Federal revenue sharing funds go to day care center at Calvary

The proposed Day Care Center for Turkey Creek township will receive a healthy boost to its budget, if township trustee Joseph Shewmon has anything to do with it. Trustee Shewmon has taken initial steps to give the new program $15,000 of federal revenue sharing money he now has in the bank. In all, the township has between $50,000 and $60,000 in federal revenue money, and this will be the first expenditure of the federal windfall. Calls It “Worthy” Trustee Shewmon called the Day Care Center a “worthy program,” and promised his support to get it off the ground. In a legal notice, published last week and this week in The MailJournal, it is noted that a public meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 28, to consider the $15,000 additional appropriation.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1973

Psychometrist tells Lions about special education Milford Lions heard Jack Cripe, school psychometrist for a five-school special education program which includes the Lakeland school corporation. He told Milford Lions Monday night the schools involved besides Lakeland are Jhe Warsaw Community high school, the host school, Bremen, Tippecanoe Valley, and Whitko schools. A program of testing and special training for individual schools would be prohibitive, he said, but with five schools working on special education jointly, it makes the program practical and workable. Mr. Cripe said the 1969 state legislature mandated schools to include special education in their curriculum. He showed an excellent color film to highlight the much-misunderstood area of special education. Banner Night Lion D. G. “Bud” Seely conducted the Monday night meeting in the absence of president T. A. Miller and any of the vice presidents. It was noted that Banner Night has been set for Saturday, Sept. 15, with Joe Canfield of Mishawaka as speaker. John Sine of Bremen will be master of ceremonies. The program will be at Wawasee high school. The Lions bought a hog at the 4H livestock auction at the fair, and it was noted the club gave SIOO to Andrea Newman, “Miss Milford” in the fair queen contest. Jack Snell of Warsaw was a guest. MAD to talk food stamp program A major topic to come before the August meeting of the Milford Area Development Council (MAD) at its meeting at the Milford fire station next Monday night will be an authoritative discussion of the food stamp program. Alex Morris, who was recently named regional co-ordinator of the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese, department of the Spanish speaking people, will talk about the need for the food stamp program in Kosciusko county and introduce Ron Mitchell, assistant to the supervisor of the food stamp program for the state of Indiana and Donald Thompson of South Bend, director of the U.S. department of agriculture food and nutrition service. The Need Is Here The food stamp program, in wide use throughout the United States, has not been introduced in Kosciusko county where the need is just as great as in any other area in the country. The food stamp program is of particular importance to low income residents and should be of interest to senior citizens of this and other surrounding communities. Anyone interested in the adoption of the food stamp program is invited and urged to attend the MAD meeting at 7:30 p.m. next Monday night at the Milford fire station.
