The work to restore electricity in many areas of Kosciusko County continues this morning because many areas of the county have been without electrical service for more than 30 hours. Yesterday’s rainy, cold temperatures left a thick coating of ice on power lines and trees. Much of Winona Lake had no power this morning as well as homes in North Webster, Tippecanoe Lake, Irish Lake and the Barbee chain of lakes as well as half of Dewart Lake were still without power today.

Elkhart Memorial gave Warsaw a dose of its own basketball medicine here Saturday night. Fortunately, it was just what the doctor ordered. With both teams playing for the best shot, better rebounding and best defensive position, Warsaw had just a little more patience than the visiting Crimson Chargers, beating Elkhart Memorial 55-48 in the Tiger Den. Warsaw’s Brant Bair had eight points in Warsaw’s victory.

It was a tribute to his outstanding contribution in the field of aquatics. Wallie was a Red Cross career man in water safety for many years. The Claussens live at Silver Springs, Fla. She was Dorothy Power, niece of the late Leah Power, children’s librarian in the Warsaw-Wayne Township library.

A flood relief party held at Leesburg recently at the Civic Hall, sponsored by ladies of the Eastern Star and Leesburg Lodge of Masons, was a great success. Receipts were $81.38, all of which will be turned over to Kosciusko County Red Cross society. The committee wishes to thank all who participated and so generously contributed. Coffee and doughnuts were served and everyone had a good time.
