Third graders learn about residents' careers

Learning can come in a variety of ways. At Milford Elementary School, Mrs. Hand’s third grade class has learned lately from some outside speakers. The class’s first speaker, Mrs. Chris Galegor from Serenade Foods, informed the students about the importance of math in life. Mrs. Galegor, who works with numbers everyday, stressed the importance of learning addition and subtraction and urged the students to work hard and learn the mathematical process. Mr. Stan Wutrich, a truck driver for County Farm Bureau, explained how gas is refined from its original crude oil state. The gas he takes to people is first piped from southern Indiana to Peru, where he picks it up and Registration set forIUSB Registration for Springsemester credit classes»at Indiana University at South Bend will run from Tuesday, Jan. 3, through Friday, Jan. 6, and continue on Monday, Jan. 9, at the IUSB Administration Building.

Two fires reported, no damage Milford’s Volunteer Fire Department answered two calls Christmas Eve, but no damage was reported at the fires. Fire Chief Max Duncan noted a small trash fire broke out at the Chore-Time plant in Milford Christmas Eve, followed with a minor electrical fire at 105 S. James St., Milford. The house, which is owned by Howard Haab Milford, recieved no damage itself, but some rewiring would be needed to correct the faulty connections that started the fire. “There really was no damage at either place,*’ informed Duncan. “We just went out and looked at the fires and made sure they weren’t out of control.” The trash fire at Chore-Time started outside the plant, but the T<iuse has yet to be determined. “I really don’t know how it started,” said Duncan. “Either by someone throwing something away that was on fire, or possibly a chemical reaction.”
