Milford's Main Street

EMPLOYEES OF Campbell’s IGA took on the spirit of the season last weekend as they dressed for Halloween. Our choice for top costume was Nick Plank of the meat department whose costume featured a tie which carried drawing of a fulllength fish. And. who could enter the store without taking notice of the giant spider which went up and down on its web as the doors opened and closed. A clever idea! THE BUSINESS section of the October 22 South Bend Tribune featured a colored photo of Rodney Carpenter and Dennis Yoder of Brock Manufacturing Company on a new polyvinyl chloride plastic waterfront dock which was recently introduced byBrock. Along with the photo was a four-column news item on the company’s new product. THE CHRISTIAN church is

At Syracuse —

Full time director to be studied byCofC

I By MARY JANE LORTON Staff Writer The idea of a full time executive director for the chamber was once again the subject of a lengthy discussion at a meeting of the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday morning. Nov. 1. Kip Schumm commented that after having observed how effective an aggressive executive director can be. perhaps the chamber should consider creating a full time paid position. He used past executive director Carl McLear as an example stating that membership grew and members seemed to be happy with McLear's performance. However, since McLear onlylives in the area for four months, for eight months the chamber is without someone out there answering questions and promoting the chamber as McLear did Following more discussion. Bob Hampton volunteered to "do a study on the idea." He noted he will check with other communities to see what they are doing and will present his findings at the next chamber meeting. The following action was also taken at the meeting: •Bill Beemer, beautification chairman, said he has applied for third status membership in a Main Street Program. In addition. upon the suggestion of the board he will get an executive committee for beautification together as soon as possible. •Schumm showed the board an illustration of the new Christmas decorations. • The board authorized Schumm to find someone to check the photocells so that Christmas decorations can be hung. The cost is not to exceed S3OO.
