We have this photo and we have the list of names of the class members Now all we need to do is put the two together Can anyone help 9 LITTLE CHAI) Berkeypile was helping his neighbor Doris Darnell clean out leaves and set bulbs along the side of her house one day last week Chad was interested in the work and helped right along When the two were almost thru Mrs Darnell noticed some of the bulbs were beginning to look like something had happened to them She asked Chad what had happened and he came back with. "1 peeled them Guess plain old bulbs had become uninteresting by that time. AND YOU have it rough’ The following set of rules, unbelievable as they sound to us today, actually existed in offices back in the 187 O‘s. We thought you might enjoy reading them just fur comparison's sake. 1 Office employees will daily sweep the floors, dust the furniture. shelves, and show-cases 3. Each day fill lamps, clean chimneys, and trim wicks. Wash the windows once a week. 3. Each clerk will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day’s business 4. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to your individual taste. 5 This office will open at 7 a m and close at 8 pm daily, except
on the Sabbath, on which day it will remain closed. Each employee is expected to spend the Sabbath by attending church and contributing liberally to the cause of the Lord 6. Men employees will be given an evening off each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go regularly to church. 7. Every employee should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years, so that he will not become a burden upon the charity of his betters. 8. Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses liquor in.any form, gets shaved at a barber shop, or frequents pool and public halls, will give me good reason to suspect his worth, intentions, integrity and honesty. 9 The employee who has performed his labors faithfully and without fault for a period of five years in my service, and who has been thrifty and attentive to his religious duties, and is looked upon by his fellowmen as a substantial and law abiding citizen, will be given an increase of five cents per day in his pay, providing a just return in profits from the business permits it. Be worthy of your hire, copied THE MILFORD fire department continued its busy runs last Wednesday afternoon with the first run being an assist to New Paris when a grass fire was burning north of town in Elkhart county The secohd run was made an hour later to the Leon Tucker farm where a fire was burning in a corn field. VOTERS TURNED out in full force in Van Buren township last Tuesday to cast the ballots of their choice. The three precincts show a total of 1,445 persons registered to vote in the election with 1,070 persons voting. This gives a total voting percentage tn the three townships of 73.08 In precinct one 279 out of 404 persons voted for a 69.05 per cent turn out. Persons in that precinct went 59.27 per cent for Gerald R. Ford and Robert Dole for president. 36.72 per cent for Jimmy Carter and Walter F. Mondale, 3.63 per cent (10 votes) for Thomas J. Anderson and Rufus Shackelford on the American party ticket and .36 or one vote for Lyndon H. Laßouche, Jr., and Ronald Wayne Evans. The township voted strong Republican on all other choices on the ballot also. Its voters supported John B.

In precinct tw0304 of 437 voters turned out to voice their opinion as they cast their ballots. This is a 69.56 per cent turn out.

HANDWRITTEN records can often lead the reader astray, especially if he or she is not familiar with the names in the article. This was the case last week with the history of the United Methodist church when the history was taken from handwritten records. The record shows one of the church's active members being C. R. Britton. This was indeed the late C. R. Brit son. And. a call from Pat Mason revealed the Nathaniel Cline of North Webster, who built one of the church buildings, was her grandfather Nathaniel Kline. WORDS OF appreciation from the entire community go to Eira Beer who is retiring from the Milford library board. Beer, who has served more years than he can remember, is an area farmer. Members of the library board and staff members honored Mr. and Mrs. Beer at a surprise dinner last Friday.

The Election Is Over (AN EDITORIAL) It’s no news that the election is over, and the usual rash of jokes (like those about peanuts) that attend the aftermath of any national election are making the rounds. But they, too, will subside and the electorate will be going back to work, paying their grocery bills and taxes as before It’s always interesting, however, to try to draw some conclusions from the returns. If we can do that this time around, it would have to be that good, old-fashioned campaigning and honesty with the voters just simply pays off at the polls. After a siege of Watergate and other revelations emanating from Washington, building to a monumental distrust for anything coming out of Washington. Jimmy Carter’s “trust me" theme had a certain credibility that the voters went for On the other hand. Senator Vance Hartke failed miserably at the polls, and many observers claim he lost contact with the people back home, causing his demise from the political scene. There appears to be some truth in this assessment. Then, look what congressman Floyd Fithian did. He is a Democrat in a solidly Republican district, and defeated a glamorous candidate like Will Erwin. Erwin won in Kosciusko county by only 227 votes, and Kosciusko is Erwin’s home county. It proves to many erf us that his "town meetings” paid off for Fithian. We were genuinely surprised to learn how many “solid” Republicans claimed to have voted for Fithian. Fithian promised to keep in touch with the people back home, he did. and they remembered: a good lesson for any politician
lost his chance to protest condemnation actions. Miller said the board would pass on any further information to Widup. Miller asked if tenants were residing in the building now. which was affirmed by Widup. Treesh asked if any of the tenants moved into the building after it had been condemned. W’idup replied that one had moved in after some repairs had been made. Park Board Created Reed submitted an ordinance creating a park board, to have an ex-official member, to be chosen by the Lakeland community school board; and two members each erf the two political parties, with privileges of an advisory counsel and special committees, which was passed by the board. Appointees, previously announced were approved by the board to serve staggered terms. Appointees and their terms are Marion Acton, January 1978; Levi Beer, January 1979; D. G. Seely, January 1980; and Connie Smith, January 1981, Mrs. Dorothy Williams remarked she intended to have all appointees to a meeting at her home within the week. Mrs. Williams asked about funds for the park. The board acknowledged contributions from MAD of $250 and Brock S3OO, for a total of $550. Mrs. Williams asked if the park board would have the right to advertise for someone to live as a caretaker in a trailer in the park, which if included in the powers of the ordinance, would be appropriate. She also wondered if the shop classes at the junior high school might be utilized to make furniture for the park. Miller reminded Mrs. Williams that such action would have to comply with school policy. Signed by the board was an agreement for revenue sharing money for the EMS unit, effective until trustee Walter (Wally) Wuthrich’s term expires January 1979. Purchased from budgeted funds will be a generator, requested for the fire department by fire chief Bill Leemon. Cost of the generator is SBOO. Leemon also said approximately SSOO of equipment — gloves, lantems. coats and boots are needed. Miller reported that Hershel Umbaugh advised him to seek funding through FHA for the water project and suggested the town’s lawyer contact that agency Reed, after consulting with Umbaugh. was told to contact Wilbur Harmon with the FHA. Reed will try to set up a meeting with Hannon When the plans and specifications have been readied, the money might be obtained through the agency. However, the plan preparer. Clyde Williams and Associates, is holding up work on the plans, as a site for the water tank has not yet been designated Town marshal Melvin Jordan remarked he did not receive one call over Halloween, saying. "This is the finest year I’ve ever had.” Jordan reported no new thefts were committed above the normal amount and responded to questions about a communications link with other cities
used to compare information. Board member James Brooks inquired whether daily police logs were accessible to board members, then asked if the logs could be carboned so members could read them rather than browsing it during meetings Such points were discussed. John Martin, absent due to a family illness, sent word that chains were needed and a heat houser for the low boy. Reed enlisted the aid of board members in determining whether certain property owners still resided in the town, to prepare for the proposed annexation The minutes of the October board meeting were read and approved. Visitors at the meeting were Trustee Wuthrich and Betty Dust, Syracuse clerk-treasurer.
