Milford's Main street

DEATH LEFT its sting in the Milford community once again with the passing of two persons earlier tids month who were well known senior citizens in the community. Lata FeHuter was 91 when she died. Many area historians had learned to rely on her sharp memory as they dug for hits and pieces of the past. ,•* She was a native of Milford and lived in the community her entire life, with the exception of 14 months when the Felkners (she and her husband, Lloyd) went to Oklahoma homesteading in 1911. During an interview with a M-J reporter four years ago she recalled when Grover Cleveland was running for his second term of office and when William McKinley was shot. She was 93 at the time of the interview and was proud of the fact she was still an active member of the community. She recalled with vivid memory the many changes in Milford over the years. She thought the older days were better when the Inter-Urban was running. It ran from Goshen to Peru and passengers could board the train at “the crossroads” and riders could go anywhere they wanted to. George Auer was 90 when he died on July 9. He too had live a long, good life. He and his wife, Lillian, would have been married 70 years on September 6 of this year — they were often said to have been the area’s couple who had been married the most years and no one disputed the point. George was a farmer in the New Salem area for a number of years. He and his wife moved to Milford in 1972. The Auers had a total of nine children —two died in infancy and World War II claimed their two older sons, Louis and Roy. George always had time for everyone. Before ill health slowed him down he made daily trips to town, stopping and talking to all. The Auer house has always been a place to stop for a friendly

WWtOUT mTv How To Got Youngsters Off MorijooM And Otter Drag Substances The first principle in helping America rid itself of the drug epidemic (crisis) is the wide dissemination of facts. Drugs hurt people, and eventually severely damage society. Every doctor and pharmacist in the country should distribute anti-drug literature — as a top priority & responsibility. Members of these two respected professions are experts on the effects of drugs and people will listen to them above all others. The young are especially vulnerable to the lure of drugs. The home life of millions of young people has been disrupted (the divorce rote is now 50%, and many more grew up as "latch key"' children because both parents were working). As a result, youngsters face the stresses and responsibilities of adolescence and adulthood with anxiety and other painful emotions. Drugs provide temporary relief from these feelings and also an element of pleasure which requires no expenditure of effort. Many of those who use drugs will stop using them when they under stand the facts. These are stronger people who have not become addicted. or whose judgment has not become impaired through the use of drugs. Pot smokers usually cannot see what is happening to them and generally vehemently deny any ill effects from their habit. For this and other reasons, many drug users will not stop — despite what they read or are told. RespMmWty Te Step Drag Use When a user is unable to stop his use of drugs, someone else must assume that responsibility. When young people are the users, then the persons who should take on this heavy responsibility are their parents. The first step is to be certain that the child (of any age) is using drugs, in the case of minor children, parents should first ask the child about drug use; but because drugs generally destroy integrity and trustworthiness, a quiet, behind-the-scene investigation by parents is warranted. The first Step Parents first step should entail an effort to enlighten their youngsterfsj. Parents should periodically investigate to be certain of their continued success; never underestimate the powerful, lasting effects of drug abuse. If the child defies their educational strategy, then parents must “ erect an impenetrable barrier between the child and drugs. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, and the method chosen will depend to a large extent on circumstances. Implement an approach with total commitment and persistence, ft is important not to give up, no matter how rough the going gets. Placing the child in an institution may be necessary in extreme cases. Less extreme measures include escorting the children to and from school, keeping them at home, taking them on an extended trip, etc. When the body (brain, in particular) has been free from drugs for on extended period of time — it may be up to 3 months or more for marijuana users — the mind begins to function better. Personality deterioration ceases and generally reverses, judgment returns, reason begins to take effect again, and a divided family (often severely so) becomes reunited as the bonds within the family are reestablished. Parents should spend much time with their children. Family time and other meaningful experiences should be substituted for "drug time. " New goals for life should be talked about and established whenever possible. Angry & Frustrated Some parents become so angry and frustrated by their hostile and rebellious drug-using children that they kick them out of the home. This is usually a serious error. Kick out the drugs, but not the child. Keeping the youngster at home most or all of the time during the drying-out period may prove to be impossible, but parents should try to find a solution other than turning children out onto the streets. The concept of parents taking responsibility is simple; its implementation may be extremely difficult. The keys to success are total commitment, persistence, and the knowledge that — even though your child is resistant, rebellious, and hostile — subconsciously he'she knows very well that what you are doing is right and in everyone s best interest. Some children do get off illegal drugs through their own efforts as they grow older. I would not rely on this expectation for 3 reasons: • First, some children never get off drugs, and their lives are destroyed. • Second, even if they do get off eventually, many years of productive living will have been damaged or lost. Many opportunities for advancement will have passed them by. Some may catch up. but why risk it? • Third, drugs often induce a psychological regression which may be very difficult to reverse when the user recognizes (after having been dried out) how far he she has fallen by the wayside. These regressions may or may not be reversed. Stemp Ovt IHegel Drags The drug epidemic is real, and it is here to stay — until massive efforts are mounted to stamp out the supply of illegal substances.
