10 Years Ago Caught up in the arms of their wives, children and parents, Company A of the 1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry, said farewell to family and friends again at the armory north of Warsaw. On a two-day leave from Camp Atterbury, near Columbus where they have trained since Nov. 11, more than 60 “Night Devils” parted from their loved ones at noon to return to base. The battalion, which includes the Warsaw unit, will report to its mobilization station, Fort Knox, Ky., in early December. 25 Years Ago Throughout the year, members of the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary conduct various fundraisers and participate in many activities. But Christmas is, by far, the busiest time of all for the 30-plus women actively involved in the auxiliary. A “mitten tree” was put up in branches of First National and Lake City Banks. The mitten tree idea started a number of years ago, when a resident of a nursing home wanted to do something for the children of the community, according to auxiliary member Anita Robb. 50 Years Ago Is the Kosciusko County area and Warsaw becoming the “Florida and Miami” of the north? If temperatures are any indication, it could be! The mercury hit a summery high of 65 in Warsaw Thursday and it was expected to go higher today! It was also 65 degrees in Miami, Los Angeles and San Diego. In Tampa, Fla., the high was 64. Thermometers dipped to a low of 32 in Warsaw this morning. 75 Years Ago Mrs. Paul Elliott and Misses Ruby Miller, of Dowagiac, Mich., Molly Rickel of Goshen, and Goldie Taylor of Claypool, all graduates of the Laura Lee School of Beauty Culture, South Buffalo Street, have gone to Indianapolis to take their practical examinations at the state house.
