Good things and bad things, pleasure and pain. We can't have all sunshine but it’s certainly true There is never a cloud the sun doesn't shine through. . . So always remember that whatever betide you The power of God is always beside you. And if friends disappoint you and plans go astray .And nothing works out in just the right way, .And you feel you have failed m achieving your goal. And that life wrongly placed you in an unfitting role. Take heart and "stand tall" and think who you are. For God is your Father and no one can bar Or keep you from reaching your desired success, Or withhold the joy that is yours to possess . . For with God on your side it matters not who Is working to keep life's good things for you. For you need nothing more than God s guidance and love To insure you the things that you're most worthy of . . . So trust in His wisdom and follow His ways. And be not concerned with the world's empty praise. But seek first His kingdom and you will possess The world s greatest riches which is true happiness We invite you to the Milford Christian Church.

Augsburger appeared before the board and urged members to proceed with filing for state and federal grants to be used with the town's $1 cumulative sewage fund monies in constructing sewage treatment facilities. Senator Augsburger noted it usually takes from two to three years after an application is made to receive a grant. Towns are listed each year according to need. The grant in question would give 50 per cent of the cost of certain portions of the work from federal funds and 25 per cent from state funds with the town furnishing the remaining amount. In May members of the Milford Area Development council were on hand to discuss the sewage disposal project with board members. It was believed at that time an application had been forwarded to the state for approval. At the June meeting members continued their study of sewage treatment with members of the engineering firm on hand to discuss various types of treatments At the close of that meeting the firm agreed to send plans on an airation pond type system to the state for approval while the town board members tried for an option on land. Members gave consideration to the possible use of an aereating pond at the July meeting. They did, however, want to visit ponds already in operation prior to making a final decission. They had not received an option on land but has a promise that the land necessary would be available if they wanted to purchase same for a site in the future.

The proposal will, however. be turned over to Drake. In June of 1969 an ordinance was adopted to allow the town marshall to appoint his own deputies.
