April 6 10 Years Ago Two dates and times in May were discussed for the dedication of the Oakwood Memorial Chapel facility in Oakwood cemetery recently by the board of regents. A couple of days for the ceremony were discussed to give Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins the chance to attend the ceremony. Designed as a place to hold graveside services during inclement weather, six services have been held in the chapel. 25 Years Ago Warsaw Mayor Jeff Plank found the riding rough during a recent donkey basketball game at Grace College. The mayor was corralled into participating in the contest, which benefited the Lakeland Christian Academy athletic department, and brought together teams of pastors, teachers, students and board members. About 450 persons attended the fundraiser. 50 Years Ago Charlotte Marie Butler, of Fort Wayne, daughter of Mrs. Charles A. Butler, Warsaw, is looking forward to leaving April 19 for an extended holiday in Europe. Charlotte Marie formerly worked for The Times-Union. When she leaves for Europe she will sail aboard the S.S. Queen Mary. She plans to return early in June on the S.S. Queen Elizabeth. She will visit 10 countries in Europe. She will visit with friends in Paris, and prior to returning to Fort Wayne will be a guest of friends in New York City for several days. 75 Years Ago Forty-five pupils and 18 parent-patrons from the Hall and Miller grade schools in Jefferson Township, accompanied by Trustee Mace Hollar and teachers, Kenneth Haney and Fred Haney, thoroughly enjoyed a sight-seeing auto trip to Warsaw recently, visiting points of interest. At the Warsaw fire station and police station, workings of the fire engine equipment and police machine-guns were shown. At the jail the police radio and cell blocks were interesting to the youngsters, some of the smallest of whom had never been in Warsaw before. At the Warsaw Times office the automatic printer telegraph machines on which The Times receives its news reports, both day and night, amazed the visitors.
