Stieglitz is taking courses at Wheaton college that will better prepare him for the missionary work in West Irian. He is also doing occasional week end ministries and taking part •r ; in some of the missionary conferences in the area. Daughter Becky, who is in the fourth grade, is having her first experience in a public school and Diana, five in March, was elated last December by the Christmas decorations in America. They hope to return to Dania in the west Irian (formerly Dutch New Guinea) in June. ♦ ♦ • Mrs. Charles Kerlin, Our Town’s librarian, has a dream! She would like to see the library’s basement converted into a children’s department. But before the dream can come true she needs approval from the library board and funds to carry the project through. Persons giving memoriams to the library in honor of loved ones might keep this project in mind as the youngsters do need a place of their own’and with the kindergarten class meeting at the school there is room for a children’s department there. * * * Don’t forget the Craig Ruch community-wide fish fry Saturday. It will be in the high school gym with serving from 5 to 8 p. m. Even the town board has joined the activities of the day. Members have issued a resolution proclaiming Saturday as Craig Rudi day! ♦ * ♦ What’s this we hear about the possibilities of forming a property owners’ association at Waubee lake? Sounds like a good 1dea! If you are a lake resident and interested in such an association, why not call John B. Augsburger or Dennis Sharp. They 'have more
information on the forming of such an association. * * * Rhetama’s final production is coming May 5 and 6. On those dates the club will present “Tenhouse of the August Moon” under the direction of William Dorsey and starring many of the club’s leading actors and actresses. Plan now to attend. ♦ * ♦ Have you noticed the tulips at the fire station? They are just beautiful this year and have been blooming for quite some time. • ♦ * John Davidsen, Van Buren township trustee, has reminded residents of this township that May 15 is the last day for filing assessments. He is at the fire station in Our Town from 9 a.m. until 5 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays and evenings by appointment. If you haven’t been in to see him yet why not make a point to do so this week end. * ♦ ♦ We received a letter in this afternoon’s mail written to Mr. Baumgartner from Lydia Tucker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Tucker of r 1. Lydia won the Easter coloring contest sponsored recently by the Milford merchants and The M-J. Her letter follows: “Thank you for the five dollars. I thought I had first prize only, but when I read the paper I knew I had won the grand prize also. I plan to use the money for my first 4-H calf. "Augsburger’s IGA gave me a great big bunny. Thank you again”. Lydia has a twin sister, Laura, and three older brothers, Craig, Brian and Steven. We hope the calf she buys for 4-H can take grand prize awards, too. Remembering back a year or two, her brother Craig had one that did.

We have several books, both old and new written about and by the several presidential candidates for 1968. On Robert F. Kennedy we have “R.F.K., the Man Who Would Be President” by Ralph De Toledano and a book by Kennedy “To Seek A Never World”. We have two books written by Richard Nixon, “Six Crises” and “The Challenge We Face”. A recent book by Eugene J. McCarthy is “The Limits of Power”. Now is a good time to find out more about what these candidates think about problems we all face. Some new books are “Saint Peter’s” bv James Lees - Milne, a beautifully illustrated history of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome; “The Oxford Companion to English Literature” by Sir Paul Harvey, an excellent reference source of biographies, plot outlines and character listings in English literature; and “Out West on the Overland Train” by Richard Reinhardt, a sentimental comparison of the first overland excursion in 1877 by Frank Leslie and one taken by the author in 1967. Also we have many of the current listings on the best seller list as well as several new teenage books. Story hour will be held Friday, April 26, from 3:30-4:30.
