EUGENE W. FELKNER, former Milford postmaster, carries with him a label from a beer bottle that he says came from the first bottle of beer sold at the Baumgartner Case in Milford on April 7, 1933, the first day the return of the beverage was legal following 25 years of prohibition. Price of the bottle was 15 cents, according to the label. The Baumgartner Case was the first establishment to have a beer license in Kosciusko county after the repeal of prohibition. THE KOSCIUSKO COUNTY Red Cross chapter is looking for volunteers from Milford to assist with “Project FIND” — the Federal Food Assistance Program. - A meeting has been set for 7:30 p.m. this evening for interested persons, or call the Red Cross headquarters in Warsaw. MRS. GLEN MOREHOUSE of r 1 Milford, president of the Milford-Syracuse WCTU, was recently appointed as state director of Christian citizenship for the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. She is currently participating in the 98th annual convention of the WCTU of Indiana at the High Street United Methodist chiirch in Muncie. The conference began on Tuesday and will continue through tomorrow (Thursday). NEVER TRUST a woman who tells her real age. A woman like that would tell anything. SEVERAL around town recently about dogs running in packs. If you have a dog please respect the law and keep him on your own property or on a leash. C> Q EVEN THOUGH the weather didn’t look too favorable Sunday morning it turned out to be a very nice day for the two bowling teams that went to see the White Sox play. Attending the game were members of the Walter Drug and Campbell’s Market teams. HAS ANYONE noticed how quiet the streets of Milford have been for the last month? You can always tell when school and college kids head back to classes — there’s no one in town! IT HAPPENED AGAIN last week. A Courtier motor freight truck blocked .two-thirds of the intersection on the side of Emeline and Main streets for 20 minutes. This happens quite regularly. To make it worse it happened to be at the time the stoplight on the corner was not working properly and children were coming home from school. The stoplight has since been

repaired by NIPSCo men but we are wondering if the congestion on that comer will ever be alleviated. It seems we have no one on duty in Milford during the daylight hours to keep traffic under control. BLAKE BAUMGARTNER, former Milford resident, was seen “floating” about town in the rain on Saturday. He said the rainy weather didn’t bother him and stated if it wasn’t raining he would have to be home mowing his yard. That’s a job several people have been forced to let go because of the weather. KEEP THOSE LETTERS to the editor rolling in! A recent caller ask for several of his views to be published. We like to hear from the readers but their views have to be in letters to the editor in order to be published. Just send your opinions in a signed letter to the paper. Your name does not need to be published if you ask us not to but we need to have it on file. JON DEWART found out on a recent trip to a local coffee shop that a cracker is a cracker is a cracker, or is it Jon? MORE ON THE RAILROAD - several persons have thanked us for publishing the address to write in connection with the crossings in Milford. The town attorney said recently that he felt it would do more good to write the Public Service Commission of Indiana at Indianapolis. After hearing Chuck Myers relate what an organization here in town heard back from the railroad several years ago one might be inclined to write both places for sure. The organization asked for flashers at the Catherine street crossing. The railroad replied if the crossing was too dangerous to go to the one at the old Syracuse road where there were flashers. How is this message to be given to everyone who ever enters Milford — mental telepathy? As far as this reporter can see it is apathy on the part of the railroad. YOU NEVER KNOW who you are going to meet when you leave Milford ... When this writer and his Mrs. edged into a line for boarding an

aircraft at Memphis, Tenn., late Sunday night, a young fellow sidled up alongside and said quietly, “How is everything in Milford?” It turned out to be John Haughey who was en route from his new job with Federal-Mogul, a Hamilton, Ala., plant that manufactures tapered roller bearings, to Detroit for a sales and planning session. John was employed as an accountant at Weatherhead in Syracuse from 1955-63, and he and his wife Effie and three children lived at Dewart Lake. After November 1 the Haugheys will "be in their new home at r 1, Hamilton, Ala. 35570. Their children include David, 23, just discharged from a fouryear hitch in the navy; Ronald, 22, now married with a 4ti year naval hitch in front of him and the father of a two-year-old son; and Allen, 18, who just enlisted in the air force and is studying jet engine mechanics at Chanute Field, 111. AND TO CARRY the above just a little farther when Lions district governor and Mrs. D. G. Seely of Milford attended Banner night activities in district 25-A over the week end they had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Stanley B. White of East Chicago. Mrs. White is a former area resident and long-time subscriber of The M-J. HAVE YOU BEEN past the junior high school building when it rains? The street gets filled with so much water that anyone trying to cross the street is sure to get his feet wet. This writer wonders why the drains don’t take care of this excess amount of water? WHAT WOULD YOU do if you had just received an order of chicken and were informed that they were sorry, but they were out, of napkins! This can be interesting when you are eating in your car. So, you wonder and worry what you would do with all the sticky little fingers when the kids finish eating. Then, out of the blue, one' of the youngsters suggests washing in a clean mud puddle. It’s not the best but it sure beats sticky fingers. Now, this writer has heard of finger lickin’ good, but this is a little ridiculous. WHY AREN’T people who own cars or trucks required to carry some form of insurance? There have been many accidents lately and the party not responsible is the one who must stand the loss, while the one causing the damage pays only a small fine at most. Is this fair? THE YOUTH PROGRAM at the Milford Christian church got off in full swing Sunday evening as about 90 young people turned out to give it a great kick off for fall and winter. Many things are being planned for an action packed season. IT SEEMS the ghosts and goblins are at it again as at least two homes were lavishly adorned with long streamers draping the trees and bushes Sunday evening while the owners were gone. This is known as the act of teepeeing! , MILFORD FIREMEN say, “We’ll come to your fires. Won’t you come to our chicken bar-b---que, Sunday, Oct. 1, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.”

See you at the bar-b-que! CLOSING NOTE. If you’re always longing for the good old days, just try reading these items by an oil lamp. News, Brillion, Wis. CHAIRMAN — Edward (Moose) Krause has been named the 1972 Christmas Seal chairman for North Central Indiana. The announcement was made by Leßoy Ott, president of the tuberculosis and respiratory disease association of North Central Indiana and Robert Chamness, chairman for Kosciusko county. Krause has been athletic director at the University of Notre Dame since March 22, 1949 and is a familiar figure on the Notre Dame sports scene. Milford Police Have Active Week Members of the Milford police department under town marshall Don Drake have arrested several persons during the past week. Those arrests follow: Jose L. Reges, r 6 Warsaw, for making an unsafe start from a parked position; Timothy R. Rogers, 20, Milford, for failure to have vehicle inspected; Lloyd D.

Shearer Facts ... by Carl Shearer It’s a fact that peace comes when a person trust his entire life to the hands of God. Faith and trust must go hand in hand to do this. It’s difficult to distinguish between trust and faith, but there is a difference. The best explanation I’ve read is this: “Faith is that spark of confidence in the human heart which says, ‘I believe that God can do it.’ Trust is the place of resting. Trust says, ‘lt is now God’s responsibility. I trust Him to do it.’ ” We invite you to the Milford Christian church to hear about an Almighty God.
