50 Years Ago
Anne Jensen, 18, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Jensen, 2514 E. Center St., was named winner of the Warsaw Jaycee’s first annual “Junior Miss Pageant” Tuesday night. She will represent the city in state competition. Sharon Mauzy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thames Mauzy, was runner-up. For the talent competition, Jensen performed a piano solo, her original composition accompanied by drums and bass; Mauzy gave a dramatic reading from “Anastasia.” Also competing were Pat Batalis, Nancy Doyle, Aleta Mitterling, Barbara Jan Olds and Carol Welborn. John Kleeman, WRSW, was master of ceremonies.
75 Years Ago
Twenty-one years ago today on Jan. 12, 1918, occurred one of the worst blizzards ever experienced in this region. Wayne Township Assessor George Elliott recalled sub-zero temperatures lasting several days. Deep snows had drifted over corn shocks and fences, often hiding them completely. Railway trains were either not running or 12 to 24 hours late, motor traffic and even walking was almost impossible. Everybody kept indoors. Temperatures ranged from 28 to 30 degrees below zero. Traffic of every description was paralyzed, schools closed, business suspended, livestock suffered or died, and inconvenience resulted generally. Times newsboys started on their routes, leaving bundles at neighborhood grocery stores where braver folks called and picked up their copies. Hands, ears, noses, feet, and cheeks were frozen; later came the chilblains. E.C. Aborn also gave his recollections of the World Wartime January temperatures.
