facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ | Milford, Ind. By JERI SFFLY It’s a little late to be talking about Christmas decorations but do you remember the unusual one we commented on recently — The beautiful lobster tail? One morning the latter part oflast week we found same beautiful lobster tail mi our desk with a note from it's owner, “Now you’ve seen my one of a kind decoration." J It’s complete with gold Christmas balls, red ribbon and holly. Surely someone’s Christmas tree will be beautiful next year. Seems like Our Town is about to have a reunion in Florida from all the folks who have already left for the Sunshine state or are going to go to Florida in the near future. > One of our little reporting birds has told us that the Florida bound people are the John Fishers.

little bird says the Marsh Esteps too enjoy the warmer climate as they planned to visit Chandler, Ariz. Know of anyone else? We ventured out to the Milford town board meeting last week in one of the all popular pant §uits and were glad of our choice after arriving. The furnace decided not to work and no heat in the middle of January is a little to cool for y>is reporter. At first we were brave and took off our heavy winter coat but soon our hands started to turn blue (not quite but they felt like it) so we rescued our coat for the duration of the meeting. Our best wishes go with Chris Caywood who is now representing Kosciusko county in the Junior Miss. Chris, a WHS senior and homecoming queen, was chosen Miss Congeniality and first runner-up at the county contest last fall. When the county Junior Miss Ginny Eschbach of Warsaw became ill and was forced to resign Chris was named to take her place. Chris is the second girl in the past few years from the Lakeland area to represent the county in the state contest. Michelle Conn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Conn of Lake Tippecanoe. a c . graduate of Milford high school is a former county Junior Miss. Michelle is now married to Richard Searles and is a student at Indiana university. Good Luck. Chris! Chance never helps those who do not help themselves.
