HERE IS a photo to jog memories! It is the congregation of the Milford Church of the Nazarene. The photo was loaned to us by Betty Young and shows her grandmother, Hazel Kaylor, in the center with the large feather on her hat. Betty’s cousin, Fred (Kaylor) Hershberger, is also shown. We recognized a few people. Bessie Bushong, second from left on the porch; Bessie’s granddaughter, Bonnie Burris; the children of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Bess; and the children of Mr. and Mrs. John Troup. After that our memory fails us. Mr. Ingles was minister of the church when the photo was taken — early 1950 s or late 19405. We would assume he and his family are in the photo. The church members met in an old house on South Main Street for a number of years. The house was built by Mr. Mclntyre, erne of the, first professional photographers in the area. His studio was housed in the large home and Mclntyre was famous for his tintypes. As the church grew, members tore the old house down, and built a basement worship area with plans to complete the building as funds became available. This never materialized. The building was vacated, the church closed. Later it was sold to the Salem Mennonite Church

and the building now houses the Milford Chapel. The Salem congregation remodeled the building and built the entrance way that now denotes the chapel. WE WERE surprised by a caU from the State Department of Commerce in Indianapolis on Monday morning. The voice on the other end of the line belonged to Sharon Keller, the former Sharon Dewart of Our Town. Sharon works for Lt. Gov. Orr in the Commerce Department. A NEWS release from Tri-State University at Angola informs us of the fact Dennis Spearman is a member of that school’s indoor track team. With the indoor season underway and spring around the corner, it won’t be long until Dennis’ sister, Lorene, turns her thoughts to the Wawasee High School track season. Lorene is a senior this year and hopes for another state championship. These two outstanding athletes are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Spearman of the Dewart Lake area. FLORENCE (MRS. John) Gardner is having a bit of a problem these days getting around. She suffered a leg injury in a fall on the ice last week. IT ISN’T a well know fact, but close friends know Oscar Graff, r 1 Milford (Milford-Syracuse Road), as an avid fisherman. He’s an ice fisherman in the wintertime as well as a boat

fisherman in the summertime. One of his favorite spots is Dewart Lake, but he’s known to try other watering holes as well. % He told friends last week he has caught 265 bluegills so far this year. And that ain’t bad for a man who turned 85 on Christmas day. LAST WEEK°end the Robert Greenwood family observed its first anniversary in Milford. Greenwood is the minister of the Milford Christian Church. PEOPLE TRYING to call between Milford and Syracuse on Monday found it a bit bothersome as a cable had been cut. In the morning calls between the two towns were impossible; however, by mid-afternoon things had improved to the point that a call would come through with persons being able to hold a short conversation before being cut off* By late in the afternoon all was back to normal. WOW UNTO our reporter who stated Dr. T. A. Miller graduated from the. University of Michigan instead of Michigan State University. Competition between the two schools is great as anyone from Michigan can quickly testify. WAWASEE”°HIGH School teacher Linda Kehoe is looking for costumes of the 1890 s. She wants to use them in the school’s spring musical, “Hello Doily.” Anyone with costumes from this time period, who would be willing to loan them to the school, is asked to call the office and leave a message. MILFORD JUNIOR High’s eighth grade basketball team remains undefeated and one of the reasons could be the opponents are confused by team members Kirk and Kent Stichter, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Stichter. Seriously, we don’t want to take anything away from this group of young men who seem to be putting everything together in the right way, leaving defeated teams in their path as they chalk up victory after victory. The boys will be participating in the Camelot Invitational next week with hopes of bringing home a championship. Larry Ummel reports items stolen from house Larry Ummel, r 1 Cromwell, reported that a trail bike and a 1973 chain saw valued at $250, were stolen.

Thieves had stolen the items sometime between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 20, from an unlocked garage, said County Police Captain Thomas Kitch.

The police department now has room to store one of the police cars inside, out of the weather. The town board president went on to say that when the move is made, meetings will be held in a smaller room similar to the present one used. Nine said that a large meeting room able to seat about 200 people is planned, but will probably only be used when a large meeting takes place. He added that it was the feeling of the board to meet in a smaller room, unless there is an overflow of people. Nine also said that he is satisfied with the work being done on the new town hall. He said, “It looks real nice?' Plummer enlists Amn Douglas S.

Thanks to Sodasorb, a specialty chemical substance produced by W. R. Grace & Co., the patient’s exhaled carbon dioxide is absorbed in rebreathing systems. Today, happily, when someone is “knocked out’’ forsurgery. it doesn’t mean from blows on the head. \
