facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. x ‘\<S5S!-S>!-SS>SSSSS>S>!-S>:<<<'>X<-:-:-J<-By JERI SEELY What would you do if you found a SSOO bond carrying a 1906 date among your possessions'* It could be worth a large stun of money and then again, it could be worth little more than the paper it s printed on. You would of course have to play detective to see if it was of any value or not! And. that's just what a South Bend woman did recently after finding a five per cent first mortgage gold bond among some old family possessions. The bond was from the Winona Interurban Railway Company and was drawn on the Union Trust Company of Indianapolis It was one of 4.6 M bonds issued. How disappointed she must have been when she learned that not only is the Winona Interurban Railway Company out of business but the Union Trust Company is no longer operating in Indianapolis. The older residents of Our Town will remember the interurban when it made its trips through the Main street. Many of us remember when the streets marked main street long after the interurban had stopped making its run The bond is now the property of Dave Overton who works with the radio station in Goshen and who is shown above with this historical item. —o— - ® Shhhhhhhhhh . . . Listen closely! Can’t you hear the hammers Can’t you hear the saws You could if you were near the Milford scout cabin on Waubee lake on a Saturday afternoon The boys of Our Town under the very capable direction of leader Bob Vanlaningham are really making improvements in the cabin. The old building was in a stare of shambles from neglect when the scout troop was re-formed Bob and his boys undertook a gigantic task when they decided to repair the building A lot has been accomplished thus far. however, much work

and help is needed to prepare it for use. The scouts work every Saturday under the direction of Vanlaningham and other adults who volunteer their time to help the boys with their project. A ceiling is needed, the original flooring has to be recovered, wiring has to be completed, appliances are needed and outside work is yet to be finished. Until the furnace which has been donated can be installed the boys will continue to meet at 1 p m. on Saturday afternoon. When the building is heated they will meet evenings to complete their work. Soon the scout cabin will once again be a building to be proud of, a building the community will be glad to have at its park. It will no longer be the cabin that's falling down, long forgotten except by those who labored so hard in the first place to build it when they were scouts long ago Your help is needed! If you have a few spare minutes (you can create them if you really want to) on Saturday afternoon to help we know it would be appreciated.

Plan A Throw-Away Party For The Holidays w■ 1 I Ti, 11 ■ Deck the halls with boughs of holly-and throw away every single glass the moment the last guest leaves. This new way to entertain is catching on like wildfire across the nation, from the smallest informal party to the huge "state"

reception. And it is made pos- r sible by an ingenious completeline of clear plastic glasses called Crvstal Pack which enables the hostess to set the prettiest of tables - and then toss out the glasses.

ACCIDENTS MULTIPLE IN DECEMBER LAFAYETTE - Last year deaths by accidents in the United States during December totaled 10,100. Although this was slightly less than Decmeber 1968, it was still 700 more than the monthly average. Everyone needs to be conscious of the fact that more accidents occur during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays than at any other time of the year, says F. R. Willsey, Purdue university extension safety specialist. Efforts to reduce the number of accidents must be a continuous one, points out Willsey, but special care is required during December and over the New Year’s holiday. Top killer, of course, is motor vehicle accidents. During December,. 1969. automobile accidents took 4,700 lives. Fire claimed another 800, and falls accounted for 1,800. Studies by the National Safety Council, relates Willsey, show:

Seventy-five per cent of all fatal Christmas accidents involve driving too fast for conditions or in excess of a stated speed limit. Normal average is about 32 per cent. Drinking drivers are involved in more than half the fatal Christmastime accidents. Winter walking brings special hazards. Some of these are hazardous street conditions, poor visibility for both drivers and pedestrians, and obscured vision brought on by heavy bundling against the cold or use of umbrellas. Lastly more people are afoot in heavily congested areas during the shopping season. Often their attention is diverted from traffic or obstacles by their concentration on their main con-cern-shopping. Don’t let an accident mar your Christmas season, warns Willsey. Re-double your efforts toward safe driving, sane drinking, and sensible doing during December. What’s more, encourage every member of your family and all of your friends to do likewise. And have a Merry Christmas! Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scott of North Webster called at the Gerald Grove home in Milford Sunday afternoon.
