Gerald F. Williams is a retired postmaster from Marion, currently residing at Tippecanoe Lake. As a birthday present, his wife Jean took advantage of a U.S. Postal Service offer allowing anyone submitting a suitable photo to make it into stamps. Before the offer was stopped, photostamps were made of Williams, his grandson, Kyal, and his 1931 post office mail truck, which has been entered in parades and is on display at the Kokomo auto museum.
Local fourth-graders Grant Carlson, Nick Hamrick, Kyle Cramer, Austin and Aaron Fryback helped a neighbor and raked her leaves.

Times carrier boys were treated to fair rides and a number of shows. Several backed out when it came their turn to ride the loop-the-loop. They had loads of fun in the fun house and in the roll-o.

Concessionnaires began to fight one another late last night on the uptown street when interrupted by night officer Judd Pittenger. No injuries resulted.[[In-content Ad]]
