En route, a lady silting across from Arch asked if he and Tom Coad were not Americans, and did they have any American stamps with them They were, and didn't, but Arch took her name and has since sent her a packet of assorted stamps Now there’s a bit of person-to-person foreign relations that can't be topped Johannesburg is breathtaking, and then there are our new friends "Skip" and Stephanie Pa pert and their adventuresome daughter Robin who had us to their home in Johannesburg for dinner and a real insight on South

African living. If we saw nothing else, the days spent at Victoria Falls was worth it all. For us. it marked our 31st wedding anniversary, and that's a watermark of its own. if you’ll forgive the pun We must have felt as awed as Dr. David’Livingstone did when he saw the falls for the first time. What marvels God had wrought, we thought to ourselves as we looked at the millions of gallons of water per second cascading over the diamond-hard rock edge And then the rough trip to Bulawayo, still in Rhodesia, as our plane cut through thick mountains of fog and left some of us shaken. We were in Salisbury that evening, feeling much better, and the group party in our room marking our anniversary. The party was on us. and there was much picture-taking, and our new friend, newspaper executive Ralph Hoateter, who joined us at Cap? Town, proved the life of the party with his new Polaroid camera to record the event Before leaving Victoria Falls we visited a crocodile farm and were told of the life of the croc from the egg until he is released in Die swirling Zambezi River to fend for himself with other Marine predators Anyway, the next morning in the Sannawanna dining room in the Jameson Hotel, Della was eating sc imbled eggs, when along came Dr. Ross King and said, "Della, those crocodile eggs aren’t half bad, are they." And. as you can imagine, that was the end of her breakfast The afternoon ride on the Zambezi River, between warring Zambia and Rhodesia, commonly called the “Booze Cruize” because there were free drinks for those aboard, was most unforgettable. We were told that at times there was shooting

along the river, perhaps to spike our curiosity and make the trip the more exciting. We, thankfully. encountered no shooting One can’t but remember appreciatively our close-up interview with Salisbury Prime Minister lan Smith. In his office in Salisbury, the slight, intense leader who has headed his country in its eight years of Independence told us about the problems of his country working under United Nations sanctions with a dedication that reminded one of the dedication most certainly felt by the founding fathers of our own country. As a matter of note, we viewed their original Declaration of Independence signed by PM Smith and others, and found the wording of much of it was very similar to that of our own Declaration of Independence. We found in Smith and his countrymen a real fondness for most everything American, in spite of the fact that our country supports the UN sanctions against Rhodesia. The plane ride from Salisbury to Nairobi, en route to Dar es Salaam, capital of Tanzania, where we had a chance to see snowcapped Kilimanjaro Mountain, brought to mind what early English settlers must have thought when they first saw this mountain (height: 19,340 feet) along the Equator — and there, sure enough, was snow on its peak! Dar es Salaam, with its enchanting name with a far-away ring, and its newly-won independence. Now a socialist state. Dr. Julius K. Nyerere. is trying a boot strap operation to bring his country into the twentieth century with a tug and a pull. Their problems are monumental. We could tell you about poor service in the dining room of the New Africa Hotel where we stayed, or the stench in the open air market, or the health problems that cry out for a solution, but you would never understand. The whole point of travel is to see how the other half lives. We have no idea of reforming any country we visited, but to observe and report We had occasion to meet the American Ambassador, W. Beverly Carter, Jr., at a social function given in our honor at Dar es Salaam, and we were impressed with the tall, black native of Philadelphia. We regretted not getting to Zanzibar, the island just 24 miles off the coast of Tanzania, but the slow ferry would just have taken too long. Some of our group went to a Catholic church service on Sunday morning, which we missed. However, we did attend the following service in the same church which was in English. Back To Nairobi En route back to Nairobi we set down again at the seaport town of Mombasa, then to Kilimanjaro Airport. Arch took occasion to ask the pilot if he could sit up front with him and the Ugandan co-pilot on the last leg of the afternoon's flight. Surprisingly, the answer was yes. and he reported a thrilling ride as the big Douglas jet lifted

