    Arthur Bloomer, formerly of Warsaw, now with the accounting department of Howard Hughes Agency, Culver City, Cal., was in Warsaw to renew old acquaintances and look around the town. Bloomer, who had not been in Warsaw for the past 13 years, commented on the way the town had remained unchanged. "I was walking down North Lake Street," stated Bloomer, "when someone said 'Hello Arthur,' just as though it were 13 years ago and I was a common sight in town. I then recognized Don Harmon, a former school mate of mine."
