    Prize medals were recently received by Donald Decker and Lester Hamm, both of Warsaw. The medals were awarded through the Ocean Accident and Guarantee Corporation, by the Indiana Service Corporation, where the men serve as chauffeurs, for safe driving of their respective motor buses without a single accident throughout the year 1927. The slightest accident will prevent a driver from receiving this coveted prize and it is a worthy recognition of most excellent and careful driving on the part of these young men who make the run to Fort Wayne and return each day.
