county. While considerable damage was reported at Atwood, Leesburg, Dewart Lake and Syracuse the town of Milford suffered only from the lack of electricity for 45 minutes during the early evening hours during the rain which accompanied the storm. Many persons in the county and near-by area weren’t as fortunate with much damage and many without electricity for an extended period of time. Many persons pitched in to help clean up the mess and we hesitate to mention names for fear of missing some. We do think it fitting and proper, however, to mention the fact that Jon Treesh, a Wawasee high school senior, spent part of his spring vacation in Atwood relaying messages to relatives of persons there via radio to Warsaw. A NOTE from Noble W. Hollar at Syracuse says the photo we ran in last week’s paper was of the piano students of Jesse (McDonald) Young and was taken about 1910 at the house which was located next to the drug store... it was torn down sometime ago to make way for the parking lot which is there now. Mrs. Hollar (Bess Stiver) is shown in the center of the picture with the dark dress. Also shown are Doo Vanderveer (he’s in the back row), Gladys (Sheline) Weaver. Carrie •(McClures) Barthoimew, Bernice (Cart) Vnger. Louise (Vail) Lentx, Dr. Young. Ralph Neff. Gordon Hammond and Ruth Erick. We thank the Hollars for the photo and for the information.

She is the little girl in the second row with the big bow in her hair. Twins Letha and Lillian Ireland are ip the back row and can be identified by their big bows.

Sewer plans — (Continued from page 1) Brundy of the sewage treatment plant construction company, clerk-treasurer Harry Schultz and town board president Dr. T. A. Miller had met earlier in the day to discuss problems with the construction. There is peat on the site of the pumping station on the west side of town. If improvements are made so that the pump can be installed on the site it would cost the town $4,100. This was tabled and a second site about 150 feet to the east is being investigated. If this site is used it will cost approximately $1,500 to extend the force main, however, some sewage lines would be eliminated so the cost in the long run would be about equal. The investigation of this site will continue immediately with a survey to be done over the coming week end if possible. Board members agreed this was the best solution, however, board member Norm Lovell asked if there was an alternate solution and was told if peat is found on that site too the entire problem would have to be re-investigated and the site moyed elsewhere. Brundy, submitted written notice that because of the delay at the site and because of the wet weather conditions of the fall and winter it might be impossible for him to finish the project within the required 365 days in the contract. Board members said this could very well be if a wet summer sets in, however, if the spring is dry the project could be finished in time.

TO , THE EDITOR

The storm is over

Dear Editor: The storm is over. It came and went like a spring rain. It left in its wake, memories that will stay in mind for a long time. Looking at the ruins on our way out of town this week end, two pictures that? stand out in my mind are those of two mobile homes. One was plucked violently from its place and smashed along the highway. The other hurled and wrapped around a pole. How those families escaped more serious injuries, only God knows. I also realize that when a tornado strikes that no matter what type of home one has, one is not always spared. While we have donated clothes and food for the people in last week’s tragedy and still felt there was more to be done, and while I have not seen the destruction of the mobile home park on Dewart

Express gratitude

Dear Editor: May we take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the many who did so much in our recent tornado damage. We can never adequately express our thanks to the many firms, churches, organizations and individuals who did so much in helping us clean up our battered and debris strewn town. To attempt to single out anyone individual or group would surely seem to exclude so many other

Why some, not all

Dear Editor: I would like to comment about the athletes and spring vacation this year. It seems as though, if you were fortunate to have a parent or parents to take you on a trip for an extra week before or after > spring vacation, you were excused from the week of school a student misses. If a student was not that fortunate, they had to take a third cut in grades or take F’s for the time they missed. Also, if you were an athlete and took an extra week with your parent you can t Sustain injuries in auto mishap Mrs. J. L. Workman, 21, r 3 Syracuse and driver of a 1971 Chevrolet, sustained a slight concussion and a nose injury in a two car collision at Main and Pike streets in Goshen last Thursday evening. Desiree Miller, 16, Middlebury and driver of a 1969 Pontiac, received an injury to her back. Passengers in the Miller auto, Janet Milla-, 18, Middlebury, and Michael Weaver, 23, r 2 White Pigeon, Mich., received treatment for a laceration of the forehead, and contusions of the hip, pelvis and elbow, respectively Another passenger, David Grimes, Goshen, was not hurt. Investigating officers reported the Miller auto attempted a left turn onto Pike and collided with the oncoming Workman/ auto which was southbound on Main.

Lake, I don’t have to see to feel that something could be done for the people who live in mobile homes. I would like to see some legislation, some action, maybe a bill passed making mobile home parks safe. For our children, theirs, and for everyone who lives in one. A law which states that mobile home parks could provide storm shelters for its owners, perhaps. I am a taxpayer, we all are, and our tax dollars go for many things, the space program, the Viet Nam war, and Watergate. We provide for the raises in pay for our Congress, or our state legislators. Why not? The storm is over, but the memories of destruction, of death, and scars will be on our minds and,in our hearts for a long time. Eileen Crews r 2 Syracuse

wonderful people. We thank God that it wasn’t worse and there were no deaths or serious injuries. We thank the townspeople for their help and patience during these trying times. We thank the many in the community for their help in returning our town to a place of which we can all be proud. Again thanks to you all. Leesburg Town Board Frank Rader Dewey Dye Wayne E. Teeple

participate in sports, but if you went on vacation with friends you get to sit on the bench for the first game qf sports, unless you are looking over colleges. What we parents would like to kjjow is when is a student to take vacation and why some students can be penalized and others not. Why does it make such a big difference how, where, or who a student spends the extra week of vacation with? The way it looks to me, a vacation is a vacation no matter whether you spend it with your folks, friends or family. Name withheld I by request

Milford junior high school wins no-accident award

Milford junior high school recently was honored with a noaccident certificate by the Chicago Motor Club-AAA. The school was recognized for its record of no-accidents during the last school year at intersections patrolled by members of the school safety patrol. This makes the sixth successive year the school has maintained a perfect accident record. The motor club’s no-accident awards are designed to call attention to the lifesaving work of the school safety patrols. Since pioneering the school safety patrol movement in 1920, the Chicago Motor Club-AAA has made the patrol one of its principal traffic safety activities. Through the years, the patrol is credited with the saving of more than 19,000 children's lives in the club’s Illinois-Indiana territory alone. Motor club president Gerald W.

Cavanagh, in praising the awardwinning school, said that the “school safety patrol movement is based on the idea that young people are dependable and capable of. leadership if given proper guidance.’’ He pointed out that the “splendid record of the patrol in its more than halfcentury of service has fully rewarded the motor club for its faith in our youngsters.”
