The August Lundquist family moved from the Saint Andrew’s parsonage over the week end to their new home at Auburn. Being a bicyclist family, seems they were extremely pleased with a gift of a tandem presented them at the farewell dinner at the church the last of May. Wales Macy, longtime marina owner and operator in the Lake Wawasee area, was pleasantly surprised last Thursday night at the end of a meeting of members of an amateur radio club to which be belongs, held at the REMC building in Warsaw. The group sang “Happy Birthday” to Wales, who was 73 that day. Then the hostess came out with refreshments, including cup cakes with W9UM on each one. These letters, incidentally. are Wales’ call letters. E. W. Frauhiger of Kale Island is building a large Pixxa Hut on West Pike street in Goshen. Look for two new businesses to open in Wawasee Village in the next week or 10 days. Sam Dungan has purchased the Paul Beam liquor store on North Detroit street in Warsaw, It was learned this week. Sam has been executive secretary for the Warsaw chamber of commerce. LaVada Dean was wearing an eye patch recently, but would not tell why. These patches must be the thing. The chopped-up Bowser road between Milford and Wawasee Bowl is to be plowed up and resurfaced sometime this summer. according to Bert Rets, county highway superintendent.

The road is certainly one of the worst in the county. There was a move afoot in the Whitko school corporation to name defeated school board candidate Maurice Scott business manager of that corporation. It would appear the effort never got off the ground. Ship 28 member and a boating and sailing enthusiast Paul Van Dyke said he thought a reminder should go out this week regarding the federal law requiring a coast guard approved life preserver being needed for sailing. Consider it done, Paul. Former Syracuseans. Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Pritchard, later of Howe, are now making their home at Seal Beach Leisure World. Calif. Nice to have a short chat with Mrs. John Adrian of Mexico Monday morning after arriving in Syracuse on Sunday for a brief visit enroute to visit son Boyd and family at Cleveland. She will be remembered as the former Helen Hoy. Dr. and Mrs. Adrian are planning on locating in the Anaheim, Calif., area near another son, Dr. John Hoy Adrian. Chief of police Orville Vanderßeyden this week had this to say of our community and children — "School is out for the summer and all drivers should be especially careful of the children and bicycle riders." With the numerous vehicles now appearing in the area in addition to residents, we wholeheartedly agree. Kingsley Pflngst, son of the Arnold Pfingsts, arrived Saturday from Kansas City. Mo., and will leave Thursday for his Sacramento. Calif., home. He said he tried to make it here in time for the high school alumni in hopes of visiting with classmates but missed it about a week. A new and delightful face joining forces in the Reed and Hearn office with Claudette is trim little Joyce Robertson. We couldn’t resist this little pun: Ask Dr. Arden Walgamuth, drea dentist, about his hole-in-ane! Matson’s Farm Market on r 1 Cromwell (Old State Road 8 and County Line) is announcing the route to good cheese is Matson’s

Cheese House. Sounds interesting. Plans were announced this week for the annual youth center auction on July 15. . This is always a goody. Did you know the Business and Professional Women’s club at Syracuse is celebrating it’s 35th anniversary? Mrs. Robert E. Houser said this week that all former members are welcome to attend the next meeting set for June 13 by contacting her no later than this Friday. June 9. Genealogy Session Set For July A session on genealogy has been planned for the July meeting of the Kosciusko County Historical Society. County residents interested in tracing their family trees are invited to attend. In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in family histories. For many retirees it is a time-consuming hobby which results in something to leave to their children. Some who research their family trees do it to establish membership eligibility in patriotic organizations. Members of certain church groups do it for religious reasons. Others who were bitten by the genealogy bug by happenstance have found it to be a fascinating hobby. A sense of history, an interest in people and time are the only prerequisites. Many genealogy societies have been, formed and many, many publications on the subject have come from the presses, still family researchers keep asking for more information and where to go to find it. Guidelines on how to do research, where to find records and what to do with them after they are found, will be the theme of the genealogy session. Space Technology Aids Tire Safety Inspections An ultrasonic fast-scanning infrared optical instrument developed by aerospace scientists is now being used for testing the safety of new automobile tires. The device allows microscopic scanning of the interior of the tires as they spin in the testing device, and is lightweight enough to be mounted on a test car and used on outside testing ranges.

Other Business Permission has been given for the Apostolic Christian church to book onto the sewer near the laundromat. Miller said the town engineers had not answered the letter written to them so he looked the situation over and gave the permission. No one contacted the county health department about the build up of garbage and rubbish at certain areas of town. The town attorney was instructed to contact Barbara Braun about the Traster property in the east end of town. The fire department will burn down old buildings and neighbors will clean up rubbish and keep the weeds down if permission can be obtained from Mrs. Braun. The board reported it had heard nothing more from NIPSCo on the new lights for the town. Board member Bessie Sunthimer asked if there was someway Penn Central could be contacted about the speed of trains which will soon be running thru Milford or about installing flashers at the crossings. Garrard said the town could petition the Interstate Commerce Commission about this or contact the Public Sen ice Commission St Indianapolis asking that they instruct Penn Central to establish crossing signals. Marshal Don Drake was given permission to take his vacation in two and three day stints until it is used up as he has business to take care of out of state and this will help both him and the town. He had talked this over earlier with board member Lovell. Lovell had also given Drake permission to purchase a new uniform and the claim was presented and approved at the Monday evening meeting. Because the need for a new police car came up between regular meetings and nothing was in the minutes about the purchase of another car the clerk was instructed to see that the purchase was entered in the books. The old car has still not been sold so Drake is to contact a used car dealer about selling the car. The fact of the renewal of the alcoholic beverage permit for the Hickory Lounge on Tuesday morning was discussed and Miller asked Drake if he planned to attend. Drake said no and recalled the fact he had never attended before. Claims were presented and signed by the board including work on the old police car a month before it was retired and much “tune-up” work and adjustments on the new car and the change over of the radio from one car to the other. The amount of these claims and what they were * for were not made public knowledge at the meeting. Plans were made to hold the first meeting for the coming budget work on June 26. State senator John F. Augsburger has agreed to work with the board on part of its planning.

