WE’RE TRYING something new and want the opinion of our readers. First, we decided to revamp the column OUR TOWN which has appeared in this space for a long time. We asked our readers what they thought about it, and the response was good. The change is timely. Now we’re searching for a name for the column and have hit a real snag. Can you help us out? We’re asking our readers for suggestions — not of the Peyton Place variety — but something sound and sensible. We’ll be looking for your suggestions for next week’s column.

CONNIE GEIGER, girl Friday at the new Ralston Purina plant north of Milford, could easily be called the Checkerboard Square girl. Connie wears a fetching dress of breviated length, and a blouse with flowing sleeves, all made of checkerboard material. What with her long blonde hair, she would make a good addition to any office force. HAVE YOU noticed the grass and weeds growing around the signs north of town? Wonder whose job it is to keep this growth trimmed? IT’S GOOD to see Lloyd Coy back to work after being released

from the Goshen hospital last Friday following a two-week’s illness. AS WE HEAR it Mrs. Dan (Pam) Smith of near Milford came home from a week end of camping and visiting with relatives to find her refrigerator had conked out while she was away. This can really do something for your spirits on Sunday evening at 11:30 when you have been gone since suppertime on Friday, so we hear! How about it Pam? TWENTY YOUNG people and sponsors from the high school class of the Milford Christian church were off for a good time last Sunday. They attended church services in Hicksville, Ohio, and spent the afternoon at Cedar Point. ISN’T THERE something that can be deme about putting lights at the railroad crossings in Milford? Lights and better markings are especially needed at the Catherine street crossing which is heavily traveled, being the street most often taken by persons going from Milford to Syracuse. It’s surprising there have been no accidents there lately. There sure have been many close misses for many people crossing those tracks. We can’t help but wonder what will happen when the repair work now underway on the tracks is completed and 14 plus trains run through Milford each day...

AT APPROXIMATELY 1:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 16, Janice Rapp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rapp of Milford, returned home from a three-week tour of northern Europe. Miss Rapp traveled with an Indiana State university home economics department group to complete her graduate work for her master’s degree. THERE’S A GOOD chance BUI Little will file for election to the Lakeland school board from district 3. Bill is now a board member, replacing by appointment Kenneth Haney when he resigned in 1970. At the present time district 3 (Van Buren township and the east half of Jefferson township) has only one board member, and district 2 (Turkey Creek township) and district 1 (Tippecanoe township) each have two members. With the filing in district 3 this week of Phil Payne, several possibilities open up. Another person in district 3 could file besides BUI Little, and both could conceivably be elected. The two seats now held in district 2 are not up for election, so the changes on the board and possible realignment would have to be in district 1 and 3. Confusing? It need not be, since each of the three districts in the Lakeland school districts must have at least one member on the board and not more than two. At

the present time district 1 has two members, district 2 two members, and district 3 one member. CAN’T win! MUford has two school houses with beautiful ball fields but where do the youngsters choose to congregate . . . Main street. Now, in our opinion Main street is no place for a footbaU game! True, it would be a different story if there was no place to go, but Milford is a small town and the junior high school is only a few blocks from Main street and not only makes a better place to play ball but also a safer one. THE PEOPLES State Bank at Leesburg now has three Heiermans working there. Al Heierman began his employment at the bank August 1, 1939, and is president of the bank. His son, James H. Heierman, has been with the bank 12 years and is now vice president. Jim’s son, James W. Heierman, has been working at the bank as a summertime employee. He graduated from Warsaw high school and will enter Valparaiso university next month. He plans to return to the Peoples State Bank when he completes his four years at Valpo U. TWO YOUNG LADIES, one of them from the Milford area, running a half hour behind schedule (first clue to a nice week

