Milford's Main street

THE MILFORD Lions are hard at work to insure the success of their September 10 auction and flea market.

The flea market will open at 8 a.m. with the auction slated for 10:30 a.m. Persons wanting more information on either the auction or the flea market should contact D. G. (“Bud”) Seely, Don Wolterman or the Milford Large Animal Clinic.

the Charles Schell family on Sunday. Jean Hoffer was honored on the occasion of her birthday. Other guests were Don Hoffer; Kathy Hoffer; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rule and children, Jan, Jill and John; David Hoffer and daughters, Lea and Birta; Mrs. Audrey Harmon; and Mrs. Dixie Ward. All of the guests are from the, Warsaw area. WITH THE coming of fall many improvements are underway both at area homes and businesses. Work is almost completed on a new sidewalk at the Mishler Funeral Home and the Wade Mishler home on North Main Street. All types of painting and yard work are underway at. many homes in the area as residents realize the warm weather won’t be here forever and want to complete outside work while they still can. THE MILFORD Jayceettes will be taking to the streets with the help of the Jaycees on Satur-

day as they collect money for muscular dystorphy. The Jayceettes and Jaycees will be collecting money from motorists in the downtown Milford area as well as at the stoplight on SR IS. THE LATEST report on the population of the world shows 4.7 billion people live on the planet earth. This is up nearly one billion in the last decade. WITH SCHOOL open the streets of Milford are quiet during the school day but motorists should be on the watch for the youngsters during the early morning and afternoon hours when school is not in session as youngsters are youngsters and no matter how often they have been told to look before crossing the street they sometimes forget and dart out to retrieve a lost ball or other object without looking. It’s time the age old warning again — Drive carefully — school’s open. THIS NEWSPAPER received a letter from Julie Anna Baldwin this week from Kenieba, via Bamako, Mali, West Africa. Julie is the daughter of the Chuck Baldwins, Lakeland area residents who are serving in West Africa as missionaries. Her letter follows: My mommy and daddy think that I should write you this month (July). They are afraid you don’t know enough about me, so I’ll tell you about myself and my surroundings. When I arrived in Kenieba from Dakar on June 7,1 had lots of little friends waiting for the airplane and to see me. I’m a new fascination to the African children here. Many have never seen a “white-skinned” baby, and especially a baby whose mother carries her over her shoulder and not on her back. (Actually, Mom tried to carry me on her back in a cloth backpack, but I put up a ruckus. African babies may like it, but not me.) My first couple of weeks in Keineba, I had Africans coming to greet me all the time. Some brought gifts like a sack of oranges, a papaya, or a handful of vegetables. Everybody was worried I’d have heat rash when I got to Mali, but it’s not been bad at all. The rains keep it cooled off every couple of days. 1 sure like sleeping those afternoons when it rains. Mom keeps me covered with cornstarch so I don’t break out in rash on those miserably hot days. My new friends, the village children, come nearly every day to see me. When they come to play with the toys and books Mom gives them, she sits me in a seat in front of the screen door so everyone can se me. All the Serving our country JEFFERY LIVINGS Army Reserve Pvt. Jeffery C. Livings, son of Pauling Fairweather of 71099 CR 35, Syracuse, has completed the basic field artillery cannoneer course at Fort Sill, Okla. During the course, students were taught the duties of howitzer or gun section crewman. They also received instruction in communications, maintenance and the handling of ammunition and explosives. BRAD LECOUNT Army Pvt. Brad A. LeCount, son of Bob L. and Glenda R. LeCount of r 1 Milford, has completed one station unit training (OSUT) at the US Army Infantry School, Fort Benning, Ga. OSUT is a 12-week period which combines basic combat training and advanced individual training. The training included weapons qualifications, ssquad tactics, patrolling, landmine warfare, field communications, and combat operations. Completion of this course qualifies the soldier as a light-weapons infantryman and as an indirect-fire crewman. Soldiers were taught to perform any of the duties in a rifle or mortar squad. He is a 1983 graduate of Wawasee High School, Syracuse. Irish setter impounded Brenda Stamper, 918 East Chicago St., Syracuse, reported to police that a red female Irish Setter with tags on was in her yard on August a. The dog was picked up by county animal authorities.

children greet me with “Bonjour” (the only French word many of them know — but they know I don’t understand any Bambara yet) and I just take it all in and grin. Mom and I are pretty well confined to the house. So many children around us are sick that I have to stay out of their reach. Whooping cough and measles are what I have to especially watch out for. I’ve already been sick once. Our nurses said I had malaria. I was miserable for two days and was given a series of three quinine shots to break my fever. Each week I take anti malaria medicine along with Mom and Dad, but this one week it didn’t help, I guess. Daddy’s always telling me I’m getting big (“fat” is usually what he says). I weighed 15 pounds when I turned three months. My favorite buddies are my fingers. I enjoy munching on them constantly. I’m still fascinated with the baby in the mirror that is always smiling

back at me. Dad and Mom think it’s the funniest thing when I smile at “that baby in the mirror.” I’m just beginning to laugh out loud, especially when I get bounced on a knee. Dad and Mom are anxious to dedicate me in our Kenieba church. Since Pastor John has a new son (three months younger than me), we will probably be dedicated at the same time. I haven’t seen Issac yet but it’s going to be fun having someone my age on the mission compound to grow up with. I’ll probably not realize for a long time that Isaac’s a different color than I am. Dad says not to close without telling you that the other day when he was in town he had someone at the police house ask if he could marry me when I grow up. Since then others have joked about it. I guess they feel it doesn’t hurt to ask. Mom says keep this short or no one will want to hear from me again, so I’ll close. I’m getting

kind of hungry anyways. See you in another letter — love, Julie LOOK FOR a Milford business to change hands this fall. Police search for missing Syracuse boy Laura Davis, who resides at the corner of US 6 and CR 23 near Syracuse, reported to authorities that on the afternoon of August 26, her two-year-old son was taken from her home by Roy Kelly, Jr., in his 1964 red and white Ford van, which carried an improper license plate in its rear window. She told authorities Kelly was not the boy’s father. Syracuse police unsuccessfully searched far Kelly, and later enlisted the aid of Elkhart, Kosciusko County and Indiana State police in the search for Kelly and the youngster.

Many will misjudge i

By EDWARD THORLUND One of the warnings brokers have been sounding in recent months concerns high-tech and other exotic stocks, many in the over-the-counter market. The rise in this market in 1982-83 was sensational, but prices fell a few months ago and the highs of May and June are no longer the current price for many of these stocks. Computer-related companies, many new companies, seeking to enter the service field with advanced technology, have attracted investors. Some of the new companies will no doubt grow, and perhaps rapidly, and the price of their shares will grow. But some of these new companies will likely fail. It’s good to keep in mind that while computers and high-tech stocks are the future, to a degree, in any changing society some companies hoping to ride the transitional tide will mis-judge. One broker has suggested investors refrain from making major plunges with new-era stocks and new companies unless those companies show a profit for a

year’s operation — and a prospect for greater profit. One attraction, to some, of such stocks is that they often sell cheap. In the past year many have sold for less than a dollar a share. This is how fledgling companies raise capital. And while the idea for a company, and profits, may be good, or sound good, all new* companies are a gamble. Thus a 60 cents stock may not be the bargain it appears to be. Highway department closes SR 13 SR 13 in Kosciusko County will be closed 8.1 miles north of US 30 from September 7 until November 1 for repairs to the Tippecanoe River Bridge, announced the Indiana Department of Highways. Adding approximately seven miles, the official detour is US 30, SR 15 and US 6.