off and later landed at Nairobi. One can just imagine. But now we're back at the PAN-AM Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi where we met the President of Lions International who was staying a floor above us. He was visiting there on a worldwide tour. We enjoyed the hotel’s huge, ceramic oval pool and the hot sunshine. It should be told that Dr. Jim Myers, who had repeatedly warned all of us about sun overexposure, got a real stinger during a three-hour visit to the pool at the Intercontinental. Our trip to The Ark. mentioned earlier in this piece, where we spent the night and saw a host of assorted wild animals was memorable. The huge building, shaped like an ark. was selfcontained. and overhanging porches gave us an opportunity late into the night to observe animals coming up to the mud hole and salt lick. We even saw a rhino stand-off at one time. Among the animals we saw were bush buck, water buffalo, rhino, wart hogs, elephants, and many others. It proved a cameraman’s field day. A BBC crew was there with us filming the animals for a TV special. Driving back into Nairobi one is again caught up in the beauty of this gem of East Africa. Sometimes called the "Denver of East Africa" because it is some 5,000 feet above sea level, it appears to have ample rainfall to bring out the foliage. Fauna and flora are so commonplace in this area. Driving into the city one is struck with the appearance of an, explosion of colorful flowers lining the streets. Bougainvillea in assorted colors everywhere. Then Home So it was Nairobi and home. We took off at 11:30 p.m. on February 15 for Rome and London. It was six and a half hours from Nairobi to Rome and we turned our watches back an hour. We didn't leave the plane at the Rome airport. An hour on the ground, then we took off for London. We were there at 6:30 a m. and our watches were turned back another hour. “If you like Nairobi, you’ll love London,” so said someone in our group, and surely this is right. We landed at expansive Heathrow Airport and were bussed to the Heathrow Sheraton for a fivehour rest and breakfast. Then back to Heathrow where we boarded a Jumbo 747 (the only flight in a 747 on this trip) and we were off for JFK in New York. Due to the shape of the earth, we left Londontown and flew north, across Glasgow, Scotland, past the tip of Iceland and Greenland, then there was Newfoundland, and finally New York was in sight. Flight time from London to New York: seven hours and forty minutes. And it was here that the party broke up. We were all together fordaiming bags, and then most everyone went his separate direction. Ours proved to be a United flight to Cleveland for a plane change, then to South Bend Crossing the Atlantic we set our watches back four hours again, and another hour from New York to South Bend. In all, we had an eight-hour time variable since leaving Nairobi... and you think time-lag didn’t set in! In all, we noted we had flown some 35,000 miles and had taken off end landed 48 times. We were met at South Bend by sister-in-law Edith, daughter-in-law Gloria, and two of the brightest little grandchildren any grandparents would ever want to encounter. It was a happy reunion. At home bags went unopened until morning. In the few moments it took Arch to brush his teeth and climb the 21 steps to the bedroom loft, Della was already sound asleep. There’s something great about a transcontinental trip like we just took. But there's also something great about one's home, however humble. We wouldn’t miss either one for the world THE END Mrs. Dean Dowty, Phil and Ed of Syracuse. Mrs. Oliver Replogle and Mrs. Noble Fisher and Rex. all of Milford, attended the Donkey basketball game at Wawasee high school on Monday evening.

When the new sewer lines are laid the current sewer system will serve as a storm sewer. Current requirements call for separate storm and sanitarysewers in all towns. Waler Rates Former town board president Carl Duncan asked if the proposed sewer rates had been approved by the Public Service Commission and was told that they did not have to be approved by that commission. Only water rates must be approved by the PSC and at the present time while the board is studying an increase in water charges no such increase has been proposed This question and its answer brought about several questions on the town’s water system. Board members explained that they were also working on updating the water system which is thought to have been installed in 1902. The current system, Miller said, is very old and very inefficient. Modest Rates Mr, Umbaugh told those present the rates being asked for sewage treatment are modest. He did add that when the new sewer lines are installed these rates will necessarily be increased but even double rates would be average or below average. He said the $4 minimum charge for those not on the water system would compare with charges of from sl2 to sls made by many towns and the $2 minimum for those on the town water supply compares to $6 or $7 in other towns. Townspeople were also told the board is not in full control of the rate structure as the Environmental Protection Agency has certain requirements that must be made. The EPA is providing the federal grant monies for the project. Grant $279,450 It was in February of 1973 that the town accepted a $279,450

Construction began in late summer and is to be completed, according to the bids and specification requirement, within one year. The new facilities which consist of a big pond and two smaller pools are located on 10 acres of land west of Milford formerlybelonging to Fred Schori. Long Struggle Obtaining sewage treatment facilities for the town of Milford has been a long struggle. At the present time the town is dumping raw sewage into Turkey Creek. It was in 1963 that the civil and sanitary firm of Baxter and Woodman from Crystal Lake, 111., was hired to draw plans for a sewage treatment plant for the town. ‘ Plans were drawn for a sewage treatment plant and a federal

That grant was received in February 1973 and the meeting Monday put Milford one step closer to having a sanitary sewage system in operation.
