Years Ago... (Note —Information for the 1 GO--75 and 50-years ago segments has been researched and posted by Mary Knobel. The Advance-News staff wishes to thank her for her contribution to the column) 100 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 9, 1898 Within the past few years a bacterial disease of the cabbage has become so prevalent in certain cabbage-growing localities as to occasion very serious losses to those engaged in the business.

the end of the first half, the score was 10-10. 50 YEARS AGO NOVEMBER 4, 1948 Parking meters for Nappanee—yes, this is a distinct possibility and all because a few of the Nappanee citizens fail to realize parking spots are not for all day parking.

Truman performed what was believed to be an impossible task, and got himself re-elected to the White House for another term.

Thank you TO THE ADVANCE-NEWS: I would like to sincerely thank all of the people in District #4 who took the time to vote on November 3, and especially you that cast your vote for me in the race for County Council. As many of you know, this was my first time to run for public office, which makes your confidence shown toward me all the more gratifying, and above all, humbling. 1 would like to thank my family for their love and support during this year, especially my son who stood by my side from start to finish. Mere words cannot express my feelings since the election, as many people have offered their congratulations and support. Your kind words will never be forgotten. I can promise little at this point, except that to try my best to bring that “fresh perspective” to my position. And listen to all sides of issues in order to make informed decisions that will benefit not only District #4, but all of our great country. I respectfully ask for your prayers your understanding, and your patience, while I work to earn the trust you have put in me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Sincerely Don Abel
