I l :•: facts about ‘OUR TOWN* Milford, Ind. By JERI SEELY It is time to color those Easter eggs again. I’m thinking about adoring some for Della B. and Betty S. who keep telling me they are on diets . . . isn’t everyone? The new spring season will usher in Easter Sunday and once again Christians will commemorate the resurrection of Christ. In the muted festival atmosphere, Easter parades and Easter bonnets will lend their enchantment to the occasion. In all but the frigid regions, nature will also add her magic touch of springtime flowers and fair breezes ... at least we can hope for warm weather in the weeks to cone. The freshness and fragrance of the new season somehow symbolize the bright hope and faith that come into being with the birth of Christianity. Oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, the sounds of spring on Easter Sunday are accented. The birds sing a little more pleasantly — or so it seems. And in between those April showers, the sun should have a special warmth. What it all adds up to is that Easter is an exceptionally good

day which is meant to celebrate the coming of new hope and salvation to all mankind. Let it be so this year. Monday evening as the snow was falling Berniece H. Dwyer of Our Town remembered the following peom which was written some time ago by John Young. Spring Thaw Is winter over? No, not yet Bnt if you step outside, you can bet There’ll be sweetness in the air. Take your time, it’s around about noon And the earth s got a promising Os love’s early spring. Winter's not over, no, not quite; Snow’s got everything covered white. If you see a bit of earth, then breathe a spell For spring’s almost here, and everything’s well Scoot over a bit; there’s enough room. To sit and share spring’s early bloom. Bud and I were at district 25B’s sub-district convention Sunday as representatives of The Hoosier Lion and enjoved a short visit with Blake Baumgartner who is a resident at Fort Wayne. Bud also enjoyed a chat with former Milford basketball coach Jerry Van Meter. llie convention was held in the new West Noble high school with Frank Epple of the CromwellKimmel club as chairman. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life’s long warfare closed at least.

His soul is found in peace. — James Montgomery This is our memoriam to Earl Woiferman of near Our Town who died last Thursday morning after a long battle with cancer. Earl was a charter member of the Milford Lions club and a

member of the Waubee Grange. He is a former businessman and took an active part in community affairs ... he will be missed. Members of the Milford Boy Scout troop have extended their apology for not being on the street to sell first-aid — safety kits after advertising same. The fact is the kits did not arrive. When they arrive the boys will set another sale date. Needless to say many scouts were disappointed in the fact they could not hold the sale after they had planned it and have to wait even longer for their much needed camping equipment. Happy birthday wishes go to Edna Fuller of Our Town. Mrs. Fuller was 93 years young on Sunday. Mrs. Charles Kerlin received a telephone call from Mrs. Lewis L. Leedy of Ligonier in regards to the article in this column last week about the Immortal J. N. She said her parents had lived in Topeka when the eccentric character was making his rounds and that “the town threw out a welcome to him” whenever he came. Mrs. Leedy had heard the stories from her parents, but didn’t recall ever seeing him. She, in turn, told her children stories pertaining to the Immortal J.N. and was glad we published the article which she planned to send to her son in Fort Wayne. Unless a man has die talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Eric Hoffer
