► ” i - i CRIT WITHERSPOON - Prep Edged By Panthers The old football saying If you score you may win, if they never score you will never lose — went by the wayside quickly this past Friday night, as the Lakers winning streak was halted by a very fine team from Prairie Heights, 22-36. The Panthers controlled the ball for almost two-thirds of the 48 minutes. Preps outnumbered defensive unit had to spend too much time on the field, and as a result, the well-oiled Panthers used up the clock and punched over two more TDs than the determined Lakers. The fine passing of QB Kevin Frey and the hard running of Chuck Spillner, with four TDs, proved too much for Greg Anderson and Company. Anderson, second leading scorer in Northern Indiana in 1971, scored three TDs and one twopoint conversion. Quarterback Terry Bonds, improving every game, had his best game with a well called game. Otha Wallace, fine senior end from Fort Wayne, added two points with a PAT conversion. Defensively, the Lakers were disappointed that they could not contain the off tackle play and the screen pass. The off tackle play has been a bother all year. Senior Maurice Johnson was lost for the remaining game, when he received a bad ankle sprain in the second quarter. Before leaving the game Johnson had 11 tackles. Joining him in the big ten club were Frank Hunckler, Crit Witherspoon, Jack Pain, Jay Muehlenkamp and Kevin

McLain. Offensively, Greg Anderson ' had another outstanding game sjrith over 125 yards on the ground, 60 yards thru the air, and one interception. Greg is well over 1200 yard mark that he set last year as a junior. The junior varsity lost their I final game of the year to a good team from West Noble, 6-36. The team, coached by Vince Romeo, 1 finished with a record of 1-3-1. I The varsity will play their final game of the season, the second , full varsity team for the Prep, Saturday, p.m., at Prep, against a fine team from Gull Lake, Mich. Hear Racer — (Continued From Page 1) Bathtub of Fuel He called a racing car a “bathtub of fuel on wheels.” But he added that racers wear fireproof suits, shoes and other gear, including a full face helmet. He said 50 per cent of the time crashes result in fire. He said suits are good to withstand 35 seconds in total fire, adding that his brother, Merle, was in a fire over a minute in his Michigan accident, resulting in serious bums. He said racing is actually getting safer each year. He said next year he would be driving for Patrick Petroleum. He enters about 60 races per year from March through December. Asked about physical fitness as a prerequisite for a good race driver, Bettenhausen said “just driving will keep you in shape.” He says he doesn’t get any mere “static” from his family about his chosen career than most of his listeners do, but that he had no plans of encouraging his twin sons to take up racing. Guest of Vega Vega Corporation officials hosted the luncheon to acquaint local racing fans with the famous young race driver, and to give them an inside look at the new Vegabond such as Bettenhausen will be driving. Al Amos told the group briefly about the growth in the recreational vehicle field, stating that in 1971, 600,000 units were sold, at a gross of $1,600,000,000, and that so far in 1972 over 700,000 units have been sold. Bettenhausen was introduced by Gary Baker, vice president of sales ~of the fast-growing Syracuse company responsible for bringing the famous race . driver to the area. —- » UNICEF Area Youngsters Trick Or Treat For UNICEF Youngsters from the United Methodist churches in Milford and Syracuse will be trick or treating for UNICEF this week.

Milford sth Graders See 'Black Beauty' Members of the fifth grade reading class from Milford junior high school attended a special showing at the Pickwick Theater recently. The purpose of the trip was to stimulate the pupil's interest in reading material through viewing classics that perhaps they could not read independently. They viewed “Black Beauty,” a classic children’s story of human injustice, cruelty and kindness to animals and the human class structure in 19th century England. Secondly, they saw “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. This film was fantasy in it’s purest form. Human faults and errors were humorously depicted, but the naughty behavior received its just punishment in the end. WCSC Meets Thursday The monthly meeting of the Women’s Christian Service council of the Syracuse Church of God met Thursday in the home of Mrs. Leo Druckamiller. Past president Mrs. Louis Firestone opened the meeting with prayer and group singing of “Spirit of the Living God.” Mrs. Walter Burcham installed the following new officers for the ensuing year: President — Mrs. George Yerger Vice president — Mrs. Ted Grindle Secretary — Mrs. Gerald Secrist Assistant sec. — Mrs. Firestone Treasurer — Mrs. Lee Adams Committee chairmen installed were Mrs. Firestone, Mrs. Jerry Stutzman, Mrs. Arnold Grindle, Mrs. Ethel Hamilton, Mrs. Jack Elam and Mrs. Oliver Hibschman. Dues for the year were inserted in cups made of paper and tacked to a cupboard, with each member voicing goals and desires for the group for the coming year. The program “These Cups” was led by Mrs. Hibschman. The theme song “Fill my Cup, Lord” was sung by the group. A miniatiire dove was given each member to hang in her kitchen, in keeping with the theme of the year “A Dove in my Kitchen.” It was announced that the annual family night will take the place of the regular meeting on November 15. Refreshments were served to the 14 members attending, at the close of the session.

