Ha/f a day for mothers-/n-/aw

Mothers-in-law can’t seem to win. Their “day " is coming up on Sunday, Oct. 24, but it’s only been recognized by half the U.S. Congress. The House of Representatives last October passed a resolution officially naming the fourth Sunday in October as Mother-in-Law's Day. In November, Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D-Tex) introduced a similar proposal in the Senate (S.J. Res. 128) but it hasn't been acted on yet and probably won’t be until after the holiday this year. But hopes are high that mothers-in-law soon will have an official day of their own to help make up for the centuries of abuse they've tolerated with remarkable good humor. Mother-in-Law’s Day is dedicated to remembering a group of women who have contributed positively to family life despite a lot of bad jokes and more serious torments. Sen. Bentsen's interest in mothers-in-law is understandable because one of the first efforts to do something for them occurred in his state in the 19305. An Amarillo newspaper publisher promoted a Mother-In-Law’s Day celebration in that city for a number of years after one of his columns upset his own mother-in-law. One year. 125,000 visitors, including First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, traveled to Amarillo for a Mother-in-Law’s Day parade and other festivities. Since 1977. half the states and more than 20 cities have proclaimed the day at one time or another. Governor Ed Herschler of Wyoming, for example, recognized the day after he got into hot water by describing his mixed feelings on an issue as being “like watching my mother-in-law drive off a cliff in my new car.” W’hile mother-in-law jokes still persist to some extent, most people seem to be genuinely fond of their “other mothers.” As one man said. “If my wife ever throws me out of the house. I’ll run home to her mother!" A daughter-in-law put it more Milford police receive 133 complaints Milford Marshal David Hobbs, subml .ted a summary of the police department's activities to the Milford Town Board. The report was submitted at the town board meeting Tuesday evening. Oct. 12, and include activities from September 14 to October 12. During the past month the department received 133 complaints and investigated two traffic accidents which estimated to $1,700 damage. There were four traffic arrests made, five misdemeanor arrests and two juvenile arrests. The Milford Police issued seven warnings. There were three stolen property reports taken and two theft reports investigated. Officers recovered two of the stolen property items which valued $1,300. A total of four gun permits were issued and eight dog complaints were received with three dogs impounded. Police made four record checks and took one lost person report. There were three cars removed from the city'Streets and officers responded to two alarms. The department gave six courtesy services and received one vandalism report. A total of 29 title cheeky were made by the police and 11 messages delivered. The police car was driven a total of 1,740 miles and used $225 in gas and oil. The car receives 9.9 miles per gallon.

Darrell D. Stearley of Southbrook Park, Warsaw, has been named Northern regional customer services manager. The

poignantly: “Mother is a word for love; in-law just means we found it later.” Jokes are just one of the punishments mothers-in-law have suffered over the years. Shunning was'common in some ancient cultures because of fears that even looking at your mother-in-law could cause blindness or sterility. The question now is, will the U.S. Senate be as brave as the House, where members let everyone know how they stood on mothers-in-law in a roll call vote on the resolution 9 The resolution passed, 305 to 66 with 28 abstentions. Among those who will be watching the Senate action with interest will be Rep. Jonathan Bingham (D-NY) and Rep. Edward Derwinski (R-IL), who co-sponsored the House resolution with 216 other members. However, if the resolution fails in the Senate, Bingham and Derwinski won't be able to lead a renewed fight — they both are* leaving Congress this year. Such is the luck of mothers-in-law. Theft at local business solved John Richardson, 16, Milford, was arrested by Milford Marshal David Hobbs, solving the theft of several items from The Papers Incorporated and confessing to thefts at several stores in Kosciusko and Elkhart Counties.
