BOLA’S LIQUORS, INC., has filed a second petition with the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a permit to operate a package store on state road 15 in Milford. A petition had been filed earlier and then withdrawn after several Milford residents appeared at the hearing. The hearing for the current petition will be held at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, March 6, in the clerk’s office at the court house in Warsaw. _ JL WE HOPE THE town board remembers the problem with the automatic traffic light at Emeline and Main when it meets February 12. Several persons have stopped at The M-J office here in Milford to complain after they have been caught by the sudden change of the light. It goes from green to red with no yellow light. Persons having near accidents here feel repair of the light is just as important as repairing the railroad tracks. We have been told all the town board is considering changes in the light and of the fact the old light which is presently in use can not be repaired. In the meantime we all need to watch this corner carefully. DUANE (“SKIP”) GRAFF, a former Milford resident who now resides in Kentucky, was taken back Sunday when he got up in front of the congregation at the Milford Christian church to sing a solo and notes from “My Old Kentucky Home” came from the piano. Skip recovered quickly from his surprise and presented a most inspiring musical‘number to the congregation. ’ GOOD NEWS — We finally found a tax break! Did you know the federal excise tax levy on monthly telephone bills is being reduced! Under the provisions of the excise, estate and gift tax adjustment act of 1970, the effective rate is to be reduced from 10 per cent to nine per cent this year and by one per cent each year thereafter until January 1, 1982 when it will be eliminated. IT IS AMAZING to note how many people knew the late William (“Bunk”) Ponko only by his nickname. “Bunk” lived in the home of. Bob and Julia Reed for 33 years and was well known in the community. He played baseball and was an avid fan when the local ball park was used almost nightly for either industrial or high school baseball.

Many times Bob would bring him into Milford and he would “hoof” it down to the ball park if he found there was a game. “Bunk” was also known to walk the four miles from the Reed home south of Milford into town. Another thing he was noted for was the ability to howl like a hound dog. Just last summer (he was 84) Don Brumbaugh asked him to make the sound for his wife Judy while they were at the Reed home. Bunk complied with the famous howl and we defy anyone to out do him in that respect. Because he was interested in ball games and could make the sound of the howling dog, he was much loved by the children with whom he came into contact. He was always willing to entertain them. WE HAVE one solution to the “creeping and climbing” slip problem. One lady from our community says simply wear your slip inside out. Sounds simple enough doesn’t it! DID YOU happen to be uptown Saturday night when the American Legion celebrated the signing of the peace treaty? They had a parade with police car, fire trucks, numerous rounds of rifle fire and a countless number of cars. IT IS our understanding that Mrs. Homer Hampton of our town received a most unusual birthday present for her Sunday, Jan. 28, birthday. It seems her husband bought her a car but she doesn’t drive! SPEAKING OF birthdays, Mrs. Vernon May of our town had a house full of company for her Sunday birthday. Some 35 to 40 persons stopped at the May home to wish her a happy day. Guests included the “Realties” a band that her son Donn plays with. The band was practicing at the May home Sunday night and stopped at the house to sing “Happy Birthday.” Cake, ice cream, salads and sandwiches were served to the guests. Games were played. Mrs. May, her husband Vernon, sons Ronn and Donn and Mr. and Mrs. John Lippley and Shelly of Nappanee enjoyed Sunday dinner at a Goshen restaurant. Mrs. Francis Korenstra of Milford and Mrs. Dale Allen and daughter Karen of Syracuse went to Anderson Monday to visit Roger Korenstra at Anderson college.

Mrs. Warner resides on the South Shore of Lake Wawasee (Vawter Park) where she and her family were among the “pioneers” in year around living at the lake. They came to the Lakeland area in 1943 and, of course, each year since that time more and more families take advantage'of the area on a year around basis. Mrs. Warner has been associated with the real estate business for the past 12 years. She will serve as a sales representative for Todd Realty. Todd Realty is located on the east side of Lake Wawasee.
