H The Column A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

The street signs are up! Mr. and Mrs. Glen Pinkerton of Milford had a new addition to their family Saturday morning. The new member of the Pinkerton family is a seven and a half week old toy fox terrier puppy named “Squeak” at birth because he squealed most of the time. He was purchased to replace the dog they lost a few months ago and has been re-named “Pal.” Mr. and Mrs. Rich Timmons and family of Syracuse are the new owners of “Squeak’s” sister who was named “Whimpey” - when she was born because she whimpered all the time. “Whimpey” has yet to be renamed by her new owners. Has anyone seen “Bronson” riding his shiny orange cycle around town lately? Watch out for him! Has anyone heard the latest happening at the Milford library? Ask Donna Angle how she got locked out of the library and had to look all over town for the key to get back into the building. What Milford bowler has bell bottom pants that bother her when she bowls so she pulls them up and holds them with a rubber band so they looked like y knickers??? Town board members have received compliments on the new street signs that were installed last week by street and water commissioner John Martin and other Milford residents and representatives of Milford business places through the efforts of the MAD members.' One thing for sure it’s a lot easier to give directions when you can tell someone to go to a certain street and turn left or right instead of trying to count blocks and hoping you didn’t miss any. Milford is a very busy place in more ways than one — some good, some bad! This week end someone managed to stab a young Milford resident and Campbell’s market was robbed. A petition has been started against the annexation. Doris Wolferman resigned Monday night as the town’s clerktreasurer with the resignation being effective on January 1, 1973. . 'J—And, a lot of community effort was put forth on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday the MAD organization held an auction for the benefit of radio equipment for the fire department, the Eastern Star had a bake sale and sold sandwiches and coffee at the auction, the Bethel youth had a car wash. ’ On Sunday the firemen had another big and successful chicken bar-b-que. This always brings people to town that we don’t see very often and turns out to be a place to visit as well as eat. A little bird tells us that Mrs. Dick (Karleen) Felkner enjoys! ?) criticism of her friends so much that she takes them to adult choir practice at the United Methodist church. She makes a special effort to invite them to her home on Wednesday evenings so they can attend with her. That’s reaHy asking for it Karleen! , Bill and Carol Stemburgh are new residents of Milford. They reside on North road and Mr. Stemburgh is the manager of the Burger store in Goshen. Other new residents of the area are Mr. and Mrs. Francis Vandegrist who reside at Pinkerton’s Landing on Dewart Lake. If you think you have problems you can be thankful you don’t have the one Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Bucher have! The woodpeckers have been attracted to the wood trim oip their new home at Dewart Lake. Does anyone want a woodpecker! The Buchers have some

they would like to “give” away. How would you like to be sold with the business where you are employed? We hear this is going on in a neighboring community. How do you sell your employees to a buyer, so much per head? We hear they prefer to make their own decisions about whom they work for and when they work and we can’t say we blame them. People aren’t livestock! Did you see the branch off the apple tree that Mrs. Merrill (Wilma) Rink was showing last week. It contained a large number of perfect, small apples and made a beautiful display. Our. guess (we goofed and forgot to ask her) is that it came from son Frank’s apple orchard. Is there a law stating how long a t|ain can block traffic? Many people are late getting to t work or held up getting home because a train is stopped on the tracks. It sometimes stays there for 15 or 20 minutes. Sometimes, if you are lucky, one of the crossings at the edge of town will be open, but not always. Can’t something be done about this? It happens in nice, peaceful communities too! As we hear it several women golfers at the Tippecanoe golf club had the surprise of their lives last Thursday while golfing on the back nine. A man walked out of the 'woods with no clothes on. Needless to say the ladies made a fast exit in their golf carts, and no one seems to know what happened to the naked man. At least one person in this town thinks it would be nice if arrangements could be made so that the “smallfry” in town could do his trick-or-treating on Saturday afternoon. It might help since it is usually late, after the planned Halloween activities at the school and the youngsters are a little tired.

