EVERYONE IN Milford seems to be in the business of digging holes ... the photos with this column will testify to that fact. Work on the storm drain improvement project continues. Construction workers have placed over one-half of the storm drain tiles into the ground on Syracuse Street. At the same time work is taking place preparing for a new concrete curb and sidewalk at Main and Syracuse Streets. One of the photos shows the depth at which the storm drains are being installed as one of the many construction workers operates the big backhoe digging the trench. To the right of the photo are the storm drains waiting for installation. The second photo shows the location on James Street where work has begun «&-the new home of Elmer and Phyllis Sorensen. The home is the first to be constructed in Milford for sometime. There really aren’t many vacant lots in the town limits, thus the construction of new houses is almost nil. When the Sorensens make the move from their rural home southeast of town to their new home, look for their son, Tom, and his family to move into the house they vacate. — AS THE May primary date draws closer more and more candidate support is shown through fund-raising efforts and with signs being placed in yards. You might say the signs are a sign of the times! —o— STORY HOURS are once again being held at the library, the Enchanted Forest Pre-School Story Hour is being held on Tuesdays from 10:30 until 11:15 a.m. thru May 10.

Who are the Hispanics?

I By CARMEN PERALES Guest Feature Writer Who are the Hispanics? A question often asked, for we find the Scs all over the United . There are lots of cs in our area, from Fort Wayhe to South Bend. We find them as blue collar workers, as well as white collar workers, though at one time they were only found as farm workers. Fine, but who are they and what do they want? The Hispanics are the new race that derives from the Spaniards, Indians, and slaves. They are not white, they are not black, but brown. They are also a subject of much controversy. Do they belong, are they just a stubborn people, etc., are just some of the questions asked. They are the Mexican American, Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, South and Central Americans, some native bom and some have migrated from other Spanish-speaking countries. They all have different reasons for leaving that country. They are a people bound together by a common bond, their language, which is various dialects of Spanish, their struggle to keep their identity, sense of religion, their attitudes toward family, mother, children, their customs, traditions and practices. They are the people that have resisted the “melting pot.” This philosophy has caused much hardship, but since their identity has been retained, they are able to appreciate the values of their brothers in the United States. The Hispanics are oppressed people, who have borne much

& • MM—l . , I. . A, B FIRST national IBANK | OF WARSAW | LAST WEDNESDAY was a day to remember. For those who were lucky enough to catch a photo of the thermometer at the First National Bank it will be one they can use to impress their out-of-state friends who claim In-

abuse and violence through the years. Through some unity they have been able to improve somewhat their conditions of living and their salaries. Hispanics above all have set out to educate themselves. They have worked very hard to accomplish bilingual and bicultural education for their children through the church. For years, the Hispanics had no voice in civic or religious matters. However, in the past few years, they have had representation in both; there are governors, numerous mayors, council members, members in school boards, state congressmen, senators, judges at state and local levels, bishops, priests, and nuns. Hispanics are a people who continue to struggle in a peaceful and Christian manner to be who they are. They are a people full of hope and through self development, wishing to accomplish a mature sense of responsibility. Their seed of hope will finally emerge to a tangible reality, through their involvement in civil, social, and religious matters. The day will come when these people will be able to share their richness in religion, culture and sense of family. These people are a people with lots of love to give. Their biggest dream is to develop an education which helps the family and leads to integration based on the values of their culture and what they can contribute to society in general. They are a simple people struggling to go forward and be who they are; proud and ready to be part of America, integrated, not assimilated.

diana is a little on the cool side this time of the year! It doesn’t matter where you are, when a themometer reads 129 it’s hot kMaybe. Actually, last Wednesday will be a day remembered by many for the winds which hit, not for the temperature which was no where near the 129 degree mark. f Winds reached upward from the 50 mph mark with reports of over 90 mph winds a few miles north of Milford. Trees and any items that were not tied down were at the mercy of the winds, as were the workings of the clock. The strong winds also pulled roofing material off half of the Phend and Brown, Inc.’s office building. The damage, report representatives of the firm, was repaired on Friday.

In our local area, we already find Hispanics working toward this goal. We already have two churches in Milford; one is 100 percent Spanish and the other is bilingual. We already have one Catholic, Mexican American deacon, several ministers, radio announces, businessmen and others willing and able to be part of the “Great American Dream.” In this last paragraph, I say we, because I am proud to be part of this new race. We have much work to do, for we know we are misunderstood, but a native citizen of the United States of America. I feel we should not be a controversy, but an asset. We want to be part, but we also love our heritage, which some people think is only “tacos.” I hope some day people will see that we are more, much more.
