:*: facts about ‘OUR TOWN’ Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY Here’s another old photo of Milford Day. This one, like many, has no date but shows the large number of people who came to town for the special events of the day. Remember the photo we ran a few weeks back of all the people standing in front of the India napolis. Crawfordsville and Western car. In a conversation with a WKAM radio station announcer we learned the company came into being in June of 190' and said picture was probably a publicity shot taken during the early days of the line. The company went bankrupt. It was taken over by the Indianapolis, Crawfordsville and Danville Electric Railway company at that time and later became the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Company In 1930 the company was scrapped and another chapter in Indiana’s history books was closed. Representatives of Little and Clark, Inc., attended a regional sales meeting at Warsaw last Thursday. The all-day session included the introduction of new property and casualty and life insurance policies, a sales incentative travel program, underwriting information and a new advertising program. When the bossman was unable to make it to the Halloween contest Saturday night we took his place as judge and had the pleasure of working with Don Arnold and Mrs. Joe (Margaret) Ostendorf in judging the various spooks and gobbling that were on hand for the evening's event. Grand prise was awarded to a bride and bridegroom being pulled in a rickshaw. The newly weds were Don Kreider, ‘son of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Kreider and Terri Rink, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rink. Their coolies were Angela Augsburger. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John B. Augsburger and Carla Curtis, daughter of Mrs. Carolyn Curtis and Bryant Curtis. Asked how long they had been married young Kreider proclaimed "one day."

The moat original prise went to Melinda Stumbo, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Teddy Stumbo. She was The Thing and was a real far-out character. Speaking of Halloween, had we been judging trick or treaters this year we would have to give first prize to Tammy and Robbie Hare, children of Mr. and Mrs. John Hare, who knocked on our door Friday night dressed as the statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam. Not being able to attend SWAP day at Wawasee high school ourselves last Thursday we talked with several who did to see how the day worked out and think you might enjoy hearing some of the feelings voiced over the past week end. All enjoyed the day with the only complaint we heard being the lack of time to eat one’s lunch. Many admitted taking part of their lunch with them when they left the commons even though it's a no. .no. . Mrs. Frank (Jerri) Rink commented on marching in the band (it’s been a while since most of these people were in high school). She also stated she could now see why it was necessary to build on to the high school as one does not walk up the steps between classes but sort of moves along with one or two others in a line of five up or down with a stream of people in back and in front of you. Mrs. Lloyd (Marge) Coy simply stated she had had a ball, enjoying every minute of it. We would like to have seen Mrs Evar (Mary Ellen) Troup and the other ladies in ag and shop classes during the day. And. how about Dr. Floyd Rheinheimer learning how to cure the common cold in health class! , Senator and Mrs. John F. Augsburger were on hand at the school for the day’s activities. They’ll be off for Indianapolis and another session of the legislature in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Beer attended classes with Mrs. Beer commenting on the fact she appreciated seeing the building and how it was operated. Mrs. Richard (Karlene) Felkner thought her day at WHS was wonderful She would gladly go again and thinks it should be done every year instead of the annual open house Did you vote Tuesday? If not.. shame on you! Pretty faces and figures activate a lot of dormant foolishness

The clerk-treasurer, Mrs. Doris Wolferman, asked why the town's rest rooms had been locked recently. She stated she had been asked and did not have 'the answer. Board members Gerald Martin and Miller stated they thought the rest rooms were open and would check with town street and water commissioner John Martin as to why they had been closed. Mrs. Wolferman was also instructed to write to the Alcoholic Beverage Commission to find out why the town of Milford only received some S4OO from the commission while the town of Winona Lake, with no taverns at all, received almost $3,000. Drake also stated he had had several complaints on the railroad crossings and had contacted the company. He had also received complaints on the markings at the crossings in town. While the railroad had repaired the crossings nothing has been done about the markings i 4-H Members Honored By Form Bureau The Van Buren-Jefferson Township Farm Bureau held its annual Achievement Night to honor 4-H club members at the Milford elementary building last month. Devotions for the evening were given by Rev. Ralph Karstedt of the United Methodist church. The pledge to the flag was led by Tim Sands of the Happy Bachelors 4-H club and the 4-H pledge was led by Brenda Davis of the Junior Merry Maidens. Max Given, cartoonist, presented the program. He is the writer of the "Slim and Speed" comic strip. Assistant Youth agent from the County extension office, Mrs. Don Davidsen, introduced the 4-H leaders — Mrs. Robert Burht, Mrs Fred Weisser, Lester Krull, Ted Davis and Dan Beer — who in turn presented the pins to those members who had completed projects. Each leader was given a gift certificate by the Farm Bureau. It was announced the annual county meeting would be held November 1 at the fairgrounds. A bus will leave Warsaw for the state convention in Indianapolis on November 22. Interested members should contact Harold Wilson, chairman.

to THE EDITOR

Would You Help My Children?

To Whom It May Concern: I wish to take this opportunity* to express my feelings to all those who called and wrote during the recent drive for UNICEF. First, as a mother I wonder if my child was sick or injured and needing your assistance would you deny them because of difference in our political alliance? I hope and pray our children are growing up with more awareness of compassion for another being in God's world.

