ELECTION TIME brings to mind this quote from Will Rogers: “One of the evils of Democracy is that you have to endure the man you elected, whether you like him or not.” HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES are set at the junior high school at 7 p.m. next Tuesday night will all of the town’s ghosts and goblins

expected to be present. The event is sponsored annually by the Lions, Legion and Legion Auxiliary for the youngsters of the community. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the parade set to start at 7 p.m. promptly. All community residents are invited to attend the event. HUMOR FROM 40 years ago: A young South Bend girl who was holidaying in the country became rather friendly with a young farmer. One evening as they were strolling in the fields, they happened across a cow and calf rubbing noses in the accepted bovine fashion. “Ah,” said the young farmer, “that sight makes me want to do the same.” “Well, go ahead,” said the girl encouragingly, “it’s your cow.” IT’S A SMALL WORLD! When Gloria and Ron Baumgartner • were in Acapulco recently Ron ran into Garrett Fagan on the elevator in the Princess hotel. Garrett Fagan is a former resident of Milford who now lives in California. He was on a golfing tour in Mexico. The Baumgartners were with the Hoosier State Press Association tour. WHAT’S NEXT? Mrs. Emma Clayton Krauter of Our Town reported she found a 6% inch yellow sponge mushroom in her back yard on Monday. “It must be all this rain,” she commented. CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING in Our Town again this year as Della B. spearheads the drive for gifts for the men and women at the state mental hospital and school in Fort Wayne. Again this year she has a list of names and the gifts these people want for their Christmas gifts for those of our community who would rather buy for individuals than contribute miscellaneous gifts. Interested persons should stop at The M-J office for their name or information on other gifts for those who might not otherwise receive anything for Christmas this year. THINGS AREN’T so bad, they could be worse! This refers to the recent T-Ping seen in Our Town. It’s a little messy and not all can agree as to whether it should be allowed or not, but at least a few people in Our Town think we should be glad the kids express themselves in this way rather than doing something really bad. This remark will probably bring about T-Ping but just ask any small fry what he thinks about it and the majority will become excited about viewing the results while the older kids are having a great time doing “their thing.” Soooooo remember it isn’t so bad that it couldn’t be worse. FREDONNA CUSTER of Milford, candidate for county treasurer, was informed all the political advertisements at the court house had not been taken down to comply with election laws before the absentee voters cast their ballots. Mrs. Custer went to Warsaw and while checking the court house asked if all political advertisements had been removed. She found the candidate card of her opponent Kathryn Teel was

still up in the treasurer’s office. Being a good Samaritan she took it down and handed it to the workers in the office. Like Fredonna says, maybe it is time for a change ... 40 years is too long! WE KNOW that today’s youth is fitll of vim and vigor but were surprised to find that this included “soggy” hayrides. The Bethel youth group had a hayride scheduled for Saturday night and as you may remember it was a very “off and on” type rainy day. They decided to go on the.ride anyway, after all, they sit out in the rain for football games, don’t they? We also know some Milford people who camped out this week end, or at least they slept in a camper. The rain took care of the enjoyment of a campfire and the other outside events that go with camping. MIDDLE AGE is that period in life when you are old enough to know better, but young enough to keep on doing it. — The Somerset (Mass.) Spectator. AS WE understand it, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Willson have rented their property east of town and are moving a week from Saturday to South Dakota. MR. AND MRS. Harvey Cole of Chicago have purchased the John Martin home near Our Town and will be moving here next spring. The Martins are building a new home just down the road. It will be ready for them in the spring with both couples making their move at that time. MARION DEETER will be back on the job for the next couple of weeks. He will be serving as street and water department superintendent while John Martin enjoys a two-week vacation. HERE IS ANOTHER ONE that we could get along without. It’s another Halloween prank . . . seems like cars are being stuffed full of paper. Wonder who would have access to that much paper? THE HAPPENINGS at the Catherine street crossing in Milford keep going on. It is so rough now that cars loose mufflers, tailpipes, etc., at the crossing. It is not unusual to see someone stop to retrieve part of their car and then continue his journey. Last week a! Graff had to return to the scene and hunt a tailpipe. It’s easy to decide where you can lose car parts with the crossings all through the area in such dangerous shape. Wonder how many car parts should be charged to the neglect of these crossings during the reconstruction. Here’s hoping it doesn’t turn out to be lives also. SPEAKING OF Al Graff, it’s just not his week. Would you believe someone stole the dinner bell he had decorating his property south of town . . . the person or persons unknown actually sawed the post off and took bell, post and all. Another dirty Halloween prank we have heard about is the throwing of eggs . . . That’s totally uncalled for and we hope these pranks will be discontinued

immediately. TRUCKS, TRUCKS, trucks parking in the intersection of Emeline street! It’s not enough that semi-trucks park on Emeline and the stop light can’t be seen from the west, now pick-ups park <mi the west side of Main street in a horizontal position for an hour and a half in a no parking zone partly covering the intersection. Isn’t there some way the parking can be checked in town? Fall Color Change Underway LAFAYETTE — Bright warm days and cool brisk nights signal fall is with us again. But to Hoosiers, fall also means the opening of a gorgeous color panorama. Mother Nature uses the weather, changing temperatures, shortened fall days and pigments found inside leaves to bring about the colorful Hoosier landscapes. Even though scientists have unraveled the mystery of the complex changes occurring in the leaves, it’s still exciting to watch Indiana trees change from luscious green to brilliant reds, oranges and purples.) Changes in leaf coloring are the result of chemical processes within the leaf, explains John A. Wott, Purdue university extension home environment horticulturist. The familiar green is the result of numerous food or sugarmaking cells containing the pigment chlorophyll. During the spring and summer, the chlorophyll is constantly breaking down and just as constantly being replaced. When we look at a tree, we never surmise that these processes are taking place, says Wott. However, when daylight hours become shorter in September, the old chlorophyll is gradually depleted from the leaf and the other color pigments become visible. . Our fall weather pattern affects the coloration, the horticulturist notes. Cool, but not freezing, nights coupled with warm days favor the bright scarlets, purples, and lavenders. If freezing temperatures occur, the leaf cells are killed and no further colors are formed. The yellow or orange carotenoids, like those found in carrots, produce the yellow leaf colors. These pigments are present all summer, but are masked by the green chlorophyll molecules. As the weather changes in the fall, sugar production continues in the leaves. The cool nights help to keep the sugar there. Some of the sugars are used to form the red pigment, authocyanin. The individual characteristics of the tree, the amount of direct exposure to sunlight, and the. amount of moisture also affect the degree of coloration. So treat yourself to a fall color show that is unique to the eastern United States. You’ll be delighted with it. Vehicles Collide Friday Evening County officers investigated a two vehicle collision Friday evening on SR 15 near the county farm road, Warsaw, with an estimated damage of $275 to the vehicles. The southbound autos were driven by Irving E. Green, 31,237 North Lake street, Syracuse, and Andrew J. Bradway, 16, r 2 Warsaw.
