10 Years Ago
Dec. 13 1986
There's no magic formula to living to be 100, but Bernice Gridley of Winona Lake claims a few things helped along the way. "You obey the Bible, have good, healthy parents and a good nutrition. I've always had a good garden where I live. That's one reason I've lived so long," she said.
25 Years Ago
Dec. 13 1971
Don Goshert, a representative of Ramsey News Company, 1128 E. Winona Ave., Warsaw, was presented a check for $150 by W.P. Ramsey, owner of the firm, representing the third place award in a national contest of Bantam Books for promoting books best in schools. Ramsey News pioneered the introduction of paperbacks in high schools 11 years ago.

Dec. 13 1946

Dec. 13 1921
The instructor of certain grade pupils in the Warsaw schools requested youngsters write essays on "A Dog." Here is one actually read by a small boy.
