H The Column S A Sideshow Os Events In Milford BSC

AT LAST we have an answer. We’ve been wondering how so many people managed to pick up the item in this column on the water bills. This week the bossman received the following letter: “To clear up a mystery: “I noted the lead item in The Mail-Journal’s Sideshow column about a story from Milford appearing in the Atlanta Journal. The story was about the people who, unsolicited, showed up at town hall to pay their water bills the day a main broke. “As you’know, there’s always room in newspapers for short, funny, strange or just interesting items — either as space-fillers or as day-brighteners. “The Associated Press each cycle (twice a day) moves a small package of such briefs. Ordinarily, these are sent to AP in New York fay our bureaus around the country. In New York they are compiled, edited or rewritten and moved on the main national news wire. “One night a few weeks ago I spotted the water hill item in The M-J and liked it. I was the late night supervisor that week and put it in the briefs package. “The New York Times used it the next day, and I’m sure a great many other papers did, too. “It was just a couple sentences, not even a hundred words.” In case you haven’t guessed the letter was signed by Earleen

(Fisher) Tatro. Earleen is a graduate of Milford high school and Indiana university and has worked with AP since her graduation from IU. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Noble Fisher of near Our Town. MR. AND Mrs. John L. Miller of Dewart Lake attended the Indiana State Water Ski club meeting recently in Mishawaka. Mr. Miller was re-elected as the group’s president and Mrs. Miller was re-elected to serve as secretary. Both are active members of the Dewart Lake Skiers ski club. Other members from the local club who attended were Donald Bucher, Dewart Lake, who was elected to the board of directors of the state organization ; Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Golden and Harley Chalk, also of Dewart Lake; and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Rector of Hammond. HOW ABOUT those Warriors.. . even though they lost the playoff game to Blackford Saturday night we’re mighty proud of them and so are the other Lakeland fans. Many braved the cold weather Saturday when warmth not fashion dictated the mode of dress to be on hand to cheer for their Warriors. x We even noted that Plymouth’s team sent good luck wishes to the Warriors . . . that’s true sportsmanship. FIVE BRAVE hunters from Our Town are out west hunting this week. Phil Campbell, Bob Brooks, Larry Slabaugh, Chuck McKibbin and Doug Rensberger left early (3:30 a.m.) Sunday. SOMEONE HIT a wrong key when the October issue of the Methodist Chimes were printed and we picked up a donation of 341.04 to UNICEF this year. Then came a call from Rev. Ralph Karstedt stating the error had been made and it should have read $lO4 which is some 60 per cent higher than last year and an

all-time record for the drive. SPEAKING OF the United Methodist church the annual Thanksgiving supper will be held there tomorrow (Thursday) with the Hand Bell choir from the Cardinal Learning center being special guests. The community services will be at the First Brethren church next Wednesday night with Chad Woodburn, pastor of the New Salem church, speaking. The Christian church moved its Thanksgiving supper up a week because of the evangelistic services currently underway there and reported an overflowing crowd on hand with the supper being held in the Christian Athletic Center of the church. Everyone is invited to the services this week. DID YOU happen to hear the early morning program over WOWO radio Saturday? Serving Bob Sievers* breakfast for the morning was Quimby Elkins, former Milford resident. It was Quimby’s birthday and he invited friends toa party at the Waynedale restaurant in the afternoon. He formerly lived In the*woods behind the parking area across the road from the Waubee Lake park. Investigate series of break-ins Two break-ins near Syracuse sometime late Friday night or early Saturday morning netted burglars over $350. County officers and Syracuse police were called to the Frog tavern when it was discovered a cash drawer was forced with a small amount of change taken, and entry was made into the liquor storage room, where nothing was reported missing. Entry was gained at Curls Inc. south of Syracuse by breaking the door glass and walking through into the building. A small safe was broken into where approximately $350 in cash was taken. Amendment given in zoning ordinance A legal appears elsewhere in this issue of the paper regarding an ordinance passed November 6 by the board of trustees of the town of Syracuse providing for the amendment of the improvement location permit ordinance and the mobile and compact home ordinance, all under and a part of the zoning ordinance of Syracuse.

All over Indiana, the Green Coat of a Hook’s Pharmacist has become a symbol. It stands for the finest possible prescription service, and the highest professional standards. Right now there are over a hundred and sixty-nine Hook’s Drug Stores and by late summer there should be at least a hundred and seventy five. z And etery single one will be within the State of Indiana! That may dound like we’re putting all of our “stores” in one basket, but we couldn’t ask for a sturdier one. We have confidence in Indiana and Indiana has confidence in Hook’s Men in Green.

As Indiana grows and population centers shift and expand, Hook’s will too. Since filling prescriptions is largely a “people to people” business, we think it’s good business to be where the people are— All over Indiana.
