Paul Hoffer, 915 N. Parker St., Warsaw, was surprised last night when fellow members of the fire department named him "Warsaw Fireman of the Year." Hoffer has served as a volunteer fireman for the past five years, beginning in April 1968. A committee, composed of the last three men to receive this award, makes the recommendation. Hoffer is the 14th man to receive this honor. Fire Chief Norman Banghart presented Hoffer with a desk set.
Piercing skyward nearly 300 feet is the new giant tower of Radio Station WRSW. The tower mounts a super Collins 12-bay antenna 130 feet long from the top of its mast downward. The new 12-bay Collins antenna is the first and largest of its type ever used by any radio station in the world. By using the new 12-bay antenna, WRSW is capable of radiating more than 34,000 watts in its signal - thus becoming northern Indiana's most powerful broadcasting station.
Kosciusko County Jail has been empty now for nearly an entire month, excepting for the two Canadian runaway boys who were held three days, then returned home. The last prisoner held in jail was discharged Nov. 11.
