RYAN STICHTER sets the clock to midnight to get a head start on the new year. Realizing he’ll probably be in bed when the new year arrives, the son of Kirk and Dawn Stichter, Milford, decided to celebrate early Tuesday. 1987 will mark the year Ryan turns two. —o— FOR ALL those persons wondering what has happened to the Betty Zimmerman home, located near the entrance of the Zimmerman Gravel Company (east of Milford), it was "intentionally” demolished on November 14 to make way for the construction of a new home. The razing of the house took less than three hours. Mrs. Zimmerman is currently residing at Waubee Lake and states she plans to remain in Milford for the winter to keep check on all the details involved with her new home. Lumber is being delivered next week and the completion date, which was originally set for March, will probably be extended into late spring. I'he old home of Harvey and Kuby Zimmerman (parents oi Mrs. Zimmerman's late husband. Elmer "Red" Zimmerman) was

because of. our government Another Rogers quote was. "No elected candidate was ever as bad or as good as we expected him to be. The trouble with too many candidates is that after they're elected they lose touch with what it was that put them in there.'’ The judge said someone in the State Legislature wants judges to be elected with competition but not be affiliated with a political party. He stated. "I can just imagine how independent the judges would be if they had to go out and find private sources to raise over $200,000 to win an election.'' Garrard characterized many lawyers as being like attorney Mike Valentine, who. Garrard claimed, wears suspenders and a belt at the same time. In a serious vein. Garrard said being an office holder is hard work which is always done in public view and some of the public are always ready to criticize. He closed his talk with. "I congratulate you all. and wish you well and God speed. Elected officials sworn in, in addition to 16 township trustees and 45 members of the county ad-

Deeter family, as footprints of the Deeter children were found in some cement while the structure was being taken down. —o— THESE FOLLOWING excerpts were taken from a paper written by a 12-year-old Milford lad as a school assignment 55 years ago. One April morning in the year 1919. there came into this world another boy. The nurses seemed to marvel at the angle at which this baby’s ears protruded from his head. The rest of the facial appearance did not seem to be extremely attractive but in spite of this, the poor baby grew. The first years of this boy's life were spent on a farm where the main amusement was riding a tricycle from the house to the barn. This boy was also taken along to Sunday School and Church where he would listen to the long sermons while sitting on his mother s lap. Then came the day when this boy must leave his sandpile to enter school. I’his was not a welcome change for him for he was not used to having playmates

He said in other counties the one office carry-over may be the treasurer, clerk, auditor or another office. Art Nature is the art of God. — Dante Alighieri

of his own size, but this dislike was later partly removed. The school days dragged on and this boy was found making little mechanical toys. After a few years he attracted some attention with his "inventions." When this boy reached the sixth grade, his teacher asked him to construct something for the school exhibit. He did this by making a musical instrument from a cigar box and a few pieces of wood. His work was complimented on by many parents and teachers. In high school he continued "making things." In shop class he found away to make knives from saw blades; also discovered away to connect springs on the front wheel of a bicycle to improve the ride. This fellow also found a desire for music. He is often found picking a guitar or tooting a big bass horn. At one time he organized an orchestra. This paper was entitled "The Person People Call Neal Cory." written in September of 1931. —O'MR.
