The last Amtrak passenger train will travel through Warsaw Saturday, Nov. 10, at 11:30 p.m. Amtrak's rerouting of its passenger service from Conrail lines and out of Warsaw puts it on smoother CSX tracks through Nappanee. The train finished its first trip on the line today, from Chicago to Pittsburgh and back again, when it pulled into Chicago at 2 a.m. The old B & O passenger service left Nappanee April 30, 1971. To celebrate passenger service returning to Nappanee, nearly 300 people from the community boarded the train, with an estimated 1,000 people turning out for the festivities. Mayor Robert Callander gives a lot of credit to Dick Pletcher for putting together the proposal and supervising the building of the platform.

Much interest in organizing Kosciusko County's first historical society is evident in all parts of the county, and it is hoped that all interested persons will attend the meeting Tuesday, Nov. 16, in the Circuit Courtroom of the Kosciusko County Courthouse. Indiana will celebrate the 150th year of Statehood in 1966 and Kosciusko County should have a historical society to take the lead in promoting this county and to observe the 150th Birthday of Indiana in a fitting and proper manner. Committee chairmen: Mrs. Eva Schue, general chairman; Mrs. Ruth Kain, publicity; Mrs. William Nice, registration; Mrs. Becky Schermmerhorn, programs; Mrs. Karl Stookey, greeters; Pauline Jordan, responsible for securing a meeting place. Hubert H. Hawkins, director of the Indiana Historical Bureau, Indianapolis, will be the principal speaker.
