their fall harvesting. It is inserted into the rural areas in The MJ’s sister papers, the PAPER’ in both Kosciusko and Elkhart counties.
After publication of last spring’s edition, we entered it in state competition and the special section walked away with first place honors. A plaque was presented during Farm Day activities at the Indiana State Fair
last Wednesday. Second place went to The Daily Reporter of Greenfield and third place went to the Warsaw Times Union. In accepting the plaque, Editor Jen Seely noted credit for the Farm section of ‘the PAPER’ does not go to one individual person but is a staff effort. Shown from left are Indiana State Fair Queen Penny Padgett, Mrs. Seely and Indiana’s Lt. Governor John Mutz. Mutz presided over the opening ceremonies and later took part in the Farm Day Parade. In a matter of minutes after the opening ceremonies were over the Seelys (Jeri and her husband, Bud) were greeted by Milford's Mike Zimmerman. Zimmerman is an official of the Farm Bureau (co-sponsors with the state fair in sponsoring the Farmer’s Day events) and was getting ready to time the bands that would be performing in the parade. A few minutes after Mike left to take up his post with the others who were working with the

parade, former Milford resident Marion Stackhouse stopped to offer his congratulations. Stackhouse is president of the Farm Bureau. MRS. LUCY Hollar of Oakwood Park entertained former school mates at her home Thursday, Aug. 20. Those in attendance were Mrs. Iva Burkholder, Mrs. Edna Miller, Mrs. Elma Miller, Mrs. Gladys Dinkeldein, Mrs. Mary Lambright, Mrs. Freda Hollar, Mrs. Joy Mishler and Elizabeth Mishler. All persons are from the Nappanee and Milford area. They enjoyed reminiscing and watching the skiers on Lake Wawasee. RICH RHODES, darkroom man at The MJ, is a dedicated jogger, and has been running the same number of miles as his age, on each birthday. He turned 25 (he calls it “hitting the quarter century mark”) last Thursday. He was up early, ran 18 miles before work, four over the noon hour, then the final three after work. Someone asked him, “What did you do then?” "Went to bed,” was his reply, and one could see the reason why.
—o— THE FOLLOWING residents of the Lakeland Loving Care Center will be celebrating birthdays during the month of September: Severa (“Dolly”) Ritter, Sept. 6; Devon ("Slim”) Miller, Sept. 8; and Velma McDowell, Sept. 23. IN THE near future, Little & Clark Insurance will be renamed the Milford Insurance Center. This change is being made to eliminate identity problems of Little and Clark, Inc., and Little and Clark Insurance which are two separate businesses. Little and Clark, Inc., will continue to be identified with the accounting and tax service while Milford Insurance Center will provide for the existing and expanding insurance services of the future. The insurance firm, a division of Hall and Marose Agency, is also pleased to announce that Brian Tucker has joined its insurance family and will be working out of both the Milford and Warsaw offices. MIKE AND Carolyn Zimmerman and three daughters, Kara, Krista and Karina were among those who attended the opening ceremonies of the Pan Am Games in Indianapolis. The opening was held at the Indianapolis Speedway. They were participants in the card section made up of volunteers for the Walt Disney production. The Zimmermans report the show was fantastic and was complete with thousands of helium balloons, hot air balloons, acrobatic airplanes, jets, parachutes and over 6,500 atheletes from 38 countries. Later Mike and Carolyn attend-

ed a track and field session at the Pan Am Games and saw Randy Heisler of Warsaw receive a bronze metal in the discus throw. MAILROOM EMPLOYEES of The Papers Incorporated held a picnic on Sunday at the Waubee Lake park. A total of 34 employees and former employees and family members were in attendance. They honored Dale Stoffel with a surprise baby shower complete with gifts. AN EYESORE in Milford has been torn down and the land is now for sale. Ross Timmon’s original garage on the Milford-Syracuse Road was turned into a home some years ago and was occupied by the Willis Hamilton family. There was a fire. The property was no longer suited for people to live in. The Hamiltons moved to Warsaw. During the past several days what was left of the house was leveled and a for sale sign is now in place. Potpourri:
A fragrant memory
The fragrance of summer blooms can be kept year-round through the age-old craft of potpourri (pronounced poe-pou-ree). According to B. Rosie Lerner, Purdue University Extension Horticulturist, potpourri is any combination of flowers and herbs that imparts a pleasant scent. The name potpourri is of French origin and literally translates to “rotten pot.” Potpourri was originally used to soften the harsh smells of moldy, damp rooms and the like. Today, potpourri is widely used to scent closets, drawers, pillows, or the bath. “Most potpourri uses dried flower petals and buds as the base. Fragrances from oils, spices, fruits, or herbs may also be added,” says Lerner. “A fixative, such as orris root, storax, benzoin or patchouli, is needed to blend the different aromas and to help them last longer.” The garden can probably supply most of the needed materials. Roses, carnations, lavender, and chamomile are just a few of the floral favorites for potpourri. Homer Shoop keeps winning Two first place titles and a tie for third place are the latest achievements in the world of bridge by North Webster resident Homer Shoop. At the 1987 Summer North American Bridge Championships (NABC), Baltimore in July, Shoop’s teams placed first in the Babe Ruth Senior Swiss Teams event and the Northern VA Unit 218 Senior Pairs. He also tied for third place in the Governor W.D. Schaefer Senior KO Teams. Founder of the International Palace of Sports in North Webster and former banker and tennis tournament player, Shoop still actively participates in regional, national and international bridge tournaments. The 1987 Summer NABC, sponsored by the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL), set up over 17,000 tables of bridge in ten days of play. Over 8,000 contract bridge players from around the world, novice to expert, matched skills and strategies in a variety of bridge events. The ACBL, headquartered in Memphis, Tenn., is the governing body for nearly 200,000 tournament bridge players in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Bermuda, Wisdom Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill knowing how to do it, virtue is not doing it. , — Tribune, Chicago
LITTLE BECKY Hoerr, along with her parents, Jeff and Rocio Hoerr, Canton, Ohio, were in Milford over the weekend visiting in the home of her grandparents.

As for the Beers, their total number of grandchildren is 34; and great-grandchildren, 38, “with more being expected,” states Grandma Beer. —o— CHRISTIE SLABAUGH, a member of the Milford Happy Bachelors 4-H club, took honors with her Holstein dairy calf this year during the 4-H Dairy Show at the Kosciusko County Fair. She won a blue ribbon in her class with her intermediate senior yearling and was also named a 4-H Dairy Junior Showmanship winner. Christie is the daughter of Allen and Ellen Slabaugh, r 1, Milford, and is a freshman at Wawasee High School this fall.
Lerner notes that foliage from plants such as mint, scented geraniums, lavender, and many other herbs can be blended along with the flowers. All America Rose Selections offers the following recipe for custom potpourri that can’t miss. Mix one quart (four ounces) of dried rose petals with one ounce of chopped fixative, not powdered. It will take at least two quarts of fresh rose petals to get one quart of petal mixture. If an oil fragrance is desired, add three drops of essential oil per quart and mix with hands or a wooden spoon. Leave the mixture in a cool, dark place until all of the scents have had a chance to merge into one. Then place in a bowl, sachet, envelope or other suitable container. “If the fragrance fades after a while, the potpourri can be renewed by adding a few more drops of essential oil,” says Lerner. 3 accidents investigated by Milford police Three accidents were reported to Milford Police between Friday, Aug. 21, and Tuesday, Aug. 25.
