"Miss Horton, as I still think of her, was one of my favorite teachers. She taught us our multiplication tables so well that I never forgot them, for one thing, and we had a spell-down session every Friday.

“A boy, not shown in the picture, came from Atlanta, Ga., for the winter with his younger brother and their governess. Miss Melley. The boys were John and Louis Thomstine. Louis was in another, lower class. It was quite an experience for the boys, w'ho came from a wealthy family, and Miss M. thought it would be good for them to have some public schooling.” SUNDAY WAS a day of reminiscing for George and Lillie Auer, residents of Henry Street. Milford. They marked their 64th wedding anniversary with an open house in the home of son Ted in Syracuse and greeted many friends and well wishers. All of their children served as hosts for the special event. George recalled living in the same house on county road 900 N for 70 years.“ Actually,” he said, “the house was rebuilt, but I was bom in the original house on that site.” The Auer home was nearly devastated by the April 3. 1973, tornado that swept the area, George recalls, “and it’s never been right living there since that.” he added. The Auers moved into Milford on August 3. 1974, and have become two of the community’s better loved senior citizens. Wetlands issue outlined in articles A two-part article on the Lake Wawasee wetlands was featured in the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette over the week end, with comments from local persons on both sides of the issue. The article presented the viewpoints of land developers and environmentalists involved in the issue over whether the lands should remain in a natural state or be used for more lakeside housing. Richard Ver Wiebe, an attorney with an office in Syracuse, represented the developer’s viewpoint and outlined the decision to fill of property owners by Don Byrd and Chester Elder on the lake. Also discussed in the articles are the “Wetlands Policy” used by the department of natural resources (DNR) and the reimbursement of the landowner for land classified as wetlands. Robert Glazier, head of* the lakes and streams section of the DNR gave a solution to the landfill conflicts. He suggests landowners contact the DNR before filling and apply for a permit and permits joint survey to establish a shoreline. Representing the Wawasee Property Owners Association was Sherry Lantz Faris, director, who commented on the Byrd development proposed for Ogden Island. She also fears overdevelopment of the lake.
