WITH WARMER weather on the way work is being done at the town-owned park on Waubee Lake. The road to the boat landing has been improved and fill dirt has been leveled. Someone even took time to clean the sand hill at the beach. EVER WONDER what a stranger thinks of Milford’s Main Street? We have so we send Linda Hoogenboom of Goshen on a walk down the street with the assignment of returning to the office to write an article on what she saw. Linda is currently learning the ropes here before beginning work in the Goshen office of the paper.’ Her article follows: “A trip down the Main Street in Milford can offer intrigue to someone who has never been there. Everything is a mixture of old and new. The buildings, the cars, the people and their

lifestyle reflect the stubborness of the past and the ever-changing face of the present “The buildings o f Milford are set close together, as if some long-ago planner wanted everything within easy walking distance of one block. Buildings are squeezed together so gracefully that from a distance appear to be one. When walking down the street, the smaller stores, such as the post office and a town restaurant, seem to leap out at you. “Many of the old two-story buildings have been renovated on the first floor. The merchants have nailed up lighted signs and new wood fronts but left the upper stories alone. It is an interesting contrast to find a modern beauty salon made of red cedar on the bottom and a crumbling brick second story that says 1888 on its top. “There are few people on the sidewalks of Milford during the weekday. A mother and two noisy children stop and look into a dime store window. An old woman with a white turban walks by and greets them. Three men work in silence nearby, pouring cement. Their eyes watch a stranger with curiosity but not mistrust. Everyone knows each other here. “The contrasts between old and new in Milford are similiar to many other small Indiana towns. While some may think of these towns as boring, they can offer an

interesting look into the post and the present. “ THIS REPORTER walked into the living room the other night just in time to catch a group of Lakeland Teachers helping with the Channel 34 fund raising drive by answering the telephone.
