MJ PHOTOGRAPHER Glen Long snapped this photo of Randy Veach, holding ladder, and Dan Van Lue, Milford Street Department employees, putting up Christmas decorations last week in downtown Milford. The men picked a cool day, as shown on the bank thermometer, to finish hanging the decorations. All this was in time for the annual merchants’ promotion. Drawing will be held for many prizes with people only having to visit the Milford merchants and sign up. The Chateau, Milford’s new restaurant, will give first, second and third prize awards; Evans Family Store, now a V&S Variety Store featuring values with sincerity, will give a $25 gift certificate; Jenkins Automotive will also give a $25 gift certificate; Bobi’s Shear Success will give a free haircut and style; Bonnie Jean's Boutique will give a $25 gift certificate; Doll’s Decorating will give a “Becky” Doll; L & W Classic Video will give four free movie rentals. SPEAKING OF decorations, have you notice those which have been put up in the various business houses in downtown Milford? They really give the town a festive look. FROSTY COME home! Did Frosty run away from home? We think not! Did someone kidnap Frosty? We think so! One day last week a snowman was placed next to the sign on the treelawn of The Papers Incorporated offices to greet the motorists traveling up and down Main Street. He was only there one day before he disappeared. Since he wasn’t made of snow, he didn’t melt! He was happy with the job he was doing and besides, who ever heard of a snowman running away from home? No, someone had to have taken him. Company officials hope that whomever took him will bring him back before Christmas . . . after all, he was placed in front of the building to do a job and he will be a very unhappy snowman if he doesn ’ t get to do that job! THE AREA has received a lot of rain lately and yesterday morning the Wawasee schools were delayed for two hours because of fog. This morning (Wednesday) it’s cold but the rain has at least stopped for awhile.

STAFF MEMBERS from The Papers Incorporated were in Indianapolis on Saturday to attend the Hoosier State Press Association’s 20th Annual Newsroom Seminar. The seminar was held at the Adams Mark Hotel near the airport. Attending the seminar were Linda Musselman, Dee Jaynes, Judy Steckley and Jeri Seely. Former area residents were among the award winners. Dou£ Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Don H. Arnold of Waubee Lake, and a former MJ staff member, won two awards. Doug and fellow Anderson Daily Bulletin staff member Ken de la Bastide tied with reporters from the Anderson Herald for first place honors in best news story under pressure of deadline. Doug also won third place for best news story with no deadline. And, former MJ Sports Editor Dave Straub won third place honors in sports reporting for his article “Warriors win with defense,” an article about the Warriors’ 7-0 defeat of Plymouth on their road to the state football finals in 1985. KELLY BROOKS Pw * ** < CLAYTON HOLLAR LOCAL BASKETBALL history buffs will be interested to know that Kelly Brooks, the 6’l’’ center on. the Lady Warriors team who

