland is opening up a jewelry store, next door to where the license branch was; and I hear a shoe repair shop is a physical examination last week at South Bend and was placed in class one. The Huffman brothers, John and Frank, were in Milford Tuesday to be present at the 82d birthday anniversary of their mother. Mrs. J. W. Robinson was completely surprised on Friday of last week when about 20 of her neighbors and friends assembled at her home at 11 o’clock with well filled baskets in remembrance of her birthday which occurred on February 10. Russell Ogden, who now has the rank of sergeant major, and who has been at home for some time will leave for the Illinois university Friday. D. Culp, who has been staying at the home of George Grow and in other homes during the winter, is in a very poor state of health.
to go in where the license branch was. Syracuse has needed both of these businesses. sjt $ ♦ We are on the last lap of winter and according to “Batch”, the butcher at Connolly’s Grocery, every day, no matter how bad, is one day closer to spring. Is my face red? I had a small local a couple of weeks ago that , Mrs. Bill Brammer had gone to Chicago. That is what I heard. Then Betty told me she and Bill had gone to Chicago to attend the spring furniture show. I bad taken for granted that Betty had gone to spend a day, like several others, who had gone on the B and O. Sorry. $ The Pickwick Theatre is going all out to furnish this community with the best of movies. “The Bible” will rim February 21 through 27 and that is one a lot of folks have asked for. Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book” should bring out every child in the community and will be followed by “The Sound of Music” and “Charlie, the Lonesome Cougar”. If any group would like to have a special show of “The Bible”, it can call Carl Willard. * « * Tom Knoop of W. R. Thomas is spending a few week ends in Elkhart. Believe he gees about every other one. Tom is a member of the Indiana National Guard. * * # There is talk of the Methodist Thrift Shop going out of business after six years. It is going to have to move and so far no location has been found. Also the volunteer help is getting hard to find. The shop is open Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturday, 1 to 5, and needs two ladies fcr each day. Mrs. Minnie Brinkman and Mrs. Nelson Blough have worked almost every week. The shop will be missed for it not only sells, but donates to a number of good causes, giving clothing from the shop as well as other items. I intend to start baking dirt next week for my early plants. I will have a lot of cactus this spring. ♦ ♦ Opal E. Miller, owner and operator of Opal’s Beauty Salon, has been the object of much conversation of late. She says folks are getting her mixed up with another Opal Miller of Syracuse. To make things even more confusing, her box number is 1 while the other Opal resides on r 1. Has Accident Charles Weisser figured in a freak accident near the garage at his home on r 1 Milford on the evening of February 5. He is recovering.
