EVEN THOUGH Winter is still officially a month away it is making an early attempt at taking over before December 21. It began to snow last Wednesday afternoon and the white flakes fell throughout the day and night. By Thursday morning there was approximately one foot of snow on the ground. It clung to trees and wires and: made the area truly a “Winter Wonderland." Electricity was off in Milford for one hour during the night or early morning hours as a limb fell over the wires The results proved interesting:

Alarm* all over town, set for 6 or 7 a.m. went off at 7 or 8 a.m. While employees of factories and shops who lived miles away made it to work on time, those who lived in town were one hour late. More than one unsuspecting citizen wondered what the sun was doing up at 6 a m since it is usually dark at that hour of the morning this time of year Double checking clocks throughout the homes, however, revealed nothing unusual. Radio announcers were even unhelpful as they reported the time to be 10 minutes past the hour’ Which hour’

Telephone lines were busy between 7 and 8:30 a.m. as bosses attempted to find employees and employees attempted to find their bosses. One employee called her boss when he failed to show and was confronted with “I wondered what Captain Kangaroo was doing on television at 7:20 a m.” .Another employee, quite often late for work, answered the telephone when her boss called in to say he would be late! One woman had her husband take her to work then made him take her home again because she had worn her boots and forgot to take shoes along to wear at the office. Even the school buses were reporting to the school on a later than usual basis. One person who definitely did not oversleep was John Martin, street and water commissioner. By the time the townspeople were up and about he had most of the Streets and sidewalks cleaned. A job well done! NOW THAT the snow has arrived the teepeeing season is unofficially over*. We know of at least one young man who is happy that winter has arrived As we understand it he protected his home well until one evening when a group of high school kids paid a visit with their colorful rolls Hearing a noise he thought a gang of boys was at work, opened the door with nothing oo but his undershorts and was surprised by girls! Anyone doubt that he is happy the ‘season” is over. FRIENDLY 808 Auer, pro at the Maxwelton golf club, is busy

BUD AND Jeri Seely were in Goshen on Saturday night and had a delightful chat with one of the businessmen in that city and his wife. The couple.

Slabaugh. Sarah and Mrs. Herbert (Edith) Baumgartner of Our Town returned to Milford on Sunday after two-weeks in the 50th state. MERLIN H. Wertenberger. a resident of Monroe township and county councilman-at-large for the past 12 years, attended his last meeting of the council on Saturday. He claims this distinction: He never missed a council meeting in the three-term hitch, nor did he miss a state meeting which pertained to the operation of county business. He was president of the council and a strong advocate of Governor Bowen’s tax relief program (local option tax). He was defeated by just more than 200 votes in the spring primary when only 27 per cent of the voters voted. He claims, when he took office Kosciusko county had an average tax rate among other counties in the state, and when he left office it had the lowest in the state (72c). j Wertenberger said since the spring election he and his wife have had several hundred calls and letters urging him to seek reelection to the cowcil. He admits to not having closed his mind to this possibility. THERE WILL be venison on the table at the Richard Felkner home this winter.
