WORRIED MOTHER CLEARS GIRLS A worried mother last week, called the Syracuse police department to report a boating incident on Wawasee in an effort to clear her daughter and another young lady. Seems the two young misses were summoned for help by another boater who ran out of gas, were given a gas can and $2 to purchase some gas for the stranded craft. In attempting to get the necessary gas, the girls developed engine problems which took some time to correct, and upon returning with the gas, found that the stranded boat was no longer stranded and the party no where insight. i The worried mother did not want the party to think the girls absconded with the can and money without attempting to help.

Without Volunteers Milford Will Lose Ambulance Service

Wade Mishler, owner and operator of Milford’s only ambulance service, told members of die Milford town board Monday night the town would be without ambulance service as of January 1,1973. Mishler said the average person doesn’t realize the new regulations which will go into effect between 1973 and 1975 and the fact he (Mishler) has gone in die red the past several years operating an ambulance for the community. Mishler stated he couldn’t continue in this matter. Mishler also said operating an ambulance service requires someone to be available 24 hours per day and since a driver never makes a run alone he needs to find help before he can leave on an emergency run. This gets to be quite a problem. During a lengthy discussion period it was noted there is only one ambulance service in Kosciusko county which will qualify under the new regulations. This, he said, is a $12,000 piece of equipment and is in Warsaw. Mrs. Bessie Sunthimer, board member, asked the question, “How can they figure this is safer than no ambulance at all.” Mishler said he made 184 runs last year. He said payment is not received for many of the runs he makes each year. Following the discussion Mishler said if the town would provide dependable volunteer service he would be willing to go along and continue to operate the service and go along with the equipment. Asked what type of training volunteers would need, Mishler said a standard first aid course which is offered by the Red Cross about every six months. It was noted the Syracuse volunteer Firemen assist with ambulance service in that neighboring town. Mishler said about 30 per cent of his calls are made in die town of Milford with the remainder in Van Buren township. He said he would need two volunteers available around the dock with no less than eight volunteers altogether. The board took the problem under advisement stating they knew it was the town’s problem as the residents would be deprived of a service. Hopefully a solution will be found before the end of the year. Other Business In other business before the board a discussion was held with representatives of Umbaugh and McQueen of Plymouth on the proposed increase in water rates for the town. This discussion was held before the opening of the meeting with soine notations also being made on the sewage treatment facilities which are being planned for the town. Park board president Dean Troup told the town board the park funds are dwindling because of the extra expenses. Troup also said the flag pole had been broken again and the rope broken. Miller also noted the plate had

been chipped off the monument in front of the town hall. The attorney is continuing, to work on the law suit brought against the town by the Cleo Estep family some years ago. Attorney William I. Gerrard was not present at Monday’s meeting for further details, however, board president Dr. T. A. Miller planned to see him on Tuesday. John Martin, of the street department, asked what is going to be done about a sander this year and was told the board is currently trying to sell the old dump truck, however, board members agreed something will have to be done before the snow flies.
