II The Column jg A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

THERE IS something about this time of the year, when Christmas comes, that makes it easy to think of others. Our thoughts are naturally turned toward good will and good cheer. We remember that “it is more blessed to give than to receive," and we find happiness in making others happy. It is the natural thing to do at Christmas. But how will you feel next July? Will you still have some of that holiday spirit when it’s summer instead of winter, and Christmas is six months away? Will you be as thoughtful of others when the weather is hot? Actually, the mere season of the year shouldn’t make any difference. So let us resolve right now not to let the Christmas spirit die on the 26th of December. Let us carry it right on through the spring, summer and fall and have it still with us when the holidays come again next year. WE FOUND this item in a 40 year old issue of The Milford Mail and thought it worth passing along to our readers: “Your wife is an excellent cook.’’ “What makesyou say that, you

have never had a meal in our house in your life?” "That’s right, but the other day I overheard her roasting you to a turn.” MILFORD’S CAPABLE and compassionate Dr. Floyd Rheinheimer suggested we make note under a “News that’s fit to print” headline of the care given the late Edna Fuller by Dick and Betty Smith, Leon and Bonnie Newman, Mrs. Freda Ruch and Mrs. Marion Deeter. He said, “They took care of Mrs. Fuller just like she was their mother.” NOW COMES a letter signed aggravated. It reads as follows: “What kind of a town do we have? Isn’t it getting a little ridiculous? We expect our street and water commissioner to keep our streets clear of ice and snow; but has anyone seen how he has been doing it? He has to use his bare hands and work like you would feed the chickens! “Shouldn’t the town board get busy and get a dump truck so that Mr. Martin can do his job right? It is impossible to salt all of the

streets when you have to do it by hand. “I’m sure it isn’t a very warm job either. “Do we have to wait for another year to have decent streets to drive on? How about it Milford? “Sign me, aggravated.” POOR IRENE (Mrs. Wayne) Bucher can’t seem to get rid of her woodpeckers no matter how hard she tries. ' Not only are they still pecking away at her new home but they have showed up at the Milford post office where she is employed. Guess bow they marked the ladies rest room? With a woodpecker, what else! Speaking of woodpeckers the Jack Sharps had the busy birds at their new home on Waubee Lake until Irene’s hubby Wayne took two dead woodpeckers from their Dewart Lake home over to Sharps’. The results: No more woodpeckers at Sharps’ but the Buchers still have their unwanted pets! HERE’S ANOTHER question on the problems caused by the weather: “Could the sidewalks in town be cleaned off just a little better? Leaving an inch of ice and snow on them is as dangerous, or maybe more so, than if they weren’t cleaned at all.” IT SEEMS the Main office of the First National Bank did not hear the voice of the precincts as the Milford branch remains a step-child with no outside decorations. And, the residents of the town have followed the bank’s lead with few decorations appearing outside anywhere in Milford. We have a good idea! Why doesn’t MAD or someone sponsor a Christmas decorating contest? The Merle Campbells, Sr., Dan Levemiers, Don Arnolds and Christian church seem to be the leaders in the outdoor decorating field this year. What happened to the Christmas spirit around here? SEEMS LIKE the town of Milford isn’t the only one being called to task over the road conditions. Just about everyone is complaining about the road conditions the past several days. It’s really surprising, with the slick roads we have had lately, that no one has gone into the water-filled ditches on both sides

