Conn., for 35 years. • We ran an item' complete with picture, on the church page of last week’s paper The only problem was the photo was not that of Rev. Jones. It was Vercoe Jones, a Goshen businessman. It would seem that someone read the name Jones and thought it to be the right man. . . alas, it was not On Friday Jones called from Wethersfield to asked the bossman whose photo we u'sed in place of his. W hen he found it was another Mr. Jones he wanted to know more about the man. “ During the conversation Rev. Jones stated he had been at a wedding earlier jn the day and had met the engineer of the steam locomotive that, passed through Milford Junction in June. ’ It’s a small world, isn’t it? , COINSTALLATION SERVICES will be held at the Milford Chapel on Sunday for B?n Shirk who will

become the new minister of that church. T Shirk has served as the church's general superindendent for the past two years, therefore he is no newcomer to the community. At the present time he and his wife, Rosemary, and their two children, Debbie, four; and Benjie, two; reside near Foraker. Theymave plans to move to Our .Town in the future. —O'COUNTY FAIR queen candidate Tami Miller is out seeking votes for this year’s competition. The contest is a penny-a-vote type competition with the girl collecting the most votes being crowned the new queen. The money goes toward helping the Cardinal Center and for helping with other useful projects supported by the sponsoring Warsaw sororities. —o— RESIDENTS IN Milford and North Webster are proud of the new “Miss Indiana’* — Terry Jean Kaiser of Etna Green. Terry, like last year’s “Miss Indiana” is a former “Queen of Lakes." Terry wore that crown in 1975. That was the year Darcy Wolferman, daughter of the Don Wolfermans of near Our Town was the first runner-up. Darcy’s wedding appears elsewhere in this jssue — She is now Mrs. Dennis Mock of Kokomo. Terry has roots in Milford as her grandparents and both her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gene Kaiser of Etna Green, are from Milford. Her mother is the former Katheryn Bretherick. \ Besides the Bretherick ; and Kaiser relatives Terry is ‘also related to the Hamiltons of Our Town and to as least some of the Prices as her grandmother is the former Mrs. William’ Price and her grandfather. William, was a former Milford veterinarian.'

Her other set of grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kaiser, are also former Milford residents who now reside in Etna Green. The new “Miss Indiana” entered the contesF as Miss Plymouth as did the 1977 queen, Barbara Mougin. She was crowned by Miss Mougin at Plymouth and last Saturday at Michigan City. Barbara was first runner-up in the 1977 “Miss America” contest last September. Terri is 22 and was the oldest contestant in the pageant. She is five foof, five inches tall and weighs 115 pounds. She is a brunette. The new "Miss Indiana” preformed a Green interpretive dance for the talent competition. She won the bathing suit competition on Friday night. A graduate of DePauw University, Greencastle, this spring, she planned to enter law school this fall but now states she will probably postpone law school for a year. She was Triton’s junior Miss in 1974 and served as a 1976 Indianapolis 500 Princess. She will be going to Atlantic City in September for the "Miss America” competition. . ’ —o— WE HEARD no complaints about the rain over the week end. Most people were thanking God for sending it.

The rain was truly a shower of blessing. —o—- — WHS basketball coach Jerry Lambert and Betty plan to move to Milford soon where they purchased the Gail Geiger home on East Street. The Geigers are moving to Indianapolis. •’Jerry turned down a number of coaching jobs that would take him out of the area, in favor of remaining in the Lakeland system as a teacher. Betty is a teacher in the Milford schools. —o— NED SPEICHER and his crew were off to Wrigley Field with four bus loads of youngsters from the summer recreation program last Friday. Coming out of retirement for the day was Lakeland bus driver Jerry Bushong who took a bus load of youngsters and his wife, Kathryn, and grandson, Scott Lanier of South Bend, on the day's outing. Other bus drivers making the ' trip were Howard Haab, Oliver Replogle and Charles Berkeypile. —o— DdA HEAR about the Kentuckians (or were they really Hoosiers) who planned a trip to the sun until they were reminded they they would burn up from the heat — they just about gave up until they came up with a logical conclusion: Travel at Night!

Funeral directors take stand

“The proposed trade regulation rule of the staff of the Federal Trade Commission could reduce the caring and sensitive relationship of the funeral director with the family being served to a cold, commercial transaction.” That is the opinion of the Funeral Directors Association after reviewing the recently released report of the Federal Trade Commission staff on the proposed rule. NFDA President Royal Keith of Yakima, Wash., says that the staff report is based on the erroneous concept that following a death the disposition of the body is of greatest importance. Keith declared that if the proposed staff rule becomes effective, the necessary trust relationship that now' exists between the funeral director and those he serves would be impaired. Additionally, costs of funerals would be increased by

James Logan seeks seat The Second District American Party met June 23, and chose James Logan as their nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives to oppose Floyd Fithian in November. • Mr. Logan stated, “Carter’s treasonable give away of the American Canal and the increasing burden of taxes to support all the Socialistic programs now in progress,” as his main issues. Steve Payne uninjured as car hits deer Steve L. Payne, 18. of North Webster, escaped injury at 9 p.m. Saturday. July 1, when a deer jumped in front of his car as Payne was driving west on CR 46 west of CR 33 in Elkhart County. The impact killed the animal, which was thrown into a nearby yard. Damage to Payne’s 1977 Datsun was estimated by police at $275.

United Telephone to reclassify exchange rates

United Telephone Co. of Indiana has filed a petition With the Public Service Commission of Indiana requesting reclassification of 29 exchanges in the state. Maynard Hochstetler, Nappanee district manager for the firm, announced the filing today. The action was taken to maintain a non-discriminatory rate structure between exchanges of equal size, according to Hochstetler. Local service rates for an exchange are determined by the. number of main telephones that can be called on a local or other toll-

compliance with the law’. Up to now- the costs of funerals as to the funeral director have* not increased percentagewise as much as the cost of living. With 1967 as 100 per cent the all items index average in 1977 was 181.5 while the adult funeral average was 156.3. Keith stated that the, general feeling among the nation’s funeral directors and most of the public is that the entire FTC funeral rule proceeding was completely unnecessary. He pointed out that it was predicated on less than a dozen complaints — an infinitesimal number considering the fact that there are almost 2,000,000 deaths per year. Keith added that the very few complaints or problems that do exist in the funeral service field are and can continue to adequately resolved by the laws and regulations of the various states.
