MEMBERS OF the Milford EMS and the firemen joined forces last Saturday to hold a car wash. Monies raised go toward the purchase of needed equipment. The photos, taken by EMT and M-J employee Richard Rhodes, show both the fun of working on a

project with others and the hard work that goes into that same project. In one photo, Natalie Stump is shown threatening the photographer while other EMTs watch to see what the outcome will be. In the second photo, Milford Fire Chief Max Duncan is shown hard at work on a car.

PHEND AND Brown, Inc., has re-affirmed its commitment to producing and placing quality hot mix asphalt pavements in a “Commitment to Quality” program initiated by the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the national trade association of hot mix asphalt producers and paving contractors. Phend and Brown has formaliz-

ed this commitment by signing a “Commitment to Quality Pledge” that calls upon them to “use only the highest quality approved materials, to process them under the continual supervision of trained and capable personnel and to the highest standards, and to place them in pavements that meet, or exceed, promulgated specifications with the highest degree of workmanship attainable.” Hot mix asphalt is a highquality paving material used throughout the USA and the world in highways, roads and streets, parking lots, air port runways, as well as in recreational courts, playgrounds, etc., and environmental liners, sewage treatment lagoons, etc. Phend and Brown and other firms enrolled in the Commitment to Quality program will be easily identified by distinctive silver and black “Asphalt Seal of Quality” decals appearing on company equipment SEE PAGE 1 article on the Halloween activities slated for Saturday at Campbell’s.

Bowen Center re-accredited

The Otis R. Bowen Center for Human Services, serving Kosciusko, Marshall, Huntington, Wabash and Whitley counties, has earned reaccreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAH). The announcement came at the center’s board of directors/ meeting, October 16, in the Bowen Center’s main office in Warsaw. The Bowen Center, said Executive Director Daniel D. Steiner, was one of the first mental health centers in the state to seek and win initial accreditation in 1980. It has been continuously accredited since that time, but is still just one of four free-standing mental health centers in the state to be so endorsed by the JCAH, a private, not-for-profit organization governed by five nationwide health care organizations. Uniquely rural, the Bowen Center is in the company of the Madison Center at South Bend, the Hamilton Center at Terre Haute, and Lifespring Center at Jeffersonville. The Bowen Center’s population base is 195,309, and to serve its * sprawling area, the center has satellite programs in four county seats: Columbia City, Plymouth, Huntington and Wabash. To maintain and staff outlying facilities is the special obligation of the rural center, said Steiner, and the center has enjoyed acceptance among religious and farm groups who are sometimes thought to be resistive to mental ' health care. Former Indiana Governor Otis R. Bowen, M.D., has taken a personal interest in the center named for him. His initials were the inspiration for the name of the prize-winning “Orby” program of the Center. “Orby” is a friendly, floppy, fuzzy-costumed character who visits school to talk heart-to-heart with youngsters. “We believe in the accreditation process,” said -John White, president of the center’s board of directors. “We have sought it; we welcome the rigorous standards.

I’m not certain of the figures, but I would guess there is something like 250,000 citizens in the Soviet Union. “And none have toilet paper.

The reaccreditation is a huge vote of confidence in the center’s management and staff.” The accreditation report ollowed a site visit of the center June 12-14, by JCAH consultants David Cutler, M.D.; David Dorney, Ph.D.; and Allen Ratcliffe, Ph.D. JCAH is governed by representatives of the

Love stamps popular

Love stamps are among the most popular in the U.S. Postal Service’s inventory. Although the artwork featured on the four Love stamps issued since 1973 has varied, the message conveyed has always been universally appealing. The 1973 stamp, featuring a reproduction of a modern art painting by Robert Indiana, sold 330 million — more than twice the normal demand for a commemorative stamp. Its popularity led to the second Love Stamp, issued in 1982. This version, with flowers forming the letters in “Love”, was based upon original artwork done by Mary Faulconer. An astounding 880 million were printed. In 1984, Bradbury Thompson’s design featured five repititions of “Love” with colorful hearts replacing the “Vs”. In a single year of service, 555 million of the stamps were distributed. Thompson’s stamp began a tradition, when a huge replica of the stamp was lowered from the tower of Washington, D.C.’s Pavillion at the Old Post Office Building during the city’s annual New Year’s celebration. Plans are to have a similar event each December 31. The 1985 — and present — Love Stamp received a similar boost in awareness. Millions of television viewers watched its 240-foot trip from the tower to the sidewalk as the Midnight hour arrived. The stamp, designed by Corita Kent, features bright slashes of color and the word “Love” in stylized script. It received further attention when it was issued on the set

You show me a country short on toilets and with no toilet paper for the public, and I will show you a country that is still a long way from world dominance. “There was toilet paper in my hotel rooms in the Soviet Union but you can’t just sit in your hotel room and cling to your toilet paper like a security blanket. “You have to go outside sometime and even if you take some of the hotel toilet paper with you, comfort is still not guaranteed. The Soviets make toilet paper, paper cups and ice cream cones from the same grade of paper. “Coffee drips through the bottom of the cup in about 13 seconds. Soviet ice cream cones taste like the sports section, and a person could so severely injure himself or herself with extended use of Soviet toilet paper that all the Preparation H on earth won’t help. “The Soviet Union doesn’t work. “I plan to sit around for a couple of weeks squeezing the Charmin. “God bless America.”

of The Love Boat in ceremonies that included the producers and most of the cast of the popular television program. The Postal Service estimates that 550 million of the newest Love Stamps will be printed before a neto stamp is issued in 1986. Why are Love Stamps so popular? Like many U.S. stamps, they reach out and touch feelings within each of us. Their use with letters, greeting cards and wedding and engagement announcements help the senders tell someone else that they are special. If you love these and other stamps and would like to know more about stamp collecting, write to the Council of Philatelic Organizations, Box COPO, State College, PA 16803-8340. They’ll send you a free booklet, Introduction to Stamp Collecting. COPO and the Postal Service are co-sponsors of National Stamp Collecting Month, October 1-31. They invite Americans who collected stamps as a child to rediscover their interest in stamp collecting and to share the hobby with their children. Avoid home accidents Falls, fire, poisoning and suffocation are the four major causes of home accidents and are the end product of a sequence of events which can be predicted and should be prevented, controlled or minimized. To avoid falls in homes arrange furniture to clear pathways between doors, keep floor and stairs clear of toys, shoes, newspapers, use ladders or step stools for . climbing. Keep ice off sidewalks and make sure they are well lighted. Home fires start when people smoke in bed, burn candles, leave active fireplaces unattended, or reach over the stove with long blousy sleeves. Poisonings are generally though of as child killers, yet the age group of 25-44 years old is the biggest toll. To prevent poisoning include proper labeling, organizing medicine chests, educate adults about dangers of mixing drugs and medicines.
