10 Years Ago The Lakeview Middle School Science Plus students competed in an inter-school science fair. The students were from Mark McCollom and Dan Ray’s classes. The first-place winners were Kristin Lafollette and Lindsay Houvener. Seventy-five Eisenhower fifth-grade students recently finished the Exchange City 10-week study of economic principles and spent the day in Fort Wayne applying what they had learned. Mayor of Exchange City, Adam Ganyard, helps police officers; Matthew Boggs and Mario Bautista sort through tickets given to students for things such as littering and walking on the grass. 25 Years Ago Prairie View Rest Home, 300 E. Prairie St., Warsaw, is celebrating National Nursing Home Week, May 8-14. The theme, “Respect: The Heart Of Caring”, will call attention to the importance of respect in a nursing home environment. This month they are painting and selling wooden tulips to put in the ground. The faithful maintenance man, Herschel Williams, keeps Prairie View supplied with wooden tulips. The tulips are being sold for $3.50 each or two for $6. Since the weather is too cool to start block walks, the residents settled for a ride through Warsaw. They were able to stop by the llama farm, north of Atwood. Betty Foreman was quite amazed at the long-necked creatures, as a herd of them grazed in a field. They are looking forward to more spring “cruises.” 50 Years Ago Bourbon won first place in the recent Marshall County livestock judging contest.

A mild, gentle heat for safely ironing silks, rayons, and other delicate fabrics; an intense heat for the heavier, damper pieces and any intermediate heat that may suit you. When you set the control (by a mere touch of the finger) for any desired heat, the automatic switch inside of the iron, maintains the heat, at all times, at the desired degree. The iron cannot overheat nor will it reach a fire hazard temperature if you should get interrupted while ironing and forget to turn off the electricity. This iron is so designed and constructed as to assure years of satisfactory, trouble-free service. It pays to pay a little more and get the best. Special offer – for a limited time: We will allow you $1 for your old iron toward the purchase of a New “American Beauty” electric iron equipped with cord-support: Terms as low as 95 cents down, then $1 per month.
