I can't ever remember seeing it snow and lightning and thunder all at the same time, but It sure did Wednesday night. You readers in the south don't know what you missed! • • • People who want to "talk” to computers can learn from a book by a Northern Illinois university accountancy professor. Dr. Edna H. Barbour, faculty member in Nil’s ~college of business, is the author of the book which is designed to instruct both those who will become professional computer programmers or those who wish only a background in programming or knowledge of data processing. Dr. Barbour was graduated from Milford high school and is the daughter of the late Mr. and ■Mrs. Amos R. Hollar. She is a sister to Mrs. Berniece Dwyer, who is a resident of Our Town.

She received her doctor of philosophy degree from Ohio State university and holds an Illinois CPA certificate. • • « Our publisher received a nice note from Miss Martha Groves, a resident of Greencroft Central Manor in Goshen, congratulating him on his article "California — Land of Many Faces." concerning his recent California vacation trip. Miss Groves said she was in California in 1927 after her father (the eminent former publisher of The Milford Mail. W. E. Groves) passed away. She is a well known former Milford fifth grade teacher. • • • Did you think someone goofed at the start of this column? If so. April Fool on you! Since today is April 1. ue couldn't resist putting our fingers on the wrong keys as we started this column. We looked the word April up in the dictionary only to learn it’s the fourth month of the year and containing 30 days. I could have looked at a calendar and found the same information. The Thorndike-Barnhart dictionary and Webster both inform the reader that an .April fool is a person who gets fooled on .April 1 while April Fools’ Day is the day that is observed by fooling people with tricks and jokes. Back to our picture of the week. It’s of a busy classroom in the Milford school. D was taken in 1917 and is another from the collection loaned to us by Mrs. John Craig of Indianapolis. Her father.
