MILFORD Library Notes By Mrs. Dorothea Kerlin We have received five beautiful new books for children, given by Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Levy of Warsaw, in memory of Mrs. Robert (Helen) Kaiser, sister of Mrs. Levy.

a Monday, April 12, 1915, date on the back. The wreck was at the Big Four station. The town’s elevator and the depot were destroyed. Persons in the photos seem to be posing for the photographer. Identified were Mildred Oppenheim, Marguerite Smith, Helene Lentz, Mrs. Albert Groves and Winnie Treesh Dygert. Do you recognize anyone? If you remember the wreck we would enjoy hearing about it. * * * Remember the girl scouts’ rummage sale on Friday and Saturday. It will be held in the fire station. The girls are still in need of leaders so why not stop by the station this week end and volunteer! It’s a worthwhile organiza-

“I Read About God’s Love” “I Read About God’s Gifts” “Bible Adventures” “Bible Heroes.” * * * The 50th anniversary of National Children’s Book Week will be observed in the public and. school libraries November 16 to 22 this year, using the theme, “Book Power.” We will have many new, colorful books on display during this special week, and will feature a story hour Saturday atfernoon at 2 o’clock. New displays in keeping with Thanksgiving have been arranged in the children’s room, with books of Thanksgiving stories, and poems. Children’s Book Week is as essential in 1969 as it was in 1919, when the need for good books for children inspired the creation of the special week. Some one has said that “a great nation is a reading nation.” It is surprising to most people that Indiana has many areas where children have no access to free reading material. Your public library is free ... if you don’t abuse its facilities . . . why not use it? Come in and get a book during the week of November 16-22. ♦ * ♦ Herbert Morehouse, treasurer of the library board, has been a patient in the Goshen hospital for the past ten days.

tion and needs the community’s support. It’s been a long time in these parts since anyone has seen a good, old-fashioned run-away. In case you’re under 40 and never saw or heard of a run-a-way, it’s when a horse, or team of horses become unmanageable, and decide to take off down the roact unattended. Well, Milford had a run-away last Wednesday morning. A Jefferson township Amishman had his horse and buggy at the Farm Bureau Co-Op Farm Center on north Main street in Milford, when a flapping piece of material frightened the animal. The bewildered steed swung around, broke loose from the buggy and headed west on the Syr-
