facts about £ ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY This week’s photo was recently sent to Rev. Ralph Karstedt of the United Methodist church in Our Town and shows a group of church members sitting on the steps of the old M. E. church. We ran a photo of the old church several weeks ago. It burned to the ground in the 1920’5. The photo was sent by John Gilbert,, chairman of the board of Business Press International, Elm Crest, 111. It was taken some 60 years ago when Mr. Gilbert was a young lad and was on a tour in Indiana with a chorus. The chorus presented a concert at Winona Lake and stopped in Milford, too. If you recognize (anyone would you please let us know. Members of the church are especially interested in the identification of these members of yesteryear. * * * Bright and early on Saturday morning we were off with friend husband and brother John, an Indiana university student, for Bloomington and the lU-Illinois football game. Even though it turned off to be a dreary day weather-wise, it wasn’t too bad and the game proved to be an exciting one with Indiana the 41-20 victor over the visiting Illini. * * # Homecoming was held at the Christian church on Sunday with some 230 persons in attendance. A carry-in dinner was enjoyed during the noon hour with a short program following. * * * Mrs. Charles (Nancy) Seprfoss of Syracuse, one of our Girl Fridays at The M-J office, tells us she has been following the news events of the Dr. Everett Potter family (pictured last week) as she wrote the old news for the town of Milford.

Drug Abuse Up 400% In State Os Indiana: White

By FRANK WHITE and DONALD WHITE DRUG ABUSE has gone up 400 per cent in Indiana, according to State Police Superintendent Robert K. Konkle. In an interview, Konkle said: “The drug users continue to create crime, for. addicts that have the drug habit, have to have money. They steal or get it anyway they can to buy drugs.” Drug addiction is related directly to the increase crime rate and has a pyramiding effect. A SSO a day expenditure is not unusual for drugs, according to Konkle. Addicts not only have SSO to feed their habit, but more to live on. They are able to sell what they steal for only one-fifth of its value. “Each, because of his own personal drug habit, causes five times the crime we would have had, were he not an addict,” the Superintendent said. His figures are emphasized by recent statistics released by the FBI. “Crime continues to outstrip population growth 11 to one,” FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover said. He added: “From 1960 to 1968, the volume of crime has risen 122 per cent and our United States population 11 per cent. According to, the FBI annual Uniforni Crime report, crimes of all kinds in Indiana rose to 91,438 last year. This was in increase from 77,877 in 1967 according to the FBI figures. Indiana fell in the national 17.5 per cent crime increase. The report showed 9,849 vioJent crimes in Indiana, up about 25 per cent from the 7,835 recorded in 1967. There were 81,589 property crimes, up about 15 per cent from 70,042 recorded in 1967. In the nation, crimes in the suburbs went up about 12 per cent compared to 11 per cent in the rural areas and 18 per cent in large cities. Ability of police to cope with the increase is shown by the report, with police solutions down seven-per cent in 1968 and down 32 per cent from 1960. Use of firearms in crimes soared from 1964 to 1968, increasing 71 per cent in murders, 117 per cent in aggravated assault and 113 per cent in armed robbery. A comparison of crimes in the state shows: Crime 1967 1968 Murder 186 240 Rape 571 660 Assaults 3,244 3,950 Burglary 32,580 35,012 Robbery 3,824 4,490 Larceny 21,326 26,699 Auto Thefts 16,136 19,878 Police have a new weapon to fight Marijuana. Mere possession is illegal and the drug is taxable. Those arrested for possession can be fined SIOO a processed ounce by the Internal Revenue Department. State police strip the stalks and report weight to Revenue. It grows wild almost anyplace in Indiana and is hard to kill

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, the Town Board of Trustees of the Town of Milford has received complaints that the practice of children going from door to door in the Town of Milford immediately preceding Halloween each year for the purpose of “Trick or Treat” calls, has become a nuisance and WHEREAS, the Town Board of Trustees is of the unanimous opinion that the practice of “Trick or Treat” is a worthwhile and proper one and activity for children but is of the opinion that the activity is commenced too far in advance of Halloween night and continued for too long a period. THEY THEREFORE designate October 30 and 31, 1969, as “Trick or Treat” days for the Town of Milford and respectfully request the cooperation of both parents and children herein. AND WHEREAS, the curfew law will be strictly enforced, all children should be home by 10 p.m. CARL DUNCAN GERALD MARTIN THOMAS A. MILLER Attest: Edith Baumgartner,* clerk-treasurer

with spray. It was once cultivated for manufacture of hemp rope. The wild supply in Newton - Lake county areas has attracted “pot smokers,” seeking to harvest the weed, State Police Sergeant Kenneth Richcreek has said. Ten were arrested in one week in Newton county trying to harvest Marijuana. A total of 500 pounds were seized that would have had a retail value of $50,000 to $250,000 on the market. The Revenue fine could be $500,000. And in a lighter vein this doggeral about the oyster. There once was an oyster, whose story I tell, Who found the sand had got under his shell; Just one little grain, but it gave him pain, for oysters have feelings although they’re plain. Nor did he berate the workings df fate, which led to such a deplorable state. Did he curse the government, call for an election? Or cry that the sea should have given protection? No, as he lay on the shelf he said to himself, “If I cannot remove it, I’ll try to improve it.” The years rolled by as the years always do, and he came to his ultimate destiny .... a stew. And this small grain of sand which had bothered him so, was a beautiful pearl, all richly aglow. Now this tail has a moral ... for isn’t it grand what an oyster can do with a morsel of sand? Why couldn’t we do if we’d only begin with all of the things that get under our skin. (Anon.) Turning to the serious: Gen. William Westmoreland chief of Staff, U. S. A., reportedly believes President Nixon can withdraw American troops from Viet Nam rapidly as Communists cannot win. He bases this on the U. S. A. giving South Vietnamese essential weapons and logistical support. New Wildlife Regulations Set For 1970 With the new Fish and Wildlife Act becoming effective January 1, 1970, most present Indiana protective laws will be re pealed.

In non-flowing waters it will be lawful to spear during the night throughout the month of May. No longer will a person have to be in attendance of a hand line or fishing pole.
