The popular eating establishment is located on Main street in that neighboring town and « owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Gansert of near Milford. •• • ■ Speaking of Mrs. Krauter, she lias a hobby that keeps her busy in the winter and helps others at the same time. Last winter she made lap robes which she gave to the Soldiers Home in Lafayette in the name of the American Legion Auxiliary of Our Town. She plans to continue this project next winter and asks that persons who have scraps they would like to donate, give them to her. We would guess that persons not being able to find Mrs. Krauter could give them to an auxiliary member and be would see that Mrs. Krauter received them. ♦ • • •.

Many of Our Town’s residents spent the week end visiting with their mothers—both near and far away. Others took advantage of the warm weather and set out on camping trips. That’s one bug that seems to be biting more and more people each year. They use anything from a pup tent to an all-modern trailer complete with television and air conditioning.

even though it is understood that the board did meet last Thursdayevening for the purpose of discussing the annexation issue. We can only construe this as a continuing indication of the Board's unwillingness to respond.

We feel that you are placing the interests of a few over those of the majority. Certainly, a compromise on this controversial issue could be reached which could better serve the area citizens.