has been .making a name for herself, is following an old family tradition. Kelly got 20 points and 17 rebounds Monday night at the Wawasee gym when her team won over Elkhart Central, 44 to 34. Her grandfather, the late Clayton (“Cy”) Hollar, would have been proud of her, as were her parents, Jim and Margi Brooks and grandmother Fay. Her grandfather’s picture was in The M-J last week when he was on the Milford Trojans second team along with Ralph Godshalk, Harry Schultz, Jim Hammond and Noble (“Pee Wee’’) Miller. Roy Schultz, a Henry Street resident, was on the Milford first string team that year (1923). He recalls the Milford team going undefeated in 1923 and 1924 in scheduled play. In 1925, the Trojans figured among the “Sweet Sixteen,” and played Vincennes in the opener of the old fairgrounds building known as the “Cow Bam.” The Butler Fieldhouse (now the Hinkle Fieldhouse) was not built until the late 19205. In that 1925 memorable opener, Kelly’s grandfather, himself over six foot tall (large for that period), jumped center with a tall Vincennes center, with Birch Bayh, Sr., grandfather to Indiana’s new Secretary of State Evan Bayh, tossing up the ball and refereeing that match that saw Milford lose 41-26. Playing with Hollar on that team were Roy and Harry Schultz, Royal Sechler and Eldon Miller, with the subs being Jim Hammon, Harold Burns and Noble Miller. It should also be noted at this point that Kelly was a member of the Lady Warriors* team that was the Indiana girls’ state runners-up two years ago. With this long-standing interest in local basketball, is it any wonder fans are flocking into movie theaters to see "Hoosiers." the story of small town basketball in Indiana? THE MAIL quite often brings interesting things. Recently we received four copies of the Mainichi Daily News and the Japan Times. The Mainichi Daily News is “dedicated to international understanding” and the Times brings “all the news without fear or favor.” The October issues carry articles describing the 7th World Peace Youth Culture Festival which was held on October 5 at the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium in Nagoya City joined by some 1,000 Soka Gakkai International members from 50 countries as well as by 9,500 Soka Gakkai youths in Aichi, Gifu and Mie prefectures. The festival was organized to make a resounding call for peace, to mark the United Nations International Year of Peace and to commemorate the centennial in 1989 of the establishment of Nagoya City. The November issues carry articles describing reactions in Beijing to the recent opening of the exhibit, entitled “The Threat of Nuclear War and the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy.” This exhibit, which was held from October 21 to 30 at the Chinese Revolution Museum located in front of Tian An Men (the Gate of Heavenly Peace), was materialized based on the agreement made two years ago between General Secretary Hu Yaobang of China and Soka Gakkai International President Daisaku Ikeda. The exhibit was supported by not only United Nations organizations but also various Chinese organization to mark United Nations Day, October 24, and United Nations Disarmament Week. We have yet to figure out why an organization in Japan would be sending newspapers to us. We can tell you the Soka Gakkai is the Japanese organization of lay believers in Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, and Soka Gakkai International is its global counterpart We thought about calling Japan to find out why we were getting the papers but thought the boss would object to the long distance bill!

With the end of the year fast approaching and the Wawasee High School seniors looking forward to 1987 and their coming commencement exercises we’ve chosen a graduation photo for this column this week. We’re sorry, but we have no year on this photo and no names. The back of the photo carries a 1921 and a question mark. If it is the class of 1921, alumni

Make a Christmas lantern

To make a Mexican-Old English Christmas lantern, use a rectangular can (cocoa, cooking oil, etc.) for the base and a round can for the top. Cut windows out (on both sides) of the rectangular cans. Leave tin flaps on top of one window opening pushed up so the glass inset can slide in and out. Bend the other flaps around the glass. Punch holes in the round can to let the smoke and heat escape.

Wildlife enjoys Christmas tree

After the holiday season is over and everyone is taking down the Christmas tree, don’t throw it away. Instead take it outside where it can be seen easily from a' window. Make new decorations for the squirrels and birds. Using cookie cutters, cut bread into fancy shapes then spread with peanut butter that has been

Many cookies, candies and quick breads also travel well, but delicate cakes and pies and yeast breads which dry out quickly do not. As you plan your holiday baking, the first step is to select foods at which you are an expert and to use the best ingredients. Recipes calling for butter improve in flavor over time, as do cakes made with honey. Wrap each cookie and candy individually or put them in plastic bags and surround them with popped corn (real or plastic) to insulate them against shock. Shredded newspaper can also be used, egg white or meringue cookies should be wrapped and added at the last minute because they tend t 3 disintegrate if stored with cookies containing fruit. Fruitcakes are especially easy to send, particularly if you have a tin into which the wrapped cake will fit. Wrap the cake in juice or liquor soaked linen and then in foil. Cushion spaces in the tin and in the shipping carton. Select strong fiberboard containers which are impenetrable to odor and seal them with filament tape. A selection of sizes is available at post office and stationery counters. While it may cost a bit more, shipping your package the fastest way possible will ensure that your food gifts reach family members tasting the way they remember them best. Pornography bill signed President Reagan has signed a bill strengthening provisions of existing child pornography laws. The bill also closes a loophole in existing law to make it a crime to take a child across state lines to produce child pornography for private, rather than commercial, use.
