:£ facts about »•< ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY 1 Friend husband and I gambled on the weather last Friday night and lost ... we took the Indiana Lions newspaper. The Hoosier Lion, to Indianapolis for addressing and mailing and found the main highways between here and the capitol city nearly impassably. A light snow storm hit the Lakeland area on Friday but neither of us would have guessed upon leaving Milford things would be worse the’farther south we went and road crews seemed to be a thing of the past, as the only place we found highways to be salted were those running through the city of Peru. For a while I was wishing for an old fashioned sleigh. I think we could have traveled a little faster. On second thought, it might have been a cold trip in a sleigh*

We debated several times about turning around and returning home . . . but then the roads ahead had to be better/. . they certainly couldn't be any worse ... at least that's what the two of us kept thinking. We left Milford about 4 p.m. and arrived in Indianapolis at 8, feeling certain the city’s street crews would have salted the pavements and everything would be fine. Would you believe we could find no salt in Indianapolis . . . there must be a shortage or something! It was 10 p.m. before we were on our way back home. It had taken two hours to do what should have been accomplished jn less than one. ' Food! At a little, past 11 we stopped at long last for supper. It’s a little hard to find a restaurant open at such a late hour. News at the restaurant (or should I say truck stop) was discouraging. They were closing the east-west highways because of the heavy, blowing snow . . . still no sight of any snow plows .. . Maybe they all went south for the winter! While we did not* see any wrecks abandoned cars were all along the highway. Drivers of these abandoned cars had apparently sought shelter at nearby farm houses A coating of ice under the snow made traffic all but crawl and for some reason or another even at this late hour traffic was heavy. r

By 1 am. both friend husband and his passenger were exhausted and we were still south of Kokomo. Like so many others we stopped at a motel for the night. At the rate we were going it would have been daylight when we reached Milford. Looking back KokomO seemed the hardest hit by this «torm as drifts at the motel were three to four feet high in some areas. Back on the highway the next morning we fould little change in road conditions. At 10 a.m. the salt trucks were still in hiding. Actually, they were probably about two or three miles behind us and we were clearing the way for them ... or, so it seemed! Honestly, traveling 20-30 mph from Indianapolis to Milford didn’t do a thing for my disposition . . . especially when friend husband had given the maid the week end off and yours truly had to clean house and do the washing and ironing after arriving home! Before some of you get the wrong idea, we really don’t have a maid but 1 was sure wishing for one as we traveled home ... 20-30 miles per hour leaves much time for thinking and my thoughts were on all that work that wasn't doing itself even in this age of automatic washers, dryers, permanent press, dishwashers and the like. Someone has to be there to push the buttons. Home at last... 1 p.m..;. time for a bite to eat, a prayer of thanks for our safe journey and a nap .. . after all the house work and the washing had been waiting all day a few more hours wouldn't hurt and it had been a long, hard trip. ’ P. S. — The same trip last month put AEB and friend husband back in Milford at 11 p.m. They made the trip in seven hours! On Dean's List At Indiana U. Among v those students on the dean's list at Indiana university's South Bend campus is John Bushong, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bushong of Waubee Lake. Bushong is a 1967 graduate of Milford high school and is a junior at the university.

LIGONIER NEWS By Rose Cunningham Theives Enter Stone's Trace Tavern, Museum Stone’s Trace Historical Tavern and Museum, located on Rd. 5. between Ligonier and Cromwell, evidently was the victim of robbers sometime dunng’the time members were not meeting there because of cold weather. The theft was not discovered until recently but it could have occurred even in December.
