11 The Column S A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

WE AREN’T REALLY trying to rush the fall season with this football picture. We just thought it would be nice to share it with our readers before returning it to Lawrence Homan. We have three such photos and will run the other two in the coming weeks. Did you know Milford had a football team in the early 1900’s? The photo above was taken in 1905. In the front row right in the light suit is Lloyd Felkner. ‘ Compt Scarlet is shown on the left in the second row with Scott Stiffler on the right. The first two in the third row are not identified. The third young man is George Odgen, then Robert Higbee, Sr., an un-named man and Frank Homan. The coach was George Odgen’s brother. Does anyone know his first name? GIRLS HAVE an unfair advantage over men: If they can’t get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb. MR. AND MRS. Robert Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. D. G. (Bud) Seely were in Indianapolis the first part of this week attending the grand chapter meeting of the Order of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Brooks served as grand p<rge for the 99th session of the stai&cbapter. Mr. and Mrs. Seely and Mr. Brooks represented the local chapter as delegates. The Seelys are currently serving as worthy matron and patron and the Brookses are junior past matron and patron. SOME PERSONS are questioning why there was not an organized Easter egg hunt for the youngsters in the Milford community. Some of the children were disappointed. If you have 1 ever helped plan one and then had rain the day of the event you’ll know why groups do not always get this accomplished. An alternative time has to be found and the kids are disappointed anyway. Going farther back than the last five or six years, neighborhoods used to organize their own hunts for special smaller groups of children. This was fun because one could keep tabs on the happenings of each person easier than in the large hunts. Try giving one in your neighborhood next year. HE WHO hesitates gets bumped from behind. ELEVEN TRACTORS is what the Men’s Fellowship of the Bethel church had plowing fields at the Mike Reuter farm north of town the other day. The men work the land as a work project for the church. THE FIFTH SEASON of Goshen under the direction of Dennis Rumfelt, former r 2 Milford resident, is still a popular folk group in this area. Over 50 young persons of high school and college age participate in the folk worship programs they present.

PRETTY Mrs. Dave (Carol Mynhier) Lipp, of Elkhart can be seen on channel 28 at the 8 p.m. station break and again later in the evening.

HAVE YOU heard any of the male telephone operators? They are pleasant and after the initial shock of hearing a man’s voice instead of a woman’s, one finds they are quite capable of doing their job! / PARENTS TAKE NOTE: When was the last time your child had a tetanus shot? If you don’t know or if it has been awhile, why not check with your doctor. Springtime is a good time of the year to step on rusty nails and old rakes so why not take some precautions to insure the health of your youngsters. VENIDA WINTERS, mother of Mrs. Larry Bishop of r 2 Milford, has recently authored a book, “A Complete Guide to Pet and Show Poodles.’’ It is being published by Carlton Press and will be on the market May 7. The Winters travel now and use the address of their daughter for a permanent mailing address. They have operated poodle grooming shops several places including Alaska. In the book advice is given on buying, proper nutrition, training, brushing, washing and clipping of poodles. It also discusses breeding and the preparation of a dog for show. Mrs. Winters is known as a foremost expert on poodles and has 20 years of experience to back this knowledge. ONE WOMAN who works in Milford was telling us this week of going to a nearby big city for some eye glasses. She thought by doing this she could get faster service. It only took three weeks and several trips. One probably could do better in a nearby community, however most people like to try the big time. After all their ideas might work

out sometime, who knows. LLOYD COY says there are a number of advantages of living on Waubee Lake. One is looking at the calm, clear water before reporting in to his job in Milford each morning.
