Milford. They even have a Milford Savings and Loan in that Indiana town, a mortuary, and one is an attorney. We do hope since he is a new subscriber he will read this column and visit Marion the next time he is in Indiana. He may find some relatives he didn’t know he had! The article on the front page of last week's M-J stirred interest in Dick Nelson, a resident of r 1 (Ogden Island) Syracuse. Our Dick Nelson said there were three Milford families in Marion, his home town One is a dentist. Dr. William Milford, and two brothers. George Milford, a lawyer, and his brother Robert who was active in Wawasee Prep on Lake Wawasee. Dick plans to communicate this information onto our welcomed visitor at his Melbourne Beach,

Fla., home. CARL DUNCAN was in to tell us Florence Stookey was Millard Stookey's second wife. She was the stepmother of Emra Stookey who resides near Leesburg. CHANGES ARE underway on Milford's Main street. Steve Frants has opened The Headquarters in the former building which housed Theida's Beauty Salon and Dr. Frank L. Wadas has moved into his new building on SR 15. HERE IS a helpful hint we found this week: Work at your work! Does your job suffer because you spend too much time complaining and too little in fulfilling the responsibilities for which you are being paid? Then listen to this advice from Elbert Hubbard : "If you work for a man. in Heaven's name, work for him.” "If he pays your wages which supply your bread and butter, work for him; speak well of him; stand by him and stand by the institution he represents." "If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify . . resign your position ... but as long as you are part of the institution do not condemn it.” In short, remember that cooperation is a two-way street, based on a recognition of the divine rights of each person. TOWN MARSHAL Melvin Jordan and wife Sandy entered their small car, a King Midget, in the Plymouth Blueberry festival car show September 5. The pair just received word that their entered car won — they received a first place trophy. The car had been entered at other shows but. "It’s the first

one we’ve had it judged at,” said Sandy. FRED POWELL. Elkhart county sales rep. for ‘the paper*, got a surprise of his life Saturday night while attending the Osolo Twp. Fire Department circus at the Elkhart North Side gym. When the evening ringmaster failed to show up. the perplexed firemen asked Fred to be ringmaster. "Are you kidding,” the Milford resident asked. Fred thought it was the put-on of the year. "No, all you have to do is ride into the arena on an elephant, welcome the people, then say something like, 'And now on with the show!* *’ he was told. When it was all over. Fred said. “Hey, that was fun. When is the next circus coming to town?” U w WORK BEGAN on Saturday on the parsonage of the Milford Christian church with remodeling to begin this week. Rick Brulette has accepted the position of associate minister at the church and will be coming to Milford in October from Hessville. He fills the position vacated by Dennis Gamauf when he decided to return to college last month. Rick and his wife Paulette are the parents of two children and will be making their home in the parsonage. < x The Brulettes are in Milford each Friday and currently plan to be in worship services here on Sunday evening when the Gospel Couriers will present a concert.

Tri-County Alert team is active A charter was recently issued to the Tri-County Alert team by the National Alert headquarters in Washington, D.C., making it team number 658 in the nation. For years there has been a need for an organization to help the citizen’s band radio operators to use their skills and communications systems to benefit everyone in the area. Since Whitley, Noble and Kosciusko counties were without any kind of emergency radio service, the organization has been framed for the sole purpose of emergency aid — ALERT (Affiliated League of Emergency Radio Teams) in these counties. The team is striving to maintain a 24-hour stand-by on emergency channel nine and will soon have the equipment to be on 24-hour stand-by in the event of national or local disaster. As soon as a qualified instructor is found the entire body will be taking first aid classes and will be qualified to assist the local emergency medical personnel in the area in case of such a disaster and will also be qualified to administer first aid at the scene of an accident until other help arrives. Since receiving the charter, the team has been active in assisting motorists in road directions, giving assistance to stalled autos, responding to a call for help at a bam fire and in assisting the fire department on the scene, maintaining traffice control at several accidents and responding to a call for help in locating a missing girl. The team built and entered a float in the Onion Days parade at Wolf Lake Labor day week end. The newly elected officers of the Tri-County Alert team include: President Martin Nelson (Pin Setter), Columbia City Vice president, Lee Bell (Ding-a-Ling), Bear Lake Secretary, Sharon Hontz, (Sunshine), Larwill Treasurer, Rita Rouse (Saturn 5) Big Lake Directors — John Didion, (Sky Lark), Columbia City; Richard Clark (Huggy Bear) Albion,; and Curtis Hontz (Little Tarzan) Larwill.

