MRS. HERBERT Morehouse recently dropped this photo off at The MJ. She has no information on same and this humble scribe can not help except to note the obvious. It was taken on one of the Milford Days and for some unknown reason the crowd was gathered on the west side of Main Street. FLASH: 95 percent of all kids aged 18 have tried drugs at least once — 75 percent of these have gone on to use drugs socially and 20 percent go on to become totally addicted. FLASH: The latest way to get drugs into the elementary school is on stickers I One drop the size of a pinhead can cause the child who licks it to go on an eight-hour trip! FLASH: One out of four children will be sexually molested or abused by the time he/she is 18 and nine out of 10 times it's someone familiar to the child! Have you taught your children how to protect themselves against sexual abuse? Drug and alcohol abuse? Can your children “just say no?” How do parents and educators teach them? Do your young children know their telephone number? Have you taught them what to do if they're lost? What should they do if someone grabs them? Offers them money in exchange for “touching?” Do they know and use the buddy system? If you had to answer “no” to any of these questions, then you need help. Brite might be the answer. Through the many songs, dialogues and activity books children can learn how to keep safe. The Play It Smart safety program has been endorsed by the US Congress and the President of the United States. Brite Music Enterprises, Inc., is a company that is totally con-

Donnelley holds annual talks

Continuing a 57-year-old tradition, employees of R.R. Donnelley and Sons Company participated today in the company’s Annual Talks, a series of local meetings with corporate management. John Walter, executive vice president of operations, reviewed the company’s 1986 performance i $2,233,311,000. net sales, up 9.6 percent; $158,268,000 net income, up 6.6 percent). He said that during the past two years, the com-

cerned about the welfare of this nation’s children. Besides the safety programs, Brite offers parents, teachers and other childguidance personnel tools to teach children self-esteem, discipline, love, courage and other character traits they require to be successful adults. The songs, 'music and books have proven very effective as teaching tools to convey these concepts. Parents and educators in Canada, the USA, Australia and Europe are discovering this Brite idea. Children love the music and adults can relax, knowing the children are singing, clapping and laughing to constructive messages. Brite music markets its products through dedicated, committed distributors. Mrs. Dale (Peg) Custer of Milford is now an.~ independent distributor. Mrs] Custer holds a master’s degree in elementary education; has taught second grade in Akron; taught the severely/profoundly handicapped in Warsaw; has substituted in New Paris and Milford and currently volunteers teaching music at the Milford Christian School. According to her, this is the best program for reaching and teaching children she has ever used. Mrs. Custer is currently scheduling in-home workshops in Milford, Nappanee, Leesburg and Warsaw. She is sponsored by Connie Gamauf of Goshen and serves the Lakeland area along with Lori Knisely. / -°- HAVE YOU noticed the new trash containers on Main Street? If not, look the next time you are in downtown Milford. They are a marked improvement. UNITED TELEPHONE customers in Milford have new calling features available as of last Saturday. They are the result of the new computerized digital switching equipment which should handle calls in a faster

pany has invested more than S4OO million in modernization and growth. “If there is one single theme to the Annual Talks this year," Walter said, “I think it is this: This company did not get where it is today, the leading printing company in the world, by digging in, standing pat and refusing to react. We got where we are today by anticipating the need to change, not resisting it, by taking early and prompt action

and more efficient J The switch is a step in allowing equal access — the choice in longdistance service, which customers will soon have. Milford residents may now have call forwarding, speed calling, call waiting, warmline and three-way conference calling. Cail forwarding allows a person to forward his or her calls to another number when he or she is not at home. Speed calling allows for telephones to be programmed to call three or 30 numbers by using one or two digits. Warmline is a feature where the telephone is programmed so that when the receiver is picked up it will automatically dial a specified number if the person picking up the telephone doesn’t dial another number within five seconds. • k Three-way conference calling the caller to talk with two dinerent parties at the same timeX. Call waiting enables people to receive incoming calls while they are on the line with someone else, and switch back and forth between the two calls.

The /sectional tournament is next week and we usually have snow to contend with during the sectional. Temperatures, however, are starting to rise during the daytime hours. Monday the bank thermometer reported 52 degrees at a little after 5 p.m. Area stores are beginning to put up displays of garden seeds. The thoughts of many are turning to the outdoors. It must be remembered, even if the groundhog saw his shadow on February 2, that was a little over four weeks ago ... his six weeks are almost up!

whenever it appeared that change was required and new directions were needed. ’ ’ He discussed the challenges ahead, adding, “At thg same time that we concentrate on the future, we know that our biggest and most important job is doing well what we do today-turning out top quality products, constantly improving our productivity, controlling our costs, never forgetting that customer service is the business that we are in.” Carl Doty, catalog group president, said the company’s goal “is to be the pre-eminent supplier of printing and print related services in the world. We want to achieve a high degree of customer satisfaction by providing superior products and services with consistent quality at a competitive cost." He said Donnelley will continue its capital spending to either expand or modernize existing facilities. “Next, we are going to continue our efforts to improve our technology and dedicate money to that end. We must continue to be leaders in our industry in introducing new technology." he added.
