Milford, IndL '*** ‘OMUIIIUIUUUUIHUUIIUIUIMMIIMMUV By JERI SEELY * ' We managed to “borrow” the above photo of Kelly Marie Brooks, daughter of former M-J employee Margaret Brooks and husband Jim. t Kelly’s first project after arriving at the family home on west Emeline street Sunday afternoon, was to watch a baseball game on television with her proud father. We wonder if she learned anything! We also wonder if her dad watched the baseball game or his new daughter. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Clayton (Si) Hollar, while Mrs. Goldie Hollar is a great grandmother. All are residents of Our Town. * o * Residents of Our Town commented on the play at Wawasee the other night with everyone praising the cast. Many, too, appreciated the way things were handled when the electricity went out. Instead of panic, things seemed to be well organized. 0 0 + Did you see “Sing Out Warsaw” on television Friday night. It was sponsored by the United Telephone Company and was an interesting and informative program. It is just one more way of proving that our entire society hasn’t fallen apart. We still have many teenagers doing useful and productive things with their spare time and not rioting and burning buildings. The adults behind the Warsaw group should be congratulated as should the teenagers who make up the singing group. sit * 4 ' Our congratulations go to Dennis Rumfelt of Goshen who was recently named outstanding young educator by the Goshen Jaycees. Dennis is a 1959 graduate of Milford high school and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rumfelt of near Our Town. He has been an elementary school guidance counselor at Chamberlain elementary school in Goshen for the past two years. Dennis graduated from Butler in 1964 and received his master’s degree from Purdue in 1967. * ■* * I do think Our Town should have a clean-up, paint-up, fix-up week. The long winter is past and warm weather has arrived (even though some are predieting a snow storm sometime before the end of the month.) Many people were out Saturday working in their yards and garages while others are still thinking about it. The amount of debris that gathers in one’s yard over the winter months is almost unbelieveable. * * * Leon Newman is once again in charge of club and organization dates for the. Lions birthday calendar. The Lions will soon be cut in full strength, taking orders for next year’s calendars. Anyone who knows of a, club or an organization that would like its dates listed should contact Mr. Newman. “I’m determined that the 1972 nominee shall not inherit a party as divided as that which nominated me.” Hubert H. Humphrey, forme* Vice President.
