A total of 11 curio shops decorate Pierceton’s main thoroughfare, plus a 12th shop, D and J Antiques, stands at the north edge of town, on U.S. 30, and harkens travelers off the highway. These shops account for approximately one-third of Pierceton’s uptown businesses and create bright places to visit on a Saturday afternoon. 50 Years Ago Dr. Dan Urschel, along with his assistants Paul Arbaugh and Denton Abbey, was one of the 66 physicians who flew to Don Scott Field at Columbus, Ohio recently to participate in the National Institute of Mobilization of Health Services in an emergency meeting.

Physicians flew in from a five state area for the meeting. 75 Years Ago Dr. George Kress and Marie Sohaski, county nurse, were guest speakers at Warsaw Rotary Club’s weekly luncheon at the Hotel Hays.
