I I :£ facts about WR TOWN* Milford, Ind.
By JERI SEELY The bossman and his Mrs. received an interesting letter this week from Nansen and Mary A Kline of Fort Wayne. They are former residents of Our Town. Mr. Kline has not been able to get out at all this winter. He broke his hip in June but does get around in the couple's home. Mrs. Kline states her husband's most fun is his "talking books” furnished, by the library. She too has been enjoying them. Mrs. Kline belongs to the Writer’s club and one of the club’s members Cameron Parks had a book published lately. It is entitled “The Girl Scout Man.” It is about him and his wife's experiences at Girl Scout camp on Dewart lake. The Klines have their upstairs rented to two students from Bombay, India. They both attend Sam’s Institute evenings and hold full time jobs in the daytime. Mr. Sata and Mr. Pandya are cousins. Mr. Sata's sister visited over night. Her company sent her for 11 months or more to Sweden to learn more about her job. She is a graduate of Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne. Mrs Kline’s letter continues, "they (the two men> do not eat meat and do their own cooking. They are good cooks we think! Sometimes we exchange food. They seem to like my cookies best," she conducted. Mrs. Robert (Marilyn! Brown stopped in the other day to say the Lilly Day collections for Easter Seals has been changed from the date previously announced to Saturday, March 27. The drive is for money for the Kosciusko County Society for Crippled Children and Adults. It’s a good cause,.. give if you can! Former Milford Mail editor Hattie Becker receives the credit for spotting the first robin of the year. Mrs. Becker saw her robin at 4 p.m. on Thursday. March 11. and reports he was "a nice fat one.” Today is the day for the "wearing of the green ... it’s the day when everyone in America suddenly turns Irish for 24 hours .. .it’s the day when you’re likely

to get pinched if you are caught without some green in your day’s attire. As our little Irish friend says, "The luck of the Irish” is with us today! Saturday is popcqqu day! That’s what I said, day.” It’s sponsored by the 4-H clubs of Kosciusko county with proceeds going toward the construction of a 4-H building at the fair grounds in Warsaw. In our community we have a total of five 4-H clubs — The Senior Homemakers, Junior Merry Maidens, Senior Happy Bachelors, Junior Happy Bachelors and the Successful 4Hers. The 4-H leaders who serve these five clubs are proud of Our Town’s 4-H boys and girls and are hoping the community will give its support to this project. The M-J received a letter this week from a concerned resident of the Lakeland community who had read a news article in the South Bend paper on the federal government’s plea to save trees and then had read this reporter’s article stating the Lakeland school board is considering removal of trees from the woods at Wawasee high school. The letter’s author need not worry, the Lakeland school board is not out to destroy the woods on the school’s property, it is on the other hand out to conserve the trees that are growing there. The reason the board is considering the removal of any of the trees is because some have reached maturity and are preventing the saplings from growing. No decision has been made thus far as to which trees, if any. will actually be cut down and a state forrester has been contacted to check on which trees should be cut down for conservation purposes. ' Ask Joe O. Estep about his trip home from Plymouth last night if you want to hear an interesting story. . Joe, his wife Anna, Mrs. Ted Brooks, Mrs. Doral McFarren and yours truly attended an Eastern Star meeting in Plymouth and came homfe through Bremen and Nappanee. When asked if he was lost, our friend Mr. Estep stated he knew where he was all the time! Dog Club Meets Monday Hie second Elkhart county 4-H dog club was called to order by president Doretta Weigand on Monday, March 8. Roll call was taken and the minutes were read and approved with new members added. A money making project was brought up but it was decided to wait until next meeting to further discuss it. Dog books and dog records were handed outand explained and corrections were made on the by-laws. Unemployment Is Continuing Down i Continuing the downtrend begun early last month, Indiana’s unemployment insurance claims total decreased to 65,792 last week from 68,977 the week before. John F. Coppes. director of the Indiana Employment Security Division, said that while the almost 3,200 decrease included 1.400 dropouts of people who had received all unemployment insurance for which they were eligible, nearly 1,800 apparently were back on the job. He explained that there were recalls in various industries and that outdoor activities, particularly in construction and quarries, were being resumed as the weather improved. Mr. Coppes said that there were fewer new layoffs last week and that all reported were relatively small.

Heine Presents Views On Current Legislation INDIANAPOLIS — In an interview today, state representative Ralph R. Heine of Columbia City presented his views on the current state of house legislation in the general assembly. “Last week was a very busy one and a controversial one” said Heine. “We had a couple of night sessions that ran until 11:30 or 12 at night. We are approaching the end of the session and all house bills that were not passed as of last Saturday are completely dead because that was the 48th and last day to pass house bills out to go to the senate for action. “We are starting to work on senate bills that have passed that body and of course the senate is now working on house bills which we have passed and sent to them for consideration. “One bill that passed the senate last week and has great interest on the state and local level was an environmental bill that would create a small, powerful board to supposedly control the envionment. This bill was defeated in house committee and a different bill substituted which did not get through the house in the time alloted. So our committee on health and environmental affairs will again take up The Senate bill but I personally don’t think it will have any more support from the committee this time than it did before. My objection to the bill is that it may not accomplish the purpose if it is too large at the administrative level and doesn’t spell out any real goals. “I plan to propose a compromise environmental , bill which would set up a commission to work in an advisory capacity; it would have some executive powers over and above the health department, stream pollution board, etc., on the state level. I think this would be much more effective than setting up a huge board that is only an administrative group. We have also appropriated money in the new budget for eleven new positions to

effect the control and education of people with regard to pollution. I think this is a more reasonable k and effective approach in initiating control-development of new and different ecological measures in the State of Indiana. “We also passed a bill last week that would increase property tax exemptions of persons over 65. Instead of the present $5,000 assessed valuation, we voted to increase it to $6,500. This would mean that many people in this age category who were reassessed and were put into a higher tax bracket would have the same exemptions that they had previously. We also expect to amend a bill coming from the Senate to raise the maximum allowable income from $5,000 to $6,000.” Lay Speakers School To Come To An End Sunday The district lay speaker’s school which is being held at the Milford United Methodist church will hold its concluding session this Sunday, March 21. The school has been meeting each Sunday afternoon since January 24. Classes in theology and public speaking have been taught by Rev. Riley Case .of Elkhart and Rev. Lowell Townsen of Nappanee respectively. Among the 16 persons who have participated in the lay speaker’s school, four are from this immediate area. They are Kendall Biller, Island Chapel; Vernon Stutzman, Milford; and Dean Hartle and Janets Coy, both of North Webster. Graduation ceremonies for the group will be held at the Trinity United Methodist church of Elkhart at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 28. LAKELAND LOCAL Dr. and Mrs. M. E.
