M The Column M A Sideshow Os ggS Events In Milford

MRS. H. M. Elkerton of Fort Morgan, Colo., loaned us the above photo for this column. The sign in the bank’s window is made of onions! Mrs. Elkerton is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Elmer H. Groves of our town and the granddaughter of M. B. Groves. She comments she thinks the man under the flag, second from left, is Norman Groves and would like to know whether or not she is correct. Can anyone help her?

SOUNDS LIKE Terry Musselman has the cart before the horse this Christmas season. Terry has purchased a saddle for his 18-month-old daughter Teresa, however, she won’t get her pony until next spring. A NOTE from postmaster Paul Kizer to postal customers last week reminded all to mail their cards and packages early. Packages should have been mailed on Monday and cards should be in the mail by Saturday.

His note said, “The fuel shortage has caused reduction of hundreds of airline flights; trucks carrying our mail have slowed to 50 miles per hour; and we can expect serious problems in getting the mail delivered during the holiday season.” Well, try anyway! THE ANNUAL Christmas program will be presented at the junior high school at 2:30 p.m. A very enjoyable holiday program is being planned with something for everyone. NOW COMES Mrs. Noble (Donna) Fisher to The M-J office with a bouquet of flowers in December. She spotted a cluster of dandelions blooming along the sidewalk near the office so she picked them for us. Many people have reported lettuce is coming up in their gardens. RIGHT NOW, while you are thinking about it, why not address a card to Edith Bontrager at Saint Mary’s hospital in Rochester, Minn. Edith, who has been confined to a wheelchair for several years, went to Mayo clinic for an operation which might enable her to walk with the aid of crutches. She had the operation then complications set in and another operation was necessary, the outcome is not yet known. Edith has been receiving cards from some of the residents of this town and has been enjoying them even though she doesn’t know many of the people who sent them. She and her sister Elsie reside with Russ Homan at Waubee Lake. AFTER THE article camemlt last week on Cindy Rapp’s national 4-H scholarship we were reviewing a year-old copy of The M-J and found that her brother Rick received a like scholarship last year. The Elmer Rapps of r 2 must be proud of their children and their accomplishments.

THE MILFORD Senior Htizens will meet at the fire station on Sunday at 1 p.m. for the annual Christmas pot luck dinner. A group from the Wawasee high school will present the afternoon program. MEMBERS OF the Bethel church paid off the mortgage on their educational wing and new front entrance recently. The project was completed in 1968 and dedicated on September 15 of that year. The mortgage was signed on January 30, 1968 and the debt was paid off over nine years in advance of the January 30,1983 due date. A total of over SBI,OOO was invested in the project. THE INDIANA Motor bus driver who took the Chore-Time ladies to Woodfield Mall in the Chicago area last Saturday reports that his company alone took over 1,000 persons last Saturday to the Chicago shopping areas. One of the Chore-Time ladies tells us the decorations were not as outstanding this year as in the past. Not having them lighted makes a difference. She also said that you had to stand in line a lot as the day progressed. There are 177 stores in the complex and they were all stocked to capacity for holiday shoppers. The ladies were treated to an evening meal in Valparaiso on the return trip. A lot of looking and not as much shopping was accomplished. No one likes to carry a lot of packages on a long trip. Even the lockers were reported to be full in the mall. THE MILFORD fifth graders enjoyed a swimming party at WHS on Tuesday morning. They were awarded this “treat” as they were named the top salesmen of the school’s candy sales a few weeks ago. These boys and girls worked extra hard in raising money for their school’s athletic department and deserved the swimming party. THE STORY in last week’s paper about the happenings at the Old Hickory and Senator Augsburger’s suggestion that one way to call attention to the nefarious activities would be for a group of townspeople to go into the place several nights and sing hymns brought many comments. Persons from all over the area read the article and made comments to Milford residents. We’ve even heard that some of the townspeople are planning a hymn sing and are thinking about forming a band to help. THE LIONS grapefruit will arrive in Milford this week and will be delivered on Saturday. Currently the Lions club members are also planning to have trucks full of grapefruit located in the up-town area where people may buy them. Club members will also be going door to door with their wares.
