The important feature was the unveiling of a James Whitcomb Riley portrait, painted by Mrs. Ford's niece, Frances Norris Streit of New York City. The portrait will hang in the Claypool's Riley room. Streit also painted the statehouse portrait of George Craig, former governor.
An imitation "electric chair" has been installed in the Warsaw Fire Dept. A battery has been put under one of the chairs and when a policeman or fireman desires to have a "confidential conversation," he sits in a chair besides the "electric chair" and the fun commences. As soon as the visitor is seated the battery is turned on.
