:•: facts about •:• ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Our picture of the week is of the Baltimore and Ohio and interurban crossing at Milford Junction. As we understand it this was a very busy place at one time. The postcard is not dated, but it was taken years ago . . . note the ladies* long dresses in the right of the photo. Many persons traveled to the Junction from Nappanee and Syracuse to catch the interurban into Warsaw and those from Indianapolis who came to Lake Wawasee each summer would travel to the Junction where they would catch another train to Syracuse and the lake area. How do you like the old news at the top of our colunm? We’ve heard pros and cons over the past week end. Craig Ruch, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Ruch of Our Town, wants to see more news about the people of Our Town. . . he’s not interested in the old news. On the other hand friend husband and I received a letter from Clarence and Juanita Miller of Mesa, Ariz., in which they state they have been following this column and it brings back memories. They also passed on a little tidbit that I wasn’t aware of . . . while the Methodists were without a building (we published picture of the old ME church which burned in the 1920’5) they worshipped with the Christian congregation. The Millers are former area residents. Craig is a freshman at Indiana Central college in Indianapolis and was in Milford for the Thanksgiving holiday. Also visiting in the Ruch home over the holiday week end was Nancy Ruch of Sweetser. Our congratulations go to Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence (“Bud”) Sawyer of Waubee lake on the occasion 'of their 25th wedding anniversary. They were married on December 6, 1944, in Nappanee. The Sawyers are neighbors of my parents and long-time family friends. They have three children —Mrs. Steven (Connie* Schermerhorn of Roann: Kent Jan, a student at Wawasee high school; and Roxann. a student in the Milford school.

LIGONIER NEWS By Rose Cunningham JUNIOR HIGH PRINCIPAL HONORED Roger G. Schermerhorn, principal of West Noble junior high school, was recently selected to appear in the 1969 edition of “Personalities of the West and Midwest.” The publication is published annually to recognize outstanding leaders in the west and mid-west. Mr. Schermerhorn was among 4,000 citizens selected from the midwestern states. Personalities are selected from nominations received from colleges and universities, businesses, civic clubs and individuals. Mr. Schermerhorn received his B. S. and M. S. degrees from Purdue University and is currently working toward an Ed. S. degree in education at Purdue. He is a member of the National Association of Secondary School Principals and the Indiana Association of Junior and Senior High School Principals. He has been very active in 4-H leadership and served on the Noble county 4-H exhibit corporation. He served seven years as leader for boy scouts, five years as FFA advisor, besides being active in various organizations as a student at Purdue. He is also a member of the Cromwell United Methodist church, serving as a substitute Sunday school teacher. Louis Levy Services were held Saturday in the Ligonier funeral home for Louis L. Levy, lifetime resident of the city. Mr. Levy owned and operated the Levy Furniture Store until about three years ago when he retired. He had been in ill health for several years. Surviving are his wife, the for-

mer Ruth Todd; two sons, Dr. V. L. Levy, Fort Wayne, and Jon R. Levy, New Albany, Oreg.; two daughter-, Mrs. Keith Hite, Ligonier, and Mrs. Claude Antonides. South Bend; and 14 grandchildren.

Shultz of r 1 Ligonier, recently received an award from Indiana Central college when she was selected to be admitted “with distinction” to the college for the 1970-71 term. These awards are being made to a limited number of students with selections made from all applicants. Margaret’s qualities as a student, leader and citizen in high school indicate to the college that she is worthy of this honor. She is presently a senior at West Noble high school, serving as president of the Future Teachers of America, is a member of the student council, National Honor Society, and is working on the yearbook staff. 4-H’ERS RECEIVE AWARD TRIP The following Noble county 4-H members have received an award trip on their achievement record books and 4-H points: Dennis Parker, Douglas Barhydt, Bill Hague, Delaine Barhydt, Christine Riecke, Susan Miller, Sandra Ebert, and Connie Stout.
