Show Old number 52 cverytime I see the volume numger of the "News", I wonder when the first issue really was print-ted. print-ted. The first week of January in a brand new century just seems too pat to be real. We know from reading the history bocks of Beaver County Coun-ty that there Vvas a newspaper in Milford in the 1880's, but we don't know if there has been a newspaper here continuously con-tinuously since. We do know that the one in the history books moved here from Beaver City and very shortly moved back. There was also a daily at Frisco at the time, so their easily could have been another paper in Milford. o Anyway, the files of the News go back to 1915, a.nd anybody any-body with knowledge of Milford Mil-ford newspapers before that time we would welcome hearing hear-ing from, or seeing any issue which dates back beyond 1915. o Another item of history we would be interested in knowing know-ing is when (year) Milford first became a town. Not officially on the record books, we know that date is 1925, but when it first became a trading center with stores, etc. Anyone who kii3.,able to supply this information informa-tion would be welcomed.

Fortunately, with no school there was not nearly as much traffic as usual in the area and no accidents. The driver driv-er was able to put chains on and straighten himself out and proceed. But it does point up the need for that portion of the state highway 21 to be cleared as soon as possible after a snow. Blind corners, and the jog in that area make it more hazardous hazard-ous than most roads anyway. With snow it is even more dangerous. dan-gerous. o Both County crews and State crews pass over the stretch o road on their way out of town, and if it hasn't already been cleared, we feel that the first ono to it should drop their blade as they go and the city grader would not be out of line if they reach the area when in need of snow removal.
