Residents along the Warsaw Country Club side of Winona Lake are now commuting by way of boat to Billy Botkin's pier, and thence by auto to Warsaw, because of the closing of the Country Club (Herbert Robinson) road, which is now under construction. The road, almost three miles in length, has been completed from its south end almost to the Country Club entrance which by tonight will be closed for a period of three weeks. The Country Club has made arrangements for its golf-playing members to be transported across the lake in Botkin's launch.
