About 85 were in attendance for Sunday School services at the Christian church with the number increasing to 100 for morning worship services and another 100 attending evening services. Many townspeople who could not reach their own church attended services at the Christian church. Rev. Duane Beals, pastor of the

Bethel chdrch, tried to make it to Milford from his South Bend home but was stopped in Bremen and told he could go no further. THE ROBERT VANLANINGHAMS have a story to tell about the Recent snow storm that makes one thankful they were around to help. It seems Mrs. V. (Esther) looked out and saw a young boy standing in front of their house in the storm on Saturday. The youngster, about seven, tried to tell the Vanlaninghams about his mother and brothers so a search was begun with no one being found. Parker Phend arrived at the Vanlaningham home and joined the search. At long last the youngster’s mother and two young brothers were found across the road huddled under the tanks at the fertilizer plant for protection. Hie youngest of the boys, about four, was nearly frozen from exposure to the snow and blowing wind. The family was taken into the Vanlaningham home to wait out the storm, h — o — IN MILFORD junior high principal’? remarks before the Lions club Monday night, prin-cipal-referee Marion Acton said jokingly he is like Rev. Ralph Karstedt, who was present, in that he was prejudiced toward his profession. Not one to miss the chance for a pun, Rev. Karstedt said there is more than this one similarity between him and certain referees. Rev. Karstedt is blind. A COUNTY highway employee

was nice enough to give us an answer to why the state highway trucks may have lifted their plows when they came to the snow in Milford last week. State trucks do this when they approach icy spots due to the fact they would bend their blades if they hit them with the blades down. The state trucks have only a single blade that is tilted to the right side. County trucks have a V plow and when they hit the icy spots the V breaks the ice. For some reason or another a state truck is not allowed to use these plows therefore they use the single blade. A MAN with holes in his socks is usually married to a woman who doesn’t give a darn. JACK STUMP of the sales staff of C. S. Myers Ford will be among those honored for outstanding sales performance during 1972 at the Ford Motor Company’s 300500 club banquet this month. The average 300-500 club member sold nearly $750,000 worth of automotive merchandise in 1972 to qualify for the national honor. The club was founded in 1950 to recognize the performance of outstanding ford salesmen throughout the country. DREAM ON Arlene! HAVE YOU HEARD that deputy sheriff Roger Fellows was looking all over the north side of Waubee Lake for Ida Troup? It’s true! Evidently he didn’t know Dean and Ida live in their new home, two miles further east and ¥4 mile north of the lake road. By the way, Ida was subpoenaed to serve on the pettit jury, she is not the criminal. MONDAY’S accidental answering of the burglar alarm at Chore-Time Equipment north of town proved one thing — the police can move fast in an emergency. The only thing wrong was the alarm was sounded by telephone men who were working on the wires. Someone somewhere forgot to tell afternoon crews that the wires were being worked on and the first time the alarm went off after lunch all available squad cars including state police and Milford town marshal Don Drake rushed to the factory. SANDY FULLER has been keeping an eye out for the mole that has been doing the digging around The M-J office. Tuesday morning while passing the office Sandy spotted the moie making its way under the ground ... no more mole thanks to Sandy.

MAD lays plans for Memorial Day activities

The Milford Area Development Council and representatives of other community organizations met last night at the Milford fire station to firm up plans for annual community activities, to be held on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28. The day’s activities will be organized by a committee consisting of Paul Kizer, John B. Augsburger, co-chairman, Steve Weisser, C. J. Myers, the MAD public relations committee and members of the Milford volunteer fire department. Chicken Barbecue A highlight will be a chicken barbecue held on the junior high school grounds, beginning at 11:30 a.m. Other activities will include a cutie contest for youngsters ages 4 to 6 where a Cutie King and Cutie Queen will be selected, a volleyball contest among church teams, bicycle races in several categories and a greased pig contest. Awards to winners in the several activities will be held at 3:30 p.m., it was decided. Spokesmen for the committees besides Paul Kizer and John Augsburger included Mary Duncan and Gloria Baumgartner for the cutie contest, and Ted Speicher and Ron Baumgartner for the bicycle races. Richard Stoller of Dewart Lake, new in the community, said he would work with a 4-H group and others in setting up tables and clean up. Fire chief Harold Kaiser said he could “promise” at least six firemen to help with the chicken barbecue and Oscar Pena said certainly he could volunteer several from the MexicanAmerican Association to do whatever work is required to help make the day a success.

Committee heads are to meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 11, to finalize plans. Projects A discussion of what MAD would do with an anticipated SSOO in revenue from the day’s activities led to a variety of purposes. Fire chief Kaiser said his department “always needs something.” Last year MAD gave in cash over $750 to the fire department for its new radio system. Kaiser said the department raised over $60,000 since 1954, and that they still owe $450 on their radio system. They have already spent over $6,500 on radios. He said an oxygen resuscitator is needed and a stand-by generator. said the park board needs money for piers and other equipment. He said that because of the pending law suit involving the park donations have dried up. Paul Kizer commented that there are at least 160 sets of house numbers to be picked up at the Milford post office. He said a number of residents have picked up the house numbers but have not put them up yet. To Start Construction Al Miller, Milford town board president, spoke briefly, commenting that the town had good news in its fight to bring better sewer and disposal facilities to the community. The town let the bid for the lagoon system (see page 1 article in this issue), and that construction should begin about April 18, with a 365-day completion period. Miller said the new system should be completed in June 1974. Miller also said the town board is watching the present legislature closely to see what funds they might make available

for communities the size of Milford. He also spoke about the needs in the water department in the near future. Rev. Ralph Karstedt was taken off the planning, zoning and

1973 crop production to climb here

Market demand, good prices, and more freedom in farm programs will likely result in expanded crop acreage in Kosciusko county for 1973, reports Lucile K. Weaver executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) county office. An important indication is the sign-up for the feed grain and wheat programs, which ended March 16. A total of 1665 county farms were signed up in one or more of the programs, and many local producers indicated they will have more acres in crops than they did in 1972. Some 260 feed grain producers in the county chose the zero setaside plan, compared with 1369 who signed up for a set-aside acreage equal to 25 per cent of their feed grain base. “In all, it looks as if an extimated 23,000 acres in the county are going into set-aside this year,

compared with 36,000 acres last year,” the ASCS official said. “Therefore, more acreage will be available for crops, corn and soybeans.” Some set-aside land will be grazed or cut for hay, silage or greenchop. This use of set-aside land is being allowed for the first time this year, provided the producer accepts a payment reduction.