BZA acts on two variances

Three petitions for variance were considered at the board of zoning appeals Thursday evening, Sept 16. One request was approved, one denied and the third tabled. A request by Marvin and Fannie Mae Miller for a permit to construct on lot four in Lingofelter park on Lake Wawasee a five by 26 foot residential addition extending three feet from the side lot line instead of five feet was approved. In the four to two vote of approval, John Brewer, John Glon, William Pipp and Jim Kroh were in favor and Dee Stiver and Charles Miller were in opposition to the variance. In a unanimous decision the variance to permit John Harbes to construct a duplex in Enchanted Hills on lot 438 was denied. Harbes planned to build a two family dwelling on a lot of 10.800 square feet, rather than the 15,000 square feet required. The duplex was intended to house Harbes’ son, a disabled veteran and possibly his daughter. A representative of the Enchanted Hills board, Richard ATTAINS MEMBERSHIP — Ford Division of the Ford Motor Company recently announced that Bob Roeder has attained membership in the Ford Society of Professional Sales Counselors for 1976.

Wed., Sept. 22,1976 — THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Bigler, and president of the property owners association, William Charles and approximately 790 members, requested the variance be denied. Bigler stated that the association would take legal action to enforce their restrictions, if approval of the variance was given. The variance tabled was the request of Mary and Joe Baker to place a third mobile home near the old SR 13 and CR 1250 N intersection. The BZA members tabled the decision until they could get legal advice. The Bakers’ request was made so that a totally disabled 60-year old cousin and his wife could be close in order that Mrs. Baker could be of assistance to the couple. A second mobile home already on the property was inhabited by the Bakers’ daughter. Permission was granted for this mobile home orginally to house the cousins, but illness prevented the move at the time. Concern was noted that granting such variance might be against the state mobile home park ordinance requirements. Building commissioner Al Bauer was informed that a building permit could be issued to Larry Griffith for the construction of a storage building on the Wawasee Marina property since the land is commercially zoned. Hiring Attorney After the BZA meeting the plan commission members William Beemer, Joe Hughes. Miller, Merl Smith and Mike Umbaugh discussed the hiring of an attorney. Jack Lawson, an attorney in Fort Wayne, also a home owner on Bay Shore. Wawasee Lake, has stated an interest in the position according to Brewer. Other attorneys to be contacted were Dave Keller of Fort Wayne. Mike Valentine of Warsaw and John Hagen of Syracuse. Letters are to be sent to the attorneys to ask if they might consider the position. The one main requirement is that the new attorney must attend all the meetings, consituting a minimum of 16 regular meetings, plus any other sessions held. A salary of $1,500 for the attorney has been provided. Additional money for lawsuits

would be received provided the town has the available money. The town has already had experience with lawyers supposedly having interest in the community’s welfare, who said their bills would not be high, cautioned Betty Dust, town clerktreasurer. “We have paid them quite a bit,” she commented. According to Betty Dust the town still hasn’t received the SI,OOO donated by the Wawasee Property Association to help pay for the study to update the zoning ordinance and map. James Tranter, town board president, remarked that the money was being withheld deliberately until a final draft of recommended amendments to the zoning ordinance is received. The final draft from Bud Latz is expected next week. Tranter also related that the only changes made to the draft were those recommended by Robert Reed and the state planning agency. With the information gained from attorney Lawson that lakes can be zoned, a letter has been sent to the attorney general’s office for information concerning this possibility. If this is the case, lake zoning will be included, stated Tranter. Serve As Model The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has read the first draft and would like to use it as a model ordinance. Representatives of the DNR are to meet with Latz since the state would like to insert into our ordinance some “test zoning” said Tranter. Questions concerning whether or not the state would pay for attorney fees and court costs if we get into any lawsuits over the “test zoning” were voiced. Trater was not sure but assumed they would accept the financial responsibility. Beemer noted that the situation was unusual since the draft contains measures to try to control wetlands. Citation To Be Issued Beemer and Umbaugh stated that people are moving into the second Harborside condominiums. They requested a citation be issued since the building is not connected to the town’s sewer system. Tranter advised Bauer to issue the citation.
