at the church of his choice on Sunday morning. ALL SYSTEMS are go for Milford’s annual Memorial Day chicken barbecue and the special events of the day. A New this year will be a greased pig contest. The cutie king and queen contest will again be held as well as the bicycle race and the volleyball tournament. % ' All in all, it promises to be an eventful day with everything being led off with the annual parade down Main street and the services at the cemetery. WANT TO help your fellowman? The Laubach Literacy of Fort Wayne is sending a team to Warsaw to teach adults to teach reading. The 12 hour course will be held from 8:30-3:30 on Thursday, May 24, and from 9 to 3:30 on Friday, May 25, in the fellowship hall at the Presbyterian church in Warsaw. Those attending are asked to take a sack lunch both days. Several ladies from Our Town took this course a few years back and found it to be quite helpful and interesting. Many of the residents of Milford are better readers today because of the time these ladies took to help them. Anyone with extra time who wants to help others might well consider taking this course. DID YOU happen to catch Dennis Rumfelt and the Fifth Season on television last Friday? MR. AND MRS. HARRY GOOD of Our Town are really proud of their granddaughter Lee Ann Ganger. • ; Lee Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Joan) Ganger of Goshen is salutatorian of the 1973 graduating class of GHS.

She is a member of the student council, National Honor Society and was mayor at Girls’ State last summer. Lee Ann has been a cheerleader for three years and has been in several school plays. She has won scholastic awards and is a candidate for the Elizabeth A. Fuson scholarship. She plans to attend Ball State university. Last April 21 Lee Ann was chosen queen of the Goshen Relays and reigned for the annual event. She was chosen from a field of five girls. —o — THOSE MUSHROOM hunters are out in force this week. Mrs. Wayne Bucher reports finding 150 under one tree while on a recent Michigan hunt. IF YOU miss Don Charlton at the post office it’s because he’s on a three week vacation. We wonder if he’s vacationing or if he’s working in his fields! —o — MILFORD AMERICAN Legion Auxiliary members will be on the streets this Friday and Saturday with their poppies — replicas of the bright red wild flowers which were so prevalent in the field of France during World Wars I and n. Mrs. Dale Stump is chairman of this year’s poppy day. Poppies to be offered here were made by veterans of the Veteran’s hospital in Marion. —o —- HAVE YOU noticed the new outfits being worn by the gals at the First National Bank. The yellows and greens look very much like spring. MILFORD’S SECOND check (which was the smaller one) for revenue sharing funds turned out to belong to Milford in Decatur county. The federal government did not really give us an extra small windfall. It had to be returned. —o — IF PHEND AND BROWN are not re-surfacing Main street by the time the paper hits the street this week it will be a real disappointment. « They completed the job in Warsaw they had to finish before moving their equipment this way on Monday of this week, according to a Warsaw birdie on Monday night. They had thought to start here on May 10 but did not make it. — o — IT’S IN the air that the town and township are working at finding a new justice of the peace for the community. If this works out hope “feuds” that developed in the past between law officers and the justice can be avoided. We might have a better chance at taking people to task for misdemeanors if there is a “JP” court handy where offenders can be taken. At least not having one can’t be the reason for not arresting “clientele” who mis-use the community but do not live around here. MARY LOU White of Goshen burst into laughter last Thursday evening when she saw the miniature rural mail-boxes which decorated the table at the Bethel church’s mother and daughter night. Mrs. White, who was the speaker of the evening, said she has been after her husband, Chuck, to get a new mail box. She was delighted to take home two of the small boxes for a “His” and “Hers” joke on Mr. White. Chuck happens to be Mrs. Ted (Ellen) Brook’s boss at Penn’s in Goshen. —o— DO THEY or don’t they is the question raised about the location of the home of Ron and Connie Smith at the end of West Section street. When they asked for the

numeral from “MAD” to put on their home they were told according to the map which had been supplied from the i/town records for numbering they were not in the town. They pay town taxes! The present town board has no clear record of the town boundary at the south. The next step should be the courthouse to see what can be found out. Why pay town taxes if you’re in the township. They don’t have any city facilities at present. ATTENTION SENIOR CITIZENS: You have been invited to be the guests of the county council for the aged and aging in honor of Senior Citizens month at a banquet to be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, May 25, at the Shrine building.

The program on “Drugs In The School” was given by Henry Smith ahd Donn Kesler of Wawasee high school. Some facts and conclusions expressed are: the wide spread use of alcohol by adults, and youth constitutes the greatest drug abuse, drugs are here to stay, are a part of the current scene, and the alarming fact is that all segments of high school life are accepting the use of drugs as away of life. It has been found that young people are reluctant to talk about the use of drugs. Improving the quality of life is the goal of the Wawasee high school faculty and administration and it is encouraging that, at present, no proven case of use of hard drugs exists in the school. The children’s day camp sponsored by Kiwanis, county health service and county extension service will be the subject of the next program. Slides of last year’s camp will be shown by a member of the extension service. —NW— Reports outboard motor stolen Ben Baker of r 1 Leesburg reported to the sheriff’s department May 7 that a 9.8 horsepower black outboard motor by Mercury was stolen from his dock on Lake Tippecanoe.
