Five Milford Teenagers Implicated In Several Illegal Entries
Milford police chief Don Drake revealed Monday that five teenagers had been implicated in the illegal entries at the Milford elementary school and the Paul Ruch home in recent weeks. The boys are 14 and 15 years of age, three being of Spanish descent and the other two white. Milford’s elementary school was first entered the latter part of October and police have been investigating since that time. Friday, principal Gorman Miller called to report a second and third entry. The second occurred on December 11 and the third on December 19. Mr. Ruch reported to the police on December 7 that on several different occasions someone had entered his home. Money, a 22 bolt action rifle and two rods and reels were among the missing items. Last Friday Drake talked with school officials and others and in the afternoon returned to the school and picked up one suspect. The youth was taken to the police station and reelased after

extensive questioning. He denied having anything to do with the robberies. A second youth was questioned. He too denied the illegal entries and robberies. When the first youth was requestioned he admitted taking part in the thefts. The boys climbed on the roof of the elementary school, thru the door to the boiler room to gain entrance to that building. Mr. Ruch’s doors were unlocked. At the school they stole milk and some money plus the bank deposit bag taken on the first entry. The three boys of Spanish descent were only involved in the first robbery at the school. . They were undecided as to how much money had been taken. Change had been taken to the grocery stone and to the drug store and changed into dollar bills. Some of the money was buried on the east side of the telephone building. Upon investigating, $3.61 was found. The rifle was found in the home of one of
the teenagers. The butt plate was missing and some wood had been chipped from the stock. The rods and reels had been thrown in the creek and were not recovered, nor was the money bag that had been thrown in a trash can. In all, approximately S3O in cash and an unknown amount of milk had been taken from the school. Mr. Ruch reported $11.50 in Kennedy half dollars, $7 in quarters and $7 in dimes had been taken phis the rods and reels, the rifle and boxes of shells. Drake estimated $125 had been taken in all. Restitution must be made by the parents of the teenagers. No charges have been filed. Keeping Christmas Flowering Plants When plants grown in a greenhouse are brought into your home, they’re sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, says John Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist.
To keep your Christmas flowering plants looking fresh longer, follow these suggestions from Wott: —avoid locations which are excessively hot or cold —avoid rapid temperature changes —do not allow foliage to wilt —do not expose the plant to hot or cold drafts Flowering plants such as poinsettias, azaleas and crysanthemums should be kept at 65-70 degrees F. during the day and five degrees lower at night. Cyclamen grow best at temoeratures about 10 degrees lower than the other plants. Although most homes are warmer than the recommended temperatures, Wott urges keeping plants in locations as near the ideal temperature as possible. Put plants in a south or west window, where they will get more sunlight. But don’t let any part of the plant touch the cold

windowpane, says Wott. Flowering plants usually need a lot of water. Water when soil feels dry from either top or bottom until water runs freely out the drainage hole in the container. Do not allow the plant to stand in water, however, warns Wott. This causes roots to rot. Remove blooms as they fade or set seed. Also remove yellowed foilage which detracts from the plant’s appearance. With these precautions, flowering plants should last several weeks. St. Francis Xavier Christmas Celebration St. Francis Xavier Parish will begin its Christmas observance with midnight Mass on Tuesday, Dec. 24. Father Gerald Puncheon, 0.5.
