Hi .

WOW! WHAT about the weather the kids had for their fall vacation last week! Sunny, high 60’s, truly a continuation of Indian Summer. Many folk took advantage of the warm days to wash windows, rake leaves, clean garages, give the old car (or new one) a bath, etc. C. V. (“Ttoy”) Holderman was back in Milford last Friday and when asked about how he was enjoying his retirement commented that Lavon kept him so busy he didn’t know he was retired. THE WEATHER is something that everyone talks about... it’s hot, cold, rainy, sunny, etc. A recent trip to Brown County by the bossman and his wife and grandchildren brought out some interesting facts about the weather. Did you know animals forcast winter? It will be a bad winter if squirrels begin gathering nuts early (middle or late September). if muskrat houses are built big. if beaver lodges have more logs and the north side is covered with more sticks than the south ... What about insects? It will be a bad winter if hornets and yellow jackets build their nests heavier and closer to the ground than usual, worms are bending up and going into peoples* bouses and abandoned buildings in October, there are lots of spiders, frost worms and black bugs about or the woolly worm has a heavy coat with wide black band on his back (more Mack than brown he is — the wider the stripe, the worse the winter) . . . Plants too! It will be a bad winter if blackberry blooms are especially heavy, carrots grow deeper, onions grow more layers, trees are laden with green leaves late in the fall, hickory nuts have a heavy shell, bark on trees is thicker or heavier on the north side, corn shucks and silks grow thicker and the shocks grow tighter around and further over the ends of the ears . . . How about the weather? Two frosts and lots of rain mean cold weather is near, a late frost means a bad winter, for every frost or fog in August there will be a snowy day in winter, at least three severe fogs in June or July means early snow, if the first snow stays on the ground three days another snow will come on top of it and if it frosts before November 23 it will be a bad winter (remember this is Southern Indiana) . . . By fire! When you build a fire outside and it pops, it will snow in three

days. Iff it fire ••tramps” snow coming <!own the chimney (in other wor is, if noises are coming from the chimney that sound like boots swi th Ing through deep, dry snow) it will be a deep snow, it will be a hard winter if smoke from the chimney flows toward or settles on the ground . . . By the moon! The n amber of days old the moon is at the first snow tells how many snows there will be that winter . . . Now, can someone tell me what kind of t winter we are going to have? EMMA CLAYTON Krauter was sui prised on Monday night when a van loaded with trick or treaters arrived at her Milford home. The trick or treaters turned out to be the Richard Bests of Nappanee, their children and grandcl iildren. The Eiest family also visited in the Chi tries Weisser home near Our Town and with the Vernon Netereis of Syracuse. THE SURPRISE for the Robert (“Hap”> Ruches came on Tuesday morning when they awoke to find their house was for sale. It seems some (or several) pranki ter(s) had a busy evening as they went around Milford collecting realty signs and depositing them in the Ruch yard. THE DENNIS Replogles didn’t know they had a haunted woods at thei r home east of Milford until last Wednesday night. On that evening some 75 youngsters from the junior high and junior departments of the Christian Church visited the Replogle property for a hallou-een party in the “haunted woodfi.” It was fun and games with the evening being closed with devotions. Four groups toured Dr. A. G. Schafer’s •‘Haunted House’* durin g Halloween week. On Wednesday evening the Junior Merry Maidens made the tour. A church group toured on Thursday night. Friday night the Richard Taylor children and Dr. A Gr. Schafers children held a party with a tour through the “Hainted House.” He United Methodist Church of M ilford Junior Sunday school clast, toured on Saturday night. Molanie Carr is hostess for Room 4-U 4-H Club By JUDIFERVERDA On October 18, the Room 4-U 4H Club met in the home erf Meaine Carr at 7 p.m. The meeting was called to order by vice president Connie Thompson. Connie gave the American pledge while Amy Fe;-verda gave the 4-H pledge. Roil call was your favorite Halloween character. Amy Ferverda gave a treasurer’s ref tort. ?rhe Achievement Night will be November 7, it will be a carry-in sujjper. For the old business they passed out calendars to sell. They then had a health and safety rejxjrt. Melanie Carr and Cheryl W ilk er gave a demonstration on ho w to make chocolate chip cookies. 'lied* Long at Las Vegas 'pesf convention H. E. (“Red”) Long, owner of Ace Pest Control, Inc., r 2 Syracuse (Lake Wawasee), will kave November 5 for Las Vegas, h ev., where he will attend the 43d a mual convention of the National Fest Control Association.

Fire Mate is book worth reading

(EDITOR’S NOTE The following is a review on the book “Fire Mate” by Oiga Cossi as submitted by Josephine Waltz of Syracuse.) As or grandparent, have ydu ever selected a highly recommended book for your children thinking they’d simply adore it and probably take it to bed with them at night, and then you never hear of that book again — whether they liked it or not — and you get the feeling the gift was like dropping a pebble in a deep, dry well? A kind of nothing? Well, another year — another try — another book. This one will not get lost because parents will also laugh, cry, and cheer and they’ll miss a lot if they don’t read it too. The story is about a nine year old Indian girl, Walakea, who today lives on a reservation in California where her parents and friends remember and preserve the ancient Indian legends. Walakea tells of the tradition of the Great One who is guardian of soul-fires. All Indians have soulfires which they must share with fire mates to have light and warmth within the sacred circle of their being. Sometimes they must search throughout their lives. Then they know when they have found the right mates because their soul-fires burst into flame. Who doesn’t want a soul mate? It has been said that from earliest childhood human beings long for someone special to feel close to both .mentally and physically — someone whose presence is a comfort and who responds by finding in them a similar satisfaction and sense of completeness. There is delightful substance
