Show Qui 9 Jtaaid. Bv STEVE WILLIAMS City Police Chief Wally Fother-ingham Fother-ingham is starting to worry about the motorists starting to get careless care-less again with their parking. . The state law, and the Milford city ordinances, specify that a car parked at a curb must not be farther far-ther than 18 inches from the curb, measuring from the curb to either wheel. Some of 'em we've seen are parked with one end or tother sticking out more than three feet. It's dangerous to other motorists, motor-ists, especially when two cars are meeting at a point where some careless or inconsiderate motorist parks his car "the easy way" heading in to the curb instead of driving past the parking place and backing in properly. Wally says he'd rather have people peo-ple cooperate after their attention is called to the violation, instead of having to write tickets. And that parking near the curb doesn't apply just to Main Street. The side streets and even the alleys are included. With things the way they are now, about (he only thing people can't afford is the first of the month. We thought mayte we wuz gonna have a new turkey farm in Milford when a delegation from St. George made up of Ctiy Conucilmen and headed by Mayor Barlocher hit town, but it was just the city dads looking over the Milford streets i nd checking with Mayor Kizer on hew we dood it. These days a child who knows the value of a dollar must get mighty discouraged! Sheriff Lee R. Fillmore is driving driv-ing around in a brand new Buick purchased from Bob and Marge, " but he ain't too happy about it. Reason No. 1 is he wasn't ready to trade off the old Buick, and for reason No. 2: He was chasing gas thieves in South Milford when he ran into a parked truck, and the old buggy is now a total wreck. "And to make me feel worse, Sheriff Fillmore said, "I had been trying to catch those birds for several sev-eral nights, and this time I think I'd have had 'em if it hadn't been for that parked truck." Folks out South Milford way, and especially the ladies, are hard at work planning their fair, which is presented annually on Labor Day, and thsy urge all residents of the area with things to be displayed dis-played to start picking out the best ones. They're planning a real humdinger hum-dinger of a fair this year.
