YOUNG KARIN Wuthrich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Wuthrich of near Our Town, is just a bit shy when it comes to dogs. Last wCek she entered a home with her dad and was confronted with a young dog eager to make friends. After declaring her fear for dogs she questioned the owner as to whether or not the dog was “an outside dog.” When she was told yes she quickly commented, “put it outside then.”. THE BUTTONS are still popping off of grandpa and grandma Good’s ghest as they beam about the fact that Lee Ann (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Ganger of Goshen) received the Elizabeth Fuson scholarship and the Goshen News scholastic awards last week. Lee Ann was salutatorian of the 1973 GHS class and was relays queen. While the Goods are proud of all of their grandchildren this seems to be a very special time for the family and for Lee Ann. PINS ARE usually crazy — they are pointed in one end and headed in the other. WITH THE sunshine last week many persons in Our Town continued with painting-up, fixing-up and cleaning-up projects which have been delayed because of the rains.

awning has been installed at Milford Shoe and Clothing . . . lawns have been mowed . . . flowers planted . . . houses, including the Methodist parsonage, are being sided . . . A FEW weeks back we noted Sue Ellen Mabie, daughter of Mrs. Max Kleinknight of r 5 Warsaw and Art Mabie of r 1 Syracuse, had been named Girls’ Stater at Mentone high school. Now it seems like younger sister Beth has received the Good Citizenship award presented by the DAR to junior high school students at Talma. Button burstin’ grandparents of the girls are Mr. and Mrs. Harold Geiger of Our Town. WE RECENTLY read an article in the Region V Public Report of the Environmental Protection Agency entitled, “No Gas? Try Mowing!” The article was written by Lee Botts and asked the question, “Do we really need all these gadgets? In his closing paragraph Mr. Botts says: “Let’s push our lawnmowers this summer; our hearts will be healthier, our air cleaner, our back yards more quiet, our youngster busier and happier.” I ■ DO YOU know that Rev. Ralph Karstedt began his fifth year at the Milford United Methodist church last Sunday? WHEN THE Milford Senior Citizens meet on June 10 they will be celebrating their first an- ( niversary.
The organization has been very active over the past several months with outings, shuffle board matches and programs for the older set. IT’S EDITORIAL time again! Someone needs to tell the youngsters in this town the rules about bicycle safety and the best person for the job is mom or dad. There have been so many close calls with cars and bicycle riders in the past few days that the law of averages has to catch up with us soon and when it does there are going to be a lot of sad people in this community. True the motorists. should be on the alert for youngsters, especially now that school is out, but it’s almost impossible to see children until they are on the streets when they dart out from everyplace and come- around corners three and four abreast at a high rate of speed. They are upon the driver before his reflexes can act. So, please mom and dad, remind your youngsters that there are rules for the road in bicycle riding. Remind them of the fact that if they are old enough to leave your property with their bikes they are old enough to follow some rules. Then, give them some good rules to follow and make sure they follow them. Remember . . . you might be saving their life! Wet harvest increased corn drying WEST LAFAYETTE — The wet 1972 corn harvesting season required Indiana farmers to artificially dry 13 per cent more farm-stored corn than during the 1971 season, report state-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue university. Farmers artificially dried 82 per cent of their corn during the last harvest season; this was 13 per cent more than the previous year. The batch dryer method was the principal on-farm method of artificially drying corn, accounting for 34 per cent of the stored corn. Indiana farmers sold 39 per cent of their crop at harvest, up from the 26 per cent sold directly from the field in the 1971 harvest.' Nearly 82 per cent of the crop was harvested as shelled corn. Ear storage on farms dropped to eight per cent of the 1972 crop; in 1971 16 per cent of the crop went into farm cribs.

Hartke against proposed tax on gasoline WASHINGTON — Administration proposals to put a new tax on gasoline as a means of protection against shortages were called “thoroughly reprehensible” by Senator Vance Hartke, D-Ind. “If there is a shortage, go to rationing. Do not make price the deciding factor of distribution. Pricing gasoline out of the market hurts millions of working persons at the most important point of the pocketbook next to food. “The idea advanced by George Shultz would allow the affluent to get to the shore and the mountains and leave the poor unable to make a living. I cannot think of that tells of twisted economic priorities more than this one,” Senator Hartke said. Bark slashed from trees in Syracuse Bark was slashed from two trees, apparently by vandals, at 400 and 406 S. Front street, Syracuse. The mutilation was reported at 2:40 p.m. Sunday, June 1. Mrs. C. H. Ott and Mrs. Carl Penn each reported one water maple tree which had been injured. Syracuse police officer Dale Sparklin investigated.
