top of this column. The letter arrived as we were closing out the column but it confirms the fact it is the Miles cottage at Pickwick Park on Lake Wawasee. She relates her family and the Miles family were very good friends and her mother, sister Helen and she spent many happy times there during the summer as the girls were growing up. What interested her part* ticularly was the identification of the three women. One was identified as J. Banta. Since her mother was part of the, Henn Banta family and the name is not a common one. she seeks more information. She had cousins (first cousinis removed or second cousins) with the following names: Veffa; Lola; Irene; and a Lillian Veffa was a blonde. Lola and Irene were brunettes and Lillian was a ravishing auburnhaired beauty’ that people in Milford often mentioned in later years. 1 was so young at the time she visited with my cousin. Carl (her husband), states Mrs Brebner. that I don’t actually have a memory of her looks jonly the fact they were there and the way people spoke of her beauty. She was from AustriaHungary and spoke languages fluently. .Although "Auntie Miles” as they used to call Mrs. Pret (Lizzie), Miles was always well known to me. I couldn't have identified any of the women by looking at the picture, says Mrs. Brebner. We couldn’t have either. The names were writen on the back of the photo. Mrs Brebner would also like! to know the apporoximate year the photo was taken We can’t help her. can anyone else’’ Apostolic women knot comforters Comforters were knotted and other projects worked, on at jthe Apostolic Christian Church fellowship hall Thursday afternoon, Jan. 8.

The Mount Tabor Church of God, located six miles south of Nappanee at CRs 800 W and 850 N in Kosciusko County, will dedicate a new Christian fellowship center on Sunday, Jah. 18, at 2 p.m. The new Christian center was constructed by r. D. Borkholder Computers write ads The next time you read a real estate ad proclaiming a property’s “gorgeous view" or a home's “cozy atmosphere," bear in mind the ad may have been written by a computer. The Computer Advertising Company in Sandusky. Ohio, reports it has programmed a machine to digest reams of statistics on a piece of property and then spew out a 50 to 60 word ad. In a test run. for example, data describing the White House in Washington. D C. were entered into the computer. The machine promptly suggested such eyecatching titles as “executive estate with great flair,” “deluxe home of distinction,” “stately home with special charm" and "baronial home in preferred area.”
