|| The Column |K A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

“WHOOOOOOM, that’s how it went,” is the way young Kevin Beer, son of Rodney and Kathy Beer, explains the fire siren that goes off in Milford daily as the clock strikes noon. Not used to the sires Kevin was taken by surprise when he and his mother entered the bank last week (we would guess to see grandmother Mrs. Dee (Doris) Darnell) all he could say was it went Whooooom! LAWRENCE MOORE celebrated his 89th birthday on November 2. THE KIDS from the United Methodist church collected 141.04 recently as they trick or treated their way through the streets of Milford for UNICEF. The United Methodist Chimes reports, “through the near magic of UNICEF this money can protect 8,320 children from tuberculosis or perhaps it can do some equally great and necessary job . . .” CINDY GROVES spent Halloween night in the corn field! Seems the car in which she was riding ended up there after the driver swerved to miss an opossum and went out of control on the rain slick highway. They were lucky, no one was hurt and they soon found a ride back into town. MANY YEARS ago an Englishwoman? perhaps a bit envious, told James McNeill Whistler, that she thought the politeness of the French was all on the surface. The artist replied: “That is a very good place for it to be.” Good manners even if only on the surface, do smooth the way through life for everyone .. . The person who grows careless about good manners must remember that even a heart bf gold won’t show through an exterior of brass. — Nuggets. THE HALLOWEEN season, which is always a fun-time for most persons, is gone for another year. It is amazing how many communities still have an observance of this fun holiday for children and adults. In Milford the Lions, the American Legion post and the American Legion Auxiliary cooperate to have a contest and parade each year. The date for the event is set by the sponsors. The date for trick or treat night is set by the town, board. Both chose October 31 this year. The last few years, since these events have ended up on the same night each year, mothers of small children mention that they would like to have their youngsters participate in both events but it is almost impossible with the double event on the same date. Here’s a suggestion: Why not have trick or treat night on October 30 and the parade on Halloween night or even the week end before

Perhaps the town fathers and the committee for the Halloween event could talk the matter over at the September town board meeting each year. This year some area residents were very disappointed when some of the small witches, clowns, ghosts and goblins were not able to go to the parade and trick or treat at the homes of their friends also. HAVE YOU picked up your names for the Mental Health Christmas gift drive. Please help us remember these people during the holiday season. Names are available at either of The Mail-Journal offices or if you don’t want a name just bring in a new gift which has been wrapped for Christmas.

THE MILFORD Senior Citizens will meet at the fire station on Sunday, Nov. 11, at 1 p.m. for their Thanksgiving dinner. Meat will be furnished. The Brethrenaires from the Living Gospel Community church in Nappanee will give the program. Evangelistic services will get underway on Sunday at the Milford Christian church minus the evangelist. Reason: He is coming from the Orlando, Fla., area and cannot get a plane out until Monday a.m. because of the fuel shortage. The church’s pastor, Eldon Wilson, will be speaking both Sunday morning and evening. LOOK FOR a capacity crowd at Warrior field on Saturday night when Wawasee meets Blackford in the first round of the state playoffs. The Warriors go into the game with a 9-0 record and are tied with Warsaw and Plymouth for a share of the NLC crown. Blackford has an 8-0 record for the season. MRS. JOE Zambrano is another of our town’s residents who has seen a UFO. One hovered over her car as she was on the Milford-Syracuse road at 8:30 p.m. Monday.

Earnings increased for Hooks in first nine months

INDIANAPOLIS - Hook Drugs, Inc., increased earnings for the first nine months of 1973 by 20 per cent to $2,122,464, or $0.75 per share. The amount compares to the 1972 figure of $1,769,265 or $0.65 per share. Sales for the same nine months were $72,458,703, compared to $61,693,883 for 1972. This represents an increase of 17.4 per cent. The performance gain came in the face of government price restrictions which forbid price raises between June 13 and August 12, 1973, despite higher costs of goods sold and services. The Company currently is following the guidelines of Phase IV. Hook’s operates 169 drug stores in 86 Indiana communities, with sales of $97,928,487 for the 12 months ended September 30, 1973, vs $84,216,631 over the

comparable period a year earlier. Net income on the same basis was $3,212,843 per share vs $2,721,415 respectively. Total dividends paid in 1973 amounted to $0.3744 per share, compared to $0.3328 for 1972, adjusted for two stock splits. The increased payment gives consideration to the maximum dividend permissable for the entire year as set out by the liberalized guidelines of the government’s committee on interest and dividends. During 1973,13 new drug stores have been added. Four additional openings are anticipated before the end of the year, bringing the projected 1973 total to 173 sales units. TRADE AGREEMENT On Nov. 23,1970, the USSR and China signed a one-year trade agreement in Peking.
