In its third year, Heartline has aided more than 240 women in crisis pregnancy situations.

That will bring fond memories to many local residents who will remember it was Dickie who won the first Soap Box Derby in Warsaw in the 1930’s. 75 Years Ago A Fort Wayne cottage owner at Hoffman Lake intends to sell his summer cottage as under the state law a motor boat cannot run on a lake more than 10 miles an hour, unless the lake contains 325 acres or more. Hoffman Lake covers 320 acres. Recently, the owner of the Fort Wayne cottage operated a motor boat which was protested by fishermen. Inquiry at the sheriff’s office resulted in its being found that no motor boats can be run on that lake at a greater speed than 10 miles an hour.
