Today wherever women meet,
the conversation, sooner or Ia
ter, comes around to the taste
and smell of the town water. In
other days one offered a glass of
water to a stranger with a feel
ing of pride. Now one does it
with a word of apology. If there
were germs in the town system,
they, with their ancestors and
their descendants, long ago suf-
fered a lightning death and were
buried at sea. The merits Of the
old-time pump and the transpor-
tation of water therefrom has
been considered. Another thing
that women discuss is the ever
present SCOT from the municipal
power plant that clings to roofs,
porches, window sills and clothes.
The long, long screech of the fire
siren at night is another griev-
ance of feminity. This writer
was persuaded If "all these
things were told" the backing
would be hundred per cent.
These are things that could be
considered with an open mind
without malice. and with a pleas
ing result to all. If they had an
moved the men they would have
been corrected long and merry
ago.

Word comes from Washington,
d. c., of the recent fiftieth we'd
ding anniversary celebration of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert J. Mears.
Many of the older residents of
Milford will remember this cou-
pie who spent a number of years
of their married life here, this
being Mr.. Mears' native town
and scene of his boy and young
manhood. Their living room was
banked with flowers which came
from friends and well wishers as
we'll as cards and gifts from
friends and family. There were
fifteen members present at the
celebration consisting of four
daughters and four sons-in-law,
and seven grandchildren. A
grandson, Robert Sherbert, was
home on furlough from his Army
base in South Carolina. Because
of illness of Mr.. Mears a plan
ned large party had to be can
celled. Mr.. Mears held an exec
utive position in the government
printing Office in Washington for
many years, but has now retir-
ed. He was associated with sew
eral newspapers in Milford dur
ing his residence here. Local
friends wish continued happy
companionship for these former
nalawareans.

Once in a while we hear of
the meeting of boys in foreign
lands and those back home get
a thrill just thinking about the
joy of those who do the meeting.
Another instance of such was
recently when brothers-in-law
met in Hawaii. These boys had
never seen each other, but had
just become acquainted by hear
ing about one another through
other members of the family.
Much pleasure was felt by Ted
Manlove when he met Palmer
Anstine, an addition to his fam
lily since Ted was last home.
Palmer is the husband of the
former Miss Peggy Manlove.
News of the family must have
been good through the medium
of this kind. Wilson Sockrider,
who is stationed close by, has
enjoyed seeing a familiar face,
too.

Navy combat pilots here are

l.. A. Patteson, Smiley, Tex, did
over Paramushiro and Shumu-
shu islands recently. They tell
you he set new high in cool
headed combat flying. Patteson
was over Shumushu in daylight
and in clear weather-anew set
of circumstances in this aerial
war, as the majority of flights
over the enemy islands have
been made at night and almost
invariably in cloudy weather.
and four Zeros were on his tail
and every anti-aircraft battery
within range was shooting at
him.
Directly beneath him was the
big new Miyoshino airbase,
which occasionally had been
sighted by our pilots but never
had been photographed. Pate
son was out-running the Zeros,
but he was afraid that IL he
tripped his aerial camera at the
