Milford's Main Street «4kml Bra’-'dHL '

EVERYONE HAD a good time Monday night when the witches and goblins, clowns, space people, story book characters, tramps, devils, cowboys and Indians arrived at the Milford Junior High School to see which ones were the best dressed. The photo above shows the first place winners. So many of the youngsters showed up in elaborate and unusual costumes and the judges reportedly had a hard time making their choice in several categories. It was the dragons and a scarecrow that caught the eyes of the judges. The most unusual award went to a black dragon whose costume was elaborately created from garbage bags and scraps of paper. The most original went to a scarecrow complete with straw hanging from every available spot and the grand prize was a purple dragon with papiermache head and tail. Other photos and the names of the winners appear on page one of this issue. —o—- — LOOKING over the events that are scheduled to take place next week end we could not help but pause to think about the following item from an area church paper: t h<K'l It’s a busy world we live in. We get caught up in the race.

Thanksgiving Note Missing Accounting to an old Jewish legend, Lucifer, son of the morning, after he had fallen from heaven, was asked what he most missed. His reply was, “I miss most of all the trumpets that are sounded in heaven each morning." Is not this the one great lack in many lives today? There is needed more and more the clear trumpet note of joy and thanksgiving. Many persons ore more ready to sing a dreary "Miserere" than a joyous song of praise to God. We need less of the spirit of sadness and melancholy, and’more of the abandonment of joy that thrilled in the heart of the Psalmist when he summoned God's people to "praise him with the sound of the trumpet," to "praise him upon the loud cymbals." to "praise him upon the high sounding cymbals." We miss from many lives the sound of the morning trumpet. God must miss the hearing from many who ought to be glad the sound of the joy trumpet of thanksgiving. At this Thanksgiving season let us blow the trumpet of thanksgiving — and then let us keep on blowing it as an every morning expression of our gratitude.

And sometimes our sense of values, slips a little out of place. It’s a good thing to pull over to the roadside now and then, And get our thinking straightened out before we start again. On Saturday the women of the Christian Church in Our Town are holding a rally with all women from the area invited to attend. The rally will begin at 9 a m. and last until 3:30 p.m. with speakers, workshops and a crafts display. A salad bar luncheon will be served at noon. Later in the evening the American Legion will hold an open house with fish fry from 5 to 7:30p.m. Following Sunday morning church services the Milford Lions will hold a ham and bean dinner in the fire station. Serving time will be from 11:30 until2p.m. -oA WEEK ago Dr. T. A. (“Al”) Miller flew to Colorado Springs. Colo., to spend a two-day week end with his son, Paul, a first classman at the air force academy, marking “Dad’s Day.” They skipped the Air ForceNavy football game, a highlight of the dad’s week end. to go to a

mountain retreat of Paul’s for some quiet fishing. —o— THE TREES are showing a palatte-full of colors, from dark red to bright gold to pale green: we’ve had a beautiful October and November is arriving with the same promise of warm breezes which will no doubt bring down the leaves and scatter them about. The rich scent of burning leaves is in the air; and the kids, in sweatshirts are running around all over the place. What does it all mean? It’s a beautiful autumn in Milford! — o— MANY LOCAL organizations are taking advantage of the beautiful season by scheduling activities for next week end, as proclaimed by a variety of posters in store windows. The Legion has signs out on the fish fry. The Lions have signs out on their ham and bean dinner. Another poster tells of the ladies rally with the theme being, “The Christian Woman — A Spectrum of Silhouettes.” And the UMYF is bringing back the ante-bellum South with their “Slave Days,” November 4 and 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Here's a good chance to get rid of all those fall chores you’ve been putting off. Another announcement visible on Main Street is for the Milford Emergency Community meeting which everyone should attend. It will be held November 8 at 7:30 p.m. in the Milford Fire Station. —o— THE NEXT time you’re walking down Milford's Main Street, look up above the store windows at the tops of the buildings. Several of them are dated and a few have names as well. The white brick building that now houses Campbell’s Market, for instance, bears the legend I. OPPENHEIM and the date 1902. South of it, across the street, where Heritage Real Estate is located, is FELKNERS BLOCK, built in 1875. And the old Hotel Milford, now deserted and boarded up, dates to 1890. Interesting to ponder how many different generations of Milfordites these old buildings have seen pass by.

Winter delivery of rural routes

Rural and highway contract route carriers will make every reasonable effort to serve as many customers as possible during severe winter weather, using alternate roads or retraces when necessary. These carriers are not expected to provide service on foot when roads on entire blocks or large portions of their routes are impassable or when access to mailboxes (along a continuous segment of the route) are blocked. When severe weather conditions arrive postmasters will give careful consideration to traffic advisories issued by authorities and media, in determining whether rural and highway contract route carriers should attempt delivery or if delivery service should be suspended on a particular day. Highway officials are responsible for keeping public roads passable and in good repair. In areas not maintained by road authorities, the owner of the road is responsible. Customers are responsible for keeping approaches to boxes clear of snow, vehicles and other obstructions, which may make delivery of mail difficult, or at times impossible. Failure to open

approaches to mailboxes promptly after heavy snows may temporarily prevent carries from making delivery (or may result in temporary curtailed delivery). If excessive and extended detours are necessary, it may be necessary that customers.
