The Column M A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

FRED L. HARLAN, 77-year-old r 2 Milford farmer, went to his doctor recently for medication and was reminded by the good physician that he couldn’t make Fred 25 years old again. “I’d be happy if you could just make me feel like 1 was 50 again,” Fred intoned. MIL F O r”d~~ UNITED METHODIST minister Ralph Karstedt, a member of the recent Sounds of Hope European tour,told this one as an aside to his Sunday sermon: “When we arrived home we were told to expect a large “welcome home” sign over road 13. Instead, all we saw was a sign that read ‘corn and sausage’, referring to the corn and sausage supper the Kiwanians were holding at North Webster.” THE BIG FOUR work crew that has been replacing the rails of the railroad line going through Milford recently, has been pulled off the job for a period of from four to six weeks to work elsewhere. Incidentally, the new, larger rail being put in will lift the tracks about four inches, making crossings more difficult for motorists. HAVE YOU EVER noticed that the people who gripe most about local facilities (sidewalks, playgrounds, ' etc.,) in our community are those who do not own property and pay taxes! It sems people who don’t share the cost of government want the moon with a circle around it. Those of us who have lived in Milford and payed the same city taxes without the benefit of sewage that much of the town has are just content to wait and wait and wait on the town board to take some real action to meet with the state requirements for sewage facilities. Here’s hoping the old addage, “Everything comes to him who waits,” turns out to be true. “SON,” a father told his growing boy, “just remember one thing: 1 know a lot more about being young than you do about being old.” — Lane Olinghouse. THREE MILFORD WOMEN were spotted shopping at the new Concord Mall — all were seen in the bargain center but no purchases were made. One of the ladies reportedly returned to Milford and found just what she was looking for in her own home town. Moral of the story: Shopping at home pays! HAVE YOU EVER traveling and ready fora..riieal but unable to findy»Testaurant open? This happened to Mr. and Mrs. Ben Kguser and Mr. and Mrs.' Rtcliard Smith upon returning from a trip recently. For several miles they saw a restaurant advertised in Morrisville and decided to stop there and eat if it was open. They saw the sign lighted and parked and went in the “old mansion home” restaurant. A fast exit was soon made because inside it was old fashioned elegance itself, not a person to be found without dress attire and there they stood in traveling clothes. The women would like to return to the place when they were dressed for the occasion. The food smelled delicious. IN TALKING with her mother (Mrs. Doris Wolferman) recently we hear that Mrs. Rod (Kathy) Beer is expecting to be released

this month from Healthwin hospital at South Bend. She has spent several months there a victim of tuberculosis. Her son Kevin has been cared for by an aunt, Mrs. John Perry. Good luck, Kathy, we’re rooting for you! MR. AND MRS. Bruce Vanlaningham formerly of Milford, now of Utah, report the weather is great and the country there is beautiful. They have purchased a home and are at the present remodeling it and makng it into a rooming house. AN AREA MOTHER was overheard talking about the Gilford schools the other day. She said her daughter had to get a file folder and apron for home ec the next day. Since she lives several miles from town and couldn’t get to town that day to find the needed objects she had to find old ones at home. Her question was as to what happened to .teacher’s consideration? “Do they expect miracles over night? If they want these items furnished why don’t they furnish them or at. least give them some time to get them.” Another complaint is the little fourth grade girls have to have physical education uniforms. They have physical education two times each week the mother said. It seems to be a waste of money and very unnecessary. They could at least give the choice to the parents to buy one or not. If it’s that important, this mother feels the school should furnish them.

Is there a physical education teacher or administrator who would like to answer this question for this mother? BEULAH LENTZ, her sister Martha Cogan and a friend Dianna Pollock of Kendallville came to Milford on Monday to visit Mrs. Lentz’s daughter Mrs. Clifford (Louise) Replogle at the nursing home. They were spied later in the day as they shopped in downtown Milford. ARE YOU REGISTERED for the November election? If not why not stop by the fire station on Wednesday. Sept. 20, and take advantage of the ° mass registration night being held by the town’s Democrat and Republican committeemen. It’s not only your American right but your duty to vote on November 7. AL WEBB of the Lions International office staff at Oak Brook, ID., was in Milford on Saturday afternoon. He was not here, however, to visit with District 25-G’s Governor D. G. (Bud) Seely as one might think. Webb was here to attend the wedding of his niece Sharon at the Christian church. Sharon is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Webb of r 1 Leesburg. It was a busy day at the Christian church with Sharon’s wedding to Mark Meerzo taking place at 2 p.m. and Bill Burgett claiming a California girl for his bride that evening. Bill, a member of the U. S. Marine Corps, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. William Burgett of Milford. OVERHEARD: A first grader describing a lettuce salad she had had for lunch at school recently. When asked what kind of dressing it had she replied, “I don’t know, it was invisible, but it sure was good!” RUTH CECIL and Edith Baumgartner have returned to Milford after a western vacation. They enjoyed a trip to the top of Pikes Peak and the Denver area and visited with Ruth Jones and her sons Steve and Stu. The Joneses are former Milford residents.

£lakelanß Ml Xouth py © Ce<rt er Hewsg By JERRY THORNBURG The youth center is back into full swing again with the “Chosen Few” playing at last Friday’s dance. They were a smash as usual, nearly packing the center’s large dance floor. Comments were made about the colorfully carpeted walls adding to the quality of sound reproduction. This coming Friday the center will feature “Roosevelt Johnson and the 7-Cs” from Muncie. Come on in and hear this wild musical group with “Rosey” himself leading the pack. It’s still not too late to sign up for the chess and ping pong tournaments scheduled for Thursday night. Don’t forget to get your membership for the Youth Center. The hike thru Brown County’s state park is still scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 30. We need tents. Anyone willing to loan the youth center his tent for the week end should call me at the center any evening, Tuesday, thru Saturday. “We try . . . will you?”
