Sleet is next and is much heavier than snow. Rain is the heaviest of the three. Some people do not realize that a foot or two of snow is not an unusually heavy fall. Snow is so light that a fraction of an inch of rain is often the equivalent to more than a foot of snow! Sleet is the most dangerous of the three types of precipitation, causing slippery highways, foliage damage and adding excessive weight to wires, etc. OOPS, WAS Jennie Heckaman’s face ever red last Monday noon. As a matter of fact, Jennie was speechless. That’s something that never hapj>ens. Never? Well, it did happen. It seems several administrators from the Wawasee Community School Corporation were dining with Milford’s new principal, Dr. Winston Becker. They were seated at the table when Jennie quite unexpectedly initiated the doctor. She dumped not one, not tow, but three glasses of ice water, on Milford’s newcomer. She was speechless. Stunned. Red faced. He will forevermore have a story to tell about his first day on the job in Milford, Ind. DON'T FORGET the Kiwanis Club’s pancake and sausage breakfast on Saturday morning.
