LIFE CAN sure be sticky on humid, hot August mornings. As we hear it a fellow started to work one day recently and discovered a flat tire on his truck, that’s no problem, just put on the spare, right? Wrong, the spare was flat too. Some mornings you just don’t get ahead do you Dick? SCHOOL WILL be starting soon and many children will be walking to and from school. Since many of these children will be going to school for the first time it would be a good idea for dog owners to keep their pets tied in the morning and afternoons as youngsters are often afraid of strange dogs. It’s a state law that dogs have to be tied at ail times when not on their owner’s property! Maybe this law should be enforced. THERE’S A BUILDING BOOM in the Milford area at the present time. First Kinder Realty is building nine new homes in the Meadow View Addition at the northwest edge of town, of which seven have already been sold, according to Don Runge. These homes will complete the entire addition.

Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Sharp are building a new home on Waubee Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Sprinkel of Miami, Fla., are building a new home in the same area, with plans to move about the middle of September. Elkhart policeman and Mrs. George Hartter have purchased the Floyd Fuller home on the southwest end of Waubee Lake and are doing extensive remodeling. George has another year on the Elkhart police fordte, then plans to move here permanently. c . • Lakeland school superintendent and Mrs. Don Arnold have purchased a Waubee Lake lot, located south of the Hartter home, and plan to build a new home there next year. Other homes are on the drawing board in the Milford area. HAVE YOU noticed the freight trucks and delivery trucks that park for long periods of time in the middle of streets and at places marked with no parking signs at the end of various blocks in Milford. This is especially bad at the corner of Emeline and Main. Last week a Borden’s truck parked for 35 minutes where you couldn’t see around to see if a car was coming out of the side street and those who wanted around had to get clear on the left side to get around. In this case there were three empty spaces at the side of the store but the driver chose to ignore them. MR. AND MRS. Leon Young and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Green of Milford were among those attending the reunion of the class of 1957 of Bremen high school Saturday night. Others from the area who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Gragg and Mr. and Mrs. David Heckaman of Syracuse. Green, Mrs. (Betty) Young, Heckaman and Gragg were members of the class.

HAS ANYONE seen Della’s suitcase. Seems she loaned it to someone but can’t remember who! ONE M-J reporter watched in awe the other day as a young Mexican-American lad of five or six wrestled with what was a major problem to him. He was riding a bicycle which was much too large for him and was carrying a hand full of mail. He dropped part of the mail! What to do? It was impossible to hold the bike upright, keep track of the mail in his hand and pick up the scattered envelopes too. The reporter watched and was about to offer assistance when the lad struck upon a bright idea. He laid the bike down, picked up the mail and was soon on his way down the street. HEARD RECENTLY — A man from a nearby community telling about the vulgarity of X-rated movies and their advertisements. His comments were made by use of profane language. Is this a generation gap? LAST FRIDAY afternoon was not quite so hot and humid as the week had been and on making a trip to the bank and post office noticed two or three little groups of people talking. One conversation lasted quite awhile between Rev. Jerald Radcliff and Glenn Bixler as they leaned on a car. On the other side of the street stood Larry Slabaugh and Amos Om deep in conversation, and three young men were standing not far from them discussing automobiles — our reporter heard the names of a couple as she went by. Sure was nice to have a little break in the heat. TOM SORENSEN of r 1 Milford is able to walk with the aid of a crutch and is starting school next week with his senior class. He will be going on a part time basis. Tom still takes therapy for his injuries at the Elkhart hospital. You might remember Tom was injured in an accident early in May. Nice to see you moving about Tom! WE SAW former staff member Linda Musselman and her darling little girl Teresa Lynn on Saturday. Linda seems to be enjoying her role as a mother and who would blame her. BEA RUCH, local beautician, was enjoying her birthday on Saturday and promptly declared when patrons gave her gifts it was just like Christmas. Much to her surprise one of her gifts was a delightful little tray bearing the words, “Merry Christmas.” THE CARDINAL Handbell Choir will be at the Island Chapel United Methodist church west of Milford on Friday, Sept. 8. A pot luck supper will be held at 6 p.m. with the program being held at 7:30. Everyone is invited to attend this unusual program. MRS. TED (ELLEN) BROOKS will be off to the state of Washington for a long Labor Day week end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Phelps. AUGSBURGER’S Food Palace at Milford had their youngest customer last Thursday when Mr. and Mrs. Stan Price brought their young daughter, only a few hours old, into the store with them. HOW ABOUT a woman on the Lakeland school board. Several

area school boards —WaNee and Goshen to name two — have women serving on their boards. Women know how to pinch pennies and also how to obtain quality products. It also gives a different view since women always have different ideas. Let’s get liberated and elect a woman to the school board! EVEN THOUGH the weatherman was not what everyone might have ordered a big crowd turned out for the annual Apostolic Christian church Youth Day at Camp Mack on Sunday. There were many from surrounding churches who attended. DORIS WOLFERMAN, local bank employee is getting married and is resigning her position as clerk-treasurer of the Milford town board as of December 31 of this year. Who would you like for darktreasurer? WE ARE SURE you have heard of the birds going south for the winter. Well, a vary special group of Birds gathered at the home of Senator and Mrs. J. F. Augsburger of Syracuse on Sunday. These Birds are the family of the late Charles and Grace Bird of Milford. A pot luck dinner was enjoyed by the 66 people attending from Milford, Syracuse, Nappanee, Warsaw, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Angola, Madison, Wis., and Nicholasville, Ky. MOTHERS SHOULD keep their pre-schoolers off the streets of Milford. In the western edges of town there are several youngsters in the four-year-old bracket who are riding their bikes down the middle of the street. We always thought this was what back yards and sidewalks were for but guess we’re wrong! This creates one big problem for drivers as these pre-schoolers have trouble handling the bikes and often fall in front of cars. Please Mom won’t you put your kids off the streets. Gas Users To Absorb Increased Cost To NIPSCo Natural gas users in the Lakeland area will be paying an increased cost, although the increase will be minimal. The announcement came this week by Dean Mitchell, NIPSCo chairman, to recover increases of pipeline suppliers to his company. He said household users, other than heating, will pay 1c more per month for gas, while residential customers using gas for home heating will pay 6c per month more. NIPSCo’s filing with the Public Service Commission of Indiana today is in accordance with an order of the Commission issued December 11, 1970 authorizing gas distribution utilities in Indiana to recover increases in the cost of gas purchased from pipeline suppliers. Sgt. Terry Reed Arrives At Lockbourne COLUMBUS, OHIO — U.S. Air Force sergeant Terry L. Reed, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Reed, Jr., of 111 N. Broadway, Mentone, has arrived for duty at Lockbourne AFB, Ohio.

Tucker, Mentone.
