“Polk - Kaiser parking sl. Proceeds go towards honeymoon.” WITH SCHOOLS in the Lakeland area opening next week the football coaches have their teams up early and on the school grounds for practice. The Milford junior high team can be seen working out at the school under the leadership of coaches Bob Kline and Rich Bender. Speaking of the junior high school the new secretary really isn’t new . . . she’s Mrs. William (Virginia) Bess who served as secretary under Milford high school principal, now Wawasee vice principal Donn D. Kesler, a ■number of years ago. Ginny is replacing Mrs. Darrell (Evelyn) Orn. WHAT ARE you going to do with your Labor Day week end? Let’s all hope the weather holds thru the week end. A little less humidity would be helpful but we are in hopes it doesn’t rain during this, the last long week end of the summer.

Food stomp — (continued from page 1) chased under the program, no alcohol, tobacco, or medicines. Mr. Thompson, in explaining the program, said it is administered through the welfare department under the supervision of the USDA. “Grocers love the program,” he said, "and township trustees love it since it gets them out of the commodity business.” Van Buren township trustee Maurice Beer was present and said he favored the food stamp program. “It would relieve me of a lot of headaches,” he said. Mr. Thompson said he realized this, since he is a former township trustee He added that of the 3,100 counties in the United States, 2,300 are on the food stamp program, with many states having mandatory food stamp laws. Cost To County Cost to Kosciusko county to institute the program would be about $2,198 per year, for a case worker, sales clerk, and such things as a desk, chair, safe, file, insurance, etc. Mr. Mitchell said the USDA reimburses the county 62 per cent for the case worker and the state reimburses the county 50 per cent, showing a gain of 12 per cent for the county. • Present was Mrs. Clayton Hollar, a member of the county welfare board. When asked why her board had not pushed for the food stamp program, she said, “We had commodities and you know how the county council screams when we ask for any more money.” Commodities are no longer available and that program was less than satisfactory anyway, it was pointed out. Rev. Quinlivan said he was familiar with the food stamp program in South Bend and found it highly satisfactory. He said, “You’d be surprised how many old people eat a lot of peanut butter because they don’t have proper food.” He added that the food stamp program gives recipients a lot of dignity, since they are paying a portion of the cost of the food received. The group was told that on June 30, 1974 the program would be mandatory and there would be a mad rush to get on the program. “It would be wise to move before that deadline,” Mr. Mitchell said, to beat the rush. At the next meeting MAD will entertain a motion to support or reject the food stamp as proposed for Kosciusko county and turn its findings over to the members of the county council and county commissioners.

Other Business A report was made by MAD (resident Arch Baumgartner on a community brochure being prepared and the text was read for approval. A report was also made on the meeting the previous evening to establish an industrial park for Milford. An article on this appears in another column. The resignation of Phil Beer as vice president was received and John Perry was voted into office in his place. An amendment to the by-laws was voted in, making the outgoing president an advisor to the president for a period of one year, beginning immediately.
