Z MAD day 1 at Milford is opener for summer

Once again the sun smiled on Milford’s “MAD day” as the summer season was officially opened by the Memorial day holiday. “MAD day" is one day of fun for the people of the Milford community. Activities begin with the morning parade, sponsored by the American Legion and the services at the cemetery and continue into the mid-afternoon hours. After clouds hung over the area early Monday morning, the sun shown through as the parade, the largest in a number of years, moved out. And, even though clouds kept coming back the rains, which were predicted, did not come it was a beautiful day for community fun. Following the parade the community paused to pay tribute to those who have given their lives for this country The day’s speaker was George R. Morton, Sr., past department commander of the Indiana department of American Legion. Then, the fun began with members of the Milford Area

UIBKU-O RIDING THE FIRE TRUCK — Annually the youngsters of Milford are treated to a ride on the fire truck during the Memorial day parade. Shown above are a number of youngsters on one of the town’s trucks.

With Memorial day behind us we find otrselves faced with the beginning of the lake season and 13 weeks of summer sun to contend with. Each summer the population of the Lakeland area swells to mbelievabie numbers as people come from the cities of the area to escape the heat and make their homes by the cooler shore of the area's lakes. Officially summer does not arrive imtil June 1 ... but don’t try and tell that to anyone from the Lakeland area. It started Here’s how to organize your f boat club Boating is one of America’s fastest growing participant sports, and the sudden increase in the number of fishing clubs, water ski clubs and cruising clubs across North America bears this out. A club offers many advantages over "going it alone." Members can share tips on boat cruises, fishing hot spots, camping and picnic sites, docking areas, and other useful information. And, of course, there is the extra fun of joining up with others on boating excursions. If you would like to start a boat club in your area her£ are some suggestions from the Johnson Outboards News Bureau. • Make a list of interested people. The various marinas, outboard and boat dealerships in your area will probably know some people to contact; in fact the dealers themselves are likely members. • Set a date for an organizational meeting and pass the word. Your favorite marina may lend you a meeting room. • A temporary chairman can set up committees to draft a set of bylaws and to help set a reasonable amount for dues. • At the second meeting the bylaws should be discussed and then voted on. Pick a name. • Incorporating the club is not always necessary but there are some advantages that should be considered. But, incorporated or not, your group is now organized for more fun on the water. Get going.
