facts about >• ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Our old photo of the week is another of Elmeline street. This one was taken on May 19, 1908. « * * Our pictures last week of the tannery jogged a memory or two as we had many calls from people who knew those who were in the pictures. The two girls in the back are Eloise Pinkerton and Hazel Stout. The ladies in the middle are Belle Pinkerton. Hattie Gibson, and Mrs. Scott Schaffer. The men are Joe Griffith, Fred Beck, and Scott Schaffer. The Schaffers owned the tannery and lived in the house nowowned by Mr. and Mrs. William Burgett. Eloise Pinkerton was the daughter of Belle Pinkerton and was well known in the community until her death a few years back. She resided in the house now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Dippon. Hattie Gibson was the sister-in-law of Belle Pinkerton and is recalled to have been very well known in Our Town in her day. Many remember her as aunt Hat. Hazel Stout was raised by the Schaffers. Jim Griffith was a brother to Grace McDonald. * « * Ted and Ellen Brooks (Mr. and Mrs.) had so much fun in Florida this past January that they have convinced friend husband it's the - place to go in the wintertime to •get away from all our C-O-L-D weather. Maybe next winter I can curl up in someone’s suitcase and go south, too! It was the Brookses’ first trip to the Sunshine state and they had a lot of fun just doing what most people do on vacation—a little bit of everything and not much of nothing. Sounds good to me! Spring has sprung! At least it has at Augsburger's IGA. If you read their ad this week you'll see' they are featuring fresh strawberries and watermelon. Now if that's not a sign of warm weather will you please tell me what is!

Milford's physical education instructor has a way'of keeping his classes in uniform. If anyone forgets his regulation white shirt and blue shorts he must wear a blue bloomer-type outfit to class for the day. One can almost bet that once a boy has worn the coach’s special outfit he will never again forget to take his gym suit to class! Early Compliance Will Speed Farm Payments Farmers participating in the feed grain or wheat programs can help assure themselves of program payments, in July or August by complying with the program provisions just as soon as time, weather, and crop growth allow. So reported Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee. He pointed out that the U.S. Department of Agriculture this year has set mid-August as the target date for completion of 1970 farm program payments to participating producers in the feed grain and wheat programs. In previous years final payments in our country are usually completed in October. Sign-up for the farm programs is now under way at the Kosciusko ASCS Office and will continue through March 20. The ASC committee chairman urged eligible producers to sign up early for the programs and also to request measurement service when they sign up if they have not already done so. Measurement service is offered at cost by the county ASCS office and provides assurance to producers that they are in compliance with the programs if they go exactly by the measurements. Before the county ASCS office can begin processing a payment to a producer, he must certify that he has complied with all the program provisions. This includes a report of acreages devoted to the crops and land uses involved. "We are urging producers to certify compliance as soon as they can." said Mr. Horn, "but under no circumstances should they do so until they know they have met the program provisions. Once a farmer has certified he is in compliance with farm program — feed grain dr wheat — his farm may be checked at any time. If he is not in compliance, he may lose some or all of his farm payments.” Mr Horn reminded farmers that earning farm program payments is a three-step process: (1) Signing up to participate and agreeing to comply with program provisions. Farmers may sign up at their county ASCS office Monday through Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. through March 20. (2) Complying with the

program provisions. In general, this means seeing that the crop and land use acreage requirements have been met. The crop must be planted and cared for in a workmanlike manner. Complete details on program compliance are available at the county ASCS office. (3) Certifying compliance with program provisions. Producers who have complied with the program provisions may come in to the county ASCS office at any time to certify. Once they have certified, processing of their farm payment will begin. Final date for certification of feed grain in our county is July 15. 1970. SENIOR CITIZENS IN FEBRUARY MEETING The Charlotte Blue Chapter.
