continued from page one)
Majorettes, Cindy Endress, Connie
Hamilton, Donna Teare and Suz-
anne Nicely. The program was well
presented and inspired the men,
bers to open their meeting with
renewed vigor to plan the many
projects to support the Junior and
Senior Bands.
The meeting was called to order
by the new president, Bill Craig
Officers were introduced and new
and old members became acquaint
ed. Reports were given and then
the meeting was turned over to
open discussion on the main pro-
iect for the year. New uniforms
and Band support are the goals
set for this year. 1t is the hope of
the Band Boosters to see the band
in new uniforms next Year.
The first project to raise funds
will take place Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, Dec. 18th, 10th and
18th. This will be a combined
effort of the Bands and it's Boost
ers under the direction of Ray
Sparklin, the Ways and Means
Chairman. What is this big pro-
ject: Tag Days. Tag Days are go
ms to be an exciting experience
for the Band members because
they will be working hard for the
uniforms they need so badly and
it gives them a feeling of indepen-
dence, that they are not just ask
ing for uniforms from the citizens
of their town but are proving that
they are willing to work and are
only asking for aid from adults
which all youth must feel is his
right.
The Bands will be supervised by
a group of fathers and will be in
uniform. They will have the Tags
and will accept any donation for
them. Buy a Tag from a Band
Member and wear it proudly
knowing that you have helped a
youngster help himself. The sue :.
cess of this venture will give the
Band members confidence to go on
to the next project for unif3rm
funds and soon the new uniforms
will be a reality. They are indeed
worthy group and an asset to
the City of Milford. Support these
Tag Days and give a lift to the
boys and girls that represent
Milford so we'll
The next meeting of the Band
Boosters will be held in the Band
Room on January 23rd. All are
welcome.

Highway Crews Are
Reading For Winter

The State Highway Department
maintenance forces have completed
their preparations for snow remov-
al during the coming winter, ac-
cording to j. H. McWilliams, Jr.,
Maintenance Engineer for the De-
partment.
Snow removal crews have been
made acquainted with their duties
and have been assigned to the areas
they will cover during the period
in which their activities will be re-
Quired. Snow removal equipment,
including blades and plows for
trucks, have also been placed at
various points throughout the state
Sand mixed with calcium chic
ride, and in some places, rock salt,
have been stock piled at numerous
points along highways ready to be
used by the snow removal crews.
In preparation for snow removal
work, Mr.. McWilliams reported that
the Department has purchased 1O1,-
400 feet of new snow fence, with
100 new posts for the erection
of the fence
In addition to the sand, which
was available to the Department,
500 tons of salt and $50 tons of cal
eium chloride have been purchased
and distributed throughout the
state.
Placing the snow plows and
graders in shape for snow removal
work required the purchase of ST.
935 pounds of blades for the plows
and 102,240 pounds of blades for the
graders.
while every possible prepara-
ton for snow removal work has
been made" said Mr.. McWilliams,
I'VE cannot compete with the worst
hazard confronting this work, that
of the continuing traffic in plowing
areas and stranded vehicles during
a heavy storm, which will normally
slow the work of the snow removal
crews, particularly on busy high
ways"
