Intire house which was sent to us by Sidney Reid of Chicago. We later learned that Mr. Me Intire was a photographer and have recently been loaned two photos that were taken by Mr. M. The photos are the property of Mrs. Harry (Gwen) Martin of Our Town. The photo above is of J. L. Martin. We’ll use the second photo next week. $ * * In our mail this week we received a letter from Grace (Benson) Brebner of Twin Peaks, Calif. Mrs. Brebner states that she didn’t know anything about Mr.

Mclntire but, “what a host of memories of days long past came to mind as I looked at the picture of the Mclntire house that Sidney Reid sent you!” She continued, “When my family lived in the Mclntire house from 1909 to 1914, I thought of it as the Benson house, of course. At that time it was owned by captain Jack North, who lived with Mrs. North and the Ruley family just two doors south of us, in another large brick house. “My father had his doctor’s office on the north side of the Me Intire house, but since there were 13 rooms in the house (including two bathrooms) and a large attic and basement, we weren’t cramped for living space. “As I recall those days, we all enjoyed the years in the big house, even though—when mother was tired of so much house work—she often said the place was a ‘woman killer.* “When I took my daughter, Linda, to see the house for the first time a few years ago and found it in such a sad state of disrepair, I was heart-sick and remembered the wisdom in Thomas Wolfe’s book, “You Can’t Go Home Again.” “But strangely enough, when I think, now, of the house, it is as it used to be, and the one room that stands out in my memory is my father’s reception room (which we used as a family room when no patients were there). It had a fireplace, red walls and black walnut woodwork; also a built-in black walnut bookcase that ran along the south side of the room and to the large front window on the west. Mother often read to my sister Helen and me in front of the fireplace on winter evenings. “And, I also remember, most of the time there were other children there to listen, too. Melba Method, Helen Grimes, and Becky Ruley being almost as avid listeners as Helen and I. “Thank you, Jeri, for helping to jog my memory. There are so many happy memories buried away in our minds. I think I could write a book about mine. How about you, Sidney?” * * * We are enjoying the cooler, almost fall weather, in Our Town with bright blue September skies and temperatures holding in the 70’s. It has its advantages over the 95 degree head of July and August. * * « Members of the Order of the Eastern Star are planning a card party to be held in the fire station on Monday, Sept. 22, at 7:30 p.m.

S /T / I PLANS OPEN HOUSE — The new Custom Farm Service, located on old road 15 three miles south of Milford, is planning its open house from 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20. Co-managers of the plant are Dale Fawley and Max Davis, stating the plant is a Citgo Oil Co. facility serving Kosciusko county farmers. It is in the company’s Winamac district. The plant does soil testing and supplies farmers with anhydrous ammonia, liquid, bulk and bagged fertilizers.

The entire community is invited to attend. As I understand it “Miss Hawaii” might be in attendance. $1 s & Preparations are moving along for the Lions club 25th an<versary celebration on the 29th at Wawasee high school. The Leesburg club, which was co-sponsored by Milford and Goshen, is observing its 25th anniversary on September 27 with a dinner set in the Shrine building at Warsaw. Lion Ed Sauer, past district governor, of Warsaw, will MC both events. Mrs. Don Wolferman Honored At Shower Forty ladies and girls of the Milford First Brethren church were in attendance last 'i'uesday evening at a pink and blue shower given in honor of Mrs. Don Wolferman in the social room of the church. A color scheme of pink and blue was carried out in the decorations of the gift table, which was centered with a stork, miniature dolls and doll carriages, and pink candles. The same colors were used in the napkins and other decorations. Each person wrote out a series of advice based on the name Wolferman, which, when read proved to be humorous, practical and unusual. They were given to the guest of honor for future use. Suggested names for the baby were listed by the guests and also given to Mrs. Wolferman. The committee in charge, Mrs. Charles Kerlin, Mrs. Steven R. Baumgartner and Mrs. Glen Bixler, served refreshments.
