Milford's Main Street

ANOTHER BIG one! This sunflower was raised by Emma Clayton Krauter of Our Town and is 18 inches around. While this one was grown for bird seed: others in Indiana are being grown commercially for their vegetable oil content. Sunflowers are becoming big business although many area farmers doubt they will ever replace the corn and soybeans grown here. Shown with the huge flower are nine-year-old Jimmy Baker and his six-year-old brother, Jason. The boys made the trip to The MJ office with Emma when she brought us her prize. —o—- — SET of keys were found on the school parking lot and thus far no one has claimed them. School secretary Virginia Bess states it appears the keys have a car key, a house key and a key to a gas tank. Lost your keys? Contact the Milford Junior High School office. —o— TWO MILFORD women, Melba Hunsberger and Sarah Slabaugh, have returned from a 14-day trip to the easter states with the Back to the Bible group from Lincoln. Neb. One of the highlights of the trip, even for the Hoosiers, was a tour of the Indianapolis Speedway. Something many of us never take time to visit. —o— HAVE VOL' noticed the United Way is over the top ... at least in Milford and Van Buren Town-

We have been given new attitudes of love for our fellow-man, a desire to serve others unselfishly (as did Christ); to be hard working individuals. To set a standard of justice and equality among men and not show partiality to certain favored people. To be peacemakers, even when it hurts us. To stand strong against sin and injustice. These things are fruits of the Holy Spirit that God wants for this great nation of ours. If we don’t turn back to God, our nation will destroy itself, through overspending, greed, theft, inflation, self-seeking and immorality. We cannot legislate these things, we need men in government with changed hearts — Born again Christians — then we’ll come back to being a prosperous and successful nation. I’m not a perfect Christian, but I know and seek the Lord for guidance and direction. As I do this, I can truly be a good representative of the one half million people of the Second Congressional District and serve my God as well, because in serving my fellow citizens. I’m serving God too. * I have strength for all things in Christ who empowers me — I am ready for anything and equal to anything through him who infuses inner strength into me.

ship. Becky Doll and crew are to be congratulated. —o—- — WITH a subscription renewal check comes a letter from former resident John C. Hoerr. He states. "I miss all the good people at Milford, having moved back to Peoria, HL, and residing at the Peoria Apostolic Christian Home. I have a nice, new efficiency apartment in the ad-

dition completed this spring. This is built on the west bluff of the Illinois River Valley, a marvelous view of river and bluffs to the east. “I truly miss walking down your Main Street and everyone greeting me by name..." —o— MILFORD DRUGGIST John Perry and Dan Levernier are planning an eight-day trip to Rome, Italy, beginning November 15. —o— HAVE YOU noticed the roof is now on the Tim Campbell home south of Milford? — o— WE ASKED w ho could produce a radish larger than the one pictured last week and we got one. This larger one is just two ounces under five pounds! Wow! And, in whose garden did it grow ? Al Graff’s, of course. —o— A VERY important date for Milford citizens to remember is the EMS meeting on November 8 when the proposed equipment

purchases will be explained. The meeting is set for 7:30 p.m. in the Milford Fire Station. —o— CONGRATULATIONS GO to the Milford Trojans and their coaching staff. See feature on sports page. The team scored a total of 170 points while having no points scored against them in the six-game season. They should be welcomed additions to the Warrior squad next season. —o—- — MAY call it Jacob Lake or Lake Jacob. The Wayne Bucher family has a name like this in mind for the new 110-acre lake being developed as a recreation and building site on the Bucher farm near Dewart Lake. The name, of course, would be a namesake for Jacob Bucher, head of the Bucher clan. At the present time homes are being built around the lake which will eventually have 30 home sites. A road to meet county road standards is being built around the lake, which will eventually become a county road. Booked in county jail Terry Allen Dove, 19, Milford, has been charged will illegal possession and illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage. He was held at the Kosciusko County jail over the week end. No bond has been set. $ 1,200 damage in car-truck accident Saturday Don H.

Kinney, 29, 914 East Main St., Warsaw, was stopped in tht‘ s westbound lane of Lyon Street. When she started to go across Detriot St, her truck collided with the northbound Arnold auto.

Dana reports record earnings Dana Corporation directors announced an increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $.34 per share. This is the eighth consecutive quarterly increase. Dana currently has the longest consecutive quarterly cash dividend increase record of any Fortune 500 industrial company. The annual rate has been raised to $1.36 from $1.32 per share. The new quarterly rate of $.34 per share will be paid December 15. Ren McPherson, Dana chairman, reported that Dana achieved record earnings and sales for the eighth consecutive year during 1978. Earnings for the year ended August 31, were $134 million or $4.22 per share, compared to earnings of SIOB million or $3.61 per share for fiscal 1977. Sales for the year totaled $2,253 million, compared to $1,794 million for fiscal 1977. Gerry Mitchell, Dana president, said that sales for all of the company’s operating divisions exceeded last year’s levels. He noted that while sales in each of Dana’s three basic markets — vehicular, service and industrial — were higher than in 1977, Dana continues to accomplish its goal of achieving sales distribution balance among the three. Mitchell stated that Dana added 46 facilities worldwide during 1978 and that the new total of 388 facilities places the company in a better position than ever to serve the expanding needs of its customers. Capital projects already underway during fiscal 1979 will provide additional capacity in several manufacturing areas, particularly those serving the light and heavy truck markets. Reviewing Dana's fiscal 1979 outlook, Mitchell noted that current customer order schedules remain very heavy and that presently all forecasting measurements indicate another excellent year for the company. $ l5O damages in 2-car crash Damage estimated at $l5O resulted last Wednesday morning in a two-car accident involving Beatrice M. Vannoster, 59, 13498 CR 50 Syracuse. The accident occurred in the 700 block of W. Pike St. in Goshen when a 1978 Chevrolet, driven by Mrs. Vannoster hit a 1975 Chevrolet, driven by Thomas E. Winship, 41, of Topeka, when she attempted to change traffic lanes.'

Personalized license plates available

Commissioner Ralph VanNatta of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced that citizens of Indiana may now enjoy the fun of personalized license plates while contributing to the two major political parties. The additional fee is S4O, S3O of which will be divided equally between the two major political parties as a tax deductible political contribution. State Republican Chairman Bruce Melchert and Democratic State Chairman Donald Michael joined in endorsing this plan. Commissioner VanNatta noted that over 4,000 citizens purchased personalized plates last year. “From our reports, the public enjoys these plates. Although initials are probably the most popular, we have reserved team nicknames, business names, and car descriptions such as ‘67 VETT’ and ‘32 PLY .” While the Bureau of Motor Vehicles reserves the right to deny any personalized plate application found objectionable, an individual may order almost any letter-number configuration provided it does not resemble any current Indiana license plate configuration. Among the more imaginative plates reserved in the past are

ILOVEU, RED FOX, UMPIRE, TEEIUP, BIONIC, HOT DOG, TALYHO, WIZARD, 2TH DOC, DISCO, and CRUZINT, IOKUOK. Personalized plates must be reserved by December 31, 1978. Re-reservations of plates purchased last year must be made by October 31, 1978. If a plate is not re-reserved by this date, it becomes available to any individual on November 1,1978.

“Other states utilizing this system have informed us that it takes up to three years for the public to become familiar with personalized plates,” Commissioner VanNatta reported. “We hope that as people observe these plates on the highway, they will be interested in purchasing one themselves.”
