X* ! ' 5 Harvest time in Van Buren Township

! With the temperatures in the high 70s andßos the past few weeks many Van Buren Township farmers have an advantage'over their counterparts of yesterday as they can crawl into an air conditioned piece of machinery and receive at ! least a little relief from the heat and humidity. This week’s Sesquicentennial Memoties photo was loaned to us by Mildred (Hartter) Randall. She believes it is the old thrashing machine once operated

Thrashing of this kind was done throughout the area by many farmers in the early days of this community. Harvesting for many years was a joint effort with farmer helping farmer as the thrashing machine moved from field to field.

808 HEATON, retired Milford area resident, enjoyed the response this sign on his truck received when he ran an auto body and engine shop in North Vernon. Heaton, who lives east of New Salem Church south of Milford, is enjoying his retirement. His main hobby now is playing euchre at the Milford Community Building each morning. Not wanting to boast and say he usually wins, he only said that when he goes home in a good mood he has had a winning morning. Heaton opened his auto body and engine repair shop in North Vernon in 1928. In 1938 he earned a certificate of merit from Chevrolet Motor Sales Corp, for completing a course in Indianapolis on performing service on Chevrolet cars and trucks. He retired in 1967 and he and his wife moved to Milford in 1980, where they share a house with their daughter and son-in-law, Fran and Tom Spencer. To help keep occupied in retirement, Heaton used to build barn siding picture frames and sell them in the Nashville, Columbus and Madison area. He commented that people in North Vernon seemed to enjoy the catchy sign on the side of his truck which included pictures of a body file, dolly block, power sander and body hammer. —o— EARLEEN (FISHER) Tatro, daughter of Noble and Donna Fisher of r 2 Milford, left New York on Saturday for Tokyo.

AN ARTICLE elsewhere in this issue notes the Milford Kiwanis Club will be canvassing the area next week with popcorn. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. DON’T FORGET the Milford Firemen’s annual chicken barbecue is set for Sunday. The event is held annually, the first Sunday in October, and is carry out only. Serving time begins at 11:30 a.m. with the chicken to be picked up at the fire station on Milford’s Main Street. ALTHOUGH MILFORD people sometimes move, they seem to seldom move from Milford. This fact came to light this week as area residents seem to be playing a game of musical houses. Word has it that John and Nancy Replogle, who moved from Milford to Syracuse a few years ago, have made an offer to purchase the Ike and Jean Treesh house on West Emeline Street and the Treeshes will be moving into the Gladys Brown house on Henry Street. Sam and Marsha Baumgartner have sold their home on Catherine Street and are buying the Don Hoover property on South Main Street. The Hoovers are moving into the old Hoover family farm home south of Waubee Lake. Their son, Tony Hoover, has moved his family into the Mrs. Bertha (Wehrly* Gilbert home south of town. The Tim Campbell home has also been sold and the Campbells have moved to their new home at Camelot Lake. GC enrolls freshmen Goshen College halted a downward enrollment trend and registered 83 more freshmen this fall than in 1985, registrar John Nyce has announced. Overall, the student body increased from 863 full-time students to 952 full-time students this year — an increase of 10.3 percent. Just four years ago, Goshen's enrollment was well over 1,000 full-time students. Decreasing numbers of 18 year olds and other demographic factors contributed to downward trends. In 1985, Goshen registered its smallest freshman class in 25 \years — 169 out of a student body This year's 252 freshmen came from 25 states, three Canadian provinces and four foreign countries. Os this number, 97 of those are from Indiana. Elkhart County residents made up 62 of the 97 Indiana freshmen — up from just 37 last year. Admissions . director Rich Gerig said the enrollment increase this year can be explained in part by the efforts of the administration. faculty, parents, alumni, and even students on behalf of the college. On the other hand, he pointed out, “There’s a part of this we can’t explain because of the way people go about choosing a college. Each decision is based on a separate, very personal set of circumstances.’’ In an age when private colleges across the nation have a smaller pool of eligible applicants, the enrollment increase was greeted with enthusiasm by faculty and students. “Central to the recruitment efforts last year was the admissions office. Counselors and staff improved enrollment management by keeping in closer contact with applicants, ’’ Gerig said. The work was enhanced by a series of national articles praising Goshen College programs. In November of 1985, a survey of college presidents in “US News & World Report” called Goshen one of the top 10 colleges of its kind in the midwest, one of the top 33 in the United States.
