By JERI SEELY Last week was one for Americans to be glued to their television sets. First for the World Series Which excites millions each year and then for the lift-off of Apollo 7 on Friday morning. We’ll have to admit we were pulling for the Tigers in the series—what else could we do when friend husband was raised in what is termed as Tiger country. Both he and Leon Newman came from Hillsdale county in Michigan. Just as thrilling, if not more so, was the launching of the Apollo 7. It’s always exciting to watch one of the space crafts headed into orbit and our prayers go with each flight. The United Methodist church parsonage was recently. painted and the parsonage at the Christian church is currently receiving a new coat of paint. The Richard Sumners have their home white while the Carl Shearer family will soon be living in an avocado home with white trim. We like both of them with their fresh, clean look. & S-S Jjs If we were giving prizes for trees this fall, our first palce winners would be hard to choose. We do think the red maples with their j flaming leaves would top the list though. Have you noticed the one near the Roger Graff home or the one near the Herb Baumgartner home? They are breath-taking.
