An estimated 1,000 persons witnessed the Warsaw Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsored Cole Brothers Air Show at Earl Parker Field, but the organization lost an estimated $200 in its endeavor to finance the lengthening of the 3,600-foot runway at the airport. For those in attendance, however, the air show was a success. They were thrilled when Brad Parlin made a parachute jump from 1,500 feet and landed on the runway standing up, and when another member of the troupe, Rolly Cole, spun out 31 times in a dive earthward.

Dale Ross, 16, wins the local juvenile fishing championship for this year with a catch of a 10-1/2-pound pike a few days ago at Center Lake, which he proudly displayed for The Times photo. The pike measured 36 inches in length. He landed it with a 12-pound test line, using a top water floater bait, steel pole and Winona reel after a hard fight in shallow water. The youthful fisherman is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jennings Ross, Warsaw.
