Milford's Main Street

EASTER IS behind us and while the spiritual effects of the day were up lifting, we can’t say too much about the weather. Many families were forced to cancel planned holiday activities and missed services because of the ice that coated everything on Saturday and early Sunday morning. If we are lucky, maybe it was Old Man Winter’s way of saying farewell for another season . . . spring has to be on its way. GLADYS COY called to remind us of the monthly blood pressure checks set for this coming Saturday, April 1, at the Chatter Box. AND SPEAKING of the Chatter Box, a card party is being planned by that gang for mid-April. More later! FROM TOWNSHIP Trustee Walter Wuthrich comes a reminder that it’s time for assessing. Persons with dog taxes to be paid and items to be reported to the assessor should contact. Walley or his wife Martha at 324 East Catherine Street. AMY BEER of Milford won her second consecutive grand prize in ‘the paper’s’ Easter coloring contest and was also a prize winner in The M-J’s contest this year. Brother Robbie also won prizes in both coloring contests. Amy is in the third grade and brother Robbie is in the first grade. They are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jessop Beer of Emeline Street.

Thank God for the resurrection! God's assurance to us that we can have our own "Office Upstairs." Someone told this story of the old doctor who was a fine Christian and a very useful man. He did not have a swanky office. He had only two or three small rooms on the second floor of o building, at the head of a flight of steps. On the street below was this sign: "Dr. Thomas Riley — Office Upstairs." One day the doctor was missing. They found him dead in his office. A few nights before he had gone out into a snow storm on a call. He had taken cold and died. When his friends buried him they wanted to perpetuate his memory in the best way. They wondered what sort of stone to put over his grave. What epitaph could they put on the stone? They thought of his labors of love and how he had gone up into heaven. One of his friends took the ‘old battered sign and put it upon the doctor's grave. It simply read, "Dr. Thomas Riley — Office Upstairs, and pointed it toward heaven. — Dr. Lee Roberson We ore now happy to offer the Milford area two morning worship hours.

LAST THURSDAY Persephone Proudhart (that’s the name they gave us) and her quintuplets were honored with a luncheon coming out shower given by the girls at The M-J. Everyone enjoyed tuna casserole and kitty cocktails except mean Uncle Wuzzles who slipped out the back while the guests were arriving. Entertainment was provided by theisJJncle Lothar who bathed himself to the tune “The Blues My Baby Gave to Me.” Some thought the five-day-old youngsters were ugly but all agreed that they would be “real cute” in another month. Having the affair next month would also mean everyone could have come without getting into mud up to their ankles. Among the numerous gifts the quints received were yellow balls of yarn and some jack mackeral for when they are older. Persephone was delighted with the entire event. Those attending were Linda Musselman, Louann Michael. Elaine Stichter, Barb Miller, Jennifer Northage, Kathy Bartman, Yvonne Cpburn, Jeanette Rowe and McClure, hostess. And, in case you haven’t guessed, the quintuplets are kittens. The next thing we know Jeri Seely will be expecting a shower for the puppies her English Springer Spaniel “Maverick” is due to have the middle of next month. What would you do at a

shower for puppy dogs? A NUMBER of Milford Lions attended the zone social at Wakarusa last evening (Tuesday) and heard WOWO’s Jack Underwood speak. Attending were Club President and Mrs. Robert Cline, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Keiper, Dr. and Mrs. Bruce Lamb and Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Seely. A SIGN of spring: Garden seeds for sale at area businesses! HAVING RETURNED from the warmth of the Bahamas, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Hickman of out Camelot Lake way are now planning a trip to Bermuda. Seems they have become addicted to warm places. Use set-aside grain reserve farmers advised The new farm lawn has two important tools farmers can use to bring grain prices up; setaside and reserve programs, according to Phil Braman of the local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office in Warsaw. If farmers use the feed grain and wheat set-aside programs and participate in the grain reserve, they can reduce the 1978 grain crop and isolate at least one billion bushels of grain from the marketplace. Braman noted that if enough farmers participate in these programs, farm prices will go up. The programs are voluntary; no one is forced to participate. “But farmers must understand clearly that if they decide not to participate in the set-aside program, they will not be eligible for price support; they will not be eligible for deficiency payments if market prices are low, and they will not be eligible for low-yield disaster protection,” Braman said. ASCS began accepting applications for the set-aside programs on March 1, and at the same time, began placing 1977 crops of wheat, barley and oats into the reserve without waiting for price support loans to mature. Early entry of corn will be allowed at a later date. The programs work hand-in-hand. Without a cutback in production, the supplies of grain will continue to increase and depress the market even with the reserve. And without a reserve, acreage reductions alone cannot quickly reduce the supply available to the market and relieve the low prices. Kosciusko County farmers are encouraged to make full use of the price support programs, participate in the set-aside programs to cut production and place 1976-1977 grain into the reserve to isolate it from the marketplace. Community service topic for Auxiliary Community service at home and over the state were the special topics of the March 28 meeting of American Legion Auxiliary 223, Syracuse, which met in the Legion hall. Members were reminded of the District 2 meeting to be held at Wawasee Unit 223, Syracuse Legion hall, Wednesday, April 12, at 10 a.m. Lunch will be served. The Legion birthday party dinner and meeting will be held Sunday, April 2, at noon in the Legion hall.
