THIS WEEK’S photo was taken at Indianapolis on Sunday is shows Marta Akestam, wife of Sten A. Akestam, President of Lions International, as she sings the national anthem of her native Sweden. The man on right is Past International Director Gene Rice of Wanatah. Rice serves as International Song Leader and sang the Swedish anthem in English prior to yielding the microphone to Mrs. Akestam. Rice has been a guest of the Milford Lions and has many friends here. See article on Sunday’s meeting and photo of President Akestam elsewhere in this issue. —OPSPEAKING OF the Lions, don’t forget the Milford, North Webster and Syracuse Lions are joining to sponsor a chili supper Friday night at Wawasee High School. Serving time will be from 5 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria. The supper will be held just prior to the Wawasee Warrior — North Wood Panther foodball game. (That game, by the way, promises to be a good one with the Warriors now ranked second in the state and the Panthers ranked sixth). Profits from the chili supper will go toward the “Skills for adolescence” program being sponsored by the three Lions clubs in the three corporation junior high schools. —o— AND, SPEAKING of eating out, don’t forget to get your tickets for the annual Milford Firemen s chicken barbecue to be held on Sunday, Oct. 5, beginning at 11:30a.m. —o— SEPTEMBER 11 was a memorable time for Aurea Roa Anglin as she became a citizen of the USA. Judge Miller and his staff made the ceremony very meaningful,according to a note received from Dorothy Williams. There were 47 adults and eight children sponsored by family. Europe, Asia, Mexico and Africa were represented. Aurea is a Wawasee High School graduate and is a Goshen college student who is doing her student teaching at the Milford Elementary School. Her hus-

band, Bill, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Anglin, were at the South Bend ceremony. This has been one of Aura’s dreams . . a dream that has now been achieved. —o— THE SESQUICENTENNIAL memory photo in last week's paper brought back a flood of memories of what we fondly refer to as “the lean years,” when the entire staff of The Milford Mail, our flagship publication, was composed of the three in the photo. The room, oddly, is the same room that makes up our composing room today, but its old light cords hanging from the ceiling and the pot-belly stove have been replaced. The time of the photo was the summer of 1941, (Edith Baumgartner, who is also pictured, pinpointed it as being July 9, 1941) and it was taken by the late F. Reinbold, a professional photographer from Syracuse. I had purchased the old 22x65 room, with its upstairs apartment, from William S. Felkner of Warsaw for the princely sum of SSOO, in October of 1940. Brother Ted'had just sold his downtown restaurant in Milford and persuaded me to let him put down a new floor of oak “shorts’’ over the old wide-board floor that gaped between the six-inch boards. Sanded and waxed down, the new floor was something to behold. We were proud of it. We well remember when Mr. Reinbold came into the office, set up his tripod and saying something like, "1 want a picture of this place.” How the old photo survived is something of a mystery to most of us. It was May 7, 1942 — the following spring — that I was drafted into the U. S. Army, a fact that helps me pin down the date of the old photo. The Depression still hovered over us and our advertising and subscription rates were low. and these twin sources of revenue were in very short supply. Ira Chupp, now a Texas resident, was certainly underage by today’s labor standards, but he proved fully trustworthy and expert at feeding single sheets into our two-page drum press, which was standard equipment for small weekly newspapers of that era.

At that time Kosciusko County had five weekly newspapers — The Milford Mail, Syracuse Wawasee-Journal, The Pierceton Record, The Silver Lake Record, and the Mentone Co-Op News. It also had two daily newspapers — The Warsaw Daily Times and The Warsaw Daily Union. All this has changed now, and The Milford Mail and SyracuseWawasee Journal were combined in 1962 to become The MailJournal, ideally suited to the newly formed school corporation. The Pierceton Record was suspended in 1948, revived by us in February of 1950 as The Pierceton Press, which was suspended in June of 1971 when our firm began publication of ‘the PAPER’ as a county-wide free circulation newspaper, which is today a most successful means of advertising for county merchants. The Mentone Co-Op News joined hands with The Akron News (in Fulton County) when those two communities became part of the Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation, and it is published in Plymouth each week as The Akron/Mentone News. In 1948 the t\vo daily papers published in Warsaw combined to become the Warsaw TimesUnion, to later become, simply, the Times-Union. The dailies came to several county towns each afternoon by the north-south interrurban, and usually arrived in other county towns a day late. My, how things have changed! The advent of offset printing, in our case in February 1968, saw a new era dawn, and speedy electronic typesetting replaced the laborious linotype machines to further speed up production. (In the photo, Edith is standing by the linotype that she “pounded” for 30 years snd at which she became quite expert.) Small publications of many and varied types, so many of them new (non-existent only a few years ago), have sprung up, but publishers on the whole have opted not to purchase costly offset printing presses and accompanying facilities such as dark room, plate room and mailing room. Instead, they have gone with the less expensive typesetting and make-up equipment and have taken their camera-ready pages to a central printing plant such as ours at Milford, where in a brief time the high-speed presses can crank out their entire press run, folded, to be bundled, and loaded in waiting trucks. Anyone who has watched the growth of our plant from the tiny room shown in last week's photo to the 30,900-square foot plant we operate today on South Main Street in Milford, with our offices in Warsaw. Elkhart, Goshen and Syracuse, is abundantly aware of the revolution that has taken place in the graphic arts industry in this relatively short period of time. — AEB —o— V' OBSERVATION: DON’T ever let anyone tell you that the gals at JW’s dod’t go out of their way to keep their customers happy. Last Thursday as Bud and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniversary we found our table had been set complete so we could enjoy a “candlelight” dinner. ■ . > Kim even managed to give Bud a pink rose so he could present me with a flower on our special dav — that’s service. Thanks gals.-JRS Cracks need to be sealed Air openings (cracks) found where dissimilar materials are joined should be sealed by caulking before the weather reaches 40 degrees.
