ANOTHER ITEM of interest from Taets is a statement mailed from The Milford Mail to the Warsaw Tank Heater Co., on February 28, 1894. The cost of the postage stamp:

All Senior Citizens are welcome to attend the meetings. If you are of age and looking for something to do, why not join them. WHO WAS the local girl who received her diamond in a cracker-jack box? Ask Nancy Kesler about this! WE HEAR that our local rural carriers really guarded the homemade goodies they received from their patrons. When Bud Felkner (r 2) came home one day during the Christmas holidays and found daughter Joan had something in her mouth he asked if it was part of his candy. She replied it was cake but he wasn’t too sure so he took count of the pieces in his box of candy and sure enough all were accounted for and still uneaten. We can’t seem to make up our mind if this is helping Joan watch her diet or if he was protecting

his own rights. Anyway, the Felkners need to watch it. Bud keeps count! DID YOU drive much over the recent holidays? This reporter did and noticed the extreme differences between the drivers on the road. On one occasion we were forced to follow a line of trucks and cars (nine in all) at a 20 mile an hour pace for three miles. A few people tried to hurry and pass the line but were forced back by oncoming traffic and were assisted safely back into their place. When you are traveling some distance in a line at this speed you have time to wonder what the big hold up is ahead. This one turned out to be a slow moving tractor which never bothered to take to the berm to let people pass even though there were ample places where this could have been done. We might add that there was no slow moving vehicle triangle on the tractor either. Why not show consideration of others for safety’s sake? In another instance three big semis, all at one time tried to pass two cars which were traveling on partly icy highways at about 55 miles per hour. The first one made it around both cars without incident. The second one would have hit one of the cars except that the car’s driver took to the berm to miss when he saw oncoming traffic. The third semi had to take to the berm on the other side. This could have been a real smash-up but for the foresight of the driver in the car. On icy roads can’t we be just a little more patient fellows? Now for a good sign, while driving in the fog one evening about 6 p.m. a semi flashed his lights as if it were okay to pass. Since this driver had no thought of passing in the fog he just stayed back. A little later on a long straight stretch where one could see a little better the semi gave the signal to pass again and when we decided to try to go around he pulled far over to the right to give us all the roadway. We thanked him with a toot of the horn as we went around. It was nicer to be ahead of the truck and not get all of the road dirt on the windshield. It was even nicer to realize that the truck driver understood and helped us pass. We call that true courtesy.. Have you looked at your driving habits lately? Are you considerate of others or . . . AUGSBURGER’S are beginning central accounting for their three food palaces with their offices to be located in Milford. This system, like many others, went into effect January 1. SPEAKING ABOUT Augsburger’s, did you know they are currently planning a 4,000 square foot expansion at their Syracuse store? According to John B. Augsburger, the store will have an in-store bakery, twice the

frozen food space it currently has, an expanded deli-line, a new dairy cooler and four new counters. ’Die store’s addition is expected to be completed in late spring. THE LEVI BEERS left this morning from Indianapolis for Miami, Fla., and Brazil, South America. They will be visiting their daughter Jenny and Mrs. Beer’s sister Josephine who are working in an orphanage in Brazil. The Beers expect to return home on the 18th of January. NEW RESIDENTS of Our Town are Mr. and Mrs. John W. Teeple. John and Sarah (Nearing) were married Friday night in the Saint Andrew’s United Methodist church at Syracuse. They have purchased the home of Mrs. Alta Evans on the Milford-Syracuse road. Dan Riecke heads 4-H junior leaders Dan Riecke was recently installed as president of the Noble county 4-H junior leaders at a meeting held at the county court house. Past president Bob Rhae was in charge of the meeting with songs led by Mary Riecke and Deb Barker offering devotions. Jane Bueker and Chris Ott were awarded 4-H jackets and a number of completions pins were handed out. The new president presented an outline of the coming year before installation of the new officers.
