tire being removed from the' middle of the road by a woman as a number of “gentlemen” drove past in their cars and watched. I ■ The tire did not belong to the woman, she was being agood citizen and removing it from the road befae it caused a serious accident.

We know these are the days of “Women’s Lib” but isn’t this a bit much? SPIED: A state owned car down by the railroad crossing at Catherine street one day last week. Could its occupant have been checking on traffic across the crossing? MICHAEL RADCLIFF, son of Rev. and Mrs. Jerald Radcliff of Milford, is a member of the Ashland college choir that is presenting 16 concerts during its spring tour in Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, the District of Columbia and Florida. The tour begins tomorrow and will continue thru the 15th. Although the choir includes a wide range of both sacred and light concert fare in its repertoire, it emphasizes the finest sacred music from ail style periods in all its programs. A SPECIAL Milford welcome goes to the aunt of Mrs. Bill Little who is in America for a six-month visit. She is from Germany and is a senior citizen from that country who has not been to America since she was a teenager. A PLACE NOT to go on the last day of the month is the license branch in Syracuse. It seems everyone, but everyone, waits until the very last day to purchase license plates and have driver’s license renewed. WHAT’S NEXT — Seems two Milford ladies have taken up dancing at the beauty shop. They

thought this the best way to change places when going from one chair to the other on a busy Saturday morning. WHEN PAM KAISER arrived at work at The M-J Monday morning, her complexion matched her little orange Nova. Reason: She had still not recovered from the shock of being stopped in uptown Goshen for running a stop light. The handsome officer, obviously taken by Pam’s youthful charm, smiling gave her a warning with the admonishing to “be careful.” BE PATIENT the town board is working on the problem of the condition of Main street. Contracts were let last fall for resurfacing the street, however, the weather did not allow time for Phend and Brown to complete the job before winter. Now the town is considering whether or not to have the rails which are under the streets taken out before the resurfacing is done. At any rate an answer to the problem should be forthcoming at the town board meeting on Monday night. THE BIRDS tell us that it’s spring, however, the chill in the air makes it hard to believe. DID YOU hear about the area resident who called a florist and asked fa* a bouquet of blue flowers be delivered to a friend? Well, a beautiful bouquet of pink carnations was delivered. What’s wrong with pink carnations you ask? Nothing except the woman who received them had just given birth to her fourth son. A little mistake by the florist and a lot of embarrassment to the party who sent the flowers. Despite the cola* error the thought and flowers were deeply appreciated by the mother and her newborn son. THE LOCAL library aide at the Milford junior high school, Mrs. Richard Brunjes, had an interesting thing happen to her last week wher. she received her check from principal Marion Acton. Her desk was surrounded with sixth grade students and one of them asked the principal where his check was, Acton replied, “you’re getting yours later today,” meaning his report card. After the principal left one of

Construction underway at Cardinal after many delays; $ 300,000 needed

It all began in 1968 with the realization of the board of directors of Cardinal Center that something had to be done to provide fa* the needs of the increasing number of mentally retarded children and adults whose parents desired services from Cardinal Center. The original thinking was fa* the addition of an educational wing to relieve the stress on the main facility. It was estimated that this cost would be about $125,000. and it was hoped the center could raise $90,000 from the industrial community and from Kosciusko county residents The capital fund drive had barely begun when Cardinal Center was informed that it was number one priority fa* state and federal funding to build a comprehensive mental retardation facility. The construction program was thoughtfully changed to include maximum expansion to serve the ten year physical needs of Cardinal Center. The application was approved in October of 1969 by

AF THE EDITOR

Congratulates school board (?)

Dear Editor: I wish to congratulate your school board for its asinine decision to demand the resignation of Tom Spear. Many of us in Elkhart are looking forward to dominating the Elkhart Regional for some time and looked upon a Tom Spear coached team as the oily obstacle in our way. You have assured us of an easy path to Fort Wayne during the 1974 tournament! Coach Spear, whose record speaks for itself, has shown that good coaching, consistant disciffiine and sportsmanship can produce a winner. It’s a shame that Wawasee students and fans

