Mrs Roscoe Coy will be moving into the vacated Price home on South Main street around the first of August and Mr. and Mrs. George Auer will be" moving into the Coy residence at Emeline and Henry streets. So far the Auers have not sold their farm but we hear this is in the offing.. REPORTER Garrett Fajjan sends a clipping again this week. It is from the LA Times sport section on July 1 and is titled NAMES IN THE NEWS — the quote follows: **O. J. Simpson was honored as 1973 King of Sports at dedication ceremonies of the International Palace of Sports at North Webster. Ind. Last year’s winner was Mark Spitz.

- THIS WEEK’S HEADLINE is ’’Helpful Hannah Shakes Apart Watch.” As we heard it on Friday one of the guests at a new swimming pool in Milford got an unexpected dunking by Ron B. Mother Della runs to rescue the watch that the victim has on and when making an effort to shake the water out of it, she shook it apart. Thus begins the hunt for the crystal and hands off the watch. They were found. The timepiece went to the watch doctor on Friday. Moral: Don’t dunk watches, only people. THE,OLE’ WEST ain’t what it used to be, or so it seems. Recently Roy (Terry Musselman) Rogers and Stan (Gene Autry) Stump were seen riding horseback double, much to the dislike of the animal. When the horse tried to buck the pair of cowboys (?) off his back Terry grabbed a branch off a tree to try to swing down. Much to his surprise the branch was dead, broke when he grabbed it and left our cowboy lying flat on his back on the ground. As we hear it there must have been a pool ouster there, too. Doggone varmints just won’t let a person have a peaceful ride anymore. IMS MHS graduate Penny Clark left for a summer in Europe on June 29. She spent the week end in New York visiting relatives of friends and on July 2 left by plane for France. While in France she will studv the French language, cooking and culture. The program she is on was arranged by an organization in Pennsylvania for college students and young adults.

In August she will set out with two girl friends to tour some of the continent with a pack on her back and peddling away part of the time, so we hear. She plans to return to the states by ship early in September. Penny, who is a beautician, has recently resigned from a job she held in Fort Wayne. Her tentative plans are to return to California to live when she gets back in the USA. She previously had lived out that way for sometime before working in Fort Wayne. Penny is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ren Clark. Speaking of the Clarks, they recently returned from a family vacation at Mackinac Island where a good time was had by all. VACATION FEVER has struck most of us since the warm weather. We are a wee bit envious of our editor who is living it up in Hawaii this week. c Some people have all the luck. ACCORDING TO the Indiana Employment Security division report for the week ending June 29 new claims filed jumped 5.1 per cent from the week before. They mention however that continued claims dropped 4 6 per cent during the same period. This still looks like an increase in unemployment of one half per cent for the week as we see it. WHEN YOU ATTEND Enchanted Hills this year to see “Sweet Charity” and “Fiddler On The Roof” be sure to take a peek at the orchestra You will see Milford’s Becky Replogle playing the flute and-or piccolo. IS MY FACE RED? Last week we had a note to check with June Spearman about Lorenc’s participating in the State Junior Olympics and how she did in the sectional. This was along with news about how the state is organized. We did just that, we checked with a busy June. She told us what happened to Lorene and her plans. She did not mention other community youths involved. Our little note had only Lorene’s name on it so others in our town got left out. Please accept humble apology for not knowing better. We dare not even mention names at this point because we might miss someone who was eligible for state but chose not to enter. See article in this issue of how the area youngsters did at the state meet in Fort Wayne. We can

be proud! IT’S A BIRD, no it’s a plane was the expression used by several persons west of Milford on June 29 when a homemade plane set down in a field of beans. near the Robert Wolferman home. The plane, a homemade one with a German engine on the outside, was en route to Mishawaka where it was to be on display at a fly-in breakfast on the 30th. It was pulled from the field into the Wolferman yard. ? On Sunday the owners, (we could not learn their names), mounted the plane on a boat trailer and took off down the road. First, however, they took off the wings and folded them and put them in racks that were built on the trailer for that purpose. The people had been using the Larry Kirkendorfer farm for their landing strip and ttHal runs with the machine. Sounds like more trials are needed. BLOODMOBILE TIME in Van Buren township is nearly here again. The date is Monday, July 29, time, 12 noon to 6 p.m., place, the Apostolic Christian church fellowship hall. Blood is urgently needed as always over the summer months. Contact Mrs. Edith Baumgartner if you can help call for appointments. She is township blood chairman for the Red Cross. Milford banker John Clay is crowing aloud, and rightly he should be. John got a coveted hole-in-one on No. 15 at Rozella Ford golf course at Warsaw on Sunday. June 30. “Who was along to vouch for him?” we asked. His reply. “My son John 8.. brother-in-law Richard Morris and his son Rick.

'•** •*<£■*?* *' < I ■ - *• ■ READY FOR THE BIG ‘BANG’ — This year’s Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce traditional fireworks, held at the city park, turned out to be one of the best — and it could be the last. A federal law banning fireworks will take effect next year, but it isn’t clear whether or not the new law will apply to a public display such as has been enjoyed by many thousands at Syracuse this year and in years past. The display this year was one of the best, but the evening air turned cool towards the end. which was about 10 p.m. Hundreds of boats came from the several lakes to watch the colorful display from the water, while other thousands lined city park and the cottage lakefront locations. Cecil McCoy of South Bend is shown on thl left in this photo putting final touches to the “Welcome” display the first to be set off. He represents the Princess Fireworks Company of South Bend. With him is Terry Schrock of the Syracuse civil defense unit on duty during the evening. The display featured 11 ground fireworks features. McCoy said, and mans aerial displays.

on talent, beauty, poise and personality.” Over 100 communities will be sending delegates to this annual state-wide event. Our girls will not only be gaining incentive, but will be practicing good sportsmanship, experiencing friendships and the talents of their peers as well as joining girls of all races, colors, and creeds on a common ground. This is truly a youth development program. The age of the contestant on December 31.1974 will determine which age division she will compete in. A phonograph will be provided at the auditions. All other sources of music must be brought to the audition.