'Dtere are varied reactions to afternoon trick-or-treating — we have already found some negative answers from working womsi who dean house on Saturday afternoon — what’s yours? The town board is presently trying to decide which day (only one this year) should be set aside for trick-or-treating — Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday. Watch for an announcement from them in next week’s paper. Milford’s new rock band, composed of Donn May, Dan Bess, Steve Vanlaningham and Mike Felkner, played its first engagement at a dance Saturday night. The dance honored the Milford Ace softball team for their winning season in the United Mexican-American league The party was held at Saint Martin de Porres Catholic church near Syracuse. A Mexican-American band also provided music for the evening’s festivities. The Milford area is getting a lot of new modular homes this year. Pat Speicher has recently completed two on the former Azy Tucker farm near Camp Mack. He has now started two in town at the intersection of Section and Maple on the former Child’s property. We hear some of them are re-sold already. And, have you heard a Milford businessman is planning a four unit modular apartment complex in the uptown area in Milford? Hope this works out, we’re for growth. ...... Since the “horse has gotten out of the bam” Merle and Bud Campbell are making what they hope is a burglar proof entry to the store basement from Catherine street. Seems like what we all do with our planned improvements, wait for necessity to move us on matters. Maybe the rest of us should beware. After the recent crimes we realize the need for police protection in our town. Several Milford youngsters took high honors in the PP&K contest held Saturday at Wawasee high school. Greg Weisser, son of the Fred Weissers of east of town, won the nine-year-old division and will represent the Lakeland area at the zone contest in Elkhart this coming week end. Andy Brown, son of the Bob Browns, won third place in the 11-year-olds; Todd Grove, son of the Frank Groves, won a second place in the 12-year-olds; and Norman Vanlaningham, son of the Robert Vanlaninghams, won third place in the 13-year-olds.

AUCTION SATURDAY — Some of the Items auctioned at the Milford Area Development community auction held Saturday for the benefit of the fire department’s radio fund are shown in the front of the above photo. In back auctioneer O. A. Lambert sells an item as those present gather around to bid.

Much talk has been about town lately about our proposed sewer system. As far as we know the depth of the sewer in the part we are planning to annex has not been discussed in an open meeting, however, the depth of the sewer lines for the present town has been discussed at recent meetings, including September. Conversations were held on the depth of the sewer and the total costs with Baxter and Woodman’s engineering firm representatives. The four foot depth rather than eight foot depth asked for in the previous try for a sewer in 1967 is in the tentative plans because of prohibitive cost of construction with such deep sewer lines. We who have been waiting these many years for final action on this project say “Keep it moving.” You can’t please everyone anyhow! Phil Metcalf, math teacher in the Milford junior high school, wears a Nixon-Agnew button in the classroom. Tsh! Tsh! No Injuries In Two-Car Collision An auto driven by Mildred Klopenstein, 67, r 1 North Webster, collided with an auto driven by Edward A. Watkins, 27, 411 West Center St., Warsaw, over the week end. The accident occurred on state road 15, one mile south of Leesburg at the intersection of county road 600 N. Both vehicles were southbound. The Klopenstein auto was attempting a turn onto county road 600 N and at the same time the Watkins auto attempted to pass. Mr. Watkins was cited for improper passing at an intersection. Damage was listed at S4OO to the cars and no injuries were reported.

Remonstrance Petition Being Carried By Four

Four parties in the area surrounding Milford that the Milford town board proposes to annex are carrying remonstrance petitions in the area for signatures. According to Stanley Custer, a resident of r 1 Milford and a principal favoring the remonstrance, told The Mail-Journal this morning that he, Paul Mathews, Don Wolferman and Rick Vanlaningham are carrying remonstrance petitions. Custer said their reception “has been good,” using a figure of 80 per cent as a reference of acceptance. He said the four are also asking anyone interested to contribute toward their cause. Organization Meeting Custer said the group has called an organizational meeting, to be held at his home at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 9. The remonstrance is an outgrowth of the public meeting held last Monday night at the Milford fire station which was attended by 72 townspeople and area residents. At that meeting, annexation was discussed and town board members were present to answer questions. Attorney Richard Sands told the group they should figure on paying an attorney at the rate of S4O per hour, and that they should have a “war chest” of $3,000 if he was to take their case. He said

then their chances of stalling off annexation are slim. One of the principal objections at the meeting a week ago was that the annexation did not go far enough and include residential area east of town. Custer said his group did not plan to hire Mr. Sands as their attorney. Valuation In Milford Down *19,880 Valuation of property dropped $19,880 even though the valuation of the county is up to $141,315,800 from last year. In most cases tax rates will be lower than originally advertised, however, Milford’s rate will remain at $2.42 because the devaluation of property in town. With the devaluation the town will be forced to trim its services during the coming year since they can not increase the budget once it has been advertised.

Other towns who will be cutting back on their services during the coming year are Burket, down $3,300; Pierceton, down $41,720; Sidney, down* $6,540; and War-saw-Plain, down $114,560.
