Despite a wet and slippery track, the stock car races brought but a big crowd to the Warsaw Speedway Saturday night, as one of the closing night features of the county fair, and thrills and spills were numerous.

The rain delayed the start of the races about an hour, but the program was completed in good time, with Gale Smith, of Warsaw, capturing the 25-lap feature race ahead of Art Johnson, also of Warsaw, and Jack Riley, of Huntington, who were second and third, respectively.

School hack drivers of Tippecanoe Township must keep their hair cut and shave twice a week. In addition, they must wear clean overalls, according to orders issued by Milo Strombeck, the township trustee.

Strombeck said, "I believe hack drivers and teachers should be an example to the children." Two years ago Strombeck required that women teachers should not wear skirts shorter than six inches below the knee.
