THE M-J received an unsigned letter this week from a person who signed his or her name as “A sport fan and a youth fan.** It is well written and we would liked to have printed it as a “Letter to the Editor," but because the person was not enough of a “fan’\ to sign his or her name we were triable to do so. Letters to the editor must be signed when we receive them, but If requested we do not have to print the name. It is needed for our file according to today's laws. This is to let the writer know that efforts have been made to get information like you requested in The Mail-Journal from all the junior high schools in the Lakeland system Those in charge of sports activities during the school year at Milford have turned in little or no news for several years. In former years (about !• years ago) when the coaches did not cooperate in these matters some of the parents helped by getting the bare facts and we wrote them and published them. Parents also reminded us when there was something special that needed a picture. We tried to cooperate, j ■■ ■ We do not cover all functions because it is an impossibility The information we have about other schools is sent to us or brought into one of our offices by school staff members or parents The letter was taken to the Milford junior high school and principal Marian Acton made copies and arranged for them to go to appropriate personnel at the school.

We are always willing to print news items: after all. that's our business. ’ However, as stated before it’s impossible to cover every happening personally. A PERSON inquired at our office this week about Hie location of a business office’ in Milford She had been told it was at the “blinkin’ light” at the Catherine street and Main street junction. This turned out to! be poor directions because the light at that corner isn't blinking. She found the light at Main and Emetine and started looking there.

Schafer moved into their new large animal clinic at the north edge of town. Old Story Worth Repeating There was a man who lived by the side of the road and sold hot dogs He was hard of hearing, so he had no radio. He had trouble with his eyes, so he read no newspapers. But he sold good hot dogs. He put signs on the highway

telling how good they were. He stood by the side of the road and cried. “Buy a hot dog. Mister." People bought. He increased his meat and roll orders. He bought a bigger stove. He finally got his son home from college to help him out. But. then something happened. His son said, "Father, haven’t you been listening to the radio? There’s a big depression coming an. The European situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse.” That made his Father think: “Weil, my son’s been to college, he reads the papers, and he listens to the radio. af!d he ought to know.” So, the father cut down on his meat and roll orders, took down his advertising signs, and ... no longer bothered to stand by the highway to sell his good hot dogs. Sales fell fast, almost overnight. “You’re right. Son,” the father said to the boy. “We certainly are in the middle of a great depression.” “There just isn't any business" ... Need we point out the moral? — copied from Middlebury Independent. A NUMBER OF college students were in town over the week end. Guests of Kim Augsburger. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B.

Town attorney Robert Reed will prepare specifications for a garbage and trash pick-up for the town’s homes and business places, including the newly annexed areas, that bids can be received at the board’s March 4th meeting. Attorney Reed also pointed out that he had a telephone conservation with a Mr. Cooney of the Indiana Public Service Commission to the effect that the town’s flat rate charge for water

service would be ruled discriminatory. Mr. Cooney recommended to attorney Reed that if the town does not have a fund to purchase water meters, that a cumulative fund be started as soon as possible, to implement a meter system for the town’s water department. Clerk-treasurer Betty Dust told the board that the town’s tax levy this year stands at $2.42 per SIOO of taxable valuation, “just pennies below the previous year.” Re-Appoint Dee Stiver The board corrected an oversight, that of the term of Dee Stiver on the Board of Zoning Appeals which expired Dec. 31, 1974, and re-appointed Mr. Stiver for an additional four-year term.. Board member Carl Myrick said he had contacted Ronald Sharp concerning the value of the towm’s pumping turbine, and found Sharp was no longer president of the county historical society. He said Sharp would inquire at a future meeting of the society to see if there is any interest in preserving the old pumping turbine. Chief of police Dale Sparklin said the old truck on Parkway drive will be removed this week, and that trash burning behind Klink's store will be reduced by half through a different method of burning trash. He also said the park board is preparing for the coming season at its several parks, citing several small items needed. Robert Farber of the street department said New Paris Tractor Sales told him parts would be in next week for the town’s tractor, and said the solid state ignition on the tractor is “shot." He said it would cost S4OO to fix it, and recommended against fixing the unit. He also said the old mower would not last more than another year. Fire chief Larry Weaver asked the board to approve printing of first aid and fire calls forms, and he was given authority to purchase 500 of each. The board also authorized Jack Hile, a calendar firm representative, to sell advertising in the community for a police calendar. Mr. Hile said 100 1976 calendars would be distributed in October or November, carrying 10 ads at $39.50 each. I don't know of any major problem in living that can be settled in two hours. — Alec Guinness
