School days, school days...
By EMILY (BELL) THOMAS Guest Eeature Writer As I look back, it seems that my mom's pre-school preparations must have been uneventful in comparison to what I have to face as the mother of a pre-schooler today. Back in 1959, when mom was preparing my entry into school, there were few requirements as far as what your child needed to know to be allowed in the door If you knew your name, where you lived, if you had enough lunch money, and 2 cents for milk, you were set. Dress codes were pretty much standard If you were a boy, you had your hair buzzed-off short and wore your best shirt and pants Foot apparel was pretty much standard except for one rule that you could not wear your street shoes on the gym floor at any time Only tennis shoes could be worn Girls wore dresses with stretch pants < the ones that had the straps on them to keep your feet from falling off when you

from the Northwood Nursing Facility in South Bend. Prior to her four-year administration stint in South Bend, she worked in a retirement home. She grew up in Warsaw and is a Warsaw High School graduate. She furthered her eduction to be able to work in her present capacity, which she enjoys very much. Mrs. Scott is the mother of three children. CHUCK AND and Betty Myers from Joplin. Mo., were in Milford for an Easter weekend visit. He is the son of Mrs. C.S. Myers. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Bray, all of Milford. ANDY AND Janice Shearer have purchased the Dale Mock home on CR 900 and plan to move
were trying to pull those red rub- • ber boots off your shoes). Then, as now. you were expected to know something about telling time. Years ago clocks had 2 hands and 12 numbers, therefore, allowing the child to relate numbers to telling the time Today clocks are manufactured without numbers or clocks that just tells you what time it is. Other requirements such as learning to tie your shoes, buttoning your shirt, and zipping your coat have become an undertaking With the development of Velcro strips, 1 can't help envisioning generations from now running around trying to keep their clothes and shoes on as Velcro strips are phased out only to be replaced by, you guessed it, shoestrings and safety pins. We cannot forget the supplies needed when I entered school. They are as follows: notebook, scissors, glue, a ruler, eraser. 8 crayons, and 2 pencils (the big fat ones that rested on your shoulder

England. Asked if they been near the Libyan embassy, which has been in the news as of late. Mrs. Spearmen said she and her husband managed to walk fairly close to the scene on two occasions; however, the first time there wasn’t much happening and the next time there was an army of media people camping out. “We went to visit, not to politic anyway," she added. STATE REPRESENTATIVE Greg Mishler of Bremen, a former Milford resident and son of Wade Mishler, earned a 99.57 percent roll call attendance record during the 1984 session of the Indiana General Assembly, according to statistics compiled by the house majority staff. Speaker of the House J. Roberts Dailey of Muncie said, “Greg Mishler’s voting record is outstanding and he should be commended and complimented for his conscientious attitude toward representing the citizens of the second district. “Greg’s high roll call vote percentage is a real distinction because voting intelligently takes a great deal of preparation. Each bill must be read and studied, some of which are extremely lengthy, running more than 100 pages. Casting a vote is the first duty of a legislator, and he should never dodge that responsibility
, as you printed). Today, your • child must have looseleaf paper, spiral notebooks, assignment notebooks, pencils, pens, scissors, binder, Elmer’s glue, Super glue, bookdovers, fingerpaints, watercolors, Play-doh, Carebear stickers, Mr. T Stickers, sticker albums, blow dryer, glow-in-the-dark crayons, 64 count box of regular criyons, calculator, and last but not least, a back-pack to carry all these items to school. There are advantages in our schools today. Certain meals were always served on certain days such as hot dogs on Monday, beef-n-noodles on Thursday, and fish on Friday. Now students have a choice of regular or lines (depending on your financial resources). Another important advantage of school todiay is in learning resources available such as visual aids and computers. Yes, mom, things have changed, but I still wish Mandy and Schaya could experience reading “Run, Dick, Run ”, “See Sally Run,” and "Go Spot Go.”
even though many issues are controversial and complex. Greg is a fine example of a conscientious and diligent state representative," Daily said. In the 1984 session, Mishler cast 457 of 459 possible votes for a 99.57 percent record. “The importance of being present each day to represent my constituents by voting on every roll call vote within my power is a responsibility I take very seriously. I feel this is the best way to in-

Heartworms are carried by mosquitoes
By DR. MADELYNN ALLEN Veternarian Heartworms are parasites of dogs which are carried by mosquitoes. Immature forms of the heartworms are picked up by a mosquito as it feeds on an infected dog. After 10 to 14 days, it can pass these immature forms on to a healthy dog. These immature forms travel through he tissues of the dog, enter the blood stream and continue on to the dog’s heart where they mature to adults. Adult worms may reach a length of up to 18 inches. In approximately six months time, the adult worms begin to produce immature forms called microfilariae and release them into the blood stream. It is these microfilariae that your veterinarian looks for when he checks your dog’s blood under the microscope. If these are present, your dog has adult worms in his heart. Heart worms may at first cause no signs. Eventually, however, dogs with heartworms begin to show signs. Most common among the first signs are decreased exercise tolerance, coughing, weight loss and general poor health. More severe signs of heart disease, liver disease or kidney disease may then develop, often
leading to the death of the dog. Dogs which have heartworms need to be treated. This is not only for their own health, but also to prevent them from serving as a reservoir of infection for other dogs. Every dog, including indoor dogs and dogs with thick, long hair coats, should be checked for heartworms each spring before the mosquito season starts. If they have heartworms, they should be treated as soon as possible. If they are negative for heartworms, they should be started on a preventative medication. Dogs less than six» months of age can be started on preventative medication without a blood test. The preventative medication should be started before the mosquito season begins and continued for two months after the last mosquitoes are seen (usually until Jan. 1). This medication will kill the immature forms which are injected by a mosquito before they can reach the heart. Prevention is inexpensive, safe and effective. It is important, however, that dogs be checked for heartworms by a veterinarian before the preventative is started each year. Dogs that already have microfilariae in their blood stream can experience a
shock-like reaction and even die if this is not done. For more information on heartworms or on heartworm disease, contact your local veterinarian.
