Show 76e 7att(e For some time we have wanted want-ed to start a weekly feature that would provide humor, as well as local interest to the News. We will give a year's subscription to anyone providing provid-ing subject material for "The Tattler", but reserve all rights of selection. To start off the series we will tattle on ourselves our-selves and the Post Offic. Tuesday was a big day for the Post Office being U. S. Postal Week and the day the Centennial Cancellation Block was put into service. Local dignitaries. dig-nitaries. Mayor and Council, Centennial Committee, Sorority members and other interested Milfordites were on hand for the first cancellation with the new block. The News of course was there to duly record the event. We shot pictures of the lobby full of people eating cookies and drinking punch and coffee. We recorded the first cancellation on film for history a"d shot many other pictures of human interest. Later we processed this film for this issue of the news, only to discover that the f'lm was first put in the fixer and then the developer, in reverse order and all pictures were destroyed. We proceeded to contact the Post Office andN dignitaries in order to reshoot enough pictures for this issue. In the process we learned that the date had 'been wrong on the original first cancellations and all had been called back and done over. The picture on page one is the third time some of these dignitaries submitted to this effort to publicize Milford's l Centennial in the same day. |
