|1 The Column 9 A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

ANYONE KNOW the year? This photo of one of Milford’s third grade classes taught by Miss Martha Grove is another in the collection loaned to us by the Lawrence Homans. e Not only are we missing the year, we have failed to come up with identification on anyone except Miss Groves whb is at the back of her class. PET PEEVE of the week: Have you ever been invited to or instructed to attend a meeting and when you got there it was obvious that those in charge were not ready — the building is locked, members arrive late, chairs not arranged, heat not turned on, etc. The only thing worse is most of the men watching while the women present do the work of moving tables and chairs. No women’s lib sighs were to be seen so this couldn’t be the reason. This is especially bad when there are guests present. Whatever happened to good old planning and punctuality anyway? GLORIA (MRS. RON) BAUMGARTNER was among the recent recipients of a birthday card from the “gang” at Augsburger’s. We have noted during the past birthdays from the calendar and some others are remembered in this fashion. It is a pleasant surprise. Keep up the good work gang. HERE’S ONE that will get you — Cliff (“Bean”) Replogle told us one day last week that he had wanted to join the submarine corps in World War II but they

refused to accept him when he said he always slept with the window open. Isn’t that a real groaner! MRS. FRED .(DOROTHY) JOHNSON called us at Milford one day last week to tell AEB how well she liked having the Lakeland Office Supply store in Syracuse. We thanked her for the praise. The office supply is run by Ron and Gloria B. with Mrs. Charles (Nancy) Searfoss as chief mate. She is a real good gal to help you in any situation as all her coworkers know. WASN’T THE SNOW beautiful the end of last week as it softly tipped the branches of the trees and clung to the bushes? It almost made the winter-like weather and slick roads worthwhile, but not quite. Spring comes one month from today and we may as well have cold weather now and be for the thaw when it arrives. BLAKE BAUMGARTNER, formerly of Milford, now of Fort Wayne, was in town on Sunday afternoon. CHRISTIAN church minister Eldon Wilson, his wife and family are expected in Milford sometime next week. Their furniture should be at the church’s parsonage sometime this week. Pastor Wilson’s first sermon will be on Sunday, March 4. MILFORD, according to one area resident, is the type of town where you can get a wrong

number on the telephone and still talk for 10 minutes. Another gentleman from our town always explains that Milford is about half way between Goshen and Warsaw. He is always surprised when about half the people he’s talking to say, “Oh, I know where Milford is at.. that’s near Camp Mack.” JIM BAKER, Kosciusko area planning director, questioned TheM-J reporter who quoted him after a recent MAD meeting in Milford. The question concerned the jurisdiction of the Syracuse plan commission and how far its authority extended. Our reporter told him that since he did not seem to have the information we would try to clarify it this week and put it in this column. It seems Van Buren township residents who own property in the north-east corner are in the same watershed area as Turkey Creek township. This land is zoned by the commission with authority given it by the state of Indiana in 1958-59. A map appears to the right of this column. Mr. Baker was afraid Van Buren township residents would get the idea that they were not governed in any way when he found that some of Van Buren township is in the Lake Wawasee watershed area. When Maurice Beer, local trustee was asked he did not know for sure where we could get the complete information either but told us where to try next. Thanks Maurice! Guest speaker at John Birch society Christian patriot Tolman Udell Meyers will be guest speaker at the annual section program of the John Birch society in the Pierceton community building on Saturday, Feb. 24. An outstanding speaker, he tells of his Viet Nam experiences in combat and then returning to Viet Nam to spread the word of God. There will be a pot luck dinner at 6:30 p.m. followed by his program at 8 o’clock. Both the dinner and program are open to the public free of charge. Minor damage when cars collide set at $75 Saturday at a mishap that occurred at the intersection of state road 15 and county road 600 N, one mile south of Leesburg. The accident occurred at 3:50 p.m. with autos driven by Donald Miller, 19, r 1 Leesburg, and Mary Ann Bules, 31, Etna Green, involved. No injuries were reported.

Jurisdictional Map .. . Shown above is the jurisdictional map for Syracuse area zoning as prepared originally in 1958 and amended in 1964. The map above is from 1964. Questions concerning the area outside of Turkey Creek township, controlled by the Syracuse planning commission, have risen since area planning is being considered in Kosciusko county. The Syracuse plan commission’s authority was given to it by the state of Indiana’s controlled conservation act and the legal notices concerning the boundary were published in the local paper in April of 1959.

