MEMBERS OF the Milford, Leesburg and Mid-Lakes Lions Clubs teamed up with the Lions District 25-B Hearing Services to sponsor a free hearing screening for preschoolers (ages 3*4 to 6) last evening in the Leesburg United Methodist Church. A total of 25 youngsters were tested. Seven of these were reported to have a problem. Shown above are Shannon Barger, five, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Barger of Leesburg, and Evans Wilkinson of Fort Wayne. Wilkinson is director of a screening program which covers a nine-county area in northeastern Indiana. This is the second year for the joint program. Last year’s screening was held in Milford. Dr. Bruce Lamb of the Milford club noted this morning that the clubs plan on holding another screening in September or October. The fall screening will be held in Milford. The Lions began this program because the key to hearing conservation is the early detection of hearing disorders. Unlike vision problems, hearing disorders are not always easily detected by the parents. Most parents presume their children are hearing properly. The sooner the hearing problem is detected, the earlier a diagnosis can be made which will lead to prompt medical treatment, thus bettering the chances of a successful recovery. The program is only a screening program to alert and make aware to parents the possibility of impaired hearing. The Lions Clubs emphasize before the screening is held that it will not attempt to diagnose, prescribe or in any way infringe on those services provided by porfessionals in the medical or restorative area. That job, Lions officials say, belongs to the doctors and the choice of doctors is up to the parents.

School girls’ basketball team going to the state finals. This month we are excited over the fact two of the school corporation’s Future Problem Solving teams won state honors. L • . Syracuse won first in the intermediate division and will now enter national competition in lowa in June. Members of the team are pictured on the front page of this issue. The Milford sixth grade team placed third in the junior division. Keith Bice, Matt Haab, Emily Myers, Britney Stoller and Suzanne Schwartz make up that team. They are pictured on page 2. The entire school corporation should be proud of the fact that five of the 20 teams competing at the state level were from the Lakeland Schools. WITH THE warm weather we’ve been having it’s next to impossible to think about football. But many people are. On Saturday at 1 p.m. some Milford area residents will be attending a football game. The Fighting Irish will hold the 55th annual Blue-Gold football game in the Notre Dame Stadium. Sponsored by the Notre Dame Club of Saint Joseph Valley, this year’s game will dramatically climax a month of spring drills for Head Coach Gerry Faust’s maturing gridiron squad. Proceeds from the game benefit the academic scholarship fund of the NDCSJV which pro-

Also on hand will be the Saint Joseph High School marching band. The band will perform before the game and at half-time.

The event will take place at the junior high school and invitations have been mailed. All MHS graduates should have received said invitations by now. If anyone did not receive an invitation he should contact The M-J office either by telephone: 658-4111 or by mail: P. O. Box 188. The alumni address list is kept at the office and the only way it can be kept current is by graduates letting us know when they have a change of address. MILFORD CLERK-Treasurer Monica Bice has asked us to remind everyone planning a garage sale in the town of Milford that it is necessary to purchase a permit before holding a sale.

OBSERVATION: THE weather was perfect for a weekend in Southern Indiana. Bud and I attended the Lions State Convention at the French Lick Springs golf and tennis resort last Friday and Saturday. And, believe it or not, neither of us had time for golf or tennis. It was a busy weekend, as working conventions are. Most of our readers know the state Lions newspaper is printed in Milford and Bud and 1 were representing the paper as well as the Milford

Lions and District 25-G at the convention. French Lick is a town with a twin town. We’ve often heard of twin cities but twin towns? French Lick’s “twin” is West Baden. Together, the towns have a population of 4,000 people. The area was one of the earliest outposts in the middle-western wilderness. It was first settled more than 200 years ago by French traders. With the discovery of rich mineral springs in the Cumberland Hills and Valley, which attracted animals, who flocked to lap the waters and wet the area became known among the settlers as “The Licks"

The French had ideas about exploiting these lush salt deposits, but were harrassed by Indians following the Louisians Purchase Treaty in 1803. Napoleon relinquished claims on that part of the frontier and the French abandoned their trading posts. The British moved in about 1812. In 1832, all the lands surrounding the actual mineral springs were offered for sale. About 1,500 acres, including the big springs, were purchased by a Dr. William A. Bowles. Within five years he opened the first hotel, “French Lick Springs.” It was an immediate success. People flocked from hundreds of miles to partake of the mineral

waters. “Doc”Bowles had struck it rich. The old hotel has been remodeled countless times and additions have been added but it stands today and is both a resort and convention hotel where people are greeted by doormen, fresh flowers, highly polished brass and the delicious meals. Even those of us who did not have time for golf or tennis could enjoy the extra pampering and the beauty of the old building. One outstanding point that no

one entering the hotel parking lot can miss is the big brown sign in the middle of the road. It looks like an over-sized basketball and reads “Larry Bird Blvd.” It’s a tribute to French Lick’s favorite son. By the way, Bird is a member of the French Lick-West Baden Lions club and sent a letter to the convention telling those in attendance he was sorry he was busy and could not attend. What’s he busy doing? Participating the the NBA playoffs, what else would keep a favorite son away from his hometown? — JRS