Behind The Farm Market Scenes

LAFAYETTE — Soybean prices declined sharply and other grains trended lower while livestock prices were generally steady to higher during late May. J. William Uhrig. Purdue university extension economist, lists these as highlights of price changes occurring for major agricultural commodities produced by Hoosier farmers. Reduced crushings of soybeans and predictions for a larger than anticipated 1972 soybean acreage were major factors causing sc ybean prices to decline nine cents per bushel, he notes. By the end of May, cash soybeans were selling for a bushel in Chicago. This was 34.5 cents above year earlier levels. Corn prices rose two cents during late May but ended the month on a weaker note. Cash com sold at $1.28 a bushel in Chicago Stocks o( com on April 1 were about 3.3 billion bushels. Projected usage is around two billion bushels for the remainder of 1972. Much <rf the projected carryover is under government ownership or loan. Uncertainty about future feed grain sales to Russia, good weather for finishing corn planting and ample supplies are major price factors in the current com market, the economist adds. Cash wheat prices declined four cents per bushel at Kansas City, trading at $1.60 per bushel. Hog prices at Indianapolis traded in a $1 range, ending the month 35 to 50 cents lower than at mid-May. Top quality hogs sold for $27 per himdredweight at month's end. Demands became sluggish as supplies increased. Choice steers at Omaha rose 50 to 75 cents per hundredweight to trade in the $35.25 to $37.50 range.

(Continued From Page 1) recognized Mrs. LaMar Garber of Elkhart, a member of the class of 1922, who responded for her classmates. She is the former Maurine Ralston, daughter of the late George Ralston, another well remembered Milford high school teacher. Mrs. Garber said her class had 22 members, of which 11 were living. FTesent at the alumni gathering besides herself were Esther Haab Gentzhorn, Dorothy Lutes Widner, Raymond Dausman and Martha Augsburger Cripe. Mrs. Garber’s remarks included items of cherished interest to her classmates. The auditorium program was conducted by alumni president Jesse Beer and a secretary’s report was read by Mrs. Alvin Haab and a treasurer’s report by Doris Wolferman. Mrs. Robert Hoerr read the nominating committee’s report as follows: President — Ted Speicher Vice President — Dan Brown Treasurer — Hazel Charlton Secretary — Joan Kline The slate was quickly elected. A brief necrology service was held for alumni members who passed away during the past year: Hariett DeFries, Earl Wolferman and John Vanderveer, Jr. Phil Beer, president of the class ‘of 1947, marking its 25th graduation anniversary, spoke briefly for his class. He recalled a senior “sneak day” when his class left school and went to Pokagon Park. He said he was now making a formal apology to principal Harold Young and Mr. Young responded by saying "apology accepted.” Mr. Beer introduced his nine children and they with himself and Mrs. Beer sang for the group. Phil Bender, a student at Taylor university, sang several religious numbers to the accompaniment of his electric guitar music. Hear Alva Stout Former principal Alva Stout spoke for about 15 minutes of his years as a Milford student and principal. He was bom near Mill wood, he said, later attending the Milford school where the late Richard Vanderveer was principal and faculty — period. He gave high marks to Mr. Vanderveer — “who could quote Shakespeare by the page” —for seeking out talented youngsters to whom he would give special tutoring. He cited a list of students who left the Milford school to distinguish themselves in the world. He also had words of praise for the new Wawasee high school which he toured the previous day, calling it “an investment in our new generation of youngsters.” Mr. Stout singled out Ted Baumgartner and John Augsburger for standing ovations. A poem written by Henry Beer and dedicated to the life and talents of Alva Stout was read during the program.

Strong demand and tight supply conditions continued with many lightweight, under-finished cattle apparently moving to market. Feedlots are viewed as more current now than at any time this year. Wholesale beef prices were generally steady at Chicago, trading at $57-SSB per hundredweight. Grade A large eggs declined a cent per dozen at Chicago markets, trading at 27.5 cents per dozen.

Set-Aside Acreage Provisions Discussed Some principal requirements in set-aside acreage provisions of the 1972 farm programs have been outlined by a local farm program official in response to continuing questions from farmers. The 1681 farmers in Kosciusko county signed up in the feed grain and wheat programs have a vital interest in knowing and complying with set-aside rules in order to earn full farm program payments, according to Scott Hom, chairman of the Kosciusko County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. Purpose of set-aside in the feed grain and wheat programs under the three-year agricultural act of 1970 is to help reduce the potential american agriculture has for excess crop production. Farmers in the set-aside programs give up the use of some of their productive acres in order to help achieve an effective balance between supply and demand. For that reason, farmers are asked to select land for set-aside that has the same average productivity as the program cropland on the farm. Farm payments may be reduced or lost if the average productivity provision is not followed. Set-aside land must be designated and certified by June 15, 1972. That means producers must come into the county ASCS office by that date to give the location of their set-aside land and certify they are in compliance with all set-aside provisions. Producers are cautioned that no changes are allowed after they have certified compliance. “A fanner certifies that he has setaside the acreage and has complied and will continue to comply with set-aside rules,” Mr. Horn said. After set-aside is designated and certified by a producer, his farm may be spotchecked at any time for compliance. If the farm is not in compliance, the producer may lose some or all of his program payment. At a nominal cost, the county ASCS office offers set-aside inspection and measurement service which can provide farmers ahead of time with a guarantee of both acceptable quality and quantity of set-aside acreage.
