i |AroundJ| Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY. How about this weather? Everyone who is still wintering in Florida can come back to Milford now—it’s safe, or at least we hope it’s not going to snow anymore. We’ve been having beautiful weather the past few days ... my jonquils are even in bloom. • * * It’s moving time again . . . Mr. and Mrs. Henry Schmidt and young son have moved from their home on Catherine street to one in the Dewart Lake area. Mr. and Mrs. John Hare, Tammy and Robbie, are in the process of moving into the home on Catherine street vacated by the Schmidts. Mrs. Schmidt is the former Debbie Arthur while Mrs. Hare is the former Karen Sue Scott. Seems we’re always backing one worthy money making project or another, so this week we’ll put a plug in for the Lakeland Evening Bridge O Rama card party planned for Monday night in the Lakeland Youth Center. Proceeds from the evening will be given to the Wawasee Boosters to defray costs of purchasing athletic equipment and uniforms, chorus robes and band uniforms for the students at Wawasee high school. Speaking of WHS, the athletes of the school are presently engaged in track, golf and tennis matches with other Northern Lakes Conference teams. The school has an average track team and excellent golf team in the past, but this is a first for tennis in the Lakeland area. I should have said a first for tennis in the school system since Homer Shoop built a nice tennis court on his property at Lake Wawasee. Mr. Shoop, North Webster banker, is an expert tennis player. * ♦ * Did you see the five foot pink bunny that C. S. Ford gave away for Easter? We saw it riding in a car down Main street last Thursday afternoon. He’s a real cute bunny and should make his new owner real happy. ♦ ♦ * Members of the Milford town board have been receiving complaints again about dogs running loose in town. They urge all dog owners to keep their pets on their own property at all times. * * ♦ The park board has been active since its appointment last month. Members held two meetings and have many ideas for improvement of the town owned Lakeside park. Plans are to officially open the park on Memorial day as in past years. Mr. and Mrs. Reed Place of r 1 wi» operate the concession stand this summer and will be in charge of the pavillion reservation book. A ne w book will be purchased and all reservations made previously must be confirmed.
