Milford City Council
News

Milford City Council at its semi
monthly meeting on Tuesday even
ing of this week, passed a motion
.offered by Second Ward Council
man A. Calvin Ball, and seconded
by First Ward Councilman Harvey
G. Marvel, to the effect that filling
and grading work presently being
done on the south side of the Mis-
pilliOn River in the vicinity of the
new Department of Public Safety
Building, be extended to include all
of the available land going east
owned by the city, the same land
to then be made available for free
public parking.
City Council action above was
taken following a request made by
a delegation from Milford Chamber
of Commerce. Former State Sena
tor Robert H. Yerkes, secretary to
the Board of Directors, was spokes-
man for the group which included
Thomas B. Derrickson, president of
the Chamber of Commerce; Ted
Aber, immediate past president, and
George R. Sheaffer, a member of the
board of directors. Messrs Aber
and Derrickson also took part in
the discussion, preceding the mo-
tion and vote
Mayor William r. Murphy also
explained that several hundred
loads of dirt and debris from de-
molished buildings and highway
work, had been placed on the city
owned land adjacent to the present
city parking lot on North East
Front Street in North Milford, and
space for over an additional hum
dred cars would be available there
for free parking by Christmas. This
land lies directly south of the pres
ent parking lot and includes the
long ditch to the west, which has
also been completely filled in.
While a permanent surfacing job
is not anticipated at the present,
it was brought out that the land
has settled, is firm and will sup
port parking.
1t was also brought out that be-
ginning with the first of last month,
all monies taken in from parking
meters are being earmarked for use
in developing additional city own
ed and operated parking facilities.
In reply to direct query by Mr..
Yerkes, il was stated that from time
to time. as properties adjacent to
city parking facilities are offered
for sale that the city plans their
purchase and removal. and the ded-

FALLING IN LOVE WITH
OURSELVES

A number of years ago it was my
privilege to serve as a member of
the Board of Publication of the
American Lutheran Church. Such
membership involved the reading of
manuscripts submitted for publica-
ton. One of my associates in this
work was DR.. Neumann, head of the
department of English of a midwes-
tern university and a writer of
some distinction himself One day
in discussing manuscript submit
ted, | asked him what he thought
was the most difficult form of Gre
ative writing, and without one bit
of hesitation he replied: Writing
proverb. have tried it and it is
tough"
Here the name of Benjamin
Franklin comes to mind. His
achievements were many in science,
in education and in craftsmanship.
Perhaps he is best known for the
practical maxims he published in
his Poor Richards Almanac"
These maxims-another name for
proverbs-are many and varied and
l would recall a few of them for
you: Waste not, want not" "He
that lies down with the dogs shall
rise with feas." Three may keep
a secret if two of them are dead"
Keep your eyes wide open before
marriage, half shut afterwards" eff
you would know the value of mon
ey, try to borrow some" And she
that falls in love with himself will
never have a rival"
Of all these proverbs. so difficult
to write, / am especially intrigued
with the last one. And when |
think of the many people who fall
in love with themselves, a legend
of Greek mythology comes to mind
1t is story about Narcissus. This
young man-so the legend runs
lived long before mirrors had been
invented. Never having seen him
self he was not aware of his own
beauty. Then one day, as the poet
Keats puts it,
I'm some delicious ramble he
found
A little space, with boughs all
woven round,
And in the midst of all clear
er pool"
Heated and thirsty, he stopped to
drink from the quiet water of the
pool and saw his own image re-
f1ected there, but he did not know
that it was himself. He thought
that it must be some pretty fairy

Friends may think we seem to smile
Little do they know the sorrow
