We still just can't believe it . . . burning books! that the latest traffic count bulletin shows a daily average of 841 vehicles thru Milford during Doug Bolton advises may, which is 214 more than in 1964, and double the count for 1955.

Robert Schramm, Milford garage operator and with Marge Schramm of the Puffer Lake Resort in the Beaver Mountains, found one of the old "Bank of Beaver County" coin banks, buried in debris, while getting his cabins and resort ready for summer use. Much larger in size, made of iron with a swivel handle and one coin slot (labeled "for coins only"), the old bank contrasts sharply with the smaller chrome coin banks in use today, which have slots for insertion of pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and halves, and a special slot for inserting roleld-u- p bills. The slot in the "old" bank is large enough to take a silver dollar. The modern bank has no "dollar" slot. Date of the older bank cannot be determined, but it was probably issued in the 1920s. The Beaver County Bank, located at Beaver, "folded" during the depression days and was reactivated in 1937 as a branch of the Milford State Bank. Prior to 1912 the Milford bank had been a branch of the Beaver County Bank. THE WEATHER Rep.
