Clolhing Allowance Firemen's clothing allowance of SIOO per year providing firemen attend at least 50 per cent of the fires, meetings and drills Town board member John Cripe took exception to the allowance as being unfair for firemen who work out of town, but it was noted that two firemen have for at least two years failed to meet the attendance requirement Larry Weaver, who will be fire chief after the first of the year, asked that all firemen receive the SIOO per annum clothing allowance. Board president James C. Tranter promised a study and review of the allowance as it now stands Another promised study with recommendations has been promised by president Tranter far vacation periods for police department employees

"We have never thought it enough merely to provide the services traditionally expected from REALTORS. Larry Nellans, REALTORS is. of course, a leader in the field of real estate But in addition. we find that more and more of our clients are asking advice on subjects as diverse as taxation, estate planning and investments Luckily for us and our clients, this complete service is something we have always aimed to give. And this total range of services enables us to - get you moving.

Attorney Reed called the clothing allowance “a big farce?* stating the town and township “have been taken" until the 50 per cent rule went into effect. Police chief Ron Robinson asked the board to review vacation periods for police officers. He asked for a week’s vacation following a year’s service, and two weeks following two year’s service. At the present time an officer must work three years to qualify for a two-week vacation. Actual time for vacations is discretionary with department heads, it was noted. The board approved the purchase of four raincoats, a pair of boots, four band lights, a 10-foot pole and a six-foot pole, 200 feet of inch and a half hose and 200 feet of two-and-a-half inch hose and a fiberglass axe handle out of the priority list submitted at an earlier meeting The REMC of Warsaw has quoted a price of $977 33 to install three security lights in Wawasee Heights, clerk-treasurer Betty Dust reported. In other business, board member John Cripe asked why the board has reversed its decision and decided to sell lots 15 and 16 on the west end of Pearl street, to WARE, Inc., the group which plans to build a retirement center on that site Board president Tranter said (here remained a large lot owned by the town on which the city’s utility plant could be expanded The board also agreed to fill deep ruts on Boston street with gravel in order to make the street passable. President Tranter expressed the board’s thanks to the Economic Development Commission for the work it has done to help Premiere Corporation locate in the Syracuse community. \ Following the meeting the board went into executive session Mrs. McFarren in accident southeast of Milford Dec. 21 Mrs Doral (Eula Lee) McFarren. 46. Milford, escaped serious injury last Tuesday when the car she was driving hit an icy covered part of the roadway and went into a skid. Mrs McFarren was eastbound on CR 1100 N and crested the hill near the road's junction with 300E, southeast of Milford, when she hit the slick spot. The vehicle skidded toward the opposite side of the roadway reached the berm and a small ditch It struck a fence owned by C. L.

The morning of January 4. the senator-elect will leave Milford for Indianapolis, before the legislature convenes Wednesday, Jan. 5. Next Tuesday afternoon he will attend the governmental affairs meeting, where sunset legislation will be discussed. Augsburger is the co-author of the bill, along with the author Senator Graham Richards, Fort Wayne The bill provides for the *4BO existing governmental agenciffi to be reviewed and prove their merit or be terminated by legislative vote. The same bill would make governmental appointments cease when the official. who made the appointment, term expires. "It should be a good bill. 1 believe,” Augsburger said. He explained it might save the taxpayers some money Senator John F. Augsburger. will go to his home in Tempe, Ariz., within the next two weeks, where he will reside until spring.

■ ~ J DECORATED CAST — Dick Doll, young son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold (“Pete") Doll of near Milford, recently broke his wrist playing basketball. When his cast became dirty he decided to do something about it. He painted it deep blue and then decorated it with a Bicentennial theme.

Key West — (Continued from page 1) 1912. It runs 122 miles from Homestead. Fla., to Key West. By connecting Key West with the mainland it opened up United States' commercial interest in Cuba. Central America, and the Pacific via the Panama Canal. The dream was shortlived, however. After 23 years of railroad service, the Labor Day hurricane of 1935 destroyed so much of the railway that the enterprise was abandoned. Plans were immediately drawn up by the state to build the Overseas Highway using Flagler’s railroad bridges and rebuilding many of the washed out embankments. Climatology In the climatic sense, the keys belong to the tropics, even though the Tropic of Cancer lies 70 miles south of Key West. Key West is a frost-free, pollution-free tropical island paradise. Trade winds from the nearby Gulf Stream air-condition the island in summer, and the warm water of the Gulf tempers the cool Canadian air as it blows out the north in winter. Temperatures vary only about 12 degrees year round, with average annual temperature being 77 degrees. Old Mallory Square As we wound down the narrow streets of Old Mallory Square we noted the Turtle Kraals, water pens where turtles are kept, and the observation tower at the foot of Margaret street, where the Spanish galleon Replica is tied up. Admirers of the late Ernest Hemingway can enjoy a tour through the writer’s home. Next we saw the stately, white Audubon House, where John James Audubon painted many of his birds works in 1830 s. Across the street is the Lighthouse Military Museum. It features local military history but also includes a two-man Japanese submarine captured at Pearl Harbor. Visitors get a 360-degree view of the island from atop the lighthouse, which was built in 1846. Plant lovers can take in Peggy’ Mills Garden, where a collection of exotic plants from tropical regions dazzle the eyes The island is becoming noted for its hand-screened print fabrics. I couldn’t resist buying one of the velvety-soft jersey prints in lovely colors. Key Lime pie made with native grown limes is a “must" dessert at least dice and we stopped at a shop where you can mix and match your own desired perfume. We wound down narrow Telegraph Lane, where the first message of the Maine disaster reached the US. And then we passed the Presidential Gates where Presidents Taft, two Roosevelts. Truman, Eisenhower, and

Kennedy passed through. Conch Architecture Conch houses were built by master ship's carpenters with only wooden fastenings, trenails and pegs, and these magnificent structures have withstood hurricanes and weathered salt air and rain water for more than a century. The wood of the Conch Houses is resinous heart pine, and it hardens with age. Also the hand turned "gingerbread” design is different. Many of these 125 year old houses have been beautifully restored during the past few years. One island lover pointed out that some of the best things of Key West life are free: swimming or sunning on their man made beaches (sand is hauled from 20 miles beyond the coral reefs) skin diving, and one can get up early and go down to the docks and watch the shrimpers come in. The. Cuban coffee is refreshing after the tour and finish the day seeing a beautiful sunset at Mallory Dock. It’s quite a place. Key West. Go look and listen to its historic roar, wrapped in a pink and alabaster shell. Corals This is fishing and diving country. The fishing ranges from guided skiff hunts for bonefish to deep sea excursions for marlin. Those who prefer looking at fish to catching them have a paradise in the warm, calm waters of the keys, where the only living coral reef in the Continental United States provides spectacular under water scenery as viewed from the glass bottom boat. We sailed on the Discovery for 14 miles from Pennecamp Coral Reef State Park to view the reef. The reef is a series of rock ledges that support about 40 species of coral. Commercial coral harvesters who dynamite reefs for salable fragments of coral and thereby destroy the home of reef fish, are barred

from operating in this area by both the state and federal governments. Corals are animals, small and soft-bodied, that manufacture hard limestone skeletons from the chemicals in sea-water, in the same manner as conchs, oysters, and clams. Though each coral animal is only a fraction of an inch in length, it divides itself into two individuals, both of which divide again until the colony forms tree like shapes.
