EARLY FIREWORKS — A barn on the morning of the Fourth of July was controlled by the quick actions of the Russ Mikel faintly and extinguished by the Milford Fire Department. Sparks from a trash fire set earlier in the morning near the barn apparently ignited the northwest corner of the roof. Milford seventh-grader Lisa and her mother, Patti, returning to the barn to practice leading Lisa’s 4-H calf for the upcoming county fair, discovered the fire. Russ Mikel sprayed water on the roof with a garden hose until the fire department arrived shortly after 9 a.m. Damage to the barn roof was estimated at S4OO. The Mikels live on CR 375 East.

— In loving memory of Floyd M. Rensberger, who passed away 16 years ago, July 10, 1969. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there. I do not sleep I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry I am not there. I did not die. Sadly missed by all of his family. CARD OF THANKS I would like to thank all friends in this area who have been so kind to me during my illness and stay at two hospitals. Your cards, calls, flowers and visits have been very uplifting. I would also like to thank the Syracuse EMS and the staff of the Goshen Hospital — especially those on 2 Dr. Richard Hirschler —/for excellent care. I Mve improved somewhat in the past eight weeks and am npw continuing with good medical care in my daughter’s community.
