Clean Carpeting For The Holidays If you check with your local carpet and rug cleaners, you may be surprised to find out how little you would have to sneak out of your Christmas shopping budget to make the living room carpet look clean and fresh for the holidays. If your carpeting needs cleaning, Elkin Minter, Purdue university extension home management specialist, recommends that you have it done now before soil and grit become more deeply imbedded. Commercial cleaners, with their specially designed heavy equipment, can clean your carpeting more thoroughly than you can yourself. They also have the “know how” to remove stubborn spots and stains. However, if the carpeting is just slightly soiled or has a few greasy spots and you have the necessary supplies, you may prefer to clean the floor covering yourself. Then you can fit the cleaning into your pre-holiday schedule when it’s convenient. Don’t forget to put heavy foil under the furniture legs if you wet shampoo the floor. Then, plan to re-route the family traffic for at least 24 hours to allow the pile to dry thoroughly. It will feel dry before it actually is. Whether you have the carpeting commercially cleaned or do it yourself, a soil retardant will help keep the carpeting looking clean through the wintertime tracking in of slush and mud. The soil retardants are often included in the cleaning solution. .tA,

I | Around Town / I Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Have you been in the I post office lately? Santa has been there and has decorated the lobby with greens and bright Christmas lights. It’s really worth a visit to the building just to see the decorations. ♦ * * Another building worth visiting is the library. The window behind Mrs. Kerlin’s desk is out of this world. Members of the American Legion’s Junior Auxiliary made beautiful decorations at their meeting last week and have them on display at the library. They hang from red ribbons in the window. In front of the window is a large bouquet in red, green and gold. It is the handiwork of Mrs. Joe Ostendorf of Our Town. Santas, a Nativity scene and other Christmas decorations are to be found throughout the building. ♦ * ♦ Jean Kaiser, now choir director at Lafayette Jeff, recently helped to direct the choir on a Christmas record. The record is for sale. Jean is the daughter of Robert Kaiser of near Our Town and is a graduate of MHS. * * * Received the following poem from Mount Wawasee and thought it worth printing. The first organizational meeting of the ski club will be held this evening at 7:30 p.m. in the ski lodge. The poem follows: Winter is here so why complain, Snow is prettier than rain Mount Wawasee Ski club is readv to go

Now isn’t that healthier than a TV show? We’ll party and gab, the hills we’ll schuss Toughen those muscles that are now like mush We think you’ll like it so give it a try You can’t spend the season doing nothing but cry. ♦ ♦ ♦ Did you see Santa on Friday afternoon? He arrived in Our Town at 3:30 promptly via fire engine. For those of you in the Sunshine state, it even maanged to snow a little for his arrival. The wind blew and it was winter. • ♦ • After failing to open the big vault at the First National Bank in Milford last Thursday morning at the appointed hour, red-faced bank manager Gordon Brubaker no doubt looked at the calander to see if it was Friday, Dec. 13, only to find it was Thursday, Dec. 12. As a result of the oversight, the vault could not be opened all day, and bank employees were at a loss for ready cash to transact the day’s business. Mr. Brubaker and others at the bank were busy the day long explaining what had happened. Wanna bet it won’t happen again right away? Friend husband joining yours truly in wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. A special wish for Christmas joy goes to his mom and dad, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Seely of Jonesville, Mich., and to my folks, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bushong of Waubee Lake.
