DR.. and Mrs. Clyde Nelson choose
Monday evening, too, for a little

Isle Collins, Mr.. and Mrs. George
NJ Sipple, Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
Stokes, Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin p. Mes
sick, and Mr.. and Mrs. l. DOlphus
Short. Just here, we might say that
DR.. and Mrs. Nelson had distinguish
ed guests over the weekend. Capt.
and Mrs. Ashley C. Mckinley, he of
the Byrd Expedition, were here. 1t
is splendid that Milford folks get a
glimpse of these people who have
had part in the worlds events and
we are grateful to DR.. Nelson and
the l.. d. Caulk Company for the
part they play in letting the rest of
the world know that Milford has
very decidedly a place on the map.