of the road west of town along county road 1256 N. There are no guard rails or anything to break a skid towards the water. It would make driving between these water holes a lot less nerve racking if something could be done about this. Another note carried the following question: “Can’t something be done about the Kosciusko county highway department? It doesn’t seem like they are doing their part in keeping our roads clean.” REMEMBER . . . when Mom would make candy and jello and set the dish outside in the snow so it would cool and set faster? The holiday season always seems to make one stop and remember a lot of little things that meant a lot to them as they were growing up or raising their own children. MOTHER SAYING to small daughter, “Go to your room and don’t come out until it is straightened up!” Reply from daughter, “OK, I made you two Christmas presents in school but you talked yourself right out of them!” ON THAT last note we’ll close and wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . . . wonder if the mother above will have a forgiving daughter and receive her Christmas gifts anyway. collide Saturday A car driven by James K. Hyden, 20, r 1 Leesburg, and an ambulance belonging to the McHatton-Sadler funeral home driven by Wendell Sadler, 38, 929 East Center St., Warsaw, collided Saturday. The mishap occurred at 12:40 p.m. on East Winona Ave., Warsaw, about 150 feet west of South Reed St. Both vehicles were eastbound on Winona Ave. at the time of the crash. Damage was estimated at $250 to the Hyden auto and $350 to the ambulance.

Just like the weather By MRS. ANN HANCOOK Area Extension Agent Just like the weather, everyone complains about consumer problems, but few people know what to do about them. According to the Better Business Bureau there are basically two types of consumer complaints — careless buying and lack of communication. careiess buying is usually the result of trying to get something for nothing. Perhaps you were talked into the product by a smooth talking salesman and when the product fails you cannot reach the company. It you find that the company actually does not exist, the best service you can perform is to publicize your problem to inform others. Often times the lure of a bargain causes us to forget our good buying practices. A consumer complaint on a marked down item usually does not get much attention. The second type of consumer complaint is equally frustrating. Communication problems can be the result of computer foul up, human error or merely inadequate communication between the salesman and the purchaser. Most companies have a consumer complaint office to handle these types of problems. When stating a complaint it is best to do so in a letter. Include all information — where you purchased the product, model number, cost, etc. Describe the problem concisely without losing your temper. It is best to type the letter and make a carbon copy for your files. The job of the consumer becomes more complicated every day. Last year a program was begun through the cooperative extension service entitled “Consumer Alert”. A mailing list of interested individuals was compiled. Each month interesting “Consumer

Hook Drugs is / coming to Syracuse

The Hook Drug Store chain, the fastest growing retail drug outlet in the state of Indiana, has announced plans to open a new store at the south edge of Syracuse. The announcement came from Robert Huffman, vice president of Hamstra Builders, Inc., of Wheatfield, Indiana, and from Harlan Steffen of Todd Realty, Inc.. Lake Wawasee.

Facts” bulletins were mailed free of charge. If you would like to be included in the 1973 “Consumer Alert” mailings send your name and address to the county extension office, court house, Warsaw. Nashville House Fried Biscuits 1 quart milk ¥4 cup sugar 2 and two thirds pkg. dry yeast or one-sixth cup yeast M cup lard or shortening 6 tsp. salt 7 to 9 cups flour Add yeast to warm water. Add other ingredients and let dough rise. Make into biscuits and drop into hot fat 355 degrees. This recipe will make about seven dozen biscuits. They can be frozen individually and stored in plastic bags. When you work them up don’t let the biscuits rise too high. The fat should be slightly hotter than 350 degrees F. If fat should be too hot the biscuits will be soggy in the center. ADJUST DRIVING SPEED Always adjust your driving speed to prevailing weather and road conditions, cautions the Chicago Motor Club-AAA.

The Wheatfield building contractor has constructed a number of Hook stores in the past. Accoring to Mr. Steffen the site for the new store is on the Pickwick Road, on a tract of land consisting of 135 foot of frontage and the depth runs back to the Augsburger Food Palace. The land is located just east of the Burger Dairy Store

County recorder re-elected to state committee The Association of Indiana Counties, Inc., held its 14th annual state conference recently in Indianapolis with Kosciusko county recorder E. Mazie Alexander being re-elected to the position of chairman of legislation for the state recorder’s association. She was also appointed to the office of corresponding secretary. Mrs. Alexander attended the conference on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

r Mr. Hoffman said construction would begin in April or May, and that the building would be 60 by 125 feet (7,500 square feet), with a trick front. He said it would be similar in appearance to other Hook Drug Stores throughout the state. He added that it would take approximately three months to complete.

township business for 1973. The conference was opened Tuesday by president Tom Broderick, assessor from Anderson.
