MEMBERS OF the Milford ' town board are seeking state help in seeking away to slow down traffic on Main street. At the present time the only stop on the entire section of Main is the stop sign at the north edge of town. Among the items discussed are the installation of more stops signs (four-way) along Main street; a traffic light at the intersection of Main and Emeline, where blind spots have existed for years; the purchase of a radar gun to help the town marshal slow down traffic, the installation of speed bumps along the Main street; and the police car being on Mam street oftener RAY FLOYD of Miami, who won the Masters' golf tolf tournament at Augusta. Ga.. Sunday while millions watched on television, gives full credit for the win to a custom-made five-wood. He was quick to name the man who made the club which became his favorite He was Don Boyd. Hollywood club-maker Floyd said, "The club cost me around S2B. wholesale to me It has a small head and gives more loft " Boyd is well known in the Milford area, being married to the former Delores Slabaugh of Milford. He summers in Milford and plays the area golf courses and is becoming increasingly well known as "the old pro" to his many friends here. A NICE note comes from Nancy and Bob Willson from.

Financial — (Continued from page 1) county road 48. a mile and a half east of county road 33. appeared to object to the rezoning petition. Cable is a successful farmer and a director of the State Bank of Syracuse, attorney Duffin noted “for the record.” Cable told the board he owns more shares in the Salem Bank than he does in the State Bank of Syracuse. He said the fact that he owns stock in the Syracuse bank has nothing to do with his objections. "I just don't want to see Benton township commercialized or industrialized," he told The MailJournal this week. He said it has always been an agricultural township and he wanted to see it kept that way. Cable pointed out that the only commercial enterprises in Benton township at the present time are the Elko Mobile" Home Park north of Syracuse, Monarch Industries and Syracuse Products, located on road 13 north of Syracuse, the town of Benton and part of the town of Millersburg. , He said he felt sure the Goshen real estate firm would erect an office building to serve as real estate offices and-or ’ a professional building. He also said he heard rumors that the realtors would plot out a 10-acre tract for homes in the same area. Ridenoure said his bank would dredge out a low area just north of the site they propose to use for a bank and make it into a small lake. Home sites around the proposed lake are a real possibility. The Goshen bank plans a branch like their bank in New Paris, and would hope to begin work in 45 days if approval on a state level is forthcoming. Recognizing a widening financial market in the Lakeland community, the State Bank of Syracuse several years ago embarked on a program to better service customers in the outlying area A branch bank was built in Wawasee Village in 1973. known as the Village Branch, and in 1974 the Fish Hatchery Branch was opened. In North Webster. Too North Webster has experienced the same growth in its financial community, with the Counting House Bank rebuilding and enlarging its facility as part of the International Palace of Sports. The Lake City Bank of Warsawbuilt a branch on road 13 on the north edge of North Webster and the Warsaw’ Federal Savings & Loan Association has opened a branch in the Mid-Lakes Shopping Center at the south edge of North Webster. 3 buildings — (Continued from page 1) hold a special meeting next Wednesday.

fire chief Bill Lehman and Van Buren township trustee Walter Wuthrich can be present for the meeting. Wuthrich was at the meeting Monday and confirmed he could attend the Wednesday meeting. Approval was given for an additional appropriation to allow all fire department bills to be paid from one account. Previously the heat, lights, gas. etc. appropriations came from those funds and not the fire department fund Board members approved the request of street, water and sewer commissioner John Martin for the purchase of a lawn mower to be used at town-owned property in Milford and at Waubee Lake. Martin is to obtain prices on same and report back to the board next Wednesday. Miller complimented Martin on the condition of the town's streets and the sewer plant. Brooks again discussed the right-of-way change he had proposed at the last meeting — the B and O railroad giving way to the Penn Central — since the Penn Central train is currently blocking crossings in Milford. A train was timed at approximately- 45 minutes last week Railroad officials have been questioned as to why the trains can’t stop outside of town instead of blocking town streets at a time when school students are trying to make their way home Attorney Reed is to send a letter to see if this right-of-way can be changed or what can be done to end the blockage. Board members objected to payment of a statement in excess of $5,500 for an operations manual for the sewage treatment plant: Miller said if a person purchases a lawn mower he gets a manual. If a tractor is purchased, an operator's manual is also given to the purchaser, however, the town is being forced to purchase an operator’s manual to go with the sewage plant. A letter will be sent to the town's engineering firm. Baxter and Woodman of Crystal Lake, 111., voicing objections. The clerk was instructed not to pay the statement at this time Tow n marshal Mel Jot dan questioned the board on painting a section of Emeline street curbing yellow The section is already marked no parking by a sign, however, persons are parking there and stating they can not see the sign. If the section were yellow, he said, the problem would* be eliminated. All board members agreed to the painting Traffic Slow Down A lengthy discussion was held on slowing traffic down on Main street and on the blind intersection at Main and Emeline Alan Coy was present at the meeting and said he feared for the kids on Main street with the fast traffic. Mrs Treesh will see if contact can't be made with the state for

help in the best way to control traffic. During the discussion board members talked about purchase of a radar gun which is expensive. using four-way stops at a number of intersections along Main street, installing a stop light at Emeline and Main which would also be expensive, installing speed bumps to slow traffic and member Brooks said the best traffic control he could think of would be having the police car in sight oftener. s 2 bills - (Continued from page 1) receive any $2 bills until this morning and in the first 10 minutes distributed 13. The Village branch received its $2 bills at 2:30 p.m. and had sold 100 by 4 p.m. The Counting House Bank at North Webster and the Peoples State Bank at Leesburg are both closed on Wednesday and no tally was available this, morning Post Offices Busy Too Because it was a first day issue persons were going from the banks to the post offices where with the purchase of a 13 cent stamp they could have the bills cancelled as first day issues. The most popular stamp being the one featuring the Betsy Ross flag and Independence hall. The Milford post office started its day by stamping and cancelling 100 of the $2 bills for one customer The remainder of the day was termed "busy, busy" by postmaster Paul Kizer with an estimated 350 of the bills being cancelled. At North Webster Emogene Menzie stated there was a steady flow of persons at the post office all day with around 500 being cancelled. No tally was available from the Syracuse post office.

Natural Resources The speaker added that the scientists w-ork with the department of natural resources, which has control over public waters in the state. The property owners president Praised the “local approach" in solving local problems on the lakes. "Everyone in this room should be concerned with the future of our lakes,” he told the Rotarians. • "because they represent a way of life, or a livelihood, or both, to all of us. Working together we can solve the problems and we must be the interested parties; we cannot expect folks in other, distant parts of the state to have interest equal to ours.”

They have the anchor set in concrete and its heavy with corrosion, showing an obvious long period of being under water. The Sudlows paid $l5O for the anchor and claim they got a real bargain. What makes John and Ann Sudlow come up with these ideas, to give their home a uniqueness in a community of outstanding homes? "Well", says John, “I don't drink or smoke and I have to do something with my time.” It's as good an answer as we can think of.
