Bs??. ffiW",. • <n;*' . : r * riffPlßp^f FIRST UF CHECK — Charles Ker, left, president of the Kosciusko county United Fund drive, is smiling sardonically as he turns over a check for $139 to UF treasurer Merle Mock, right. With them is deputy sheriff Reger Fellows and Sam Dungan. When Ker said he would give $1 for each person at the kick-off meeting last Thursday night at the Shrine building at the fairgrounds, Dungan took him at his word and showed up with deputy Fellows to make sure Ker didn’t renege on the promise.

Milford, Ind. By JERI SEf?LY Hasn't the weather been beautiful for this time of year? The days have been cooler, but really not cold, the sun is bright and the air smells so fresh. And, no frost as yei! s * * We spotted Dr. H. C. Snyder and Rev. Richard Sumner Monday noon in the doctor’s car. They were on their way to the golf course for an afternoon on the greens. * * * Friend husband and I joined ether Lakeland residents at the Wawasee high school —Jim town football game Saturday night. The game was played on the Wawasee field and was under the lights. Wawasee won 30-0. i A quick way to learn the new school song is to join in when the band plays it—it’s repeated after each Wawasee touch--4 down. The words are printed on the program. As we mentioned last spTing we had tears in our eyes as we watched the MHS band march past in the Memorial Day parade. But it was with a new pride that we watched the Wawasee high school band take the field at halftime. They looked so sharp in their new uniforms and did a good jgb at marching, too. * * * Our congratulations to Mrs. Michael (Gloria Sierk) Blase and Ida Juarez of near Our Town. Both received their citizenship papers last month. Gloria is a graduate of Milford high school and Ida is a senior at Wawasee high school. Both come from Panama. * * * Waubee Lake Property Owners are in the process o£ forming an association. It will be used for the betterment of the lake area. Dennis Sharp is serving as temporary chairman. Mr. Sharp and Mrs. Richard (Linda) Neff are in fcharge of membership.

PRESS IMPORTANT TO FOUNDING FATHERS CLARENCE, N. Y., PRESS: “Freedom of the press was considered so important to our founding fathers that it became the first of ten amendments to our Constitution which were required before its adoption. Newspaper editors often write about this subject . . . The right of newspapers to print what they believe to be the news and the truth along with editorial opinions and recommendations to readers is an essential ingredient toward making our form of democracy work. At the same time there is an inherent obligation of each adult citizen to inform himself on public matters and to learn something about the issues on which he may be expected to express an opinion at the polls”.

It Happened In . .. Milford, Indiana^Sm Item Taken From The Files Os £ The Milford Mail TqSjMjT ■

20 YEARS AGO, SEPT. 30, 1948 The basement of the First Brethren church is being remodeled and redecorated. It will soon be ready for use. The improvement is quite extensive and •will improve the possibilities of teaching in the primary department of the Sunday school. Rally Day and Promotion Day will be observed by the Leesburg Brethren church next Sunday with services throughout the day and evening. There will be addresses by visiting speakers, several fine musical selections and other interesting features. A basket dinner will be enjoyed at noon. A heavy responsibility rests with the press and other organs of information to aid in this important work. In their best traditions, it is for them, in the language of the United Nations, “to seek the truth without prejudice and report the facts without malicious intent.” Miniature argyle socks are the latest good luck trophies to hang in their jalopies. Os course, they are made by their favorite Needle Nudgers. And, boys who have big collections of hand knit argyles are now wearing different patterns and colors together instead of matching pairs. Such a dazzling display. Shoe pockets, when hung on the inside of a cleaning closet door, provide a useful container for many small articles such as dustcloths, whiskbrooms and clothes. 30 YEARS AGO, SEPT. 29, 1938 Bill Coy will play the base horn in the band instead of the trombone. Milford golfers have been invited to participate in a tournament to be played at the South Shore golf course Thursday afternoon. A number of nice prizes have been arranged. The Indiana Teachers Association will meet Thursday and Friday, Oct. 27 and 28. The Milford Trojans took it on the jaw Friday night when North Webster edged them out with a 6 5 victory. At one time Perry’s team led 5-2, but due to bad breaks, and the fast hurling of Bennett, the Webster boys’ ace hurler, the Trojans couldn’t quite put it over. Don Tribble tossed the ball across the plate for the Trojans and Harold Kaiser chalked up three of the five scores made during the game.

F, Peterson and seemed to be busy most of the time feeding those who had grown hungry walking around viewing the articles on exhibition. In front of the Miles and Higbee Bank was a fine display of field products, that were immune to frost and dry weather and their complexion showed it.

This booth attracted much attention of the farmers and farmers’ wives.

Bliss Hower, son of William Hower of Milford who is now at Fort Riley, Kans., came to Milford Sunday night on a 15-day furlough. He was first stationed at a camp near the western coast, and later transferred to the Kansas camp. He is a member of the Medical corps and will soon go overseas, at least that is his greatest desire.
