to its gloomy predictions. Not just threats of doomsday — but criticisms and dire prophesies concerning every new invention or discovery made by man. These critics laughed at the steamboat, calling it “Fulton’s Folly.” They thought the automobile was an interesting toy, but were sure it

would never replace the horse. And as for the airplane — why, that would never become practical! Meanwhile the men who were building these things, men with faith in the future, did not listen to the prophets of doomsday. They were too busy building — building the world of today’s comforts and conveniences. And tomorrow they will go right on, making American even greater than before, while pessimists flee to the hills and watch the sky for disaster that never comes. EARL WARREN appeared at the newspaper office last Wednesday afternoon with a beautifully colored moth found between the doors of the entrance on the south side of his home. Research showed it to be a Cecropia moth and when spread, had a wingspread of six and onehalf inches. Information defined it as a large silkworm moth, the largest moth native to the eastern United States and represented by related species in the west. Also, the larvae feeds on and usually is a serious defoliator of many forest and fruit trees. When asked what he intended to do with the moth, he said he would take it home and attempt to keep it alive, but if it looked as though it would not survive, he would turn it loose again.

KING OF THE HILL was the game of the day last Thursday on the dirt that has been dug out for footing for an addition to the Pamer building on SR 15. Many of the patrons at the coffee shop watched while about 15 small fry played on the hills of dirt. As always happens, some one lost his temper and a fight started. Rocks and dirt were being thrown by the opposing teams when two larger boys came upon the scene. They were more accurate with their aim and threw stones at both teams. Soon the small fry dispersed. The bullies were kings of the hill. * Matt Pamer is using the building at the present time for the designing of boats. THE KEY 73 FILM shown at Camp Mack on Friday night was very good according to the few persons who were present. Let’s get some “get up and go” and attend the final meetings better. The next one is to be Sunday, July 8, at the junior high school. It will be a singspiration under the direction of James White and senior citizens will be honored. The final session will be The Fifth Season under the direction of Dennis Rumfelt of Goshen in an outdoor concert at the Milford park. ABOUT 15 MEMBERS of the.

IT WAS NICE to see “Hank” and Doris Hamilton from Kalamazoo at the Walter Kasper (her folks) sale last Saturday. Several times during the day some old classmates were reunited with ooh’s and ah’s and “you haven’t changed a bit,” or “I wouldn’t have known you.” People even though! “Heagy,” as Hank was known back in the good old days, was the auctioneer because he was wearing a fancy black bowler. The hat was found in the items that were out for sale and had belonged to Mr. Kasper. It was easy to spot Hank, who acted as a cashier, when you needed to pay for an item. He wore the hat all day. John Biller, who also acted as a cashier, wore another fashionable hat ANOTHER TIDBIT picked up at the Sale was from Esther Markley. After being introduced to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bice, who now own the home on west Emetine formerly owned by the Markley’s some years back, Esther mentioned that until she and Mel sold the home to Dr. and Mrs. Gerald Snider and family no children had ever occupied the house since it was built. The home, a two story frame of the early 1900 vintage, is well adapted to a family. The Snider’s had three children and there are four children in the Bice family. ACCORDING^TO.
