MILFORD Library Notes By Mr*. Dorothea Kerlin The signs of spring can be many; the first robin, kites in the air, (and speaking of kites, you might be interested in the book, “Twenty-Five Kites That Fly”, with directions to make themi, crocuses in bloom, and the urge to clean out the attic cr. garage. The Indiana State Library is issuing a call for any material pertaining to Indiana history. That might include “Uncle John’s trip to. Virginia in 1883” or his trip to the local license bureau in 1968. That printed program or pamphlet which tells of a church social or grcup meeting might just be the thing needed for a historian’s notebook. Other items wanted and needed could include diaries, account books, business records, photographs, political pamphlets or speeches, town directories or gazeteers, newsapers prior to 1880, scrapbooks of Indiana interest, maps, etc. All of this material can be of extreme importance to presentday historians. Why? Simply because they are the materials of which history is made. Every year people from all parts of Indiana

Roy Pinkerton ENJOY WEEK IN SPAIN Mr. and Mrs. Billy Little of Milford enjoyed a week’s stay in Spain. The trip was a gift to them and was sponsored by an insurance company. Mr. and Mrs. Little departed from Detroit on March 15 and arrived in Malaga, Andalusia, with their flight time being approximately eight to nine hours in length. They stayed in the resort town of Torremolinos. The weather there was in the high 70’s or low 80 s and was sunny every day. The food there was mostly seafoods. Places of interest that the Littles enjoyed were Tangiers and one other city in Morocco. They went by ferry to the Rock of Gibraltar because Spain had closed off the land route. While visiting Gibraltar they were not allowed to buy anything because Spain did not allow any trade with Britain. They also viewed the El Hamera, a castle occupied by the Moors when they invaded and occupied Spain during the Bth century A. D. The Littles returned home on Saturday, March 22.
