Day care center discussed at Milford

The new Milford Mothers’ Support Group held its second meeting at the Chatter Box at 7 p.m., Monday, July 16. The main topic for the meeting was the development of a day care center for the community. Carol Hurd, currently program director for the Lakeland Day Care Center near Syracuse, presented many of the guidelines for starting a day care center. It was mentioned that the Milford Lions club is looking for a building to purchase as a community building which might be converted to a day care center. Mrs. Hurd pointed out that a day care center which is housed in a church does not require as stringent licensing as one in a public building. Dick Roose, junior high social studies teacher, whose classes have previously done several town surveys, has offered his Twilighters have picnic Fourteen members of the Twilighters Bunco Club of Syracuse and guests, Mrs. Dallas Kitson and Mrs. Paul Stouder, met last Wednesday evening for a picnic at the Lake Wawasee home of Mrs. Robert Moser.

'Birdie' in second week at playhouse

By BILL SPURGEON For the second production of their abbreviated “Summer of ’79” season, the folks at the Enchanted Hills Playhouse east of Lake Wawasee are staging “Bye, Bye Birdie.” Although “Birdie,” resuscitated from a couple of decades ago, has no real ongoing theatrical merit of note, it’s to the Enchanted Hills group’s credit that the local production provides a diverting couple of hours of entertainment. There is music, color, movement, and for those who are more traditional, a thread of a plot involving a rock singer’s visit to the home of a young girl fan in a small Ohio town. Entwined into this is a bit of romance involving the rock star’s manager and his ever-suffering secretary, and in the end all comes to a live-happily-ever-after conclusion, with an unlikely twist or two. As to individual performers, this reviewer would make special note of Brooke Waling as the young fan (she has a winsome v charm and a nice singing voice); John Corona as the manager; Denise Osborn as the secretary ; Ted Manier as . Kim’s real boyfriend (he can sing, too); and Dave Kiefer as the often impatient father who finds his domestic routine upset by all sorts of strange doings but finds that the chance to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show (“the real Ed Sullivan Sullivan show?” he asks) makes it all OK. Mr. Kiefer looks and acts the part of a beleaguered dad of some 20 years ago, and his handling of the role reminds one of the way Paul Lynde did it orginally. There is certainly Birdie: Conrad Birdie, whose own routine is a can of beer for breakfast, and a few moans and grinds for fans and newsmen.

Julia Reed entertains OES past matrons Members of the Past Matrons club of Kosciusko "Chapter 160, Order of the Eastern Star, met Wednesday, July 18, in the home of Julia Reed for their summer meeting. During the business session the following officers were elected: President — Edith Baumgartner Vice president — Berniece Longfellow Secretary-treasurer — Jane Schultz The fall party will be held on November 4 in the home of Mrs. Farrell Cain. Mrs. Longfellow was initiated into the organization. Mrs. Nelson Beer was a guest for the evening and provided selections on the accordian. She then accompanied the women as they sang several numbers. Mrs. Reed served a strawberry jello dessert at the close of the evening. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED — Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Sheline, r 3 box 601-A, Syracuse, are announcing the engagement of their daughter, Pamela Sue. to Jerry Slaven, son of James Slaven, 226 Blackport Dr., Goshen. An October 14 wedding is planned in the North Webster Chur ch of God. Both are employees of Ivy Terrace of Goshen. Miss Sheline attended Wawasee High School. Her fiancee attended Goshen High School.

Dan Sheets does well in the part, moving and acting with all the Presley-promoted pizazz of that particular generation of performers — and his voice is good, besides. And although Joanne Kurtz has a good fling at comedy in the role of the manager’s mother, the night we were there it just didn’t come off; we would lay this not to lack .of effort or ability on Joanne’s part but to the fact that the gags in her lines are ' moderately shopworn, at best. “Birdie” reflects Enchanted Hills Managing Director Jill Stover’s wish to get community people involved: there are a lot of folks of all ages that were recruited from local open tryouts, and they reflect a lot of talent. Because it has a large cast and the Enchanted Hills stage is small, the musical moves irregularly at times, and the scene changes are made with obvious difficulty though with dispatch. The settings are authentic, "the costumes equally so, and the lighting well-handled, v Mrs. Stover pulled it together as director, with *her daughter Laura, Dave Kiefer and Ray McGrath as technical directors; Martha Moseman as musical director (the music was adequately handled, ranging from the sweet to the raucous) and Suzanna Johnson as choreographer (she also had a lot of people to work with and a small space to do it in.) “Birdie” continues this week with performances at 8 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday, andatß:3o Saturday.

LOUISA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa, We have one daughter and one son. The son has finished college and has a good job. Our daughter will be ready to enter college this next year. Now our problem is this. Our daughter is eager to start her college career and to get a good education but our son says that college is not like it used to be and he is afraid for her to go there. He says most of the students have no morals and even some of the faculty are no better. What do you think about this? Mother--N.J. Answer: I agree with a part of what your son has said and that is that college is not what it used to be. However, if you look over the different schools, carefully, and your daughter has been taught what is right and what is wrong, she should be able to cope with situations & which occur. Lousia