Midwest Fall Color Tour

Experts explain fall color displays and changes as a chemical reaction —a perfectly logical result «of the season’s shorter hours of sunlight — but for the viewer, another dimension is all-important, a never to be forgotten view of magnificient scenery. September, October and November mark the days of Indian Summer here in the Midwest. It is during this time that golds, reds and browns take over the foliage of the countryside, reflected by ponds, lakes and rivers and accented by the clear, blue autumn skies. r The Chicago Motor club’s touring department points out that our Midwest area has some of the best fall color scenery to be seen in the country. But while it is impossible to predict fall color peaks exactly, here are some guidelines for Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan. The club emphasizes again that weather can effect not only the timing of fall colors, but their intensity. ILLINOIS — Mid-October is the best time to view fall coloring in this part of the Midwest. In northern Illinois the Mississippi palisades would be a good place to visit as would nearby Galena. Illinois 2 follows the Rock River south from Rockford and is an especially pleasant drive for fall color seekers in mid-October. A favorite Chicago-area attraction is Morton Arboretum near Lisle, where 4,800 plant species vie for honors in fall color attractiveness. In central Illinois a drive along the Illinois River from Peru to Peoria is another color tour favorite. State parks are always convenient on this drive with Starved Rock at the northern end and Pere Marquette near the southern end. INDIANA — In Indiana fall color means Brown County. In mid-October the entire state is ablaze with color and Brown County’s Indiana 46 has no peer. Clifty Falls State Park on the Ohio River, reached by Indiana 56, will also be beautiful through mid and late October, according to visitors in previous years. The Parke County area is another excellent attraction during the fall with many picturesque covered bridges dotting the landscape reminding travelers of another era when life was a little slower. t WISCONSIN — Since fall coloring starts in the north and

Michael Radcliff In Ashland Choir ASHLAND, OHIO - Michael Radcliff, son of Rev. and Mrs. Jerald D. Radcliff, Milford, will appear with the Ashland college choir (Ashland, Ohio) in its opening concert of the 1972-73 school year on October 26 at 8:15 p.m. The program is scheduled for Memorial Chapel on the Ashland campus and will consist of the Motet “The Spirit also Helpeth” by J. S. Bach and other accompanied and unaccompanied works from the 16th, 18th and 20th centuries.

moves steadily south with the changing weather, northern Wisconsin will peak in late September or early October, while the rest of the state’s color should peak in mid-October. In the northern Eagle River-Rhinelander-Manitowish Waters area Wisconsin 70 and U.S. 51 are good routes to explore. Door county is another great fall color and recreation area. Take Wisconsin 42 and 57 to see Door county. The Kettle Moraine forest, west of Milwaukee, is traversed in both its sections by Wisconsin 67 and is a beautiful place to motor through any time of the year. For those with more time, try following the Wisconsin River valley west to the Mississippi and then north on Wisconsin 35 which follows the Mississippi. Both of these river valleys are breathtaking when decked out in fall colors. MICHIGAN — Fall comes first to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. All of the U.P. is forested and all of it is beautiful in late September. Michigan 28 is an especially good highway for scenery. The peak color period is usually mid-October in the western and southern portions of the Lower Peninsula. Michigan 37 takes you through a wooded region of the Lower Peninsula and is a good scenic drive. When beginning a fall color expedition of your own you must remember that the above dates are only approximate because the right combination of cool weather and low humidity are the all-important factors. If the weather is right the scenery will be spectacular. , LEGALS NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS OF KOSCIUSKO COUNTY Notice is hereby given to the taxpayers of Kosciusko County, Indiana, that the Board of Commissioners of Kosciusko County, Indiana, will meet at 2:00 P.M. on November 6, 1972, in the Commissioners Room in the Court House for the purpose of considering a proposal to establish a Cumulative Bridge Fund for the building and repair of bridges in said County; and the levying of an additional tax of five cents (.05 cents) on each one hundred dollars (S 100.00 of taxable real and personal property within the taxing district to provide monies for said fund, said tax to be first levied in 1972 payable 1973, and annually thereafter for a period not to ex ceed five years, as provided for in Chapter 299 of the Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana for 1951.
