Milford Student Council Presents Play

The student council of Milford junior high school presented a play called, "Young Hickory,” on Monday. April 6. The theme of the play concerned tiie housing of British soldiers in the Carolinas in the 1970‘5. The narrative concerned the search for a rebel American soldier and the loyal pioneers who protected him. The situation reverses itself as the British general finds himself trapped and his men converted to colonial ways. Since the play concerned this country's early independence, the

Hold Your Census 70 Questionnaire District manager Thomas B. Reed reports good progress in this area of the 1970 Census of Population and Housing. Census takers started the house-to-house canvas April 1 to pick up the filled-out questionnaires distributed earlier by the Post Office. The district manager pointed out that residents can speed up the big count by having their questionnaires filled out and ready for the census takers. This action will save time for both the householder and the census taker, the district manager said. Answers should be made in pencil so that if a mistake is made, it can be erased.' Most answers are to be made by blacking in a tiny circle beside the right answer. This makes a black dot which can be read by an electronic device at the Census Bureau, which will, in turn, speed up the processing of the information. At every’ fifth household, the census taker asks additional questions covering population and housing characteristics which are being asked of a 20 percent sample of the population. The district manager emphasized that all information about individuals and their homes furnished to the Census Bureau is held in absolute confidence under Federal law. It is used only to provide summary figures such as totals, averages, and percentages. The information about individuals cannot be examined by any one other than census employees who are sworn to secrecy, and thus cannot be used for investiagion, taxation, or regulation.

Milford Lions Hear Extension Agent Don Frantz The Milford Lions club Monday night heard an interesting talk by county extension agent Don Frantz cm the sociological trends involving rural community life. Frantz has made similar talks to service clubs in the area. He said the trend for a long time has been to train the young folks in a rural area then send them to the cities to work and live. By doing this, a rural community loses their skills. “In many cases the rural areas failed to educate their young folks, and they went to the cities anyway, and as a result we have years of accumulation which make up our city slums today," he said. He told his listeners “a community can grow, if organized. Instead of sending the ydung folks away, we must make a community where they will want to live.” He cited the national growth since our country was founded, stating the migration to the cities is being reversed. People are going into the suburbs and small towns again. He cited Kosciusko county as part of one of the world’s major industrial corridors, stating modern transportation is making rural areas accessible to the metropolitan areas. He cited the fact that famous ABC sportscaster Chris Shenkel is moving to Tippecanoe Lake to live, but that he will still commute to New

nouncer for the program. Her remarks were frequently interrupted by commercials provided by Jeff Hoerr and Cheryl Skelton. Two special local properties that helped to enhance the play were a sword that once belonged to grandfather Ebef Homan and an antique rifle now owned by Phil Plikerd. Two important future events for the student council are the supervision of the sale of candy which begins on April 13 and a final dinner at the Hobby House in Warsaw on May 8. York city and other cities of major sporting events. Not ‘Socialistic* Frantz said community planning was once called socialistic, but now it’s considered just good sense. He called our area a "prime location,” and stated to fight the trend to the rural areas is to fight a whirlwind. He praised Milford’s efforts through the Milford Area Development Council (MAD), and said it was a big step in the right direction. He was introduced by C. J. Myers, who, after Frantz’s talk, put in a plug for MAD’s efforts and urged his fellow Lions to join this community effort. Milford Lions voted SIOO per year for the next five years to the Lakeside Girl Scout Association \ for their new campsite near Middlebury.
