The Wilbur McSherry farm, near Palestine, will be awarded the John Arnold Rural Preservation Award Aug. 13 in front of the Indiana State Fair grandstand. The state award recognizes annually an Indiana farm that utilizes historic farm buildings in its operation. This is the second time in the approximately 10 years of the award that a Kosciusko County farmer has been honored. The Metzger farm was given the award last year.
Carla Ott, the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ott, Warsaw, won Reserve Grand Champion honors with her 3-year-old Cockapoo, "Angel," in the 4-H Dog Show at the local fairgrounds. Carla also won blue ribbons in dog handling and obedience competition. She competed in the 4-H Cat Show and won a Reserve Grand Champion ribbon in the altered male division.
Downtown Warsaw is soon to become a more convenient place to shop. Mayor Jack Engle, Chamber of Commerce President Alvin Rockhill and Charles Miller, chairman of the Retail Merchants' division, unveiled a city-merchant co-operative plan whereby shoppers will be given "free" automobile parking privileges in the downtown areas.
Mr. and Mrs. Nick Gores and John Carnegis were among Warsawans to attend the American Legion and Auxiliary state convention in Kokomo.
