Continued from Page 3 continuing efforts on behalf of the local chamber. The pages fill. SEPTEMBER Fall breezes begin to put just a hint of a nip in the air. Pages of a journal are filled with talk of pumpkins and raking leaves, and the cheers of a crowd enjoying a football game fill the evening, as a harvest moon shines bright.

Years ago...
100 YEARS AGO JANUARY 7, 1920 A Happy New Year —how some people enjoyed the day. The new year was ushered in with beautiful weather for this season of the year, and many were those in Nappanee who took advantage of the time to make it a happy new year. As the old year was garnered and the new sprang into life, the scene in the country town differed much from that of a great city place to the oldtime watch meeting in some instances. Others took their time for making their appearance on the streets, and others made themselves known to the people who kept open houses. “The last mentioned custom was more extensively observed yesterday in Nappanee than on any previous new year day. The board of public charities has issued a pamphlet showing a comparison of the population of Indiana and Michigan, and a comparison of the number of destitute children dependent upon the state for support in each case. With less than 100,000 difference in population, Michigan has but 300 of this class of paupers and Indiana 1,800. The effort of the board is to secure an appropriation for a state school. 75 YEARS AGO January 7, 1920 The various churches are planning their work and organizing their forces for the great revival effort to begin in the local church-
es next Sunday. Some of the churches are to have evangelists to help them, but in most of the churches, the pastors will be the evangelist, and they will preach the old time gospel with its message for this age. The singing by the local choirs will be a great part of the meetings. Jesse M. Stuckman has purchased the interest of his partner, Rufus Culp, in the battery department of his garage, and it will hereafter be known as the Jesse Stuckman Battery Company. Mose Wilson of Wakarusa is associated with Mr. Stuckman as a partner in the battery department. Tire vulcanizing has been discontinued. John Newcomer has purchased a part of the Deitrich block on South Main Street, occupied by the Mullett Bros, grocery, of Fred E. Coppes. The lease of Messrs Mullet Bros, runs for another year. Mr. Newcomer may eventually occupy the block witfi his jewelry store. , .„ Mullet Bros, have had the interior of their store repainted, redecorated and remodeled into a self service grocery. This is on the order of the piggley wiggley stores that are proving so popular in the cities. 50 YEARS AGO January 4, 1945 Seven Nappanee High School boys, all members of the varsity basketball team, were involved in an automobile accident Saturday afternoon, due to the icy condition of the highways. The boys were on their way to South Bend to the basketball tournament, from which they had been eliminated the night before. Merril Pippen was driving the car, a 1937 Plymouth, belonging to his sister, Mrs. Wayne Dunham. All the boys were taken to the Elkhart Hospital; Merril Pippen, Charles Stump, Kenneth Walters, Kenneth Middaugh, James Lentz, Frank Hoffer and Russel Harter. Luther Yoder of the county sheriff’s office investigated the accident, and Pippen was brought before Justice Ulery and fined $lO and costs for driving without a license. Fine suspended. Damages to the car were estimated at $350. The basketball games scheduled for Friday and Saturday evenings, with Central of South Bend and North Side of Ft. Wayne, have both been postponed. Several of the players are definitely out of action for the season. SERVICE NOTES: Lowell R. Slabaugh S 1/c NAS Air Control, is stationed at Vero Beach, Florida. Mr. and Mrs. Rial Stillson, son Joe, and Miss Jean Richmond, spent Sunday with Jim Stillson A/S, at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. Delbeit L. Evans and Eugene Newcomer were inducted into the armed services in Indianapolis. 20 YEARS AGO January 2, 1975 Break-ins, gasoline thefts reported throughout community. Casting now for Nappanee Civic Theatre’s “Star Spangled Girl.” North Wood JV wins holiday tournament at West Noble. Team leaders are Randy Myers, Duane Reinhardt, Larry Kaehr, Rob Schmeltz, Roger Brown and Ron Walters.