the students asked Mrs. Brunjes how much she made, and she replied in a non-descript manner, he then pushed it further and asked if she made as much as real teachers. She replied that she didn’t. When leaying the desk the student was heard to remark, “She’s probably on social security.” HAVE YOU tried the Mock road railroad crossing south of Milford this week? It now has that new smooth ride. All winter, residents of the south side of Waubee Lake have been very aggravated about the rough condition of the crossing. One of them finally took matters in his own hands to save his vehicles. “Gentleman” Jim Hostetler took his children and repaired the crossing over last week end. We don’t know if he intends to turn in a bill to the railroad or not? Maybe as a last resort, saving your mode of transportation is enough pay. No injuries in Sunday mishap County officers estimated damage at $225 in a two-vehicle mishap at 4:16 Sunday afternoon as autos driven by Paul VanDyke, 19, Syracuse, and Phil Schloss, 78, Ligonier, collided at Indiana 13 and Pickwick Road south of Syracuse. Damage was listed at SSO to the Schloss auto and $175 to VanDyke’s car. Milford police arrest two men Two men were arrested by the Milford police department over the past week end. Arrested were Juan Paredes, 28, Burket, for operating a vehicle with no license ; and Juan Carvajal, 43, 110 E. Emeline St., Milford, for public intoxication.

the state department of Mental Retardation and in December on the federal level. At that time the original anticipated cost of the building was $570,000. The federal share of $220,811. came from public law 88-164. The law expired June 30,1970, but the funds are on reserve fa the project. The state of Indiana has set aside $178,430 of cigarette tax money to add to this amount leaving approximately $170,760 to be raised locally. To date the Cardinal Center building fund created from local contributions is $170,000 This total county community has responded completely to the aiginal need. Because of the long delays of meeting federal technical specifications and the constantly changing requirements of construction, excessive delays have been experienced in getting permission to let bids. This permission was finally given in June, 1972. Bids were opened in September of 1972, letters of

will not be privileged to see the 1973-1974 season that coach Spear was building towards. If coach Spears record for the 19721973 season or his insistance on discipline is justification for the removal of a coach, your school board should stand up and be counted for their record. Those of us who have admired coach Spear for many years wish him the best and look forward to following his continued success. With tongue in cheek we shall also be keeping an eye on your school board; a good laugh is hard to come by. Robert Charles Ellsasser 500 S. Main Street Elkhart, Indiana 46514 Vandalism reported at Love Gerald Hubartt of Love Furniture, Syracuse, reported to Syracuse police at 4:30 Tuesday of an attempt to slash the tires of his parked truck. The truck was parked behind the Huntington building at the time. Car fire Tuesday Syracuse volunteer firemen responded to a car fire call at 3:27 Tuesday afternoon at the corner of the Pickwick Road and CR 550. Firemen speculated a possible short in the wiring caused SI,OOO damage to the auto belonging to Dave Eckrich. Fog results in injuries to four A single vehicle crash on county road 650E, one and onehalf miles east of Syracuse, Sunday at 1:36 a.m. resulted in injuries to four persons. John W. Leemon, 21, Milford, driver of the vehicle, was treated at the Goshen hospital for injuries to his right knee and left hip. Passengers in the auto, Bob Wanamaker, 22, Goshen, was treated at Goshen for an injury to his left knee; Sheryl Larson, 22, Elkhart, was also treated at Goshen for a laceration above her right eye; and Judy Pangbum, 22, Goshen, was taken to the Elkhart hospital and treated for a broken right leg. The accident was caused by a heavy fog which left Leemon unable to see a curve in the road. The auto hit head-on into a tree and the auto was listed at SI,OOO damage by deputy sheriffs Alan Rovenstine and Gerry Moser.

Wed’., April 4,1973 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

intent were issued in December of 1972, and, after final federal approval, contracts were signed in March of 1973. After nearly five long years, construction has now begun. Scheduled completion date is April 3,1974. Parts of the building will be available fa usage pria to that date. The estimated costs were very accurate at the time, however, due to constantly rising materials cost and constantly rising federal wage scales, and additional federal construction requiremnts which have become necessary, the construction cost of this new facility is now $871,700. The necessity of acquiring an additional $300,000 has become quite evident. Any delays in construction or postponement of construction beginning would result in very significant further deficit obligations. And so, with the same faith that has kept Cardinal Center operating over the years, construction has begun.
