cessful were the other sponsors — the Milford Kiwanis Club and area businesses. Among those helping direct the Halloween trick-or-treaters and their parents through the health care facility was a very attractive “waitress” (in the person of Kiwanian Bill Little). One area mother, who took her Ihi-year-old son to the festivities, says she hopes this Halloween event continues in years to come because of the excitement it brings to both the young and the old. MILFORD NUTRITION Site paid special tribute to Janet Coy at Friday’s noon meal in the Milford Community Building. She had been employed in the home of Mrs. Herb (Edith) Baumgartner for the past two years and accompanied Mrs. Baumgartner to the REAL meals.

Janet was recognized for the contributions, faithfulness and special qualities toward all who have attended the REAL Services program. Gifts were given and words of appreciation were spoken. Donna Fisher is the Milford site director. WHILE WE’RE mentioning Donna Fisher, she and her husband, Noble, recently received a letter (written October 13) from their daughter, Earleen, who is beginning her third year with the Associated Press Bureau in New Delhi, India. Excerpts from the letter are as follows: We’ve been short-staffed since I got back from Bangladesh and Nepal. When I got to the office last Saturday morning, I found we had no one to work the night shift because the staffer who was scheduled was at the hospital where he’d taken his father-in-law who’d had a heart attack in the middle of the night. This put the son-in-law out of working commission for most of the next night, because no one leaves relatives alone in Indian hospitals if he/she wants to see the patient alive again. Most nursing, not to mention medical, care here is a little, .shall we say, casual. I spent 12 days in Bangladesh and Nepal. 1 interviewed the president of Bangladesh (again) and the new prime minister of Nepal. I seem to specialize in access to people most of the world hasn't heard of and wouldn't care if it had. But it seems to make the people I’m interviewing feel good. In Bangladesh, I took a trip up the rivers by passenger launch — the kind that periodically sink and drown a couple hundred people. It’s not too hard to figure out why. The first launch I was on was licensed to carry 140. It usually had about 300 aboard. The biggest danger was capsizing because of all the people who wanted to be wherever I was, just to stare at the foreigner. A couple times I had to ask the crew to move the people back.

I only spent a few days in Katmandu, the capital of Nepal. Delhi was burning a bit, so I figured I should get back. University and now high school students have been trying to commit suicide by setting themselves on fire. This is a protest against a government attempt to save more jobs for low-caste people. High-caste kids (who are the best-educated because they’re high-caste) are afraid there won’t be enough jobs left for them. It’s turning into mass hysteria. Most of the very poorest people in India are low-caste or worse — the “untouchables” — who aren’t allowed to take water from wells near high-caste people or even walk by their houses. — Sincerely, Earleen A THANKSGIVING luncheon was being hosted today (Wednesday) in the New Paris home of Mrs. Richard (Gwen) Steffen, with Mrs. Stanley (Linda) Wuthrich, Milford, assisting as co-hostess. Those expected to be attending the luncheon are Emma Haab, Laura Kammerer, Ruth G. Beer, Esther Haab, Melba Hunsberger, Edith Baumgartner, Anna Rassi, Esther Getz, Martha Wuthrich, Mary Gerber, Tillie Kasbaum, Marie Reuter, Florence Stieglitz and Esther Welty. A TOTAL of 41 Brownies (grades one through three) from Leesburg, North Webster and Milford attended a Brownie TryIt Day in Milford. The event entitled “Puppets, Plays and Dolls” was held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at Lakeland Loving Child Care Center. A Try-It is a badge, which Brownies can earn in designated areas. The girls spent the day making a marionette, bag puppet and yarn doll. The afternoon concluded with the girls using the puppets in the presentations of skits on “Being Safe.” Local Brownies attending were Mandy Phillips, Jodie Pressler, Candice Shearer and Katie Pope,

members of Troop 56; and Crystal Pamer, Ashley Hurd, Amanda Lechlitner, Amee Nites, Katie Jones and Becky Patterson, members of Troop 248. Local leaders hosting the event were Brenda Sherer, Judy Jones and Deb Patterson. A FORMER student at Milford Junior High and Wawasee High School, Jeff Williams, 17, son of Bob and Dottie Williams, is now back home in Dayton, Ohio, after lying in a coma three weeks in Parkview Memorial Hospital, Fort Wayne. While his family was back in the area September 28 to close the sale on their house at Camelot Lake, Jeff visited with old high school friends. That evening he sustained serious head injuries in an automobile accident and was flown to the Fort Wayne hospital. Although his rapid recovery has amazed doctors, family and friends, the young man reportedly has a long way to go before he is completely recovered — perhaps as long as tyo years. With the help of area Shriners, he was flown from Fort Wayne to Dayton on Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 30. Jeff hopes to graduate on schedule from high school next spring and plans to attend the University of Cincinnati where he will study engineering. Those wishing to send cards may send them to the family’s home address: 2319 Munger Pointe Dr., Dayton, Ohio 45459. PEARL HOUSOUER will be 86 on November 18. She is currently a resident at the Lakeland Loving Care Center. Cards may be sent to her at the center, P. O.

Hiler favored in Van Buren

Despite results of the final tally, the majority of voters in all three precincts of Van Buren Township voted against the Third District Representative Democrat winner, Tim Roemer. Roemer received only 36 percent of the total votes confirming Kosciusko County’s primarily Republican status. Untouched by the county’s norm was the race for Van Buren Township Trustee.

high voter turnout could cause his upset, the Democrat candidate walked away with 388 votes to spare, an easy upset over Republican challenger Bill Durbin. The county’s ‘vote Republican’ pattern again became evident on the ballot for Township Board members. Van Buren hopefuls Robert L. Beer (R) and Harry D. Doty (R) were the top contenders grasping onto 682 and 616 votes

respectively. Jean Treesh (D) followed with 524 votes leading her third opponent, Robert W. Pifer (R). Founded in 1820 Indiana University is one of the oldest state universities in the Midwest.
