PARENTS ARE having a lot of trouble with their kids these days. Last week Norma Rockabye came into my office, her eyes red from tears. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “800-hoo,” she said, “my kids are a pain in the neck. When they were babies I used to think that getting up in the middle of the night to feed, diaper and rock was a bad dream. Now that they’re teenagers, it’s more like a nightmare.” As she blew her nose some more, it gave me time to ask a question: “What seems to be the problem?” She replied, “June, July and August. Kids should be made to go to school 12 months out of the year.” For the next hour Norma gave a- - commentary on the lives of her three teenagers. Punctuated with sniffles, Norma said, “Their rooms are disaster areas. I guess they really can’t see the mess with all that hair hanging down in their argue with me constantly, pointing out that I’m way behind the times. My hearing is about shot from all the loud music they play. I can understand why they call it rock music, because it sounds like a load of rocks being dumped on a tin roof. They live on hamburgers, pop, candy and bubble gum. They travel like wild dogs, and their chief goal in life is to own a car or a motorcycle." As Norma paused for station identification, I asked, “Do you think you’ve done something wrong?’’ “Definitely,” she replied, “I made a mistake by having them in the first place.” I asked her if she had tried praying. She said that she prayed every night that June, July and August would pass quickly. If Norma is any indication of the future, I can predict a rather sharp drop in the birth rate. The above item is copied from a column called “Parson Jones” and was handed to us by one of Our Town’s mothers who thought it worth a laugh or two. —o— REPORTS ARE firemen were called to the Graff Mobile Home’ Park last Wednesday evening but returned to the station within a few minutes. It seemed someone burned their supper! —oWHEN THE Kosciusko County Fair begins next week Milford’s Amy Speicher, the 1979 Fair Queen, will reign over events.

Dee has already walked off with the top honors in the decorated umbrella competition held Saturday during the Pioneer Days Parade. —o— SPEAKING OF Waubee Lake, the Property Owners Association reports the weed cutter is working great and the EPA study timetable is right on target. The association feels the entire Milford area will benefit from the study, especially during warm, muggy days when the clean sand and cool water at the beach feel so good. The lake association is getting ready to hold its one fund raising activity of the year. A carry out chicken barbecue will be held on Sunday, Aug. 10. The chicken will be provided and prepared by Nelson’s Golden Gio of Wakarusa. It will be available, according to co-chairmen Jack Maher and Tim Smith, at Bruce’s Marathon Station, SR IS and Emeline Street in Milford from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., just in time to be picked up after church on Sunday morning. By the way, advanced orders will be accepted by any officer or director of the association. -oBARTH IS once again sponsoring the Barth LPGA SIOO,OOO golf classic.

Mrs. Calvert was one of 300 consultants honored at a banquet during the jamboree for meeting special requirements. —o—“DID YOU feel the earthquake?” That’s the question that people all over town seem to be asking one another. Some did, others did not. The tremor, centered in Kentucky, lasted from eight to nine seconds and did no damage in the state of Indiana. Those who think earthquakes are unusual should take note that

Indiana has had 43 earthquakes since 1827. —o— IT HAS been an interesting summer for the James Gawthrop family of 67639 CR 31 Goshen and daughters, Jama and Jennifer. It has also been exciting for the girls’ grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Gawthrop of Waubee Lake. Jama entered the Mermaid Festival’s “Queen of Lakes” contest in June as “Miss Waubee Lake.” The 19-year-old Purdue student was named first runnerup in the competition for the coveted crown.
