HAVE YOU seen the black squirrels in the trees along South Main street? SOMETIMES WHEN you try to get information complete for a news item you end up with wrong answers in the most unusual way! Last week we made Melba Gardner a great-grandmother — she says she is not quite ready for that although her first greatgrandchild is on its way. An item was left at the office telling about the birth of Brad Allen and Chad Allen to Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gardner at Lawton. Okla., on September 6. It stated Mrs. Jack Gardner of Milford had just returned from spending three weeks there. In checking on who Mrs Jack Gardner of Milford was we were told "Jack was Melbas son.” Repeated attempts to reach the Gardners failed and when the birth announcement was typed Mrs. Gardners failed and when the birth announcement was typed Mrs. Gardner became the great-grandmother, when in fact she was the babies* grandmother Her husband. Jack, has been dead for a number erf years. DID YOU know there will soon be a new apartment house in the area! Ken Krull is making apartments in the Bethany church building on US 6. LARRY HANEY is again serving as chairman of the CROP drive with the annual walk to be held on Sunday. Oct. 3. Walks will begin in Warsaw with walkers going to Atwood. Silver Lake or Milford. Each walk is approximately 12 miles. Haney says volunteers are needed to secure pledges and walk for CROP — CommunityHunger Appeal of Church World Service. Last year's walk raised approximately $6,000. It is hoped this year's amount will be even larger. LLOYD COY recently found a large (»" x 42") poster advertising the new 1940 Zenith long distance radio — musically, the people's choice. The poster shows consoles, radio-phonographs, chairsides, table models, period models, portables and rural models It also has a display showing exclusive Zenith features. A collector's item, the poster shows photos of some 78 radios which were being introduced MR. MILFORD stirred up an active interest in his name when be visited here a couple of weeks This week we received a letter from W. J. Call. Jr., of San Francisco who read the article in The M-J on Art Milford's visit to Milford and looked up the name in the telephone book He found a Helen Milford and Associates: a Lt. Col. Jess F. Milford. Ret.; and a T. A. Milford. THE DAN Levemiers of North Main street are the proud grandparents of not one but two new granddaughters Brandy Renee was born to Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Levernier on September 21 and Jaime Theresa was born to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Levernier on September ». JOHN GUNTHER. a prominent San • Francisco barrister and native of Milford, is spending a month's vacation at the Elmer Zimmerman cottage an Waubee Lake. Al the present time, however, to a patient in the Elkhart hospital (room 4818) recovering from a compression fracture of the vertebrae. According to his story. Gunther visited an Elkhart county farm home, wanting to get a chicken to have himself a real “old fashioned chicken dinner ”
Running after the chicken. Gunther slipped and wrenched his back. He graduated from Goshen high school in 1917. then taught in the old Crowl country school in the year 1917-18. He taught in the Van Buren township consolidated school at Milford under township trustee the late Victor Fuller. He then went to the University of Michigan w here he graduated from the law school in 1929. He and Joseph C. Baumgartner of Rocky River. Ohio, former Milford resident, were college friends at the U of M and have kept in contact over the years Gunther has written a treatise concerning his early years in Milford and has many old photos to accompany it. He has visions of having it published as an early history of the community. Gunther is the son of the late Ada Gunther who lived on North Henry street for a number of years. The family home was torn down some years ago when the Christian church bought it and used the property for its Christian athletic center THERE ARE records, and then there are records and Rodney Bray recently broke one at the Milford school. Rodnqy, son of Mr. and Mrs Jerry Bray, ate 22 slices of tomatoes to set his record. The old record was 21 slices! AT LEAST one student thinks Wawasee high school history teacher Vernon Zurcher makes his class interesting. Recently the students walked into history class to be confronted with an “odd-looking” teacher. They were studying the Revolutionary period of history and Mr. Zurcher arrived in “full dress". He' was dressed half as a British soldier wearing a “redcoat” and half patriot, wearing a patriot hat. The students say he really gets his point across and the period three class really appreciates him. Over 40 Anyone? If you’re over 40 you can keep it to vourself But don’t forget to ask your doctor for a “procto“ examination during your regular health checkup. The American Cancer Society says it’s just plain common sense to protect yourself against colon and rectum cancer.

The Association for the Protection and Preservation of Lakes, Land and Environment, Inc (APPLE), forming as a result of the federal government intervention in the wetlands controversy, held its first public meeting at the Wawasee Golf club on Thursday evening. Informing the public of the association's role in the community was discussed as a major concern of the group. President Richard Ver Wiebe said "We want to make the general public aware that APPLE'S sole purpose is not to serve the developers We w ant to serve all property owners concerned about the way government has been intruding into our right to use property!" APPLE intends to make area residents aware of the rules, aims and intentions of various government agencies at all levels. At present the association is seeking members, hoping to increase the organization’s possible affect on government officials Several committees were established.

report on plausible sewage plans for the Wawasee Lake area at the October 28 meeting of the association. Discussion revolved around the US Army Corps of Engineers involvement in the local area. Originally their jurisdiction was the coastal waters. Concern over what the outcome of the Tower-Wnght and Ran-dolph-Baker amendments, now being considered in the senate and bouse of representatives, was voiced. The Tower-Wright amendment restrict the corps to navigable waters and not inland waters. The association “will probably oppose the zoning ordinance,” said Ver Wiebe after opinions were stated on the Syracuse Town board’s local zoning ordinance. revision. The DNR’s desire to add some test zoning to the ordinance may mean other restrictions. Opposition to the ordinance by APPLE relates to the general concensus that the ordinance does not allow for change. “There is no benefit to the people unless you want land use to remain the same as it is today,” stated Ver Wiebe.
