Pena was named rookie of the year. Jay Auer won the sportsmanship award. Gary Bray won the pitching award and Dave Meade was named most valuable player. IF YOU have never walked down the streets of a small town early in the morning you are missing an experience which is almost unique in today’s busy world.. With the gas shortage several who reside in Milford and work uptown have been walking to work lately. Gas is saved, the workers gain needed exercise time by walking and there are additional parking places in the business district. One morning last week this reporter found a young girl reading on the lawn of the junior high school AU else was quiet. Many people are not up and around and the birds can be

heard singing through the quietness. Now and then a car or truck passes as others head for their places of employment too. In the next block we Iva Neff as she worked on her lawn while it was yet cool. We have long thought her flowers are among the prettiest in town and such a delight to see in this hot. dry weather. Across the street someone was working in a garden. One lone bicycle rider passes by. Again, quietness. Main street too is quiet as the businesses have not yet opened. Soon, all will come to life and the town will lose it’s quiet charm and become the town most of us know throughout the day. NEW THINGS are happening at Sharp Hardware where improvements are being made and a new front put on the store. Painting is underway at Augsburger’s Food Palace on the highway. It is a deep forest green in color. Additions continue at ChoreTime and The M-J First Charter is established in the old telephone building on Main street and Drs. Miller and Schaffer are in their new building on SR IS north of town. RON BAUMGARTNER has taken up the Cystic Fibrosis cause and with the support of The M-J employees he has agreed to swim across Lake Wawasee for the cause Sharyn O’Hare and Mary Ann Murphy are general chairwomen of the event which will take place on August 24. In all nine have agreed to swim across the lake for the research foundation. Others will swim 20 laps between two piers at Wawasee Prep. QUESTION FOUND in the Methodist Chimes is. “Billy Haab. tell us about who it was you beat at golf?** We’d like to know too, Billy, if you decide to answer the question. PAUL AND Joe Sands recently participated in a mission project at John's Island, N.C. We thank God for the recent rain ... it was needed!