end), started for Indianapolis and the state fair last Saturday. Preparations before leaving included purchasing admission tickets, ordering tickets for the Sonny and Cher show and paid motel reservations. Second clue to a great week end was the weatherman’s report of a 94 degree hot day with showers. One hour on the road, it poured. Stops raining and the right turn signal on the car stops signalling. Station attendant, working alone with everyone running low on gas, repairs the signal. He reported both light bulbs and flasher fuse were burned out which is very unusual. The fairgrounds at last! People start to line up at 3:30 p.m. in front of‘the coliseum for the 4 p.m. Sonny and Cher show. At 4:30, the doors finally open with the show starting at five o’clock. A comedian was first on the program (15 minutes on stage) and next Miss Indianan State Fair welcomed everyone (less than five minutes). Oh boy! A ten minute intermission is next on the agenda. At approximately 5:30, Sonny and Cher appeared on stage. Following the show and walking the fairgrounds another hour, they leave for their motel

with paid reservations. While driving to the motel one thinks “tired, weary bones you are about to rest,” but come to find out the motel didn’t have a room for them. But, finally everything worked out for a fabulous week' end! Or so the girls guess. EVER HAVE a homecooked Japanese dinner for your 48th wedding anniversary? Mr. and Mrs. Henry Beer did one day last week! Seems daughter Lois (Mr. and Mrs. Willis Ehnle and four children are home from their mission field in Japan) took over the kitchen for the day and served the unusual anniversary dinner. ” The Ehnle’s will be in Milford until the end of this week. THE ORN REUNION was held Sunday at the Milford fire station. It was good to see Clarence and Waneta Miller, former Dewart Lake residents now living in Arizona, back in town for a visit. DON’T FORGET Lakeland football tickets go on sale tomorrow. This year seats will be reserved for those who wish them between the 40 yard lines. j WHAT A Mail-Journal staff member won’t gothrough to get a

SCHOOLS OPEN SEPTEMBER 5 The 1972-73 school year { begins August 31 for teachers in the several Lakeland schools with the first student day being Tuesday, Sept. 5. news item for the paper! After discovering a birth which went in the paper our reporter couldn’t remember the girl’s parents last name so she called a sister-in-law, who didn’t know; a brother-in-law, who didn’t know; two sister-in-laws whom she couldn’t reach; and another sister-in-law who’s line was busy. In the mean-time the brother-in-law called the sister-in-law who’s line was busy. The sister-in-law at Syracuse called her mother at North Webster and her mother called the mother-in-law (who had a Pierceton phone) of the girl who knew the last name. The mother at North Webster called the sister-in-law back and she in turn called The MailJournal and the birth went in the paper with few people knowing all who were involved in making this one announcement in the paper. That’s how the birth of Mr. and Mrs. Reggie Coy’s son ’ “happened” to get in The M-J. SEEN ON the street last week looking at a gift house “wish book” was Milford junior high school English teacher Dorothy Williams. One of The M-J gals stopped her for a minute to ask if she was anxious for school to start. She answered with a big “Yes”, and then added this didn’t mean she wouldn’t be just as anxious for it to be over in the spring. Mrs. Williams has spent much time in the last few years teaching in Africa and doing summer teaching in New Mexico with the Indian children. She loves to teach children and it’s obvious when you talk with her. THE 4-H GROUPS of the Milford area spent the day at the State Fair in Indianapolis on August 17. The 4-H’ers had fun enjoying the sights of the fair and returned home about 9 that evening. THE GREATER Warsaw Chamber of Commerce came out with a business barometer for the past year which includes these figures: Bank deposits jumped from 175,829,732 in 1971 to 185,230,290 in 1972 (an increase of >9,400,558 or 12.3 per cent); postal receipts jumped from >705,974 in 1971 to >1,138,724 in 1972 (an increase of >432,750 or 61.3 per cent); and telephones in service from 18,898 in 1971 to 19,748 in 1972 (an increase of 850 or 4.4 per cent). y RECENT GUESTS IN MILFORD Recent guests in the home of Mrs. Clayton Woolson at Milford were Mr. and Mrs. Cecil McKee of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Woolson of Lewiston, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Robson and family of Niles were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Dean Cousins of Milford.
