The lucky fish, weighing in at four pounds, IS ounces, was landed on Friday the 13th!

The prize was awarded as part of a Fall Fishing Rodeo held at the lake. Norm is eligible to win a grand prize of SIOO, to be awarded to the angler catching the largest catfish in the entire contest. —o— THOSE ORANGE mounds at supermarkets and roadside stands remind that it’s pumpkin time again. Some families enjoy making pumpkin faces at Halloween and children especially get a thrill at seeing a jack-o-lantern carved before their eyes. A few homemakers— but not manystill cut up pumpkin and prepare it for pie. Pumpkin, from the French word "pompion," means "cooked by the sun.” Sugar or New England pie pumpkins are small, round and deep orange in color. They are especially good for pie baking. Spookie is a recommended variety. Connecticut Field and Jack-O-Lantern varieties are large and more favorable for carving Halloween faces. Large pumpkins are usually of the Mammoth variety. They weigh 60 pounds or more but their flesh is often stringy and fibrous and not good for eating. And, now that we have everyone educated on pumpkins we need to remind parents who may have missed it elsewhere that the annual Lions, Legion and Auxiliary Halloween Festival will be held at the Milford Junior High School next Monday night. Starting time is 6 p.in. &

Mail service to Canada suspend The U.S. Postal Service is embargoing all mail to Canada due to a work stoppage affecting that nation’s postal system. Canadian postal officials requested the immediate suspension of all mail to Canada from the United States and informed the Postal Service that all mail service from Canada to the United States is suspended until further notice. The embargo means no mail for Canada will be accepted at any U.S. post office. Mail in the postal system bound for Canada will be returned to the sender. Refunds of postage for returned mail will be available. The Postal Service advises customers that once the suspension is lifted and service is restored, they can cross off the endorsement "Postal Service temporarily suspended” on returned mail for which no postage has been refunded and re-enter into the mails at no extra cost.

Warsaw City Patrolman Larry Engle claims that Forks stole some prerecorded tapes, valued at $l2O from the auto owned by David Schmidlin, 18, 1101 SR 15 South, Warsaw, on Tuesday. According to Schmidlin, Forks had stopped at his residence to deliver salt, and had been in the garage for some time when Schmidlin decided to investigate. When he went to the door he noticed Forks looking through the tapes in his auto. After Forks left Schmidlin inspected the tape case and found some tapes missing. Patrolman Engle found the tapes later on Tuesday on the front seat of the truck driven by Forks. County Patrolman Jeffrey Bronsing believed that Forks also stole SSOO in cash from the Jim Adams’ home, r 2 Akron, between October 8 and 14.

averages out to one death every 7.2 hours. It has become a plague . . . and we must do something about it.” Shettle added that alcohol was a cause in 50 per cent of these deaths. “Thirty-three per cent of this number have been found to have a history of drinking problems. “A real source of help are the numerous drivers who have citizens band radios in their cars. We implore these radio people to report on Emergency Channel 9 any dangerous drivers they see on the road.” The superintendent reminded citizens that when police officers are occupied with traffic violators, they cannot be investigating criminal cases. “With the current crime rate, citizens must begin policing their own actions on the highways."