1972 Feed Grain Program

The 1972 Feed Grain program opens many choices to producers between now and the signup period for the 1972 farm set-aside programs, January 17 - February 25, local producers will be carefully studying all their farm management options, according to Scott Horn, Kosciusko county ASC chairman. Details of the feed grain program for 1972 were announced in mid-October by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The 1972 Wheat program had been announced by USDA in mid-July. Essentially the 1972 set-aside programs expand on the policy of leaving to farmers the determination of what "mix" of crops to plant on their farms. At the same time the programs are designed to increase farm income, help farmers get maximum return on investment, and reduce excess carryover supplies, Mr. Horn said. For feed grains, the 1972 program raises the qualifying set-aside to 25 per cent of the base acreage and offers farmers two new options for additional voluntary set-aside. It also raises the feed grain set-aside payment. Included in the 1972 Feed Grain program are corn, grain sorghum, and barley. A wider choice in making their 1972 plans is offered to farmers with feed grain bases or wheat allotments since they may sign up for program participation and plant soybeans, corn, grain sorghum, barley or wheat, —• singly or in any combination — to protect their farm base or allotment history. As in 1971, set-aside programs put on crop acreages. On feed grain grown on participating farms, loans will be available on all production, with national average loan levels of SI.OB per bushel for No. 2 corn, $1.79 per hundredweight for grain sorghum, and 86 cents per bushel for barley. ’ The loan level for soybeans will continue at $2.25 per bushel, for oats at 54 cents per bushel, and for rye at 89 cents per bushel. All soybean, oats and rye production is eligible for loan without being tied to farm program participation.

Detailing the feed grain setaside program for 1972, Mr. Horn cited provisions as follows: For corn — farmers who sign ig> will set aside a qualifying acreage equal to 25 per cent of their farm's corn base, for which they will earn payments of 80 cents a bushel on the established farm yield times the acreage setaside.

At signup, a farmer may also.

Also, if we are to show these other nations we are a God loving and fearing nation what better way to do it than to help their children. This letter will be signed in the same manner as yours were as my question was (who is calling please?) answered. Thank you, but if it is all the same to you please don’t write or call me next year as I am well aware of your feelings on this subject. Anonymous

if he chooses, agree to set aside up to 10 per cent more of his corn base, for which he will receive payment of 52 cents a bushel times the established farm yield on this additional acreage. To assure that sufficient land is taken .out of production. Secretary Clifford M Hardin is asking farmers, also at signup, to offer to set aside an additional 5 or 10 per cent, at the 52 cents a bushel rate. If the regular setaside is less than 38 million acres, the Secretary of Agriculture will announce by mid-March whether one or both of these offers will be accepted. For grain sorghum — the details are the same as for corn, except that the payment rate for the qualifying 25 per cent setaside of the grain sorghum base will be 76 cents a bushel, and the payment rate will be 49 cents a bushel for the 10 per cent additional voluntary diversion and for the 5 or 10 per cent offer, if accepted.

For barley — farmers who sign up will set aside a qualifying acreage equal to 25 per cent of their farm barley base, for which they will earn payments of 64 cents a bushel on the established farm yield times acreage setaside. At signup, a farmer may agree, if he chooses,4o set aside to 20 per cent more of his barley base, for which he will receive payment of 42 cents a bushel times the established

farm yield on this additional acreage. Farmers have many choices to make in the 1972 set-aside programs, emphasized Mr. Horn. First of all, he said, is the choice by farmers who have feed grain bases or wheat allotments on whether to participate in one or more of these voluntary programs. If a producer has a farm with feed grain bases and wheat allotments, he could participate in none, some or all of the programs as he chooses, without penalty for nonparticipation. For corn and grain sorghum, farmers who decide to participate, another choice will be whether to sign up for voluntary set-aside up to 10 per cent of their bases, and also whether to offer to set aside 5 or 10 per cent more at the option of the Secretary of Agriculture. Barley producers who decide to participate will be choosing whether to offer voluntary setaside up to 20 per cent of their farm base in addition to their qualifying 25 per cent set-aside for participation. Other choices to be made in relationship to program participation include decisions on: what crops to plant in view of potential farm yields and markets; what financing will be sought; whether to put in new farm storage facilities, buy new machinery, lease or buy more cropland; how to manage storage and marketing of previous-year crops; whether to plan for more intensive input per acre, in terms of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, land preparation, and crop cultivation. "The set-aside farm programs are designed to give farmers as much latitude as possible, consistent with the aim of improving farm income. It means producers make their own farm management decision. The government doesn’t decide for them," Mr. Horn said. Lions Sell Light Bulbs Members of the Milford Lions club canvassed the town and nearby area on Monday night selling light bulbs. Profits from the drive will go to the four state projects — Leader Dog, Cancer. Eye Bank and CARE. Following the canvassing the Lions enjoyed supper in their new meeting place at the 20th Century Restaurant and held their regular business meeting. Reports were given on the light bulb sale and on the Halloween e festival held at the junior high school on Saturday night.
