By JEM SEELY The official records of the Hol-stein-Friesian Association show another cutstanding dairy cow in this area. A two-year-old in the herd of Harold Wilson of near Our Town made the third highest record for milk ever made in this state for that age with a 365day production of 22,290 pounds of milk, a 3.5 test and 771 pounds of butterfat. « ? * Friend husband is really celebrating this week — it’s Michigan week. The purpose of the week is to promote Michigan nationally and worldwide and to bring all Michigan people together in programs for advancement of then state. Is there an Indiana week? ❖ ❖ $ Speaking of Indiana, a 500 mile race week end vacation will be awarded to the winners of “The Dating Game” oh the program nationally telecast Thursday afternoon. They will fly to Indianapolis from the west coast on the evening of the 29th and stay in the city until May 31. Scenes from the 500 Mile Race will be used as a backdrop for “The Newlywed Game” on Saturday night, May 24, thus giving references to the Hcosier Memorial Day classic. Brownie Troop 222 of Our Town seems to be in a bit of trouble. The girls have no sponsor! Anyone interested in the Brownies should contact the troop’s leader, Mrs. Tcmmy Dye. The young girls of Our Town need an interesting activity and we can think of none better than the Brownie and Girl Scout troops. What happened to our warm weather? Our forecast states that precipitation will be less than normal with total rainfail for the entire month to measure less than two inches. We are to have warm temperatures with several days in the SO's. We hope the forecast is right as we are getting tired of this cool and rainy weather “enjoyed” over the week end. The hail cn Sunday morning was something else and the temperatures of the past few days haven’t even been close to 90. Wawasee’s first commencement exercises has been set for June 1 in the high school gym at 6:30 p. m. Baccalaureate services fcr the 177 members of the graduating class will be held at 2:30 that afternoon. Summer school classes for the high school have been released with driver education classes scheduled for Milford and North Webster junior high schools as well as WHS. t This will save parents of Our Town from driving students to Wawasee for classes everyday. CHAIRMAN URGES CERTIFICATION OF WHEAT ACREAGE Kosciusko county will be using the “Farmer Certification” method of obtaining wheat and diverted acreages again this year. This applies to producers complying with the 1969 wheat program. Under this method each producer is required to certify the crop acreages involved. The final date for wheat certification is June 10. 1969. This is accomplished by the producer calling at the ASCS county office and indicating by photography the acreages and crops involved. If the producer has over planted. certification should not be made until the acres to be harvested are brought within the allotted acrage. Loss of program benefits would result from producer failure to accurately and timely certify. The certification action takes the place of a reporter visiting each farm in the program. Spot checking of 25 per cent of the farm in the program is required < to maintain administrative control.

THE EDITOR

Junk Mail?

Dear Editor: The alumni officers and other alumni of Syracuse high school have been busy in the past couple of weeks addressing and stamping letters to reach other Syracuse high school alumni to tell them of the annual dinner and meeting. A part of this work and effort has been dumped by the local post office. We were under the impression our letters were first class mail. All had return addresses and six cent postage. Not so, said our post office — — class junk mail, they say. So, if a letter was sent to a residence address, but the addresses has a post office box — the letter was tossed in the waste basket. Why didn’t they tell us what was necessary in their opinion, fcr first class mail when the one thousand stamps were purchased? Why didn’t they tell us when the letters were posted in sorted and tied stacks? This is a once

a year project with very limited resources. And with alumni at the helm of the post office, they are fully aware of the effort being made. Another post office in the area told us the letters were first class mail, and if the addresses were incorrect, should have been returned to the sender. The secretary is receiving letters with incorrect addresses from ether cities and towns — why, if it is third class junk mail? We are not the only people who have had problems with the Syracuse pest office. Ask others. One businessman told me he has taken his mail out of town for quite seme time. Are ycu dissatisfied with the service? How about the real junk mail you receive almost every day? Some of it, pure filth. Here is an address. Maybe they have the answers. It’s worth a try anyway.
