By SUSAN BENNETT "There's one thing about being a loner," states Noble ("Nubs") Holderread, Fourth Street, Milford. "People can believe anything about you." Holderread, better known to most as "Nubs", is a frequent sight around town. He visits an eatery twice daily and stops in the drug store as often each day. The retired post office employee visits the restaurant at Schwartz's at 6 a.m. for breakfast. There he reads one of several papers he will scan or works crossword puzzles. He returns about 11 a.m. for lunch, trading quips with townspeople who are regulars at the restaurant. "I used to cook all my meals at home," he said, a practice he has since given up. The tale about "Nubs" crawling through the snow the first morning of the blizzard to get to Schwartz's is true. He did indeed wade through waist-deep snow in the parking lot to , have breakfast. "Anyway, I got a free breakfast out of it," he added. "I'm not really that deep a thinker," Holderread says. But he reads the armload of newspapers and newsmagazines he carries out of the post office. He spends a lot of time reading. He retired from the post office in 1971 after 30 years service. "Haven't done anything but get fatter," he says. Two years of that service was spent on the mail train on the Baltimore and Ohio and Erie railways, which he liked the best. "It

handles over 11,000 different items. Not only have grocery stores changed, so have labels. Studying a label can supply information or confuse the consumer. “Open dating” has appeared on many cans and labels and is still confusing too many. An open date is a calendar date on many food packages indicating freshness. It tells either when a product was packaged or processed, when the product should be sold by the store, or when the product should be used by th? consumer. Different prefizes may be used such as “packed on,” “sell by”, “use by” or “expiration”. Nutrition labeling appears on foods that have been enriched or fortified and foods that make a nutritional claim. It supplies information such as serving size, servings per container, calories, carbohydrate, protein, fat content and percentage of USRDA.

was different than it is now," Holderread says. "Really, what they do now is wait on the windows mostly." Holderread moved to Milford from Wakarusa when he was in the third grade. "We were poorer than church mice," he recalled. Persons around Milford remember him as a scholar. "I could read a lesson once and have it," Holderread said. He studied Latin all four years in high school and even won a contest. He said he was too awkward to play basketball as an adolescent, and took up reading. He graduated from high school during the depression and did not go to college because of the state of the economy. The depression also seems to have influenced another part of his life, and he never married. Holderread explained thaf times were different then; the man was expected to keep a house financially, and because of the times, he felt unable to do so. Holderread has a theory he wishes he could prove. It is simply that every two billion years the earth turns itself inside out and starts over. These winter months, Milfordians have grown accustomed to seeing Holderread in knit hat and sweater. The "ordinary person on a pension" says the sweater was a Christmas gift from a niece who knitted it "with her own itty bitty hands." He said in the costume he looks "like a grizzly bear, I guess."

It is requested everyone bring a covered dish and table service. Dancing will begin at 9 p.m.

Many shoppers are also noticing a bar symbol appearing on many products. This is the Universal Product Code which is a new nationwide identification system for grocery manufcturers and products. The UPC symbol identifies the particular product much like a social security number identifies a particular individual. To be an effective consumer it is important for the individual to be aware and understand the changes taking place in the supermarket. To learn about other changes and better understand the ones listed, pl?n to attend a “Supermarket Update” to be presented at the extension office, Wednesday, March 29, at 7 p.m. This program is open to the public.
