The Lovely Tree Is Gone!

Dear- Editor: - “I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree.” But the lovely tree is gone! It was an evergreen bearing long slender cones. It stood on the family lot of Mr. and Mrs. Chancy Cory at the cemetery. It was quite a shock to go to our parents’ grave and find it cut to the ground. It was planted probably 30 years ago by my father on the grave of my brother. It was cut without anyone discussing it with my sisters or myself. No permission was give’n. The tree was trimmed so it caused no difficulty in mowing. There was room between the tree and grave stone for mowing. One root might Have interferred. but nothing compared to some trees left standing. I called Charles Fisher and got no satisfaction, except to be told probably more trees would be cut.

He also told my sister, Mrs. C. H. Ott, the same thing. I called Mr. Reed who told me they would investigate and he would be calling us. He told me no orders had been given for cutting trees. That was a month ago. I understand the girl scouts and garden club have been planting trees at the cemetery. Save your» hard earned money gals for when they can go in and cut trees. Hiat is no good. Another has been cut just across the drive from our family lot: It was also a lovely evergreen. When you are at the cemetery, around Memorial Day, walk over to the lot of Chancy Cory and see 'the terrible stump of a tree which used to be a lovely evergreen. You will find it close to the second drive in the northwest corner. Ardeana Cory Golden

and this morning the telephone company told me they had about 100 cases of repair work to do as a result of what they called the storm. It was really only a heavyrain Our telephone has been out of order all forenoon. It is two o'clock now and it is still not repaired and they go on and on. time after time, being inefficient in their construction of telephone lines, etc arid the public is paying excessively for telephone service in the first place and secondly whose telephone is not out of order part of the. time every month’’ The telephone company seems to be very clever when it comes to manipulating our Legislators (through the lobby bonus system. 1 presume). Os course, the telephone company is well able to pay for these gratuities from the gentlemen we so liberally vote for to look after our public interests. More and more our system of governmental administration and big business pilfering is running the country into a state of catastrophe. It seems to me that if every state in the Union would only send one man to the Senate and one man to the Congress, we would get away from this political bickering and we would have a group of men in both the House and Senate <non-partisan) who would work in the interest of the public and not in the interest of politics, and as a result many of the things that are needed in the way of correction in this country could and would be promptly performed.

A Farm Owner Voices Objection

Dear Editor: I am Ralph Brubaker, farm owner in Plain township, Kosciusko county. I want to voice objections to the blanket 20 per cent increase in valuation of farm lands only as directed by the State Board of Tax Commissioners. First, it is my opinion, and the opinion of many other farmers in Plain township with whom I have talked, that this blanket 20 per cent increase in farm land valuation is inequitable. We elect local people ■ as township and county assessors, and we £ave confidence in these public servants that they will make equitable assessments of all property in our township. If there is a difference of opinion on values we appeal to the countyboard of review, and we resoect the combined judgments of the township assessor and the board of review and we abide with their decision. We feel that these local people know values better than values set by an office in Indianapolis. This 20 per cent increase puts a disproportionate share of the public service costs on the farm land owners. Second. I object to the fact that

Milford Cub Scout Pack In Last Meeting Os Year May 25

Cub scout pack 47 of Milford met Monday night, May 25, at the fire station for its last meeting of the year. The meeting opened by the raising of the flag by the Webelos and the pledge of allegiance The attendance award was presented to den I and special acknowledgment was given to den I for havmg the most attendance for the year. The new den mothers for next year were/introduced to the pack. They are Mrs. Donald Bice, Sr., and Mrs. Jim Hostetler, both of Milford, who are replacing Mrs. Keith Lindzy and Mrs. Jim Kellter. also of Milford. They were recognized as were Jack McCorMick, cubmaster, and his wife, who are moving to a new location. The awards were presented to the following boys: Den I: Jeff Hall, denner stripe; Brent Hostetler, assistant denner stripe; Andy Brown, wolf badge and gold arrow; and Edward Vanlaningham, one year service star and one year perfect attendance pin. Den II: Tom Campbell, bear badge, and Tim Jackson, silver arrow. Den III: Allen Ringler, wolf badge, gold arrow, assistant denner; Scott Arnold, gold arrow- and two silver arrows; and David Green, denner stripe. Webelos: Scott Hartter, craftsman, scholar, scientist, showman and traveler badges: Craig

submitting the bill will immediately play politics and as a result we are getting nowhere fast. Yours sincerely, Martin W. Levernier

adequate notice of this 20 per cent increase was not given to the individual farm land owner. Very few farmers have the time to hunt for notices of meetings and actions of the state tax board buried in the legal notice section of the news papers. Farm land owners were not given a fair opportunity to raise objections; nor were they given fair individual notice to the proceedings and hearings. Third, we farm land owners as individuals have no appeal to this 20 per cent blanket increase. We cannot, as individuals, appeal to our local board of review to reset the values. Farm land values must be made on an individual basis — not on a blanket basis set by remote, appointed administrative officials. Fourth, if there should happen to be inequalities in the assessed values, this 20 pier cent blanket increase will not equalize the error, but will magnify it. I respectfully submit these objections with the hope that the State Board of Tax Commissioners will rescind this unfair and inequitable 20 per cent blanket increase on farm land only, in Plain township.

A cake representing Memorial Day was given away as a door prize. 7 A movie on wildlife, filmed by the conservation departments, was shown to the pack and many things were learned about how wild animals survive and live. Announcements were given reminding the cub scouts about the Memorial Day parade and to meet at the junior high school at 9 30 to be ready to march and also the cub scout day at Pioneer Trails scout camp on June 25.

facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind.

By JERI SEELY How many of our readers remember this scene? It reminds us of the song with the line, “Just a little petunia in an onion patch!” These people are petunias in an onion patch. It seems that years ago onions were grown near Our Town on a big scale and whole families spent days in the fields harvesting the crop. It was a job that even the youngsters could handle. This photo is one of several loaned to us by Mrs. Gerald Martin. The marsh where the photo was taken is Ferverdas’ marsh and is located south and a little west of Milford according to information supplied to us. Anyone for identifying all the people in the photo? * * * This week our . congratulations go to all the Wawasee high school seniors who will be graduating on Sunday. < It's been 12 short years since you entered the portals of your

Anyone for a little rain! I haven’t beerttable to find anyone with a rain gauge yet but I’d guess three to four inches fell over the week end if not more. Fields and streets were flooded on Sunday after the heavy rains fell off and on during the entire day. Maybe, just maybe, it will all be over w-ith by the end of the week and we will have good weather for the holiday week end.
