Young folks from the Milford and Fort Wayne Apostolic Christian churches went to the Glenn Price home Sunday afternoon to sing carols to Mrs. Clara Price. They also gave her a gift. At the annual Christmas and recognition dinner of the eight County Sales district for State Farm Insurance Companies on December 13 an award was presented to Glenn R. Morehead of Milford. A new still-life Nativity scene will add to the holiday atmosphere in Milford. It is being sponsored jointly by the Milford Ministerial association and will replace the live scene which has been sponsored by the ministerial association in the past. 30 YEARS AGO, DEC. 15 Christmas music has a charm possessed by no other music in the world, and to those who feel that way about it, the concert given last evening by the Milford High School Chorus and the High School Band was a real treat. The chorus was directed by Mrs. Carolyn Bushong, and the band by Joseph Judkins. Twenty-two members of the

Eta Beta Pi Sorority which is the full membership, were present Monday evening for the Christmas party and dinner which was held at Katie’s Tea Room in Milford. A demonstration on gift wrapping was given by Mrs. Bonnie Rassi at the meeting of the Future Homemakers of America Monday evening in the home economics room. Miss Rassi gave the girls many new ideas. Singing of carols was led by Ruth Stieglitz. Mrs. Arch Baumgartner was surprised when she came to the Mail office yesterday afternoon and faced a cake, while members of the staff gathered around and lustily sang “Happy Birthday.” After she had blown out (with one blow) the 20 or so candles, she was ably assisted in devouring the cake and making way with a large carafe of hot coffee. 50 YEARS AGO, DEC. 19 A red fox was killed on the George Danner farm southeast of here on December 12.

Whooping cough reported

The coming of severe winter weather has once again spurred outbreaks of whooping cough across Indiana. Two cases were recently reported from Kosciusko County while 162 cases had been reported statewide, as of Nov. 23. Last year’s spring whooping cough outbreaks in Indiana resulted in over 200 cases reported to the State Board of Health. Whooping cough is medically known as Pertussis. It is usually a childhood illness characterized by severe coughing spells which cause difficulty in breathing, and vomiting. For adults and older childreii,

it is normally not a serious disease. If an infant gets Pertussis, however, it can be a lifethreatening illness. Unfortunately, little can be done to cure this dangerous disease. Immunization with Pertussis vaccine is the only method of controlling whooping cough. This vaccine is customarily given at two, four, and six-months of age, with booster doses given at 18-months and prior to school entry. The vaccine is not given to those over six-years of age. For more information about Pertussis or the Pertussis vaccine, contact the local health department or Steve Sellers, Indiana Immunization Project Representative, at 523-2327.
