Firemen, airman rescue kitten
A heroic tree climb by members of the Milford fire department and a young airman took place last Thursday night after a four-month-old kitten found itself up a tree. The animal, a pet in the Jack Maher home on Waubee Lake, was discovered missing around 7 a.m. and a search of the area failed to find the young kitten until the early evening hours when a soft mew was heard coming from one of the huge trees located near the home. The kitten was spotted high in a tree climbing 30 feet into the sky. Shades of big city rescues took shape as the Milford Volunteer Fire Department was called. But alas, the ladders would not go high enough to reach the stranded kitten. Enter the U. S. Air Force, in the form of the Mahers' son Chris who is on leave after serving three years in Holland. Chris and Firemen Max - Duncan, Alvin Haab and Bill Burgett shimmied up the rest of the way and the kitten was soon on the Currently visiting in the Maher home with Chris are his wife, Molly and their daughter, Bridgette. When they leave the Milford area they will travel to California where Chris will be stationed. Another son, Patrick, a sophomore at Ball State University, was home over the past week end to visit with his brother and

Mrs. Appenzeller’s interest in art began at an early age when she watched her grandfather, Sheldon Harkless, as he drew and painted in his retirement years. It was not until 10 years ago that she began her art career however. Then, at the urging of her aunt and uncle, Leia and Ken Harkless, she took a course of lessons from Margi and Martin - Stevens.

Identical Twins Arlene Dellinger, left and llene Hardesty
Twin sisters are special people
By LESLIE WHITMAN A special convention was held over the Labor Day week end in Kansas City, Mo. Attending from this area were Arlene Dellinger, North Webster, and her identical twin sister llene Hardesty from Fort Wayne. Arlene commented this convention, the International Twins Convention, is special in that twins of all walks of life get a chance to be together. She said, "There's a special feeling you can relate to other twins. It's a group you have to be born in to." This year, 500 twins plus spouses and families attended the convention. Over the week end, various activities the twins took part in included a tour of Kansas City and Independence, a rodeo complete with hayride and country music, gospel sing, judging of twins in various categories, cocktail party, banquet and dance, business meeting and finally a breakfast. Arlene said neither she nor her twin won any judging. But, she added, "We go for the fun." The oldest set of twins attending were 83 while the youngest were only 31 days. Each year, the group elects officers for the coming year and decides on future convention sites. In 1979, the convention will be held in Memphis, Tenn., while Toronto, Canada, will be the 1980 site. The North Webster twin also said both she and her sister have held several offices since they started attending the convention in 1955. Twins On People CBS cameras were at the convention taping a segment for the new show "People." Arlene said it should air September 18. Arlene and llene were born in Van Wert County, Ohio, on September 14,1927.1 lene is the oldest by a few minutes. This birth date is also special in that the two were born on their sister Janet Ainsworth's second birthday. Even though they weren't the beauties of the family, Arlene said she and her twin always got the attention. The (Jiris always dressed

alike up until they were married and even then, were often taken for each other. One time, Arlene remembers, her sister came to North Webster to attend a school function. While waiting for Arlene to arrive, a neighbor boy asked llene for a loan of 50 cents to pay the admission fee. She willingly obliged and was later paid back after the boy realized his error. Arlene works as assistant vice president at the Counting House Bank in North Webster. She also sells real estate for Beaty Associates, llene is an elementary school principal at Anthony Wayne in Fort Wayne. The two try to get together once a month. Both women are married and have the same anniversary date. They were married in a double ceremony in 1947. Arlene's spouse, Bob, is retired, llene's husband, Willard, works as a branch manager for the Insurance Claims Company. Arlene has one son, Bruce, 24. Not only do the two look alike, Arlene commented they share many of the same tastes in clothes, music and food. One striking difference, said Arlene, is "she has a green thumb while I will kill everything I try to grow." Another difference is in their feet. Both have one foot which is a half size larger than the other. An advantage to this is that they are on opposite feet, so the pair buys two pairs of shoes and then switches: She definitely feels being a twin has more advantages than disadvantages. "I'm sure it's opened a lot more doors for us than otherwise." Having a twin is also a special feeling, she said. "You're always closer to your twin than to any other member of the family. We've always enjoyed each other's company." Mermaid Festival Contest Arlene said she is hoping to organize a twin's contest to go along with the Mermaid Festival next year. The contest would be held on the day of the parade and the winners would then ride on a float. "I'm sure we could draw a lot of twins, especially here in Kosciusko County."

Cancer victim needs donations Mrs. Barbara Moll of San Pierre, has a special problem. She has cancer of the bladder and is requesting any donations of needlecraft sewing kits and supplies to keep her occupied. The request is the result of her doctor saying she needs the hobby to keep her mind off herself. She wrote a letter into the MailJournal office stating, “I need help to find some old used donated needlecraft sewing books, things made from yarn and felt material, yarn dolls and yarn animals (pompom pets)... I cannot crochet or knit and am not interested in that type of needlecraft sewing, but all other kinds of needlecraft sewing ideas are welcome.” Some of the craft ideas she needs include: things made from egg cartons and plastic bottles; puppets made from stockings; and patterns of animals to hang on refrigerator doors. She is also looking for all kinds of Christmas ideas and patterns as well as macrame flower pot hanger kits and a small two inch and four inch weave-it-looms and patterns. Other materials which Mrs. Moll Would welcome are: colored art foam, styrofoam balls, red ribbons, trim, sequins, buttons, bells, colored thread and large rick-rack. She also wrote. “I cannot pay postage on any package sent to me as my cancer treatments are so costly.” Those wishing to donate items, should send them to: Mrs. Moll, r 1 box 95 San Pierre 46374.
