Country life more stressful Fleeing city life for the tranquility of the country is a popular notion ... but two professors suggest it should be the other way around. A study by Stephen Webb of the University of Victoria and John Collette of the University of Utah has found that country living may be more stressful than city life. The researchers discovered that the number of prescriptions filled for stress-relieving drugs — mostly tranquilizers — was greater in rural than urban areas. Webb and Collette, writing in Human Behavior magazine, say they found that rural residents consumed nearly twice as many stress-related drugs and a significantly higher number of "antipsychotic" agents. Proof that lovers are not bothered with thinking is the current crop of popular songs.
WCTU poster winners named
A total of 115 posters were made by fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh graders at the Milford Elementary School for this year’s Women’s Christian Temperance Union poster contest. The competition was under the direction of art teacher Karen Heim.
The theme was based on alcohol, narcotics and tobacco as they relate to problems in the home, social welfare, health, crime, safety, etc. Winners chosen in the fourth, fifth and sixth grade competition are as follows: Troy Alt, first; Mandy Seigfried, second; and Julie Schwartz, third. Winners chosen in the seventh grade are as follows: Rodney Stamp collecting tips available at Milford “What’s Philately?” one might ask. Now comes an easy answer in the form of the book, “Stamps and Stories,” available at the Milford Post Office. Milford Postmaster H. C. Colwell said the book is a 240 page miniature encyclopedia useful for both the beginning and the professional stamp collector. It tells how to start collecting, provides color reproductions of every U.S. postage stamp issue, lists 1979 stamp values of all prior issues, offers 100 stories on the history of stamps and lists the latest prices for plate blocks and sheets of stamps as well as first day covers. “The fun and educational rewards of stamp collecting are unlimited," said the postmaster, “and there are so many ways to get started. Two of the most popular are topical collecting and commemorative stamp collecting.” For two weeks, beginning April 16, all window clerks will have available for customer inspection copies of “Stamps and Stories," recent mint sets of stamps and topical collecting kits on a variety of subjects. This educational effort is part of a “What’s Philately?’’ nationwide program being sponsored by the postal service, Colwell said. Richard Barefoot arrested Richard W. Barefoot, 22, r 1 Syracuse, was arrested by Syracuse police officer Dan Gallmeier, on charges of driving under the influence, public intoxication, disregarding railroad crossing gates of an approaching train and passing on a hill. He was released on $l5O bond.

What to do when the bees invade
It’s spring time, the blossoms are on the way and so are the swarms of bees. About the second week the flowers are in bloom it is natural for both domestic and wild honeybees to swarm. Swarming is a natural way for nature to split a cramped or too strong hive. The bees make another new queen and the old queen is forced to leave with the new bees in the hive. Swarms usually leave the hive and land on a tree limb or something similar. Scout bees search a possible new location for their home. Bees usually swarm early one morning and have a new home by the next afternoon. A perfect home for the swarm is a hollow tree, side of a house or any place that is hollow and has a small entrance. If you find a swarm, call a beekeeper. Don’t Let Them Settle In The time to call a beekeeper is when the bees swarm and cluster on a tree limb. All the beekeeper has to do is shake the limb into a hive. The beekeeper has a new hive and you are rid of the bees. Since the bees fill themselves up with honey before they swarm they do not usually sting. The beekeeper may not even wear gloves or a veil. It may take only 10 minutes. If you wait till the bees establish a colony in a tree or

It Happened ... In Milford
14 YEARS AGO, MARCH 31,1965 The MYF met in the church basement Sunday night. Larry Perrin discussed the lesson “Methodist Beliefs.” Group singing was enjoyed and refreshments were served by
minimum security area surrounded by an 18-foot high fence topped with a razor-sharp metal ribbon. Officers were not aware of the pair’s repeated escapes and returns. Robinson, serving a nine-to-15 year term for burglary, was due to be paroled this month. Mulbrow was serving a three-to-four year sentence for larceny. Now they will have to face new charges of breaking and entering and they will also be charged for the series of robberies that have occurred in Woodbridge.
your house it may take from three to six weeks to get rid of the colony. The process, besides taking a long time, requires a lot of work. First the beekeeper puts a bee escape over the entrance of the colony. A bee escape allows the bees to leave the colony, to forage for nector and pollen, but when it returns, the bee can not enter the hive. The bees cluster around the entrance. About a week after the bee escape is put on the wild colony, the beekeeper brings an empty hive containing a new queen. Soon the bees will leave the entrance of the old colony and go into the empty hive and start setting up housekeeping. After about one or two more weeks, the bees will accept the new queen. The beekeeper then removes the bee escape from the original wild hive. The Dees then rob all the honey that is left in it and destroy the remaining bees and queen. Instead of doing it this way, the beekeeper may decide to take the old hive, comb and all. This may require tearing down or damaging your house or property.
