The Column I f ’■ ■ . ■ ■ ' > , A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

WE ARE using Santa Claus at the top of the column this week to remind everyone that Christmas is near and so is the deadline for Mental Health gifts When you join with your family on December 25 to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child and to exchange gifts will your Christmas be a little merrier because you have shared with others? Many people at the Fort Wayne state school don't have loved ones to share with. They don’t receive anything at Christmas unless people like you and people like me remember them. Os course, gifts should be new. They should be unbreakable (no glass bottles or sharp edges > and can range from clothing to something as simple as combs, brushes, coloring books and the like. Names are also available at both M-J offices for persons who would like to purchase a gift or gifts that an individual has asked for Gifts should be marked and wrapped and should be brought to The M-J office prior to November 14 to allow for time to transport gifts to the hospital and for volunteers to pick the right gift for the right person. Won’t you make your Christmas a happier one by giving a gift to the Mental Health Program ihis Christmas? THE E. C. Baileys of Our Town, are really "Loved" if that’s what teepeeing means.

Youngs menu this winter! DURING THE past week we have received several comments on the Halloween party held at the junior high school and trick-or-treating in Milford. While all liked one night of trick-or-treating all agreed the festival and the trick-or-treating night should be on different nights , Praise was given to MC Betty Scott (Mrs. Slant who dressed up for the occasion and did a good job at the school. One mother said she thought the groups should be divided different — "Hobos should compete with hobos, witches with witches, etc.,” she said. "How does a monster compete with a bride and groom’” .All in all. it seems like some thought should be given to the Hallowren activities in Our Town for another year! Persons with additional ideas or comments on Halloween should contact Lions, legion and auxiliary or Milford town board.
