THE LAKELAND Loving Care Center reports only one December birthday. Anna Jasperson will celebrate the day of her birth on December 25. STATE REPRESENTATIVE Gregory Mishler (R-Syracuse) a former resident of Milford, says he remains strongly opposed to the implementation of local measured telephone service in Indiana. Indiana Bell’s proposal would require customers to pay for local phone service based on the time of day a call is made, the distance of the call, and the length of that call. Customers currently pay a flat fee for unlimited local phone use. It is widely believed that if Bell is given approval for this plan, the state’s other telephone companies would quickly implement the billing system in their areas. Mishler says the public is against the local measured service plan. "I do not believe my constituents and the consumers
of Indiana are sold on it,” he said. "Although Bell’s promise that most telephone users would save money under the proposal is appealing, more Information and better documentation is needed.” People who rely heavily on their telephones will be adversely affected by Indiana Bell’s proposal, Mishler said. The elderly and low-income will not necessarily be helped by a telephone pricing system based on useage, he continued. “Many of the older citizens, the handicapped, the unemployed looking for work, and others who are unable to leave home easily depend on the telephone as a vital contact with the outside world,” said the former Milford resident. “I do not want to see these people and others on fixed incomes paying huge rates that might hurt them financially.” Another concern Mishler noted is the effect on small businesses and companies with heavy phone useage.
“Many small business people, such as realtors, insurance agents, salesmen, and personnel agencies use the telephone as an initial contact with customers and clients,” he said. “It is difficult enough to establish and maintain a business without placing additional burdens upon it. “I will not support the local measured telephone service concept as long as it has the potential to hurt the people of Indiana,” he said. Mishler, the son of Wade Mishler, has announced his plans to run for the state senate seat currently held by John B. Augsburger. Augsburger, also a
Taking on winter — with pleasure
I KATHY RICHTER CONE I Guest Feature Writer Saturday, I was in a “Coming of the Dark Season" mood. The day was gloomy, last week’s travel section from the newspaper was dog-earred from daily perusal of Thompson’s fun-in-the-sun getaways, and even my husband’s suggestion for a night out could not jolt me from the blahs. But a phone call did. A friend called to invite me to a play, reminding me of my New Year’s resolution to monthly attend a live performance in the arts. (Doesn’t it always take a friend to remind you of your resolutions?) Trimming first tree on a shoestring For the young married couple just about to decorate their first tree, or for anyone just starting out in his or her own apartment, having a beautifully trimmed tree needn’t be an extravagance. One idea for affordable decorations is to get several rolls of gift ribbon in holiday plaids or red, green and white stripes, and fashion them into bows at the tip of each branch. With a few strands of white lights, an abundance of brightly colored bows and a homemade angel or star at the top, your first tree will be very special. And if you’d like to add a few old-fashioned munchable goodies to your tree, you might want to hang some candy canes on it, String some popcorn, or even bake gingerbread men that can be suspended from the branches. Protect trees Wrap newly planted trees from the bottom limb to the ground to protect the tender bark from sun and winter wind.

RETA y MILLER
CELEBRATING HER 89th birthday this Friday, Dec. 4, will be former Milford resident Reta Miller.
That night, North Manchester College was presenting “The Dybbuk,” a play by S. Ansky, performed by The National Theatre of the Deaf. Well, I have taken a course in sign language and loved the movie, “Children of a Lesser God,” but the thought of having to perhaps work at entertainment still did not have me running to find a babysitter. I hereby state my hesitancy was stupid. A quote from the New York Times printed on the program cover says it all: ‘ ‘The Dybbuk — one of the great theatre works of the century . ” Yes, I did get off the couch, call a babysitter and go to the theatre. The performance, which was both spoken and signed, was more than theatre — it was not unlike ballet. The story transported me from a bleak November Indiana to a mystical 19th century eastern European village where its people, as people throughout all ages, struggled with questions about their relationshio with the spirit l world. The sights and sounds from that stage reminded me why I had promised myself, last January 1, to make attendance at a live performance a habit. Goodbye, travel section — hello, Civic Theatre, Wagon Wheel, En-

Ancient legend of the Italians In Italy, it is not Santa Claus who brings the gifts to good children, but rather it is Leßefana. According to an ancient legend, the Italians tell of the wise men stopping to ask an old woman directions as to where to find the Baby Jesus. Leßefana was so full of awe as she saw their magnificence she was unable to speak. The wise men invited her to go with them to worship the newborn King, but she could only shake her head no. It was not until the wise men had gone that she suddenly found her tongue and hurried out to catch them. However, she was never able to catch up with them. As she continued her search for the Christ Child, she would leave a little gift at each place as she stopped along her way. Words on play All men are not homeless, but some are home less than others.
