    The swellest thing that ever hit "Warsaw" was the comment of one enthusiastic parent in discussing the Little League baseball program which ended its first season Friday evening. One mother, whose small son developed into a leading hitter and base runner, said seven broken window panes smashed in home practice sessions had been an incidental expense. Of major importance she thought was the strengthened bond between father and son as they worked together through the summer to make Junior a better ball player.

    NORTH MANCHESTER - Fred Ebbinghous has been catching a number of big carp out of Eel River this summer and got hold of one the other day that gave him the worst of the fight. He pulled the carp onto the river bank near the Ebbinghous store but it started flopping and broke the line. Fred was between it and the water and threw it part way up the steep bank two or three times, but the last time it gave a tremendous flop, and knicked Fred into the river. Then the carp got away.