JACK ANDERSON’S 1 WEEKLY SPECIAL Probers’ Target: Haldeman by Jack Anderson (Copyright. 1971 by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

WASHINGTON - The top target in the Senate investigation of the Watergate scandal will be President Nixon’s chief of staff, Bob Haldeman. Senate sleuths, we have learned, have tracked Watergate clues to the bright young men around Haldeman. There is solid evidence that at least two of Haldeman’s proteges, Dwight Chapin and Gordon Strachan, knew of the Watergate operation. The investigators will be able to show that Haldeman and Chapin were particularly close. On his way to the White House in the mornings, Haldeman used to route his limousine past Chapin’s house and pick him up. Chapin has admitted to the FBI that he ordered payments made for espionage and sabotage against Democratic presidential candidates during 1971 and

1972. White House insiders say that Chapin took his orders from Haldeman and could never have issued these instructions on his own. Gordon Strachan also operated under the direct supervision of Haldeman. Senate investigators will be able to establish that Strachan was in direct touch with G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt, Jr., who directed the espionage operation against the Democrats. Both Liddy and Hunt were convicted at the Watergate trial. White House press spokesman Ronald Ziegler has denied that Haldeman knew anything about the Watergate intelligence-gathering activities. But Ziegler, too, works directly under Haldeman’s control. And the tight little circle around Haldeman seems determined to protect him at all costs. The slightest suggestion that Haldeman had any knowledge of the Watergate affair brings howls of indignation. But at least one witness has told investigators that Haldeman himself issued the orders to organize the Republican espionage and sabotage operation. Haldeman is the most powerful man in the White House, secdnd only to the President. The Democrats in the Senate would dearly like to entangle him in the Watergate scandal. Food for Profit The vending machine companies pulled a sleeper last year that will, increase their profits at the expense of children’s eating habits. Their lobbyists slipped a clause in the federal school lunch program, which will

This area includes the entire Lake Wawasee (Turkey Creek watershed. It covers all of Turkey Creek township and goes into Van Buren township west to the Dewart Lake road and south to a point near Bowser road, then back east into Turkey Creek township. The boundry has not been changed since the original authority was given by the state but some of the land has been re-zoned. The commission’s authority goes north to the Elkhart county line.

permit vending machines to be installed in schools. This means candy bars, potato chips and soda pop will be available to children with pocket change while school lunches are being served. From a federal standpoint, the Agriculture Department merely has to wave the checkered flag and the machines will be rolled into the cafeterias to lure youngsters away from more nutritious food. The venders, in a hurry to collect their new profits, are rushing efforts to install their machines in the cafeterias. Local soft drink bottlers in many states, for example, are writing governors advising them of the new law. A typical letter from Coca Cola advises the governor of New Mexico that President Nixon has signed the vending machine bill and that it will mean a boon to the state’s economy. What the soft-drink people don’t say, of course, is that the money will come from the pockets of children who might otherwise drink milk rather than soda pop at lunch. The competition from vending machines will also leave children with less money to spend on more wholesome cafeteria food. This could cause a serious setback for the federallysupported food service programs. These programs have trouble breaking even as it is. Alarmed school officials, therefore, intend to raise a howl on Capitol Hill to get the law reversed. They will charge that Congress defaulted in its responsibility to encourage nutrition among school children. Even without the new lure of soda pop and candy bars in the . cafeterias, one official told me, our schools are failing miserably to teach youngsters to eat the right foods. Methadone Scandal Medical officials have clamped the lid on a major methadone scandal in New York City. The scandal could discredit the nation’s only widely accepted method of treating heroin addicts. New York City, home of over half the heroin addicts in the nation, now treats 30,000 addicts in methadone programs. Methadone deaths have risen so meteorically during the past year that Gordon Chase, the city commissioner in charge of health services, has sought to quiet the criticism. Competent sources tell me that Chase has ordered the city medical examiner’s

Wed., Feb. 21, 1973 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

office to list the methadone deaths as “drug related” or “cause unknown” in an attempt to hide the methadone accidents. These sources say that 500 addicts died of methadone overdose last year. On at least one occasion, a young Puerto Rican was administered a fatal overdose by a physician in a New York hospital. Many of the licensed methadone clinics are run for profit, sometimes by persons with no experience in the medical profession. A restaurateur and a building contractor, for example, operate methadone clinics. At some methadone centers, doctors dish out the drug like short-order cooks, overprescribing methadone if the patients have the money to pay. Clinics closed for the weekends permit patients to take home extra dosages to last until Monday. Frequently, the patients resell the methadone to untreated addicts. Many heroin addicts supplement their “high” with other drugs. Experts consider methadone particularly dangerous when mixed with other drugs. A spokesman for New York City’s health services justified the practice of not mentioning methadone in all deaths that involve methadone. He explained that other drugs are also involved, so the examiners can’t be sure that methadone caused the deaths. The spokesman acknowledged, however, that the methadone program in New York City is “looser than we would like.” One arrest at Milford Milford police officers made one arrest over the February 10 week end. Harrison Wilson, 53, Milford, was arrested for public intoxication. He appeared before justice of the peace Milo Clase and paid a fine of $25.
