SEPTEMBER 2. 1909, must have been a special day for the people of the town of Milford. This photo shows young girls as they pose for the photographer, older citizens enjoying each other's company; and a flag display in front of the Milford Drug Company. This card is one of two sent to the Milford Historical Society by Robert F. Coombs of Colon, Mich. Because of heart surgery, Coombs is giving up his collection of cards and sent two to Milford.

Syracuse man to survey cable woes

By MITCHELL STINSON Staff Writer

Bill Fisher wants to hear from Syracuse residents who are having trouble with their cable TV service. After spending the better part of July arranging to get his cable repaired, Fisher plans to find out how big the problem is with cable service in town. “I'm working with the town clerk, trying to document with how many people on Triax (Cablevision) are having problems," he said. Fisher says he will collect data . for about a month, and then report his findings to the Syracuse Town Board. If there is a continuing, widespread problem with service, then Fisher believes that customers should take some kind of action. He says there is a clause in the contract between Triax and the town that states if a problem isn’t resolved within 90 days, the cable company can be kicked out. But realistically, he doesn't think that there’s much chance of

Poultry (reserve grand champion); Marlene Price, Poultry (meat chicken); and Loretta Schafer, Garden I and Personality (advanced). Other local champions are sure to be revealed as the results are typed up this week. FORMER MILFORD resident Maxine Brembeck, who now resides in Syracuse, recently went on a 15-day European Adventure that included “The Passion Play of Oberammergau.” The trip was July 11-26 and was hosted by Manchester College Alumni Association. The trip traced the roots of Alexander Mack, one of the founders of the Church of the Brethren. Maxine had a special interest, as she was a former member of the Church of the Brethren, attended Camp Mack on Waubee Lake as a youngster, graduated from Manchester College, and lived across from the camp before moving to Syracuse. ti Places visited include Amsterdam, Holland; Bad Berleburg; Schwarzenau; Budingen; Heidelberg; Rothenburg,;

that. Fisher says that a more realistic plan of attack would be for subscribers to refuse to pay their bills for one month. “Consequently, if you hit them in the pocket, it’s going to get their attention,” he said. “If we’re not going to get the service, then let’s not pay for it.” Triax Regional Manager Steve Trippe urges customers to take advantage of the cable company’s 24-hour problem line. He says Triax will gladly look into any cable reception troubles. “The thing we’d like to express is that if people are having problems, they should call us at 1-800-TRIAX9I,” he said. “If anyone is experiencing a problem we would welcome the opportunity to correct it.” Fisher’s cable woes started around July 1, when his reception went bad at Woodland Acres. He says that Triax officials said they would send a repairman out a few different times, but nobody ever showed up. He ended up calling Congressman John Hiler’s office and the Federal Communications Commission in an effort to get the

and learn to read engineering symbols and drawings in regard to shape, perspective, dimension and fabrication. “National Electrical Code” will prepare students to take the city or county electrician’s licensing exam.

Munich; the Neuschwanstein Castle in the Bavarian Alps; Innsbruck, Austria; Lucerne, Switzerland; a day in the Swiss Alps; Strassbourg, France, and a ride on the Rhine River from Cologne. Os course there was a stop in Oberammergau for the six-hour Passion Play. This play is sold out one year in advance and is a “once in a lifetime experience.” Maxine pointed out that most of the trip was spent on a bus. However, the group had “perfect weather with low humidity.” Just prior to the group’s arrival, there had been 13 days of rain. —o— SEVERAL AREA members of the Beer families, including Theo and Naoma Beer, Milford, and Peter and Mabel Beer, Goshen, and also, Esther Getz of Milford, attended a “cousin get-together” in the Milford Apostolic Christian Church Fellowship Hall at noon on Saturday, Aug. 11. Some of those who traveled the longest distance included Marion and Suzy Beer, Denver, Colo., Edith (Beer) Brown of Maryland, and Marilyn (Beer) Riggs, Indianapolis, all children of the late Henry and Alice Beer.

problem resolved. Fisher says that the problem was finally dealt with after he told Triax officials about those phone calls. “After 45 minutes of phone calls, I got my problem solved, but not everybody can do that,” he said. Fisher said the Triax officials were always courteous, but they just didn't seem to be making any headway on solving the reception problem. Fisher urges subscribers to call him from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Fisher’s Lawn and Garden, 457-4043. He needs names, telephone numbers, and the nature of the cable problem. Fisher's fact-finding mission could show that there isn’t a wide-spread problem with cable reception in Syracuse. But he doubts it. He’s heard stories and now he wants to get them documented. Triax officials should be as curious about the findings as Fisher is. Even more so, according to Trippe. He says that if there are wide-spread problems, his office wants know it and do something about it.

Old trunk I had an old trunk that my mother bought for me when I was younger. I made it into a beautiful accessory for my living room. I placed the trunk in a corner, left/the lid open and put some old treasured family pictures on the inside of the lid. I put a quilt that I had crocheted in it and draped a corner of it down on the outside of the trunk. I have gotten so many compliments and a couple of friends have asked me over to help them arrange a trunk in the same manner. Regina W., Oklahoma City, Okla.
