pecially nice to the countless
loyal readers of The Ottawa Coun-
ty News-he's bringing a new
editor as of January /. My sue
cesSor will be Jack Park, former
managing editor of the Bucyrus
Telegraph-Forum, who Joined the
staff this week and is making
friends rapidly. Jack has had a
world of experience in the news
paper field and will continue TO
make The News one of Ohlo's out
standing weeklies. / wish him the
best Of luck and know you will CO.
operate with him as you have with
me in the past. My plans for the
future are unsettled as Uncle Sam
could change them quite quickly.
l shall leave soon after January

Florida and may return to my
veterinarian studies at Ohio State
University in the spring. After l6
years on the staff of The Ottawa
County News, with four years out

ONE of the most colorful sight'
~ this holiday season is th'
drive east on Fourth street, a
you approach the Lake Shor'
Dairy. In front of the dairy is
large tree, artifcially lighted 81
that at night the colored light
form the outline of an almos
perfect shaped tree :. It's wortl
your time to drive over to Mllal
during the holidays, just to &c
glimpse of the spectacular holida
lighting in the square. Each yea
the Milan square seems to b
more beautiful than before wit
its thousands of twinkling light
and other decorations. Neon ha
been used to advantage this yeal
especially in the center piece"
