Quilt Draw The prize is a beautiful quilt hand-crafted by the Milford Friendship Circle / The Draw will be Saturday, October 17, 1998 at 3 p.m. at the Harvest Tea, Milford Town Hall Working Stiffs - Continued from page 5 station which took the commuters into the city. I would arrive about six AM, and work the pumps and counter until quarter to eight when the bulk of the commuters had caught their train, then go to school for an 8:15 start. One commuter train left at 6:30, and another at 7:15. We sold newspapers, and it soon became apparent that a man would sell his first born child rather than be without his newspaper during the commute. Men would sprint into the gas station moments before the train was to arrive, throw a bill on the counter, grab their paper....and ST tA i O.P.P. Constable Jennifer Tompkins Local Community Service Officer of the O.P.P. will be available in the former Township Hall in Milford at the following times: Aug. 4 - 10:00 am to 12:00 noon Aug. 11 - 6:00 to 8:00 pm Aug. 18 - 10:00 am to 12:00 noon Aug. 25 - 6:00 to 8:00 pm If you have any problems or concerns regarding police protection in the community Constable Tompkins will be pleased to discuss them with you. then wait for change.
