Youngsters may go door to door between 6:30 and 8:30p.m. Town Marshall David Hobbs promises his men will be on the streets in full force, not only to watch for vandals, but to help insure safe street crossings for young ghosts and goblins. —o— MEMBERS OF the United Methodist Church will miss Paul and Diane Fulp and family as they leave the ministry and he takes a position in the business world. Sunday will be his last day in the pulpit at the Milford Church. —o— VERY SPECIAL congratulations go to Mrs. H. H. (Edith) Sharp of South Main Street. Mrs. Sharp was honored by the Order of the Eastern Star on Tuesday for her 75th year as an OES member. Mrs. Sharp is the only person in the state to be so honored this year. —o— SYNONYM ...

The queens are Argine, Esther, Judith and Pallas typifying noble birth, piety, fortitude and wisdom. —o— HERE’S ANOTHER tidbit that might interest some of our readers: Azusa, Calif., supposedly takes its name from the legend A to Z in the USA, thus Azusa. However, it is interesting to note that the Gabrielipb Indians, who at one time inhabited the area, used the word azusa in their dialect to identify what you would call a skunk.
