Milford's Main Street

BEGINNING THIS week we are changing the name of the column to Milford’s Main Street. This change comes after hours of careful thought, after agreeing it was time for a change. Our first objective was to put Milford back in the head. That was easy. Our second objective was to find something that went with Milford that was informative, catchy, etc. We first turned to Roget’s College Thesaurus for a word that would fit our purpose. Nothing! We had been toying with Main Street but really didn’t consider it because this column is about all of the people and happeinings of the community, not just what happens on Main Street. A chance look at the two words in Webster changed our mind. Webster states that Main Street is truly the Main Street of a town, however, it can also refer to the "inhabitants of a small town." That's us ... we now have a new name ... we hope you like it. A SPECIAL program will be featured at the Bethel Church this evening at 7 when Dean Kagarise. pastor of the Mount Pleasant Church of the Brethren. Bourbon, presents a program on television. The program is designed to increase awareness of how TV is used in the home and will touch on the major problems with TV. The public is invited to attend the program and will be offered the opportunity for questions and discussion about special problems regarding TV in the home.

She asked the president of the Milford Area Development Council and the vice president of that organisation. She checked with Milford’s Citizen of the Year. And. with the Lions Club president and other Lions and the worthy matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, to name just a few. We were beginning to wonder if Santa was going to have to wear something different this Christmas. Thai. Mim Speicher came to the rescue of her home town when she located a suit in her Syracuse store. Now, we have Santa suits coming out of our ears! (Well, almost) HKfi “IT’S NOT for sale,” said Arch Baumgartner, Mail-Journal publisher, when asked what he wanted for his house on James Street. He woke up Saturday morning to find 19 real estate signs and one septic tank cleaning company sign in his yard. They were as follows: Two from Todd Realty, 4 from Chalet Realty, 2 from Beer Associates, 1 from Fry and Wells, and 1 from the Wawasee Septic Tank Cleaners. The prank appeared to be a Halloween hold-over, with Bob Ruch getting a rash of calls when signs appeared in the yard of his road 13 home. Steve Replogle and Steve Baumgartner were also among “the chosen few" to have their yards so decorated. It would appear that the real estate sign prank has replaced window soaping in the Milford area. * MILFORD FARMERMECHANIC Max Duncan, r 2. b sprouting a handsome Ml beard which he says he won’t shave off
