Kool-Aid. however, persons who want to purchase a popsickle must wait a few minutes while one of the boys rushes into the family's house to secure one from the freezer After all. what chance would a popsickle have in 90 degree weather* Thad and Eric are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Grove of Milford. THE FRESH air children at the Donn D. Kesler home are Neal and Titus Miles They have been

enjoying the country living, made a trip to the circus at Peru and spent the past week end camping with the Keslers Neal is 11 and his younger brother is nine. They were delighted when they spotted a deer during the early morning hours as they were driving from Fort Wayne to the Kesler home last week. MEMBERS OF Our Town’s United Methodist church enjoyed a recent week end camp-out at the lake with church services being held at the park on Sundaymorning. RUTH ANGEL, a secretary at Wawasee high school, has joined Fort Wayne school teacher Brenda Douchett on a six week trip to London. England and Scotland. The pair left last Tuesday and plan to study while in Scotland. CONNIE (MRS. Rain) Smith is proud of her youngsters They are taking swimming lessons this summer and young Ryan, three, cried everytime he got close to the Wawasee high school pool. Then one day last week they missed a class. The next day Ryan took to the water like he had been swimming for a long time and with the help of the protective float the youngsters wear he swam the length of the pool. The same day his sister. Angie, six. swam the length of the pool and back While another mother said she was not claiming her youngsters that day Connie quickly pointed to hers and said. “Those two are mine!" WE RECEIVED a call from Inez Beiswanger about the photos at the top of last week s column She helped us trace part of the history of the Fuller family. Mary Ellen Hall being the link we were looking for. Family records

show Sylvester Hall was the father of Mary Ellen. Mary Ellen married Cyrus Fuller. They were the parents of James P. Fuller, Sr. Mrs. Beiswanger also confirmed our guess that the young man in the third photo was James Fuller. She said, however, her records show the home now owned by the Richard Felkners was built by the James P. Fullers and not the I. H. Halls as the old record book found in Michigan showed THE MILFORD library staff is reminding the youngsters in the area that the summer reading club closes on Friday. Treats and other items will be passed out at the library from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. next Wednesday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Friday for all who have read 10 or more books. THE PONY League players of Our Town had an interesting experience Monday night when the opposing team from Mentone arrived at the Milford ball park It seems the Mentone team was lacking some players so added to its line-up the coach's daughter. Cathy Welch. She not only proved to be an excellent second baseman (basewomen?) but pitched the last innings of the game (and we’re told third baseman A.B. would be able to tell how it feels to be “struck out" by a girl!) The Milford boys were elated with their 14-4 victory but still had to admit that Cathy was the best player on the opposing team. RECENTLY OVERHEARD were these remarks from ‘cattle and horse rancher' Duane Wiggs of near Our Town It would seem he has had a few problems keeping his cattle fenced in! "My cows are very friendly and love to travel all over the countryside — just stop one and check its passport!" He also suggests his neighbor's goodlooking bull doesn't help this situation. Duane and his wife Irma and their three children. Greg. Lori and Jon reside on the “Windhill Ranch" east of Milford. ADDING UP Since the first 747 went into service January-, 1970, Boeing superjets have made more than 425,000 revenue flights and will pass the half-million mark in April, 1974, at the present rate.

Park needs attendant

Dear Editor: Yes, let’s give our park visitors another sen-ice. (Food) Last night a picnic table was deliberately stomped and broken up by a group in the approximate age bracket of eight to 14 years old. It was reported but culprits not found. Late in the evening I was told by an observer that she saw them running and laughing into a nearby resort. We taxpayers are paying to provide and maintain a clean deceit park, mostly used by out-of-town people. Their benefits include free parking, free boat docking (some all week), free tables, stoves and new restrooms soon. Now we are providing another source of trash to add to the beer and pop cans, plastic bags, fish worm containers, paper cups and plates, etc., found in our channels and lakes. If all the above listed is available, why not charge a fee?? Taking the revenue from food concession, boat docking, tables, etc., and hire a responsible
