25 Years Ago
Warsaw Mayor Jeff Plank started collecting basketball cards three years ago; his sons--Ryan, Andy and Justin--all collect sports cards. Yesterday, Micah Kreisher, 9, sat on the front steps of Snyder's Coin and Jewelry looking through the Beckett Basketball price guide he just purchased. “I collect cards because it's fun and I like it.”
50 Years Ago
Paul M. Scott wrote a poem to honor Mrs. Gladys Culver. Mrs. Culver attended North Webster school from grades one through 12, graduating in a class of 15 from North Webster High School and then Ball State University, and returning to North Webster to spend 29 years teaching second grade.
Doyle D. Hathaway, 70, Danville, Pa., came home to attend the 50th reunion of Claypool High School's Class of 1915. He resided in Warsaw 42 years ago when he was associated with the United Telephone Co. His brother Vere, a former street-car conductor on the Warsaw-Winona Railway, died in 1949. The mayor of Danville asked Mr. Hathaway to rid the community of pigeons after reading that he was given an award for teaching firearms safety. He has “rubbed out” 678 pigeons since then.
75 Years Ago

Also Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Breading found 100 sponge mushrooms in a short period of time.[[In-content Ad]]
