Milford chronicle., 1931-05-15

Where is Uncle Jimmie? Why don
he make a motion that we have ;
June party?
Widening the DUPONT Highway.
Walter Roach and Sons o
J Georgetown who have the contrac
to widen the dupont Highway foul
feet from Milford to Georgetown
are making rapid progress with the
work.
In a few more days they will be
opposite Glendale, where the road
will be about half finished as far as
the pouring of cement is concern
/ ed.
Messrs. Roach and Sons are live
men. When they take a contract to
build cement roads, they go at it
as though they meant business, and
leave no stone unturned until the
road is finished and ready to be tur-
ned over to the Highway Depart
i ment.
Three Young Sports
Out Oakley way they have three
sports, whose time is generally Oc-
cupied in looking after the ladies of
that section.
They are somewhat advanced in
age, yet they say they are young as
they used to be.
They may think so, but others may
differ with them. 1t is said there is
nothing that equals an old sport
and we suppose this is a true say
ing.
Measles Galore
Measles have made their appear
ance in several homes in town.
Children who seem to be the pres
ent sufferers have not been very
sick so far.
Dr. Smith of Georgetown, who
represents the State Board of
Health was here last week and said |
in some sections where they have |
measles they have proved very fatal |
among the young. He warned people |
who have children suffering with the |
to be careful in not letting
them out too soon which sometimes
they take cold, which generally ends
in that dread disease, pneumonia.
Farm Improved

up to date farmer in every way. He
believes in improving his land so
that it will produce bountiful crops.
His fields of wheat, rye and grass
shows they have had the touch of a
master hand. His young apple or
